Fall Fashion

I try not to over consume but I do like to get one or two new pieces each season to refresh my wardrobe. I like to make sure they are stables I'll keep in my closet forever and these are some of my favorite finds for this year.

I know red was the it color last year and what I think I'm seeing is a deeper red or Burgundy is the color this year BUT I still think this bright red is amazing (and I don't wear a lot of color) but it works well for Fall and will work in the holida...

A good laying piece and it doesn't break the bank. I think finding pieces that fit your budget that are on trend AND classic is always a great idea and worth having in your closet.

I have to admit this photo is AWFUL, I need to upload one of myself wearing these. I got them in black and white! They literally feel and maybe are sweatpants but they look expensive and look so dressy! I love love love these.

I have these in black and now the deep forest green. I LOVE them. I wore them to the airport to fly to CA and they were amazing. I got the matching sweatshirt pullover and it looks like a really cute set. I can't recommend these enough.

This hoodie is so good for the Fall. Not too heavy but not lightweight. They sadly don't have the green anymore but you really can't go wrong with any of the colors.

I needed something other than a tennis shoe to slip on and go. These seemed great for Fall and I have worn them so much already. I didn't want to pay for the name brand version but these are just as good I have to say.

Local pumpkin patches (Carroll County, MD)

I know this won't be useful for everyone but if you are in the area (or close enough) these are my favorite places to take the family and go on our annual pumpkin patch hunt.

Hands down the best place to take the entire family. They have a huge play area for the kids, wagon rides to the pumpkin patch, flowers, gourds and a fanastic store with homegrown veggies and meats.

This might be the OG in Carroll County. This place has been around since I was a kid. Massive property, petting zoo, tractor rides, apple picking and a barn full of their own baked goods.

There are so many great spots in this park. There is even a driving area so you don't have to leave your car if you don't want to.

It's over 184.5 miles and rewards the viewer with views of the Potomac River and the Fall foliage. This is just so good in the Fall.

Wineries 🍷

Sometimes I feel like the winery outings don't get enough media attention as they should in the Fall months. This is a beautiful time of year to take a couple girlfriends or a day date one weekend and enjoy the beautiful fall foliage while sipping yo...

They have beautiful grounds and a great wine selection. My sister got married here in November and it was gorgeous.

I love this place. It's truly may favorite. They switch out their seating outside depending on the season. They've had tents, and picnic tables to igloos. It's so fun and they really execute everything to a T. It's beautiful and great wine!

Fall Festivals

Fall is a great time when its not too cold yet but we've broken away from the heat to get out and enjoy your community. There are so many great festivals, and small businesses that have fun Fall activities.

The annual Autumn Glory Festival is a five-day celebration of autumn that celebrates the beauty of the local fall foliage. It's farther away but perfect excuse to rent an airbnb and get up in the mountains for the weekend.

If you can't get away there is usually always something local. And supporting your local community is always a good idea. Great food, vendors and a family friendly activity.
