Falling in Love with Fall

I adore fall. Being born and raised a south Florida girl, seasonal changes still seem to surprise me. I'll never forget my first Autumn in Birmingham after moving their for work after college. I was driving down this beautiful winding road and something started to fall on my car. I got nervous until I realized they were leaves! I'd never had leaves falling all around me before! Crazy I know, but true.

And don't even get me started on the clothes of fall! I detest being frigedly cold, but I love being comfortably cool. {it's a delicate balance} I love leggings, jackets, scarves, and BOOTS! Sigh....I do love boots.

It is also too perfect that we happen to live on Autumnwood Lane. I adore so much about this season, I decided I had to write about it. {and...this week marked the official beginng of fall!} So follow me on a journey through a few of my favorite things about delightful, magical Autumn.....

Decorations:

There are so many options for decorating this season... Here are a few I've added to my collection...

{Home made front door wreath: wicker base, leaf garland, yellow flowers, ta da!}

{I like to call this guy, Frankentooth ~note the tooth~}

{Three plastic leaves from Kirkland's, strung to our {ugly rental house} chandelier w/brown ribbon}

Clothes:

As clearly stated before, I love the clothes of fall. Here is just one thing I cannot wait to wear... My friend Kelly gave me this gorgeous infinity scarf. Bring on those chilly nights!

Candles:

A lit candle really makes a house feel like a home. Thanks to my sister in law Carrie discovering this, Walmart 3 wick candles are the best...and cheapest! Mulled Cider is my favorite scent. I also love candles that are just pretty and fun to look at...

Pumpkin patches:

Some of my favorite memories from dating Josh are our fun outdoor times...especially at a pumpkin patch. I can't wait to carve ours this year!

More details to come on each of these topics later... especially fall clothes and.... the beginning of holiday food! I've got a few recipes I can't wait to share... here's something to get you excited:

Till next time!
