On A Personal Note—A Fresh September
Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall. It never gets old, this quote. There’s something so refreshing about this time of year. The way the light changes. The shift of weather and the sudden tingle of chillier air. The excitement over cozy evenings, candles lit, chunky sweaters, comfort food, and autumnal adventures. Foggy windows in the morning and the golden swoop of colored leaves.
It’s more than I can bare! The excitement of it all! I’m feeling so inspired by this new season. I love how the fresh feeling of fall is firmly engrained into our lives, even as adults years out of school. As Joe Fox says, it makes you want to buy school supplies! Though I really did try to push summer vibes as long as I could, I just can’t help but feel completely ready for fall to take over. It’s my favorite for so many reasons, and I’m ready for all the cozy feels of the season. Even though it’s a hot 90 degrees in DC this week, it’s just around the corner and I’m anxiously awaiting its arrival.
There’s so much I want to do this season before it gets too cold and we’re once again hibernating at home. It’s that time of year where I crave some fall adventures and little weekend jaunts. Somewhere to take in the changing leaves, go pumpkin or apple picking, cuddle up by a fire. I’m excited to go on some little day trips with close girlfriends, do some more antique shopping, and enjoy autumn pleasures over the next couple of months.
I’m also so so so close to “finishing” apartment things. I use quotes because…is a home really ever finished? I’m waiting for my chandeliers to be rewired and will toss those up, and then am planning to shoot some real videos and take some photos of my home to share here and on Instagram. I’m excited about it! I also love my home this time of year. I moved in about one year ago and the light was so incredible in the fall. The way it changes throughout the day is dreamy. So it’s the perfect time to capture things.
I’ll also be hosting my annual autumn dinner with the ladies in the fam. A tradition that started a few years ago and I anxiously await each time the season rolls in. I’ll absolutely be sharing my tablescape again on Instagram and am hoping to get back into some floral arranging too! I miss putting together my little videos and sharing my random creative happenings with you all. There’s nothing that fills me up more than decorating and entertaining. Having my home filled with friends and family is so fun for me and makes my heart happy! So definitely planning to do more entertaining as all our summer vacations come to an end and we’re traveling a little less and soaking up more time at home, settling in for a cooler season.
This time of year just inspires me so much sartorially, interior-wise… in all areas of my life. I find myself suddenly churning out blog posts and gathering ideas like crazy. So I hope you’ll stick around to enjoy some new content. I’ll also be updating all my shop pages and adding in my new fall closet shop, which I’m so excited about. I’ve scooped up several new pieces for the cooler months and I know you’ll appreciate a classic, timeless approach to warm-weather staples.
Autumn will be filled with halloween and autumn decor, candles every single night, and cozy wears, new coats and shoes, golden light, and all the nostalgic, warm feelings of the season. And I certainly plan to bring that into this space as well. You better believe I’ll be taking this weekend to decorate and bring in all the fall vibes! I’ve waited long enough. So, cheers to a new season!
