A MAN… did this?? 👻
Okay girly pops, I have to spill… the van is officially in FULL spooky season mode and I could cry at how magical it feels 🥹🧡
The night before October 1st, my partner surprised me by going out shopping and turning the van into my dream Halloween town — garlands of fall foliage wrapped around the top with twinkly orange lights, the coziest pumpkin + ghost throw pillows, spooky blankets, and little decor details tucked into every corner. It feels like my own personal autumn wonderland 🍁👻
This van has been my safe space for so long, and now it’s literally radiating cozy fall energy. Every time I step inside, I feel like I’m stepping into a warm hug (but make it Halloween chic ✨).
And spoiler alert: we’re kicking off the season with a road trip up to Virginia for Seven Stars Festival! 🍂🎶 It’s going to be so crisp and fall-y over there, and I already can’t wait to share all the cozy activities we get into. After that, we’re heading to Salem, MA (!!!) — I’ve been twice before, but this time I get to bring my fully decked-out fall van, which makes it extra special. Fun fact: my parents actually got married on Halloween, so this holiday has always held the sweetest place in my heart. 🖤✨
So if you’re into fall activities, cozy crafts, and van life adventures, make sure you’re following along because I’ll be sharing all the magic — from pumpkin-y road trip vibes to Salem memories. Also, if you’ve ever been to Virginia or Salem and have must-visit recs, drop them below so I can add them to the list!
I’m just so happy fall is finally here 🍁🧡 Are you excited for spooky season?? Where are you soaking in the crisp fall vibes this year?
