I love fall. It overtakes me with swells of creativity. If only the days were packed with limitless hours of craft time. *sigh* But I’ll take what I can get, jotting down ideas in the journal I affectionately titled “Someday.”
I’m really inspired by decorating this season. Maybe it’s because of Design Sponge’s amazing posts as of late. Seriously, check them out. And we can’t neglect the food. I think summer produce may be the only thing that competes with the happiness that the autumn bounty brings to our table. It’s the perfect primer for all that holiday food, making way for the kitchen to be the festive epicenter of the season.
I’m also a big lover of indie fashion, and a few big houses as well. I just love fall clothes – the layers and textures are such creative impetus, yet we’re not burdened by the need to bundle against the elements yet. Idee Geniale, ModCloth, …love, Meagan, Pretty Ditty, and Happy Together are some of my favorite places to go for inspiration. Style’s runway coverage is always fun to peruse for ideas, too.
In Charleston, the fall weather can’t be usurped as the best of the year. The mosquitoes ride the humidity on outta here and warm, dry breezes roll in, painting mammoth red suns to fill the evening skies. October and November are simply perfect at the beach. Honestly, even if the weather were less than desirable, how could you not love the beach when you go with such sweet souls as these?
