Maybe not home specific, but in the summer I have to pack all my winter/autumn clothes away, so as it gets colder I set all my boots and scarves out on their hooks and shelves and put my sweaters back into my closet!! Really brings the cozy vibe even if just in the little details

love this question! fall is one of my favorite times of year! 🧡🍂

i love decorating with lots of natural elements like acorns in little bowls or pinecones, using my leaf press to preserve fallen leaves for crafting, decorating, scrapbook pages, etc., making soups (zucchini or pumpkin!!) and wearing all my sweaters and cute jeans! (personally all my cute clothes are geared toward cooler weather)

what is your favorite shade of autumn leaves? 🍁

Smells! Definitely switch them over to fall (but not wintery) and I pile up the blankets everywhere. I drink more tea during the daytime and always before bed, and keep the lights dim or off completely at nighttime if I'm watching a movie 🤎

Switching out summer household textiles (curtains, pillowcases, etc) for heavier weights, cozier textures and/or moodier colors. And of of course, candles!

What a first edition! 🍂 I love how you’ve captured the in-between mood of seasons with colors, playlists, and cozy little rituals. The quotes + puzzles + NYC recs combo feels like flipping through an actual magazine. Can’t wait to see this become a Monday ritual.

Loved your playlist but I fear it's missing THE fall song - Linger by The Cranberries! I actually first discovered the song watching You've got mail so finding the movie breadcrumbs made this such a fun read :)

Don't you worry! "Linger" is in the Fall playlist! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6X871c1ziRama6P7SfZEaK?si=syHze1HzRAK6OLo1MLVkLQ

What an amazing fall film! :)

OBSESSED. I knew this was going to be amazing, but it exceeded all expectations. My most beloved colors right now are those SAME TWO and I've been all over depop collecting blue cardigans as of late 🩵🩵

I love Pinterest and sometimes get nostalgic for Tumblr. I love the idea of drawing quotes because usually for me they just collect dust in a Pinterest board. I've recently started moving them to my Notes app though.

Looking forward to reading about the adventures of Genevieve & Rose 😂
