EDITOR'S NOTE

This is my first fall living in Georgia, and because of that, I’ve learned to be extra patient while waiting for a chill in the air. But a girl can still dream of New England, so I have a couple of things sitting in my cart for when the chilly temperatures finally hit:

• This fluffy jacket from Ugg.

• A spicy fall candle that doesn’t have typical autumnal scents.

• Some paper pumpkin lanterns.

While we couldn’t get enough of the healthy relationship between Joanne and Noah in Nobody Wants This, we also adored Joanne’s personal style. So when we stumbled upon Flaire & Co. for their inexpensive, hypoallergenic jewelry — and figured out that we could recreate Joanne’s daily necklace stack for under $100, we 👏 were 👏 thrilled. Add to cart this paper clip-esque chain, thin herringbone necklace, beaded gold chain, and dainty initial necklace to get the look.
