Kathy’s October Favorite #2: Crepe Knits from Scanlan Theodore
Regular Kuotes readers know that, after home design, fashion is one of my favorite creative mediums! I love to seek out brands doing new and unexpected things with clothing, and also with a commitment to quality and craft. Enter Scanlan Theodore, a recent favorite of mine, especially for fall looks!It's a message that really resonates with me as someone in the luxury design and retail world—an emphasis on excellent design and pieces that are made to be heirlooms and stand the test of time is vital on so many levels! Below is a sampling of their pieces I've really been obsessed with lately from their signature Crepe Knits line."The Scanlan Theodore brand ethos is all about defining 'a new genre of femininity by empowering women with intelligent, contemporary, and timeless designs that cultivate modern elegance and independent spirit.'"

Kathy’s October Favorite #3: A Sophisticated Take on #SpookySeason
There's no denying it: #SpookySeason is upon us (can you just smell the Pumpkin Spice everything in the air). Anyone who knows me well is acutely aware of the fact that Halloween is...not my favorite holiday (I know, and this coming from me, an October Baby)! That said, my kids have gradually drawn me out of my Halloween-Grinch shell and I have come to embrace some sophisticated seasonal looks.
Below are some photos from my home to show you how you can enjoy some Halloween fun that's a bit more haute than haunted."I like to think of my personal approach to Halloween decor as more enchanted than eerie—I like to cultivate a bewitched apothecary feel with candles, curated curiosities, dried flowers, intriguing antiques, and maybe a mini pumpkin (or two)."

Kathy’s October Favorite #4:
Who among us hasn't been guilty of overthinking—whether at work, in relationships, or in just simply living our lives? I certainly have! My book pick for this month—Soundtracks—is all about controlling the "soundtracks" (aka, our thoughts and inner monologues) in order to make smarter, more confident decisions.I love this book because it taught me knew ways to think about my own decision-making habits and reframe how organize my own thoughts! It's a must for everyone from busy entrepreneurs to busy parents (and, if you're like me, both!)."Best-selling author Jon Acuff explains that, when we don't control our thoughts, they control us; by harnessing the "soundtracks" in our heads, our "overthinking" can become an asset that we can wield to our advantage, rather than a hinderance."
