Stylish Fall Décor Inspiration

Image by Magnificent Mayhem

Taking my son on a walk to our neighborhood playground, the first bite of Autumn's crisp cool air grazed my  cheeks and looking around it finally starting hitting me -- Fall is definitely in the air.
I enjoy the warmer months but I have to admit, I LOVE Fall! It's my favourite season. What's not to love about it? Warm bevvies by a fireplace, fuzzy blankets, the beautiful colours of the changing leaves, abundance of fresh apples waiting to be picked and eaten, Fall Fashion and of course Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Being an interior design enthusiast, you can always tell what season it is just by looking at the decor inside and outside of my home. With the changes of the season, comes the transition in style pieces. It's easy to change up your home's seasonal style by just changing up a few things and adding some key seasonal ornaments instead of changing anything major.
Pillow covers, throw blankets, flowers/branches in vases, candles (colour and scent of candles) are just some examples of items in the home that can be changed to accommodate the change.
So what am I loving this year for Fall Home Décor?

I know it's part of fashion, but it's also super cool to incorporate into your Fall décor: Ombré!  
I am loving these ideas! (Although they do sort of remind me of candy corn. But that's OK right?)

Check out this collage of my absolute favourite 2013 Fall Décor.

I am loving white pumpkins (a favourite since last year); burlap is always the perfect fall decor addition; candles add an instant warmth - perfect for Fall (get them in fall colours scented with vanilla, cinnamon and pumpkin!) and I really admire large lanterns in different sizes filled with small pumpkins and candles.

Fall Yumminess: Dessert Ideas

I love fall, I know I've already told you. Everyday as the weather gets colder, I get happier. A lot of the food blogs and websites I look at are just filling up with fall recipes and ideas; so I thought I would share a few with you.  From a couple of my two favorite blogs, I found absolutely delicious looking and sounding apple cakes perfect for fall. Give them a try; let me know how they turn out.

Here we have an "Easy Apple Cake" from Bakerella. She's absolutely wonderful if you haven't looked at her blog before. Cake pops were kind of her invention and they're huge now. She was on Martha Stewart, and people are using cake pops and brownie pops and cheesecake and cake balls and they're just such a great idea.  This apple cake will be my next endeavor. And it's easy!

From the kitchen of honey and jam; a carmel cake with apple filling. Yum right? This one doesn't look quite as easy. Since there are three parts; the cake, the filling, and the frosting; it make take a little more time, but I still think it's worth trying. I might try this at Thanksgiving. 

Bon appetit!
