Even though it’s not technically fall (we’ll have to wait until next Wednesday for that), we can’t help but crave full immersion into all of the traditions that go along with it. Read on for our weekend plans to celebrate autumn, and as always, we love to see our readers participate, so don’t forget to share your favorites with the hashtag #GG5things, and by tagging @glitterguide on Twitter and Instagram.

1. Start incorporating fall essentials into your wardrobe, like Meghan did with an on-trend suede skirt and pointy-toe flats.

2. Break out your recipe box (or Pinterest board) and make some autumn-esque meals. This fresh Fall Kale Salad with Crispy Chickpeas + Butternut Squash would be a great dish to try this weekend.
