5 FABULOUS FALL UPGRADES

Secrets out--I'm Fall Obsessed! I get so many questions about food, fashion, events, scents, and even skincare. I’m dishing out all the deets you need to ELYVATE your life this fall!

Add fabulous fall decor throughout your home

Classic fall color schemes, fall foliage, gourd shapes, warm scents and luxurious layers invite warmth, coziness and comfort into your home. Pillows, throws, window treatments, rugs, vases, etc are great pieces to upgrade this season. Limit or steer clear of decor with quotes and text. Keep a good balance of personality and style to maintain your home’s elegance and warmth.

Level up your fall hair color

I’m the Color Queen, so of course, I thought about hair! Warm up your hair color with a delicious balayage of warm blondes, caramels, cocoa browns, and earthy coppers. Kick it up to bold with deep plum, blackened reds and burgundy, or even a fun hunter green!

Fall up your wardrobe

Fall and fashion are one in the same! Layers, layers, layers keep you warm and spice up your ‘fit. Pair a knit top with a light blazer, loose denim, statement jewelry and peep toe shoes to add some fall flair!

Spice up your life with scents & seasonings!

I know what you’re thinking… scents and seasoning do not match, sis! Hear me out..

Vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg ginger, and anise are all spices used in both food and perfume! When cooking or heading out for a night on the town opt for scents and seasonings with these star players to keep it spicy this fall season!

Upgrade your curb appeal

Curb appeal helps increase your property value and your home’s wow factor! Spruce up your outdoor space these ideas:

Layered Rugs
Mix, match and layer a larger outdoor mat under a smaller one for a fun spicy pop of fall!
Try a coir or any other natural fiber rug on top a thinner outdoor patterned rug. If you are feeling extra spicy, mix 2 or more patterns and colors. Leopard and florals, orange with plaids, or even plums with greens are absolutely fire!

Gourds & Pumpkins
Fall is harvest time! The seasonal fruits and veggies offer fuller rounder shapes and rich autumnal color. These are not only great for cooking but also for decorating your outdoor space fo the season! Mix and match pumpkins and gourds in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and arrangements for the best results.

Flowers & Foliage
Begin by removing all annuals or perennials and replace them with foliage, plants and shrubs appropriate for the fall season. Mums, pansies, and ornamental kale plants add a sassy vibrant pop of color to your outdoor space.

Lanterns & Lighting
Lanterns, strings lights or even in ground light displays are a stunning way to add warmth, vibrancy, and elegance to your outdoor spaces. The options are endless!
