Fall Fashion For Your Home

 

Fall is certainly the best season for fashion. Most of us can't wait for sweater weather and a new pair of boots. It's also a good time to dress your home in the shades of the season and with terrific textures. Settle into September with decor and more that is oh so cozy chic.

Tweed Emphasize Throw

The easiest seasonal update to your home is a few new pillows and a tweed throw. This one features a nod to mid-century style. You may or may not know that every room should have a touch of black to anchor the space.

CB2

MacKenzie-Childs Pumpkins

A chic check is always in style no matter what the season.  You will find these porcelain pumpkins at

Neiman Marcus    and   MacKenzie Childs

Faux Pampas Grass

When your garden roses fade, bring in the look of autumn with pampas grass. These stylish stems add some seasonal style, texture, and drama to

 your home.

Crate and Barrel

Scented Candles

When it comes to scenting your home for fall, there are many choices. Few do it as well as Nest New York. For me the candle container is as important as the scent. This pretty pair will add a big dose of fall flair in your space. Shown here are Moroccan Amber and Pumpkin Chai.

Nest New York

Velvet Pillows

I love the way Widell & Boschetti layered  patterns and colors of these velvet throw pillows. It's a very cozy look that is still luxe.

Alchemy Fine Home

Wave Tabletop Fire Bowl
Fire has such a calming effect. Set the mood while you set the table (indoors or out) with this unique fire element. It uses non toxic gel fuel. Love it!

Olivewood Serving Board

I was just at Adaline Restaurant in Chicago (excellent by the way), and they served dessert pastries on a wooden tray. We all loved the idea at the table.  These are just gorgeous. Available in three sizes.

Shop Terrain

Pelosa Sheepskin Ottoman

This piece has warm and fuzzy written all over it. Two of them are perfect at the end of a bed. Or use it as a place to perch your feet anywhere in your space. It's fab!

Blushing Garden Wreath

Consider using something marvelous in metal this season. These flowers will never fade or dry out.

 Welcome to the last weekend of Summer. It's also my BFF, Mollie's, birthday. Sending love and wishes her way. How will you be spending these precious days? I hope that you will enjoy beautiful weather, with lots of fun in the sun. Before you get started, here's some links for cooking, drinking, shopping, and saving.

Though I am still wearing white (gasp), Vogue tells us that brown is trending big for Fall. I am not a huge fan, but it is very sophisticated when paired with black. A few examples of good styles in brown are Everlane's Half Zip Sweater,  Bottega Veneta's Chain Leather Tote, and Staud Tuli's Ballerina Flats.
