I've always loved decorating for fall and usually started the day after Labor Day (sometimes even on Labor Day itself!) I love looking for new decor pieces and picking something new to add to my collection. However, until now, I think my choice in decor was slightly immature. 

It makes sense though; I was only decorating my bedroom and now that I've moved into my own apartment and have a larger area to decorate, I'm leaning more into the sophisticated, expensive pieces that look more elevated and not so kitschy and childish. 

This year, Pottery Barn decor has caught my eye and I can't stop thinking about it. Every piece of decor they put out is so incredibly chic, it hurts my soul. It would fit seamlessly in with what I have in my apartment already, plus it feels incredibly cozy and warm. 

From pillows to outdoor Halloween decorations, everything feels like it stepped out of a Nancy Meyers movie. I haven't bought anything yet and I don't know if I will, but it's nice to window shop, isn't it? 

These are some of my favorite pieces from the Pottery Barn fall collection! 

This post was originally scheduled for yesterday but my days have been nuts! I thought I'd have more time to write Sunday and Monday but it just didn't happen.

Sunday afternoon/night I was in the city for dinner and a Billy Joel concert with my family (which was so fun) and then Monday I took off from work, but was out running around, getting my hair done, and just doing things other than sitting down to blog early in the AM.

Now, it's Monday afternoon and I'm finally at a place where I can focus on my writing. Meanwhile, I'm truly exhausted from the weekend and the concert. UGH.

The good news is it's finally October, my favorite month of the year. I am ready to really embrace the month and get myself on track.

That being said, I think it is a perfect time to break down all my favorite items related to Fall!



1. Fall Mugs: Etsy is my favorite place to find adorable Fall mugs and this year I scored the 'Hocus Pocus I Need Coffee to Focus' mug from SweetMintHandmade. She has the best mugs and I definitely need a few more. I also really want the Stars Hollow Mug from Chalk Full of Love because there is nothing more Fall than Stars Hollow.



2. Pumpkin Decor: I love all of my Fall decor, but this year I went BIG with pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. I found these adorable fabric pumpkins at Target and spread them all over my room. I also have some studded pumpkins from last year that look so gorgeous in any type of setting. You can do so much with fake (or real) pumpkins and really allow them to have a moment in your space.

3. Fall Beauty: There are few things I love more than a dark lipstick. I will be doing a full post on my current favorite Fall lippies but I feel like I need to mention them in this list. Kylie Cosmetics makes my favorite Fall lipsticks and she has been #1 for years now. There is something so chic about a dark, matte lip and it makes me feel so vampy and beautiful. Also, don't get me started on Fall nails! If you've been a reader for years, you know how much I appreciate a Fall manicure.




4. Clothes and Accessories: It's no secret I love accessories so when I combine that with my love of this season, you know it's going to get out of hand. Whether it's a new planner cover/dashboard *like pictured above* or my Pumpkin Spice Alex and Ani Bracelet, I'm in love with all things Fall themed. I ordered this Hocus Pocus shirt as well as a 'Leggings, Boots, Pumpkin Spice' shirt from the Pink Lilly Boutqiue.

5. Candles: Once again, something I talk about frequently is my love of candles. I love candles all year long but there is something beautifully special about a Fall scented candle. I've already burned through Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin and now Leaves is up on the menu, but there are so many other scents I want to try. A unique scent that I posted about last week on Instagram was the Evil Queen 'Get Toasted' candle which is limited edition and currently on one last preorder. It has the most delightful scent of

I will be highlighting the rest of my Fall favorites throughout the season so stay tuned :)

If you are not familiar with me or my blog, hello, I'm Briana and I'm addicted to Fall.

Saturday was the first day of Fall and it truly is my favorite day of the year. I was so happy I could've cried. It was the perfect temperature, a light, cool breeze, and the sun was shining. I even saw a few leaves start to change color.

My room has been decorated for Fall since Labor Day but this weekend put me in the mood to change the feel of the entire house.

My mom and I conflict on decor every so often because I want our house to look like the holidays threw up on it but my mom is not so keen on that. That's why I always make sure my room is decorated to the nines. It makes me so happy and brings so much joy -- plus, my mom gets to keep her own decor throughout the rest of the house.

That's my compromise for everyone who still lives at home with their parents -- if you want the holiday/seasonal feel, decorate your own room instead of the entire house.

The beginning of Fall always has been craving the coziness of the season, which is the inspiration for this post.
