It’s officially that time of year when I want to buy everything cozy. Cute fall mules, warm candles, cozy lounge sets and pretty fall decor are all starting to fill my Amazon cart.
Today I’m sharing 10 things that are currently on my fall wish list and in my Amazon cart. Be sure to click the numbers below for links 🙂
It’s no secret that fall is my favorite. There’s something special about September, kicking off the -BER months and the upcoming cozy season. I’m sharing a list of things to do in September to kick off the upcoming -Ber months.
1.) Have one final pool party and BBQ to close out the summer.
2.) Give your leggings a refresh. Fall is for leggings and all the cozy cardigans. And if you’re like me, it’s probably time to replace your leggings if you wear them to death. These are my favorite leggings.
3.) Go visit a local sunflower farm. And if you are local to the Capital District/Upstate New York area, I’ve rounded up some local sunflower farms.
4.) Make a simmer pot to make your home smell amazing. This one is my favorite for fall. But I also love this one too, especially around the holidays.
5.) Get your porch decorated for fall with all the pumpkins and mums. You can shop my past year’s porch decor and get inspiration here.
6.) Curl up on the couch with a blanket and watch some fall movies. These are some of my favorites for this time of year.
7.) Go apple picking then go home and whip up some yummy recipes with apples. Try my banana split apple nachos, or my apple and brie flatbread with hot honey.
8.) Dry your hydrangeas. Enjoy the beauty of these blooms all year. Here are my tips on how to dry your hydrangeas.
9.) Start transitioning to comforting soups. From crockpot butternut squash to a hearty spinach tomato tortellini, and a medicine ball chicken noodle. Here are some of the best soup recipes for soup season.
10.) Go on a hike and admire the fall foliage.
10.) Be basic and indulge in a PSL. Or make your own at home. Try my pumpkin cold foam iced coffee. Linking the recipe here. Or my healthier version of a pumpkin spice latte.
11.) Do some fall reading. Whether it’s a thriller that you will have you at the edge of your seat or a feel good book you crave, check out this list of fall reads.
12.) Create the ultimate fall playlist. Think like Phoebe Bridges, Lana Del Rey, Noah Kahan. You can listen to my fall feels playlist on Spotify here.
13.) Get your cozy sweaters ready. Sweata weatha is my absolute favorite. And these are some of the best sweaters for sweater weather.
14.) Watch some football! Head to your neighborhood high school to cheer on the home team, or just get a bunch of friends together to watch from home. And if you’re not into football, you can still take part for the food, or if you’re like me, Taylor. Be sure to make my baked dill pickle ranch chips!
Creating a warm and welcoming front porch and decorating for fall is one of my favorite things. So in the spirit of fall, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite wreaths, and staple fall front door decor from Amazon. I think starting with a basic welcome mat, some faux plants and an eye catching wreath is key and then you can fill in with more pumpkins and gourds as the season goes on. Scroll down to see my Amazon Fall Front Door Decor Picks and click the links to shop.
(Side note – I own these and love!!!)
I always start by gathering things I already have at home and taking an inventory first. I will usually see from there if I can come up with a coordinating color palette.
I started with white every day dishware and brown woven placemats that I had. I layered it on top of these beautiful blue chargers I got from Amazon.
I had the brown linen napkins already. I knew that I was going to add my gold candlesticks to the table so I decided to complement them with some gold napkin rings. I found these gold metal leaf rings on Amazon as well.
I love to decorate using amber and teal glass bottles so I decided to use those to create a centerpiece. To add a seasonal pop of color I filled the bottles with faux leaves in rich orange hues.
Now you could most certainly add a table runner if you wanted to. I liked how it looked without.
When setting my tables for every day I don’t set with flatware just because it’s less for the kids to play with and get their hands on. If you’re having guests over, I would choose a beautiful gold flatware.
