Temperature and precipitation should dictate our look! So, peruse the assortment of items that made the top of my list for this season and be inspired. What is your fall closet calling for?

With fall being pretty much here, there are only so many ways you can hold on to summer and, guys, I’m all about the smell of coconuts 24/7. I recently tried mark Crushing On Coconut Hand Cream at a friend’s house and couldn’t stop smelling my own hands. It’s true, I was that weird woman on the couch with her hands in front of her nose for an hour…but I don’t care. This hand cream is only $6 and it’s extra rich, which I love. Get it now so you can hold on to summer, too. #EndlessSummer
