October 2024 in NYC

I am sitting here in disbelief that it is already October—I mean, this is one of my favorite months, but is it just me, or did September just whiz by without any warning? The sudden arrival of October caught me off guard, yet I am embracing it wholeheartedly. There is something truly magical about October in New York City. One of my favorite rituals that keeps me grounded during this time is treating myself to fresh, seasonal flowers each week.

As the temperatures drop and the leaves turn golden, I find myself drawn to the warm hues of dahlias, chrysanthemums, and marigolds. There is a small flower stand just a few blocks from my place that always seems to have the perfect autumn blooms. Bringing home a vibrant bouquet and arranging it in my favorite vase fills my space with a bit of nature’s beauty, reminding me of how special this season truly is. It is these small moments that make autumn in the city so enchanting—finding beauty in the every day, even amidst the hustle and bustle.
