Growing up in Seattle, I was lucky enough to experience crisp, leaf-changing weather for a few beautiful weeks before—in true Pacific Northwestern fashion—we were all buried beneath a blanket of rain and the cold, heavy snowfall of midwinter. Those weeks of classic fall weather (the autumnal bliss I dreamed of after watching When Harry Met Sally… and Gilmore Girls) were what I looked forward to year-round, so I did what I could to squeeze every last bit of enjoyment from it while the seasonal clock kept ticking.

Fall has always signaled a new start for me, and one of the ways I got the most out of the season was by giving my wardrobe and beauty collection a complete refresh. Now that I’ve moved to New York (where Harry Burns and Sally Albright famously fell in love!) and will soon be experiencing my first East Coast fall, I can’t imagine a better time for another revamp as temperatures drop. Below, I’m sharing the best makeup, fragrance, haircare, and skincare products that I’ll be using to dive into this new season of my life and embrace the “Meg Ryan fall” of my dreams.
