On the hierarchy of vacations, fall retreats are criminally underrated. European summers rank high and ski chalets in the winter are a close second, but we need to give some love to our Autumn adventures. I’m ready to leave summer trips in the past and plan a fall getaway filled with apple picking, wine tasting, and sitting by a bonfire. I’ve already got my packing list sorted—it consists of regenerative wool sets, barn coats, boxer shorts, Summer Fridays’ latest lip balm, and a few books for good measure. So whether you’re headed upstate, going somewhere remote, or just looking for some cozy fall items to add to your wardrobe, I’ve got you covered.
Here’s the Packing List:
One thing about Free People? It’s going to nail a matching set every time.
Dolce Vita
Raj Boots Dk Brown Suede
It’s not a fall outfit without a tall pair of brown suede boots.
We The Free
Denim Barn Coat
Barn coats were made for fall vacations.
The Wheat Collection
Denver Thermal Mock Neck
If you want to feel butter in fabric form, buy this thermal.
My ideal look for lounging by the fire.
Dolce Vita
Rodni Plush Ballet Flats
Plush Mary Janes just make sense for this time of year. I love the warmth and texture they add to an outfit.
Eileen Fisher
Lightweight Boiled Wool Icon Coat in Regenerative Wool
This was the first coat that Eileen Fisher designed and it’s a quintessential fall staple. It’s made from 100% RWS-certified boiled wool with fiber that’s helping to restore depleted grassland in Argentina through regenerative farming practices (which we love).
Haven Well Within
Merino Cashmere Double-Zip Cardigan
I love a wool-cashmere blend for its warmth and comfort. This is one of those cardigans you’ll reach for time and again.
Eileen Fisher
Felted Wool Jersey Wide-Leg Long Pant in Regenerative Wool
Go ahead, treat yourself to the full Eileen Fisher set.
No autumn vacation is complete without a pair of plush socks.
Earth Shoes
Kolia Round Toe Slip-On Casual Heeled Mules
These are essentially slippers you can wear outdoors while you’re apple picking, wine tasting, or visiting a pumpkin patch.
ALIGNE
Moto Corduroy Jacket
Part one of your casual dinner look.
Levi’s®
Ribcage Full Length Jeans
These signature Levi’s are part two.
Earth Shoes
Gresa Waterproof Block Heel Round Toe Casual Booties
Part three? Footwear that’s cozy, but will still elevate your look.
Away
The Softside Carry-On
Ever since Away launched its Softside Collection, the carry-on has been my go-to for smaller trips. It’s lightweight enough to trek on the train with.
Madewell
Transport Early Weekender Woven Tote
Every trip needs a carryall bag. This one is mine.
Peace Out Skincare
Redness + Clarifying Mist
I always have a facial spray in tow when I’m on the go.
Summer Fridays
Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine
Summer Fridays’ new Hot Cocoa flavor is so good you’ll want to eat it.
Alex Michaelides
The Maidens
The thing about me is if I’m headed upstate, I will be reading a murder mystery for the majority of the weekend.
Glossier
Crème De You Dry-Touch Body Butter
Dry fall weather calls for a rich moisturizer that can stand up to the elements.
Le Labo
Travel Tube Fragrance Discovery Set
These rich, woody scents are so good that strangers will stop to ask what you’re wearing.
Another discounted page-turner you won’t regret packing.
Merit

This 2-in-1 moisturizer will bring the glow to your makeup look.
