Accent Pieces
My current couch is a light cream, and since I live in an apartment the space is limited. When it comes to adding accents to a room (such as the living room) it’s nearly impossible. Surely that doesn’t stop me from dreaming up what pop of color I would add to the room. Currently I love bold bursts of colors in the form of chairs and pillows.
Gourmet Caramel Apples
I think caramel apples are one of those things that you simply cannot pass up when fall arrives (especially after a trip to the apple orchard). The concept is simple: dunk an apple into caramel, decorate and you’re done. I used this recipe for the caramel, alternatively you could use the little ones that come already packaged and just melt them down.
{dunk each apple into boiling water for 20 seconds and dry with a paper towel}
this insures that the caramel stays on the apples

Game Night
{ I rely on classic board games from my grandparents basement}
This weekend the weather took a drastic dip down into the 30’s and 40’s. While it seemed more like winters arrival then falls, it created just the right opportunity for an impromptu game night with a couple friends. Instead of dressing up like I usually do, I kept the look simple. A messy bun, ballet pink lips, jeans and a comfortable sweater.

Autumn Outdoor Décor
Last week I posted about these gorgeous fall porches. One thing I fell in love with was the stacked heirloom pumpkins. I had never seen heirloom pumpkins before, and when I came home to visit my parents my mum had a couple heirlooms in the backyard. So her and I decided to create a cute autumn outdoor décor for under $25. How are you decorating for fall?
