My favorite things for this fall month.
Candy Corn– I know some people find it sickeningly sweet, but those people are wrong. I love candy corn. To the point that I only allow myself to eat it during October. This requires some restraint as candy corn starts hitting the shelves in August. Little mellowcreme pumpkins are a secondary treat.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins– they already have their own post, so I won’t say any more except, if you haven’t tried them yet, what are you waiting for?
Denim Jacket– I rely on this piece more than any other to layer, particularly in the fall. Yesterday, I wore a sleeveless black dress with tights and boots (it was 71 degrees) and my jacket made me look like I knew what season it was without making me sweat. It is also perfect in my office, where I almost always need a another layer.
Laser Hair Removal– bought this with a groupon in the summer to do my bikini line, just added my underarms today. TMI, I’m sure, but I never thought this would matter so much. It is fabulous! I feel almost nothing, and the technicians keep telling me I have a high pain tolerance (which is a bit of a joke in my family). Regardless, definitely worth it. Highly recommended. (spared you the image with this one.)
Noonday Collection Jewelry-I have a lot of this, and fall seems to be a great time to wear it because so much of it is earth-toned and muted.
I particularly love these earrings, which seem to go with almost anything,
this bracelet, and
this combo. From their site, this is their purpose: We partner with talented artisan entrepreneurs to make a difference in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

Together we’re building a flourishing world where children are cherished, women are empowered, people have jobs and we are connected.
Trays-I’ve embraced the tray. In my kitchen, I have two, one with my utensils, salt and pepper and olive oil on it, another for the coffee pot.
In my family room, I’ve utilized a boot tray from Target as a way to corral my décor. I’ve been loving it. I also have a small jewelry tray on my dresser.
Fall Color in Virginia– this is my second favorite time in this fair commonwealth- my first favorite being the colors of spring, as it means the light is coming! The only thing dampening my love for fall is knowing the dark is coming with winter.
