Fall fashion is officially here, and I’m starting a brand-new series that I am SO excited about: my Fall Brand Spotlight! If you know me, you know I love finding new brands, putting together outfits, and figuring out which pieces are actually worth adding to my closet. So this series is basically going to combine all three. Throughout the fall, I’ll be getting a few pieces from different brands’ fall collections and styling, wearing, and reviewing them so you can see what I genuinely think is worth it—and what might be better left in the shopping cart. By the way, this all kicks off my official Fall Fashion series.

And this isn’t just going to live here on the blog! The Fall Brand Spotlight is going across all of my platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and, of course, right here on All About Austyn.com. But if you want to see ALL of the content from each brand, Instagram is definitely the place to be because that’s where I’ll be sharing the most! The Fall Fashion series will be a journey across all these channels.

First Up: Cider 🍎

To kick off the series, we’re starting with Cider!

I’ll be completely transparent: Cider is a collaboration, but that does not mean I’m going to tell you everything is amazing just because I received the pieces at no cost. My reviews are always based on my actual opinion, and I want this series to be a place where you can get a genuine idea of what I think before spending your money. And honestly? I have to say, I was IMPRESSED.

I received 12 pieces from Cider, and I can genuinely say I have never had a collaboration where I got that many items and didn’t have a single bad thing to complain about. Everything fit. Everything looked like the pictures. The quality was good. And most importantly… the outfits are SO good. Cider has that effortless, fashion-editorial kind of style that feels very Vogue meets NYC fall chic. Think elevated basics, cool silhouettes, effortless layering, and outfits that somehow look put together without looking like you tried too hard. This review is a highlight in my ongoing Fall Fashion series.

Basically, it’s giving “walking through NYC in the fall and accidentally looking like you belong in a fashion magazine.”

And you already KNOW I had way too much fun styling everything.

What’s Coming Next

This is only the beginning of my Cider coverage! I’ll be doing a full Cider Brand Spotlight once I get everything shot, where I’ll go even more in-depth on the pieces, the quality, the fit, my favorite looks, and what I think is actually worth adding to your fall wardrobe. In fact, the Fall Fashion series is just getting started, so stay tuned for more!

Plus, I have SO many fun videos, outfit posts, reels, TikToks, and YouTube content planned around this series.

My goal with the Fall Brand Spotlight is to make it easier for you to figure out which brands and pieces are actually worth your closet space this season—while obviously having a little fun with fashion along the way.

So get ready because this fall is about to be VERY fashionable. 🤎
