Fashion, Food, + Frivolity for Healthy, Hardworking Women
This month’s book edit is even more widespread in terms of genre than August’s Book Edit. Whether you’re into fantasy, historical fiction, true crime, or a little of everything, you’ll be itching to read at least on of these October book reviews. . .
Are you already salivating? Yeah, me too! Is it bad to admit that? Hopefully not. Roasted squash of any kind has always be a favorite of mine, but I just love this whole roasted butternut squash pasta recipe – it’s full of familiar fall flavors and it’s so easy to make. I love how the depth of flavor that comes from roasting always pairs so well with pasta – especially orecchiette (why can I never spell that one right?). The butternut squash, onions, and sliced chicken sausage all roast together on a single sheet pan in the oven while you cook the pasta. The flavors of the veggies and sausage marry in the oven with just a little work on your side (a quick mixing halfway through). . .

Since rediscovering these palazzo/wide leg pants in my closet this summer (see another wide leg pants outfit idea), they’ve been my go to. Truth be told, I can probably wear these pants year round here in LA, but I’m sharing some ideas for making them work in cooler climes too! Anyway, this black wide leg pants outfit is so easy, but it looks so refined. I tucked in one of my basic white tanks and threw my black blazer over it all. One of the great things about bringing home so many black pieces is that you can mix and match them so easily. . .
I’ve recently been into trying new brands and companies for skincare and beauty that focus on better quality ingredients. This isn’t a massive overhaul, just replacing my go tos as I use old favorites up. While many clean beauty products are quite expensive, I’m also discovering many that are much more budget-friendly, which is quite exciting. So here’s this month of beauty and skincare morsels. . .
