Thank you all so much for your kind words and comments on social media about my last post about our living room! I’m loving finishing projects in our house, and I love having projects to look forward to, but it’s also such a good feeling to be able to sit down in a room that feels “done”… until I redecorate for fall. Which I also LOVE.

Speaking of fall, I’m the girl who loves warm weather and sunshine all day, so fall is bittersweet for me. I like the cooler weather and let’s be honest, the clothing is wayyyyy comfier, cozier, and cuter than summer clothing. But I also hate the idea that winter is around the corner. Gray, cold, sad, winter. My therapist asked me to think of one good thing about winter because I hate it so much. I couldn’t think of one nice thing after the holidays. Not one. But I can get very excited about fall. Next week we’re heading to Bend, OR and Seattle, WA for an outdoorsy vacation, and I’m really hoping the leaves will be a rainbow of oranges and reds and yellows while we’re there. In Nashville, it’s still green and brown.

I’ve been holding out, but since fall officially starts on Monday, I think it’s time to let my basic bitch out and really dive into fall 110%. So this week’s Friday Favorites is all things fall!

1. I’ll just leave this here…
2. If y’all have been keeping up with my Instagram stories, you may remember me asking for recommendations for essential oils. I got some, and now I’m drooling over this amazing stone diffuser!
3. I love the entire Sarah Sherman Samuel x Lulu and Georgia rug collection, but this one is my favorite.
4. Doesn’t this Pendleton blanket make you want to have an autumn picnic a la Kiel James Patrick?
5. This dried flower fall wreath from Afloral.
6. They’re out of my size, which is sad, but I love this gold leopard inspired print sweater from Madewell.
7. Cheekwood is having their annual Harvest with mums, a house made of pumpkins, and a Halloween dog parade!
8. Speaking of which… what do we think about this costume for Hank?
9. I’m not into signs or pillows with catchy phrases on them, but give me all the faux pumpkins.
10. If you’re looking for a pumpkin patch around Nashville, check out Gentry’s Farm. It’s a working farm that’s been owned by the same family for 165 years, and their fall activities and pumpkin patch can’t be beat!

Have a great weekend!
