Coffee, coffee, coffee!

Even though I drink coffee year round, when fall weather hits it’s time for a new coffee cup & special coffee drinks!  Here are my top picks for a new cup:

• Farmhouse Yellow Mug • Crate & Barrel • $6.95  ~ Mustard yellow is one of my favorite fall colors!
  Home Essentials & Beyond Embossed Owl Gold Coffee Mug • $5.99  ~ It’s an owl & it’s gold – what’s not to love?
• Indigo Organic Reactive Glaze Mugs, Set of 2 • World Market • $8.38  ~ This reminds me of one of my favorite coffee mugs which now has a broken handle.  I still have it & use it for storage!
• Project 62 Solene Stoneware Mug 10.9oz White • $3.99  ~ Stoneware mugs are nice & sturdy!  I really like the bit of silver at the top.
• Coffee Talk Mug • Pier 1 Imports • $8.95  ~ This is me every morning!
• Designs Direct “Staying in is the New Going Out” 11 oz. Coffee Mug in Grey • $12.99  ~ Yes!  I’m a big homebody y’all!
• Threshold Coffee Mug 12oz Stainless Steel Red • Threshold • $4.99  ~ The red on this mug reminds me of changing leaves.  It would also be great for camping!
• TABLETOPS UNLIMITED Tabletops Unlimited Polka Dot 5-pc. Coffee Mug • Tabletops Unlimited • $42  ~ I had to include this for my polka dot loving friend!  ; )
• Woodland Mushroom Mug • Pier 1 Imports • $4.98  ~ Y’all know I’m a mushroom lover!  This mug just feels like fall to me!

Drinks for Your Mug

What good is a mug without something delicious to drink in it?  I love trying new hot drink recipes for my mug when the weather cools.  Here are some on my list to try:

• Maple Chai Latte from Through Her Looking Glass ~ Chai lattes are full of warm spices & flavor.  The addition of maple syrup sounds heavenly!
• Cambodian Coffee from Nellie Bellie ~ Super simple & it looks super tasty too!
• French Hot Chocolate from Well Plated ~ Few things can bump a coffee related drink out of my cup – chocolate would be one of them!  This looks so decadent & it does have a little espresso powder for extra flavor.  ; )

Check out my Pinterest boards “Coffee”  & “Recipes ~ Drinks” for more inspiration!  I may be separating the drink board into hot & cold drinks eventually.  There are mostly cold drinks at the top right now, since summer

Fashion

If you were to look up “fall fashion” on Google, you’re going to find a million pictures of outfits with boots, scarves, & wraps over leggings.  This look is great for fall because it’s cozy & comfortable, but I like to mix things up sometimes!  Here are few options for different fall looks that I’m digging right now ~>

• Merona Women’s Dorothy Driving Moccasin Loafers • Merona • $24.99  ~ These loafers look like they are one step from being slippers, which means my feet will be warm & comfortable
• A New Day Women’s Cozy Knit Long Sleeve Top • $19.99  ~ A light weight knit is great for layers.  The sleeves push up easily for days when it’s cool in the morning & hot in the afternoon.
• JOSEPH A Hooded Maxi Big Plaid Cardigan • Joseph A • $29.97  ~ I’m a little obsessed with this buffalo plaid cardigan!  It’s got a hood & pockets y’all!
• Sole Society Mason Weekend Bag – Brown • Sole Society • $79.95 ~ This is a nice big tote perfect for an impromptu getaway or toting crafts in-progress.  ; )

Even though I like to mix things up, I still love a good boot & scarf/wrap combo!  Cents of Style has the perfect deal going on this weekend to get your fall wardrobe going.  They are celebrating Fashion Friday’s 5th birthday with a boot & scarf combo for $29.95 OR boot & kimono combo for $34.95.  As always shipping is FREE!  Just use the code FIVEYEAR at checkout.  Some of the kimonos have pockets y’all!  Perfect for holding snacks or keeping your hands warm.  ; )  The boots are low cut which works great for me & my big calves!

Sewing Patterns

Since I sew, I had to include a few items on my “to make” list.  Hopefully I’ll get one done before the weather cools!

• Jasper Sweater Dress from Paprika Patterns ~ I would make this into just a hoodie instead of a dress.
• Biker Jacket {plus size} from Burda Style ~ I like that this pattern is made with a different material than what’s normally seen for a biker jacket.
• Fumeterre Skirt from Deer & Doe ~ This skirt is fabulous!

Home 

During the fall months it’s time to start warming up the home with some fun accents.  Most of these I would like year round!

• Large Wire Storage Basket • $14.99  ~ This basket would be great to hold extra blankets for chilly nights.
• Faux Marbled Leather Sand Pillow • Pier 1 Imports • $23.96  ~ Leather just makes things feel more cozy!
• Suite One Studio Mimira Small Platter • $24  ~ This platter would be great for a center piece on the dining room table.
• Threshold Decorative Horn Bowl • Threshold • $14.99  ~ Great place to put some fall items on the coffee table!
• Buffalo Plaid Throw • Lulu & Georgia • $36  ~ Although I do love the throw that this link is for, I’m in love with this whole look!
• Hyde and Eek! Boutique 2ct Harvest Cable Knit Pumpkins (Orange and White) • $12  ~ I see pumpkins made out of everything on Pinterest.  There are some ideas below this list for more crafty people!
• Whitaker Reversible Throw • Pottery Barn • $39  ~ Cozy throws are a must for fall!
• Threshold Wood Rectangular Milk Crate • Threshold • $34.99  ~ Another great option for storing throws & quilts!
