How We: Do Fall Edition



So....I was just starting to feel in the fall mood this past weekend...yesterday I kept thinking I need to do a fall post soon...and then I remembered it was time for Erika and Shay's fun linkup so perfect timing!  Linking up with them HERE


and I am also linking up with Emily and her Crew for Fall Fashion Faves HERE

Ok I guess I am in the spirit so here goes nothing ;)


Fall Decor


My favorite thing about our fall decor are the planters on our front steps.  I originally go the idea on Pinterest (where else) and have been doing this since the first Fall we moved into our home (so 7 years).  I put large pumpkins in them and then surround them with white hydrangeas and greenery.  They look even more festive when the hydrangeas dry out a bit.  We also put extra pumpkins and mums on the steps around them




I also add pumpkins, a purple cabbage and a festive bow to our mailbox along with a cornstalk...I think it screams "Welcome Fall"...I know just go with it




Inside, it is all about the Yankee Candles of the season- Spiced Pumpkin, Sugared Pumpkin, and Pumpkin Marshmallow...Just want to sink into a blanket and smell these forever



Then in early October, I add the Halloween decorations....we all need a little spookiness.  Last year's edition was "The Window Tapper" and man does that scare everyone (especially Eva and me!) :) 




Fall Fashion

 So I have said it once and I will say it always- fall is the best season for fashion- do you agree?  Outside of not being Lilly's best season, I love the accessories and layers that the season brings.

Scarfs




Camo jackets and vests




Leopard anything...especially ballet flats



Plaid


 
Fall Food


Oh and there is nothing like a warm, homemade meal on a cold fall night.  Am I right?  Some of our favorite fall recipes include


Autumn Chicken and Squash Risotto
 HERE




Pumpkin and Sausage Ravioli
 HERE



Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup
 HERE



 In addition to all of these fall festivity must haves, we partake in various pumpkin festivals and spookiness but I will save that for another upcoming post!


How about you?  How do you do Fall?
