Cozy Up

One of my hands-down favorite things about the fall season is the opportunity to wrap up in a cozy scarf.  From the texture to the pattern and color to blend, I love scarves! My mild obsession with the oh-so-comfy accessory developed while on a trip to Europe with three of my best friends in high school. It only took about 20 minutes on British soil for me to make my first purchase, and the purchases continued as we traveled around northern Europe for the following three weeks. Since then buying scarves, especially while traveling, has become a bit of a tradition for me...I can't wait to see what I find in Qatar!

Farewell October

On this last day of October I thought I'd share this lovely quote from one of my favorite series. It's one of those quotes that never fails to put a smile on my face and make me think about how wonderful life is. So, go out there and enjoy this last (and oh-so-spooky) day of October!

Autumn Inspiration

As I've mentioned before, fall is my favorite season!  How could you not love a time filled with so many wonderful sights, tastes, and smells?? I find that in the fall I'm especially inspired by my surroundings and lovely images of the season, so today I'm sharing glimpses of things that set me in the mood to celebrate this beautiful  time of year. Enjoy!

In case those lovely images weren't enough inspiration, here's a charming little list of things to do this fall...

Fall is in the Air

Remember my love for beautiful outdoor events? Well, I ran across this image last night and decided that it captures fall so well that I had to share it!

Today would be the perfect day to host a charming outdoor autumn meal. The sun is shining and the first crisp hint of fall is in the air! All that's needed to complete this day is a warm mug of apple cider and a good book to curl up with! Have I told you all how much I love this season?!

So Long Summer...

The long Labor Day weekend is upon us, which means that it's time to say so long to summer...sigh. Wasn't it a good one? Mine was packed with friends, family, and amazing adventures!

Although I'm sad to see the warmer days start to dwindle away, I'm excited to welcome fall which happens to be my favorite season for a bunch of reasons including (but of course not limited to), fashion, college football, apple cider, carving pumpkins, and beautiful changing leaves!

What's are your favorite things about the fall season? Have a wonderful long weekend!
