It’s 100 degrees here in California but the leaves are also starting to fall.i’m planning to ignore the ridiculous weather and stubbornly move on to fall. I can’t wear sweaters just yet but I can break out the pumpkin and the spice!

I love fall. I love the deep browns and cozy fabrics. I love the warm styles while it’s still not cold. So please bring on the falling leaves and hot coffees. I’ll pack away my bright summer colors and embrace the warm and cozy.

My daughter is a English-riding equestrian in California who competes in jumpers. These are the brands she and the girls in her barn love. We look for fun styles that are not outrageously priced.

Changing up your kitchen towels is such an easy way to bring some happiness and whimsy to your space. They are one of my favorite things in my kitchen and I rotate them often. Sometimes I match them to the holiday. Sometimes I just want something pretty.

Advent calendars can feel chaotic. There is no standard time for them to be released but you need to jump on them when you see them or they will sell out.

I’ve never enjoyed collecting things that sit on a shelf, but practical things that can be fun? Perfect! These icon glasses have so many fun styles. I’m slowly swapping out my plane glasses for these.

I have a 7th grader and a 10th grader. These are things we have bought for fall. They aren’t tiny anymore, but they still need things. Water bottles are still high on the wish list, and no matter how big they get we never seem to have enough pencils.

Luxury make up is great, but it isn’t needed. The drug store has products that are just as nice.

School may be around the corner, but the hot weather is here to stay for a while yet. These are the things I’m loving this summer.

Equestrian clothes can be expensive and it’s hard which ones are the best. These are all things I have personally bought or have been recommended to me by real people.

The best stocking stuffers are fun, affordable, and elevate every day things. I like to include some beauty, some self care, some treats, and some things for the home. I don’t include very expensive things, but I try not to buy junk either. The key is to find small things they will either consume or use often. And please don’t forget mom’s stocking!

Every year one of my friends throws a favorite things party. People do these parties so many different ways, but she has pick gifts white elephant style.

As the weather cools off and the heaters turn on, my skin starts to get dry. At the same time my tan starts to fade and the days start to get shorter. I need my skin to be hydrated, plump, and glowy. This is what I’m loving for my over-40 skin as the season changes. This list contains affiliate links.

Christmas doesn’t always have to have an aesthetic. Sometimes you just need to buy the things that you think are pretty or that make you happy, and it all comes together. These are those things for me. Some people buy new decorations every year. I’m more of a buy it once and use it for years kind of person.

I love coffee. Hot coffee, cold coffee. Coffee in the morning, coffee after dinner. Good coffee, mediocre coffee. I’m not picky about my coffee (it’s all good) but I am very picky about what I drink it out of. These are the mugs that I either love or covet. This list contains affiliate links.
