October: Want, Need, MUST Have

My lovely sponsors are sharing their October must-haves (and I may have a little something that caught my eye thrown in there, too). What are you crushing on this month?

1. “I haven’t had ice cream (or apple pie, for that matter) since we’ve
been back in America. It’s not exactly paleo, but I may have to make an
exception for this sometime very, very soon. (From here, recipe here.)” {Me.}

2. “I’m yearning for a pair of good boots for the fall, since I’ve never really owned any. I want to
look stylish and be comfy! I pretty much love them.” {Chantal from Scattered Seashells}

3. “Like Jess, I just PCS-ed and I’m still getting my house in order, so
I’d have to say rugs. I’m basically obsessed with rugs. I want this one and this one, and I just bought this one. I can’t get enough!” {Natalie from Oven Love}

4. “It’s not October without baking my mom’s pumpkin bread! When the
temperatures begin cooling down and the leaves start falling, my husband
always asks if I can make a few loaves. The whole house fills with the
spicy scents of cinnamon and nutmeg. I think it’s best eaten while
wearing scarves and boots. (You can find the recipe here.) {Erika from Chabanachik}

5. “I’ve been reading a ton lately, so the one must-have is Allegiant by Veronica Roth. It’s the third and final book in the Divergent
trilogy, and I’ve been waiting for it to come out for months. I read
the first two books while I was on maternity leave and loved them. If you haven’t read them, they’re pretty similar to
The Hunger Games. They take place in a dystopian society in the future
where society is diveded into 5 factions, each based on a particular
trait. They’re crazy interesting and are being made into movies.  I
can’t wait to see what happens in the last book! {Jess from Being Mrs. Beer}

6. “If I could get my hands on just one thing right now, I
think it would be a Michael Michael Kors Hamilton East West Satchel. I
love how classic the style looks, and how roomy it is—we moms pack a
LOT in that thing! And really, my dream bag is ridiculous (An Hermes
Birkin bag!!)  but MK has my heart!” {Ashley from Raising Little DevilPups}
