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.

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!

Viva Terra

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.

Ingredient Spotlight: Apples

 

When it comes to seasonal ingredients, Autumn's apples win the prize. They are equally delicious served sweet or savory. This recipe roundup is picture proof that there are more ways to enjoy apples than just pie. But don't worry, scroll down for an awesome apple tart. Apples to apples, I think you will love this post.

Apple Cider Mojito 

Hello Fall! What a perfect September sip. Spiced, vibrant, and slightly sweet, it has all the flavors of a classic rum mojito plus a hefty pour of apple cider.

Sugar and Soul

Baked Brie With Apples & Bacon

I am not much of a cheese eater, but I find warm brie rather irresistible. It's gooey, rich, sweet and salty. Just perfect with a fall cocktail. This is a must make.

Restless Chipotle

Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake

Interesting recipe fact - this cake calls for olive oil and not butter for the fat. The oil delivers a smooth and rich flavor without weighing down the cake. The batter is poured over homemade caramel and apples. Sounds divine!

Adventures in Cooking

Salted Apple Pretzel Pie

This is a pie recipe for the salty sweet lovers. And who isn't one? Soft pretzel dough takes the place of crust. How unique!!

Epicurious

Arugula Apple, And Goats Cheese Flatbread

This recipe can be called "almost homemade." It calls for a store bought flatbread crust. The perfect thing to serve at your kitchen island for dinner guests.

Saucy Kitchen

Cinnamon Roll Apple Cobbler

The title says it all. This cobbler is actually made with refrigerated "cinnamon rolls." The recipe is easy, delicious, and perfectly spiced. It's equally good at breakfast or dessert.

Broma Bakery

Butternut, Apple, and Goat Cheese Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

How can something be so easy when it looks this fancy? An impressive dish for sure, even company worthy!

How Sweet Eats

Caramel Apple Tart

An apple pie without caramel is not worth eating to me. This beautiful tart consists of granulated sugar, water, sea salt, heavy cream, and butter.  That's it. Talk about a slice of heaven!

Miss Allie's Kitchen

Crock Pot Ginger Rum Apple Cider

This cocktail has tailgate written all over it. Keep the spiced rum on the side, so your guests have a boozy and non-alcoholic option. I can only imagine how yummy it smells.

Sugar and Soul

Apple, Caramelized Onion and Spinach Quesadilla
Now this is a game day snack if I ever saw one. It only takes 15 minutes of preparation. And doesn't caramelized onions make everything better?

The Modern Proper

Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts With Cinnamon Maple Glaze

To me, this is fall in a photo. Love that they are baked and not fried. Oh just Yum!

Half Baked Harvest

Pasta With Apples, Bacon, Sage & Chantrelle Mushrooms

Gluten & Dairy Free 

I may have mentioned that I never eat pasta. Too many carbs and I shy away from gluten. This recipe would change all that. Can't you just smell the bacon and sage?

Heather Christo

Baked Apple Bombs

Don't these just look like they are "the bomb?" The recipe author calls them the fireworks of fall! They are also easy and fun to whip up.

Zoya Cooper

Anyone have the courage to wear a green nail? Zoya's Cooper color actually is the perfect color to wear for cooler weather. If not this shade, you may want to check their products out. They are breathable and free of the ten nasty chemicals found in many polish brands.

A very unusual but healthy line of polishes. The colors are complex. This shade of green features a drop of drab with a bit of Jolie Laide. Interesting.

It's an opaque caramel camel. This just could be your fall wardrobe's bff.
