Fall In Place


This is what a cozy fall home looks like to me. Of course, it's the color. It also is the layers of texture, pattern and personality. Here's a few fall finds to add to your own home for a stylish seasonal vibe.

Sezane Throw Pillows
A sofa has no personality without a few throw pillows. Sezane's are elegant.

Velvet Pumpkins
Every year I include something from this Etsy shop. Not only are they lovely for your home, but they make wonderful little host gifts.


Tuli Candelabra
This sculpural candelabra will add texture and deminsion wherever you place it.  Soon most of our dinners at home will need candlelight, which I love.

new season.

Your Fall Nail Color
Every Fall I try a new color as my "go to" for manicures. Lucky for me neutrals never go out of style, but they are particularly in this autumn. Essie's newest shade, "Easily Suede," is a warm grey with taupe undertones. This is what I am trying for this weeks' mani.

Cozy At Home

{ Via }

Confession. I am a bit of a home body. The truth is, I never mind being home. My home is where my heart is. How about you? I enjoy the art of taking pleasure in ordinary everyday moments. Of course we can do that in our minds, but having some comforting material possessions, makes life at home even more joyful. So today let's get lost in the throws of comfort.

Fabulous Furs Throws
Thanks to my friend, Sara, this is how I stay cozy in my glass home. In fact, I have my dark brown "fur" on now. You would swear it was mink. My favorite feature is the velvet lining. So luxe and lovely! Other colors available.

Patricia Green Mt. Hood Slippers
First of all, I am not a slipper person, but my feet do get cold this time of year. For this edit, I looked at a good deal of slippers, and some were a bit more cute than these. However, nothing looked cozier. Just look at that fluffiness. And it has to be warm, as they are made from real shearling. Available in five colors, too.

Bubble Baths
This is my #1 way to get warm and cozy at home. A bubble bath cures all.

Inspired by Mother Nature, they use only high quality natural ingredients like essential oils and herbs.  And the bottles and packaging are so very pretty.
