My Fall Faves

When I walked outside last night, and then again this morning, I felt a lovely hint of fall crispness in the air and it got me SUPER excited about the changing seasons! The cooler temp got me thinking about some of my favorite aspects of autumn…!

WHITE PUMPKINS

Last year, I was at a farmer’s market and came across a grand supply of mini white pumpkins, so I bought a bunch to use in decorating our dining room table. I loved how they looked, so I plan to do the exact same this year! 🙂

FALLISH CRAFT BEER

Some of my favorite craft beers are the fall flavored ones… And there is one brewery in particular that I have really come to love over the past couple of years: O’Fallon Brewery. They make amazing tasting refreshments such as Pumpkin Ale, Wheach (which is wheat/peach flavored and oh-so-delicious!), and Smoked Porter (which tastes like a fall evening in a bottle.) My fall go-to for several years now has been Bayou Teche’s Boucanee. Price and I describe it as football season in a bottle. It has a wonderful smoky flavor!! Even though I can’t personally enjoy any of these brews this year because of our little one on the way, just seeing them in the stores and buying them for others to enjoy makes me so happy! If you’re a craft beer lover, I bet you’ve already tried some of these! But if you haven’t, I highly recommend all four! 🙂

FIRES

There are few things in life I love more than letting Price build a fire then enjoying a great conversation or a good movie while sitting by that fire. When it gets a little bit cooler, you’ll probably find a fire going at our home almost every night of the week! We like to switch it up between indoor and outdoor. No discrimination here! This photo is a future dream of mine… How gorgeous are those firewood-filled shelves?!

When it’s daytime but I’m still craving the wonderful smell of a fire burning, I usually turn to one of these delicious fireside-scented candles… They are all incredible!!

FOOTBALL

Football is a staple of fall in the south. If we’re not at a Mississippi State football game on a fall Saturday, we’re watching college football on TV. And on Sundays and Mondays, Price is trying to keep up with what all is going on in the NFL (and trying to keep his fantasy football lineup up to date!) I’ll admit that I’m not the most avid sports fan, but I sure do love college football season and the fun festivities that go alongside football season!!

BOOTS

Boots are probably my favorite type of shoe ever. I love shooties, little booties, mid-calf boots, and tall boots! They all tickle my fancy! Once that temp gets just a few degrees lower, I’m pulling out the taller boots! And boy, does that get me excited! 🙂 During fall, I’m extra thankful for my sister-in-law’s shoe store, Arco Avenue! 😉 These babies I’m particularly excited about wearing…

HOT TEA

Although I love hot tea all year round, fall and winter seem to be the times of year I most enjoy it! And, surprisingly, the tea shelf in our kitchen is still pretty well organized (which you may remember reading about in this old post!) Organization makes things like tea fixing way more enjoyable 🙂

DRESSING UP

Ah, Halloween… That means costumes! Ever since I met Price, my costume game has been taken up a notch. Never have I ever met someone who loves dressing up as much as he does! (Back in college, he would go ALL. OUT. for any sort of party or swap where he got to dress like something ridiculous or crazy! And that’s one of the million reasons why I love him!) 😉

Last year, we were Bert and Mary Poppins for Halloween… It was such a blast!

And since last Halloween, we’ve been brainstorming about what we can be this year! Still haven’t landed on anything though… But I’ll keep y’all posted!
