Marjon’s top five tips for fallWords of wisdom on life and style from the expert advice giver and host of IGTV podcast @yourfavoriteauntieshow.1. Take stock of your goals“What do you want to achieve before the year is up? What have you accomplished so far? What do you want the next year to look like? Take the fall to assess what matters to you most, and start hammering away before 2023.”2. Start planning early“I know the holidays seem far off, but try to book your New Year’s Eve plans, like, now! You’ll thank me later.”3. Gather your community“We often want to hunker down and hibernate when it gets colder, but instead, plan a moment with your chosen family that feels cozy and warming.”4. Invest in fall style essentials“You want versatile pieces that are built to last, like a strong coat, great chunky sweaters, leather pants and a beautiful bag.” 5. Have a good time“Fall isn’t complete without a hot toddy…or two, or three.”
