It’s the first day of autumn! A time of hot chocolatey mornings, and toasty marshmallow evenings, and best of all, leaping into leaves!”

Winnie the Pooh

Like Pooh Bear, we love the fall! A season when the weather drops in degrees, we pull out our sweaters and sip on our favorite fall drinks.

Fall officially begins on Thursday, September 22nd this year and we wanted to share some of our fall favorites with you. Make the most of fall and all that comes with it: pumpkin patches, apple picking, crisp weather, sweaters, candles and cozy blankets.

With cooler temperatures, we all could use a cute and comfy jacket for our morning walks, hikes, coming back from exercise class or meeting a friend for lunch. We love this tugga jacket from Athleta. It is made from recycled polyester and is machine washable and dryable It feels like cozy sherpa and the color goes with everything.

We first found this candle at our local Whole Foods market and feel in love with it. These candles are hand poured with 100% American soy wax and are phthalate and toxin free handmade in Texas. They have many scents; however, this one has citrus, cinnamon powder and Macintosh apples with mid notes of blush rose, clove buds and crush greens on a base of raspberry jam, scarlet peach and sugared vanilla. If you don’t have a Whole Foods near you, you can order this off of Amazon, click here.

If you have a Keurig coffee machine and love pumpkin spice lattes, give this a try. You will be sure to save money by not going to Starbucks and get into the fall season. To add that something special to your latte, why not froth your milk. We love this frother. You can have a cold milk foam in 1 minute and creamy hot milk foam in 2-3 minutes with the frothing whisk.

If you LOVE anything white and gold, these

8oz gold tile mugs made from bone china and with wording on both sides are perfect for all those cozy fall drinks or that perfect Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte! If you’re looking for a cozy fall vibe, this is it and can be found at this link on Amazon. Grab one for a friend too. They make the perfect gift.
