18 Things Our Editors Can’t Stop Obsessing Over

The arrival in October feels like an invitation to taste. This is a transition to a cool evening, a golden light, and a routine that makes me feel grounded. I had a few friends on a casual pasta night last weekend, and it reminded me of what I love most of the season. We placed a large amount of food on the table and everyone poured a glass of wine. And we sat on the patio for hours and talked as the plates were clean. That was exactly what I needed: simple, cozy and full of connections.

That’s the spirit I want to bring in in October. Even dinners where no one is in a hurry, the conversation is as meandering as the meal. For me, these little rituals make autumn feel so special.

Within the same energy, our editors shared the top pick in October 2025. Think of it as your monthly dose of fresh inspiration to embrace the season and create space for the most important things (and people).

Chider

I was not a PSL girl. That’s always too sweet for me. I want to save pumpkin’s obsession with baked goods. What about my autumn drink? Chaider, a blend of Chaider, Chaider and Apple Cider, has gotten hot. It’s simple, comforting, and has a comfortable balance between spice and the atmosphere. Most days I have a 1:1 mix of store-bought cider and chai concentrate (my local Portland shop makes great things, but I also love it Chaibox version). And if I feel generous, I will whisk a splash of cream until it foams. When I want to level things out, Molly Buzz’s recipes It’s my go-to for a higher take. – Isabel Eyman, editorial strategist

Warby Parker Whalen Eyeglasses by Acorn Tortoise

Warby Parker has changed my view (literally) about the world of optometry. The era of expensive, long, expensive frames is gone.
