Welcome Fall!
Home Fragrance and Fashion for Fall
Cozy is the first word that comes to mind this time of year. After being active and outdoors all summer long, we suddenly begin to crave the cooler, slower-paced days of fall when the calendar turns to October. We look forward to indulging in the little rituals that mark the start of autumn – the scent of fall fragrances, home cooking (preferably comfort food) and warm, cozy apparel.
This year, the change of seasons caught us off guard. A week ago, we were sweating out the extended heatwave that hit Southern California – a rarity for our part of the country. This morning, it was time to grab a sweater as I could see the steam rising from my coffee cup as I left the house. While the end of summer is bittersweet, I'm ready to embrace the fall. Here are just a few of our fall ‘favorites’ to get started…
Fall Home Fragrances
New candles or diffusers are usually the first item to mark the change of seasons
Spicy Apple from Rosy Rings
Our all-time favorite fall fragrance is Spicy Apple by Rosy Rings. We love how beautiful this candle looks when it is lit – it burns down the middle, illuminating the botanical apple slices, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and rosehips set in the wax perimeter. The amazing cinnamon apple scent welcomes autumn with its long-lasting balanced blend of comfort and spice.
Pumpkin Laurel from Thymes
If you're looking for a lighter, more festive fall aroma, try a selection from the Pumpkin Laurel fragrance collection from Thymes. The uplifting scent of nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove, blended with creamy pumpkin and sweet orange peel, creates a classic mix of sweet and spice. Pumpkin Laurel brings just the right amount of ‘fresh-baked' scent to your living areas without being overpowering.
Cozy Cashmere Wrap
Shorter days and cooler evenings signal it’s time to bring out the cozy sweaters and wraps. The fall days can still be quite warm, but as soon as the sun sets, the chill sets in quickly. A warm wrap or poncho is perfect to have around – such as one of these colorful cashmere ponchos from Dolma. These pieces layer on over jeans or a dress nicely. They’re the perfect fall accessory -- lightweight enough to carry around, but thick enough to stay warm.
