I'm all Decorated for Fall!

Fall is my absolute favorite season and I love decorating for it, almost as much as I do for Christmas!
This year, I added a few new pieces to my decor, to go with some of the decorations I've had for years.  Here are a few pictures of my fall decor!







This handmade pumpkin was my mom's and I've acquired it.  I decorate with it every year. ;)



This gray and mint table is in my foyer and I loved the way that it was already decorated.  The framed picture is of various antique Swedish calling cards from the early 1900s.  It was my great uncle's and my grandparents gave it to me when we moved into our house.  The Tiffany lamp was my grandmother's who passed away this past April and I feel like the lamp and the calling card picture were made to go together.  I simply added small pumpkins in my mint bowl, on the bottom of the table to give this area somewhat of a "fall" look.  





This antique tea cart was my great aunt's and I was so excited to use it in my dining room!  


The flower arrangement was on my dining room table, but I love how it looks on the tea cart!





This little Autumn Greetings sign came from the Dollar Tree for only $1!  I thought it was super cute and it's hanging on my China Cabinet.  





This gorgeous pumpkin came from TJ Maxx this year. 








Marshalls had these cornucopias for only $1.99 this year!  Needless to say, between my mom and I, we bought them all!






These antique milk glass vases were also my grandmother's.  To decorate for fall, I put Spanish moss inside, and put one of these cute gold pumpkins on top of each vase. 






My dining room






I found these placemats this year for my kitchen table and they are the exact same pattern that my dining room table runner is!  Of course, I had to have them! 











My mom bought this copper 3 tier stand for me a few years ago and it has been perfect for parties, decorating, etc!  I simply wrapped a fall garland around it and tucked in these ceramic pumpkins on each level.  











Nothing says fall to me more than plaid and pumpkins.  I loved this Isaac Mizrahi white and gray plaid throw that I found at TJ Maxx.  I thought it was a great way to transition the couch into fall and winter.





My husband actually picked out these glass pumpkins at Costco for us!  





Meet Amy the cute Halloween Witch.  Mom bought her for me several years ago and she's been one of my favorite Halloween decorations since!

09.09.16 Friday Favorites

Happy Friday ya'll!  Here's a list of the things this week that caught my eye and made me swoon.





1. Gucci Marmont bag


I get emails from Gucci often, but this email totally caught my eye, with this bright pink beauty!  How cute is this little bag?  I love the color and the gold accents!  






2. Rae Dunn mugs


These cuties have been all over Instagram lately and I've even seen them at my local Marshalls.  Evidently, they now have almost a cult following and are hard to find!  I'm on a mission to acquire a couple of these simple, yet beautiful mugs in the near future!







3.  Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment

Nothing makes me feel more girly than doing a face mask.  Am I right?!  I remember growing up, having slumber parties, and always doing a face mask with my girl friends.  Now, if I could just talk my husband into doing that with me...  ;)   Last week, while I was at Sephora, I used my Beauty Insider points to score a small bottle of this wonderfulness!  It's amazing!  You can see everything coming to the surface of your pores!  Try it out!  You'll love it!







4.  Pamela J. Bates Painting

I've been following Pamela J. Bates for a while now on Instagram and I've fallen in love with all of her oceany blue paintings!  Then, I saw this one... OMG!  Beautiful use of color and just the perfect amount of abstract.  I LOVE it!  Not to mention, its for a great cause.  She created this painting to be auctioned off for a boy who has brain cancer, and his family.  Check out the Instagram account @brushstrokeforbraydon for more information.  




5.  Zac Posen Dress

So, let me tell you, this dress is everything... I VERY rarely have a need to dress up quite like this, but if I did, I would need this dress.  This color is gorgeous and this cut screams, "I am totally rocking this on the red carpet."  I wonder if this would be a tad much for a cruise ship dinner?  hmm...  One can dream!







 6.  Panthers Necklace on Etsy

I know I might be a little biased on this next favorite thing, but I do love this Panthers color tassel necklace on my Etsy shop!  We are now in full swing of football season and it would be the perfect tailgating accessory!  For the month of September, all of my team colors necklaces will be $5 off ($35 each).
