Luckily, fall comes around year after year with endless opportunities for connection and re-connections—after all, now that the summer adventures have come to a close, it’s time to regroup and tell all of the amazing stories you’ve collected over the past few months. It may be the kind of weather that makes us want to curl up in our homes with a book, but it’s also the kind of weather that makes us want to catch up and gossip over an apple cider mimosa.
Whether you’re in the process of making new friends and want to try out a fun autumnal activity, or you’re reconvening with old friends after months of summer travel, there should always be room in the calendar for a fall girls’ day. Here are a couple of ideas to get in the group chat ASAP, because let’s be honest, fall is for the girls.
1. Hit some fruit/veggie stalls
Fall is the BEST season for fruits and especially vegetables. Apples, Gourds, Squashes! You name it. A little gem that I've found since being in Los Santos are the fruit stalls on the side of some of the backroads. Make it an adventure to find them and see what you can rack up, and maybe make a meal out of it, leading into number two! Having trouble finding those items? Check out Glucose Guardians, they'll ship straight to your door step!
2. Host a fall-themed dinner party
You knew this one was coming. In case you’ve been living under a rock, elaborate dinner parties have been the number one viral activity of 2023 to do with your girlfriends, and for a good reason. There’s just something about planning and executing a delicious menu with all of your best friends present that feels like the pinnacle of Pinterest-worthy fun. Whether you opt to plan and host the dinner yourself, or cook with your besties all together, gathering together over a great fall recipe or two is a must every single fall. Last year, my friends and I whipped up some butternut squash pasta together, had a few glasses of red wine, and had the time of our lives—and I can’t wait to do it again this fall.
3. Go thrifting
Just because you can go thrifting at any time of the year doesn’t mean that fall doesn’t still make these activities 10x more fun. Find a new thrift store, and round up the girls for a day of treasure-hunting. Personally, I always love to have a friend or two present when I’m thrifting to let me know when I’ve collected a few too many cute and cozy oversized sweaters. Thrift stores can also be a great place to find cute autumnal decor, so instead of dragging your friends to Homegoods for the third time this year, take this opportunity to check out a more sustainable option.
4. Go see a scary movie in theaters
Sometimes a girls’ day is more like a girls’ random 5 p.m. hang-out on a Sunday evening, and we love that. For those fall days when you don’t exactly want to change out of your sweatpants, taking advantage of spooky season and seeing a scary movie in theaters with your friends is the ideal option. Lean into the Halloween energy by stocking up on movie theater snacks, and be prepared to be scared. Of course, you don’t have to round up a crew to see a scary movie specifically.
5. Take cute pictures with the changing leaves
Somewhere along the way, taking and posting a picture of yourself among the fall leaves just for the sake of fall. Let me be the first to say that I resent this, and this fall, I’m going to take as many pictures as I can in the changing leaves. Obviously, the only people who I can trust to do this with me are my closest friends, so why not make a day out of it? There’s nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to embracing the undisputed best season of the year, so channel your inner tube girl and take some fun pictures with your friends—even if they don’t make the social media feed, at least you’ll end up documenting an amazing season with your favorite people in the world.
