What to Do and What to Pack: NYC in October
October is a great time to visit New York City. The weather is generally comfortable for spending a lot of time outside, and you can get away with fall layers rather than dealing with the heat of summer or the colder temperatures later in the year. It is also a month where the weather can change quite a bit, so packing for NYC in October is really about having a few layers that you can add or remove throughout the day. If you're planning a trip to New York in October, here's what I'd pack, what I'd wear and some of the things I'd make time for while you're there.
What to Wear to a Palm Springs Bachelorette: Desert‑Chic Style Guide (Featuring My ThredUp Picks)
After sharing the details of planning my Palm Springs bachelorette, I wanted to create a companion style guide for brides heading to the desert. Palm Springs has such a distinct vibe with equal parts retro glam, effortless resort wear, and sun‑soaked minimalism. Packing for it is honestly half the fun, so if you’re anything like me, choosing the outfits becomes part of the celebration itself.
I also wanted this guide to be budget‑friendly and sustainable, which is why I curated a style board on ThredUp. It’s the perfect place to find beautiful white pieces, designer resort wear, and unique items that feel special without the one‑time price tag. Bachelorette wardrobes can get expensive quickly, especially when many pieces are worn once, so shopping secondhand felt like a smart and intentional choice.
When people ask me the best time to visit Thailand, I always say: December to January, especially if you want a little bit of everything: crisp mornings in the north, sun-kissed beaches, and none of the worst of the monsoon. Over my four trips, I’ve come to see December and January as the sweet spot. In the north, it’s dry, cool (for Thai standards), and misty in places; on the islands, the seas are calm and visibility is excellent.
