Fall, Two Ways

In LA, the seasonal shift from summer to fall might be slight, but that doesn’t mean Californians don’t get the same back-to-school thrills pulling out cashmere sweaters and heavier down comforters as the air starts to get crisp and the days shorter. We checked in with designer Jenni Kayne, who on the eve of her first-ever home collection launch has been feeling equally nostalgic. In fact, the line, which reflects Kayne’s easygoing, minimalist aesthetic and includes textiles sourced from Peru and candles made right here in LA, is primed for cozying up and staying in.

Meanwhile, further up the coast in SF, where goop’s Britt Pattner lives with her husband Justin, temperatures may have hovered in the mid-60s all summer long, but that doesn’t stop them from heading back East to the Hamptons for a fall fix that includes apple picking and brisk morning beach walks. Below, Kayne and Pattner share how they get ready for sweater weather. (Hint, it has nothing to do with a pumpkin spice latte.)

  Ash Matte Glass Candle Jenni Kayne, $55 “I usually pull out my heavier throw alpaca blankets and pillows for a cozier feel in the living room and bedrooms. Lately, I’ve been burning our ‘Ash’ candle since it has a great woodsy scent.”
• Jenni kayne
  Alpaca Basket-Weave Pillow Jenni Kayne, $195
• “The cooler weather always inspires the most delicious meals. I love having friends over for dinner, or gathering at one of their homes to reconnect and relax in between the business of summer and the holidays.”
• KHAITE Margot Dress goop, $1,050 “This dress is so simple and stunning and I love the covered buttons along the side. Just add a cardigan for a night out.”
• ERIC BONNIN
  Kam Cup Jenni Kayne, $35
• ZEN BUNNI
  Canyon Coco Zen Bunni, $20 “Right now I’m loving tulsi rose tea with almond milk, Zen Bunni hot cocoa, and Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee.”

• JENNI KAYNE
  Merino Puffy
  Crewneck Sweater Jenni Kayne, $325 “I love the fuzzy texture and chunky collar of this crewneck sweater. It feels a little bit vintage.”
• “Our beloved mule in a rich, wine-colored velvet. It’s romantic but still easy to wear.”
• “Lentil meatballs are a favorite in my house. They sound super healthy—and they are—but they also have ricotta in them and a lemon pesto dipping sauce on the side that gives them a really satisfying, ‘comfort food’ feel. My kids love them.”
• RE/DONE
  High Rise
  Ankle Crop
  Jean goop, $305 “The high rise, cropped cut on these is so flattering. They’re part of my everyday fall uniform along with button-down shirts, flats, and cashmere.”

  Alpaca Basket-Weave Throw Jenni Kayne, $195 “There’s no shortage of throws in our house. This oversized alpaca one is just beautiful.”
• “My husband Justin is from New York and we like to go back to the Hamptons in the fall. The trees are full of apples, the restaurants are quieter (we love the Palm in East Hampton for its cozy fall vibes…and martinis), and the beaches are empty.”
• ROCHAS
  Landsbury Blazer goop, $1,520 “When it’s not cool enough yet for a coat, a blazer layered over a blouse or sweater is my go-to.”
• JENNI KAYNE
  Shearling Moroccan Slipper Jenni Kayne, $250 “Nothing is better than cozy slippers on a grey SF morning.”
• MARCH

  (Deborah Ehrlich
  Exclusive) goop, $450 “Pairs well with everything.”
• 
• LAURENCE DACADE
  Peter Boot goop, $868 “I turn to mid-calf boots in the fall for both form and function—pair them with a skirt, tucked into jeans, tights or no tights. It’s nice to dress up a bit after a laid-back summer.”
• BIDK Home
  MARBLE PLATE WITH BRASS INLAY goop, $42 “A pretty cheese board steps up any last-minute hostessing situation.”
• “This chicken sausage, bean, and veggie stew is the perfect Sunday night recipe because it involves lots of chopping. It’s the kind of dish that just gets better as the week goes on.”

• GOOP LABEL
  Nan Turtleneck
  Sweater goop, $595 “For work or weekend.”
• Kosas
  WEIGHTLESS LIP COLOR goop, $28 “In the fall I transition from lip balm to lipstick: This one doesn’t dry out your lips even when the temperature drops and the wind picks up.”
