OCTOBER MONTHLY PICKS
This October, we're welcoming the magic of fall with open arms, from intimate gatherings to exploring new local spots and far-flung destinations. We're getting lost in corn mazes and savouring the season's harvest at local farms — hello, pumpkin donuts!
With the cooler weather calling for cozy layers, we're reaching for our favourite clean fragrances to complement the warmth of scarves and sweaters as we embrace crisp autumn days.
When you pop by the shops, you'll catch us dancing to the HH Autumn Playlist, curated by Tara. It's a fun and playful soundtrack for fall, whether you're browsing our shelves or simply soaking up the autumn vibes.
