                                                 Four Fabulous Fall Decorating Idea 

                      
                                                                          Etch/carve your pumpkins 

Etching is easy and fun and will leave an artful design on your pumpkin. The technique allows your pumpkin to last longer and is less messy than traditional carving.   
Announce your address in style by cleverly etching your house number into a pumpkin, or etch a cool fall design. Piling diffrent color/types of pumpkins all together looks pretty too. 

                                                                  Make Custom Candle Holders 

Transform mini pumpkins into custom candle holders by cutting a 1-inch-wide circle into each pumpkin and scooping out the centers with a tablespoon. Simply insert small votive candles after ward that you can get at any craftstore. It's a cute and simple craft your family and guest will be sure to love. 

                   
                                                                           Foliage Arragangment  

The key to arranging leaves is to group them by size and color as you would flowers. Red
makes a beautiful focal point when countered with the feathery foliage of greens, browns and oranges. Try finding foliage with little pieces of hanging fruit to add an extra pop to your piece. 

                                                               Candles, candels and more candles 

Everyone knows you can never have enough candles - especailly with all the yummy fall scents like pumpkin spice and maplewood. Complete your dining table by adding candles in fun lanterns that complement your color palatte. Mix in simple canning jars for a more casual affair.

                                                                                  An A-Line Skirt 

Cute, classy and goes with just about everything. What more could you want from a skirt? A-Line skirts go with just about any top - button up, pleated, camisole, crop top or even your favorite sweater. Just add some killer heels or flats and some accessories!


                                                                               Nude Lip Color 

This beautiful color comes in a variety of shades to match any skin tone. Its light and can be worn for everyday occasions. The color-style nude is making a huge comeback in lipstick and in kinds of fashion. Nude toned lipsticks make your lips seem fuller, and who can resist that?

                                                                                          Plaid

I don't think anyone will ever get tired of plaid - ever. With fall just around the corner its hard to resist the cozy flannels you know you have stuffed away in the back of your closet. Plaid is easy to wear and can match with almost anything. So go crazy for plaid once more!

                                     5 Summer Styles You Can Wear All Fall 

                          
                                                  1. The light-weight denim/chambray shirt 

This is such a versitile essential to have in your closet. Its light weight and can go with just about anything. You can easily layer long-sleeve tops with this essential piece in the fall or even pile a sweater on-top for colder days. You can also try rolling-up the sleeves, wearing it open over a dress, tying it around your waist or even tucking it into a skirt with some cute tights and boots. 

                                                                             2. The Crop Top 

Crop tops can definitely still work for fall - you can easily make them work by choosing a longer style and pairing them with high waisted pants or skirts. If you're feeling a little more adventurous  you can even do high waisted shorts with tights. Layer a cute jacket on top and you're good to go!

3. The Midi Skirt 

This wardrobe essential definitely deserves to stick around for another season. You can easily pair it with a crop top or your favorite blouse tucked in. 

                                                                        4. The Shirt Dress 

Mixing up this dress for the fall is easy, just swap out sandals for some cute tights and ankle booties. Toss on a sweater or leather jacket for colder days. You can also easily accessorize with a scarf or a pretty necklace. 

                                                                  5. The Statement Sneaker 

Let me just start off by saying I love statement sneakers - they are so fun! We've seen a lot of celebrities rocking them these days. Kicks in prints are a go-to item for this fall. Animal print, stripes, polka dots - anything goes.
