So I have this thing for white pumpkins

This season I've been drawn to a more neutral fall decor, specifically white pumpkins! I love how white pumpkins can make a space feel festive without dominating the room. I'm not the type of person who does a complete overhaul of my home decor each season, so a neutral palette suits me best.  Here's some of my favorite inspiration for white pumpkin decor...

5 Things I'm Loving for Fall

As much of a summer girl as I am, I have been so ready for fall! This pregnant lady can't hang with the intense heat here in South Carolina, so I am very thankful for weather in the mid-80s! I also am excited for cozy days of cooking + baking in the kitchen, fall clothes, and the upcoming holidays. Here are 5 things I'm loving for fall:

Essie nail polish in hues for fall. I love swapping out my hot pinks

and corals for these perfectly autumnal shades.

(clockwise from top: Ladylike, Mink Muffs, Recessionista, Chinchilly, In Stitches)

The Jones Market fall collection. So many good pieces! 

I had a hard time picking just one to order!

Fall candles from Twine & Cotton. I can't get enough of how perfect this scent is!

Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien. I pulled this from my stash because I wanted

something darker than my typical pinks without entering into the bold-red-lip territory.

You can see how this shade looks on me here.

 All the pumpkin baked goods. I can't be tempted by a PSL, but pumpkin

breads and muffins are another story. I'll be sharing the recipe for this pumpkin cake

with pumpkin cinnamon cream cheese frosting next week, so stay tuned!

There you have it, 5 random things I'm loving this season. What are some of your favorites for fall?

Apple Picking

Over the weekend we went apple picking! We typically go later in the fall, but we wanted to make sure we got Honeycrisp apples this year (the BEST), so we had to go a little early. We went up on a Sunday morning that was overcast, and there was hardly anyone there! It was a pleasant surprise, since the orchard we go to is typically so crowded you have to wait in line to get a parking spot, let alone the apple cider donuts. We did purchase said donuts before we made our way into the orchard. Madeleine did great in the Solly baby wrap and enjoyed looking all around. We came home with plenty of apples, and now I am excited for fall!

7 Ways to Decorate Pumpkins

I have loved all of the decorated pumpkins that I've seen floating around Pinterest and blogs lately. I'm not very good at carving pumpkins, and I don't even think they are all that pretty, so I really like these alternate ways to decorate pumpkins. Some of these are even simple enough for not-so-crafty me to attempt :) Have a great weekend!

Feeling Like Fall

Fall is undoubtedly my favorite season, and I have been thoroughly enjoying it this year.  The temperatures the past few weeks have dropped significantly in the morning (though by noon it's still been in the 70s-80s!), which makes leaving for work in the morning definitely feel like fall.  The leaves have been at their peak this past week, and I can't help but exclaim "look at those leaves!" like every time we drive by a tree.  I just can't get enough of all of the beauty that is fall.  I'm looking forward to another beautiful fall weekend - one that promises a homemade apple pie and a visit with my parents.  Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday + Fall!

The first day of fall is tomorrow!  Autumn is my favorite time of year:  I love the cool evenings, cozy sweaters, pumpkin baked goods, sweaters, and just that fresh feeling that seems to come with the change of season.  We're starting off the season by heading to the apple orchard tomorrow (so excited!), so I thought I would share the rest of my fall bucket list.  

1. Buy mums for the front porch

2. Pick apples

3. Go to a college football game

4. Buy a dutch oven and make lots of soups & stews

5. Carve a pumpkin

6. Find a new flannel shirt

7. Get some Joe Beans pumpkin spice coffee beans (my favorite for fall!)

8. Take the MG out for some pretty drives

What makes you excited for fall?
