did you know we are already in fall? i had no idea! it's really hard to figure out what season we are in here in california

…

that must be it. i knew it was coming so i decided to google it, and sure enough, it had passed. so a little late, but here is what i'm feeling as we enter this cooler, cozier (one of my favorite) time of the year.

i've always had a thing for black, white and rustic wood tones. i think i've finally given into it though. pretty much giving up on trying to incorporate too much color into my life. trust me, i love a pop here and there, but this will always be my standard, go to palette. 

i heart

these tags

. i did a super diy for osbp with some wood that will be live on her blog soon, anyways, i have some leftover, it's super easy to work with, and i really want to offer place cards or tags with calligraphy. they totally remind me of

these i love on etsy

! you could wrap them on a bottle of wine, or tie to a bundle of herbs as a place card. //

black denim

. i have an old pair waiting for me to distress them. i just haven't been up for the effort yet. //

stripes. stripes. stripes

. can't get enough. they will literally never go out of style. try to think of one year they weren't in your closet or in a magazine. i dare ya. (and i'm wearing them as i type this, duh) // love the simplicity of

this wedding invitation

. perfect for a winter and/or nye wedding. //

this pillow

. i've had my eye on this pillow for quite some time. i've been thinking more about purchases i make, especially for our home. i know we need to invest in quality things (

like this pillow

) and be grown ups and stop buying 100% of our stuff at ikea. not that ikea is bad, i freakin love it and will shop there forever. there's just things that you should spend a little money on that will last a long time and be worth it right?

like this pillow

. did i say that? //

wildflowers and coffee

. i mean, i guess i like these things all year round, but they seem a little cozier in the fall, a little more appropriate. //

pom pom blankets

. i need a good one! i haven't met one i love yet.. maybe this one? //

this print

. black and white, perfect. our gallery wall needs a tiny update. //

these mules

. i remember when my mom wore these in the 90's. damn i wish she kept them because they'd totally be legit. i'll settle for these from anthro though (remember, no seasons here

…

these would be considered by winter shoes).

so what's on your fall list?
