In the Spirit

October is officially in the spirit! There’s a chill in the air, pumpkins on every porch, and just enough spooky season energy to make the month feel like an event. Between costume plans, fall festivals, and cozy plans that seem to multiply by the day, October never runs out of reasons to get out and enjoy it.

October's Got it All

Fall festival weekends, spooky season staples, and everything in between, every bit of October deserves to be done right. Whether you’re planning the perfect costume, chasing pumpkin patch photos, or just soaking up the last of the season, it’s all waiting for you in one place.

Halloween Headquarters

Whether you’re going all out or throwing something together last-minute, the perfect costume starts here. Head to Spirit Halloween for full costumes, accessories, and everything spooky in between, or DIY your own look with pieces from Hot Topic and Spencer Gifts. Getting the house ready, too? Stock up on household decor at JCPenney, and grab a costume for the little ones while you’re at it. However you’re celebrating this year, Southland Center has you covered from the porch to the costume.

Seasonal Sips & Bites

October’s flavors don’t hold back. Start your morning with a seasonal favorite from Hot Shot Coffee, and check out fall menus rolling out at Auntie Anne’s. Think pumpkin, apple, and spice showing up in everything from lattes to desserts. Grab a spooky-themed treat from Cinnabon, and gather the crew for dinner at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewery.

The Fall Refresh, Piece by Piece

This season’s all about a little more personality in the everyday: leopard print accents, statement earrings, chunky knits, and plaid in richer, deeper colorways than your usual fall rotation. Find leopard-print scarves and accessories at PANDORA, grab a pair of standout earrings or a layered necklace at Kay Jewelers, and stock up on plaid flannels and cozy knits at Buckle. Pairing a blazer with your favorite jeans is also an easy way to dress up a casual look without overthinking it.

Where to Shop

However you’re spending it, October is easy to fall in love with. Grab a costume, catch a festival, stock up on fall flavors, or cozy up the house for the season ahead…. Southland Center is the easiest place to check it all off. Whether you’re planning ahead or just soaking up the crisp weather, there’s always one more stop worth making. Come for one thing, stay for a few more.
