I didn’t even realize it was October until yesterday was nearly over.  So to ring in the new month, I’m starting a new segment called Monthly Musts — a roundup of essential items to get you through the next page of your wall calendar.

For October, I’m coveting pieces that are rich in color and texture.  Fall is a lot colder than my little Arizonan mind imagined so I’ll be stocking up on light and thick-knit sweaters, printed pants, and cozy boots.
