Colleen’s Cozy Corner: Why October Is the Month to Personalize
There’s something about October that invites us to slow down — to light a candle, grab a good book, and enjoy the first cool evenings of fall. For Colleen Waguespack, October is also the perfect time to think ahead for the holidays.
In this month’s Cozy Corner, Colleen shares her favorite fall reads, styling inspiration, and a timely tip for holiday preparation.
Cozy Season Essentials
As Colleen settles into her cozy corner, her must-haves are simple and elevated:
-
A handcrafted Fig & Dove throw blanket for warmth and texture.
-
A seasonal candle that fills the room with soft, welcoming scent.
-
A stack of fall reads — from design inspiration to her favorite classic novels.
“Your surroundings set the tone for your day,” Colleen says. “A cozy, beautiful space helps you slow down and enjoy the season.”
