There is nothing I love more than a warm house that smells like freshly baked goods when the weather outside is cool and crisp. Can’t you just imagine walking in the house, removing your cold boots and heavy coat, blowing on your hands to warm them up and then slowly lifting your head as the…
I am really not a fan of Halloween decor. I mean, every October I really try to get in the mood, and I occasionally decorate from year to year; but it’s just really not my thing and I end up taking it down as quickly as I put it up. It’s hard for black and…
It’s been a long time since I posted fashion photos. Contrary to what you may believe, I have still been getting dressed. And I do still love me some shopping and putting together outfits. But ever since we moved to a new place back in April, I realized I haven’t taken the time to snap…
Last year I decided my mantel needed some sprucing up, so I took about 15 minutes to create a burlap banner using some simple burlap ribbon and twine. It hung over the fireplace during Thanksgiving and satisfied my need for something easy and fall-like. But this year, I decided it needed a little somethin’, somethin’…
Though I have fully embraced it now, in early September/October I was so enjoying the warmth of summer that I resisted the onset of fall for quite some time. I was loving the feeling of the sun on my skin and the ease of throwing on a simple dress and some sandals and heading out the door; so as the leaves started to turn and the temperature dropped, I began to pout.
But I think I’ve finally come full circle. This week I lit the fireplace for the first time since last winter, I made chili and lit a pumpkin pie scented candle, and suddenly all seemed right with the world. The crisp, cool air is growing on me and I think I’m finally ready to pack away the swimsuits and pull out the boots – and the fall decor.
As previously discussed here, sweaters in all shapes and sizes are a “must-do” for fall 2014. One of the biggest sweater trends I’m seeing lately are those with a southwestern edge – and I say, bring it.
If there’s one thing I love, it’s transitioning my summer dresses into fall by pairing them with big chunky sweaters, tights and boots. Southwestern, printed sweaters give you the perfect opportunity to do just that; because they pair so nicely with rugged boots and are an ideal topper for your favorite dress.
Much like the first snowfall, our first fall season in Colorado has me giddy. I’m making lots of soup, baking pumpkin treats, and turning the fireplace on almost nightly. Boots, mittens and scarves are actually necessities instead of accessories I don to make me feel like it’s fall, even though I am sweating up a storm in my get-up.
I guess it’s a mason jar kind of week since I just talked about making pumpkins and other Halloween decor from mason jar lids on Wednesday. So let’s just continue on with the theme and discuss painted mason jar pumpkins – the perfect craft to do with your child this Halloween/fall. Since Mia loves crafts…
So ever since I purchased some of those Ball vintage blue mason jars about 6 months ago, I’ve become obsessed with them. They are basically all we drink out of anymore, and I use them as vases and to store stuff and just to fill space when necessary because they always look good. But because…
