Our Harvest Backyard Festival 23…

….

I love Gilmore Girls and espcecially all the Fall episodes with the small town flair and their very cute Fall festivals at the town square so I decided to go all out this year and make our own Fall Festival with Fall boths and lots of different Fall themed foods.

Seems like a fairly huge task for only one person but to be honest it was easier than I anticipated. The main word here is preparation. It is key to focus on the tasks you need to get done first and then prepare task after task after task. So the first thing I started with was the drawing of the Fall boths.

How to make your own Fall booth

I am going to spare you of my drawings cause no other than me can decipher anything on this small piece of paper, instead I am sharing all of my knowledge on here. Half of it is from Pinterest which always inspires me a lot. First of all I am have planned two Fall booths and one photo station. 

The first booth is really really easy. It is just a taple top on hay bales covered with a gingham tablecloth. Et voilá. Now add a ton of pumpkins and some good food and you are already done.

Now the second booth is a little trickier. I went on ebay and got two palettes for free from someone who doesn´t need them anymore. They are a little worn off but that is not important cause I have painted it in a dark brown wooden color and added so much decor. 

Since this is more like a bar area I wanted it to be a little higher and and closed on top so I built around the two palettes which also gave me the opportunity to add even more decor and also string lights.

Most of the decor is from a very cheap store (Tedi) cause it is very likely that it doesn´t survive this so I did not want to spend too much money.

 

Fall Photo Corner

First of all I wanted to have a cozy and comfortable corner to sit in and second of all a photoworthy spot to comemorate our first Fall festival ever. After I combined these two things I was very pleased with myself for having such a great idea. It was one of the prettiest spots. We took lots of photos here and the kids loved the bench to climb up and down the whole time.

Foggy Fall Picnic…

Who doesn´t love a picnic with lot´s of delicious things to eat and drink ??? And let me tell you something, it is definitely not restricted to Summer nor the weather. 

We had a short but sweet little picnic in the midst of a foggy morning and it definitely had its charm. I mean how cool does the fog look in the back of the picture.

If you want to do anything outside this time of the year warm clothing is the key or living in Florida would be another great possibility 😉

My favorite shoes for icey weather always have been and always will be UGG boots. I know opinions differ a lot about them but they are the only pair that keep my feet warm. 

Are you still trying to do as much outside stuff as the weather gets colder or are you and inside gal?

Hello my fall loving ladies,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliste Links-not sponsored)

I have been decorating my front porch for Fall for years now and some years I love it better than others but in general if there are pumpkins and mums I am satisfied. Mums are the perfect Fall flowers as the colors are beautiful, I personally prefer the burgundy variation but I love them all. 

And of course lots and lots of pumpkins – the ultimate Fall symbol. We went to the pumpkin patch two weeks ago and got some great pumpkins, besides the gorgeous orange ones a really cool green one and some pretty whtie ones. But let´s start on assembling. I wanted to share some of my tips and what has worked well for our entrance.

Tips on decoration your front porch

– add color – like different mums

– mix real pumpkins and ceramic ones

– add different flowers

– hang a Fall themed wreath on your door

– add different door mates – a bigger and a smaller one or a plain and a patterned one

– get a wodden sign for your entrance (I am definitely buying one for next year)

– play with heights (different pots, different sizes of flowers and pumpkins)
– use different planters to make it interesting
I love to deocrate for Fall whether it is indoors or outdoors. What is your favorite time to decorate?

Hi you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

don´t forget to shop the last hours of the famous Amazon Prime sale. I have to be honest I was a little disappointed by this years offers. There was only one thing I really wanted and that wasn´t on the list so I mainly shared what I got the last years in yesterday´s post. I only bought diapers as the deal is really good.

I love Fall and by now everybody who reads my blog might have recognized that. There are tons of trends appearing every year but I am embracing my own top 5 trends this year.

Bootcut Denim

I am so happy that bootcuts are back in style. To me this is the most flattering denim style out on the market. Creates incredible long legs and thin thighs. What more do you want?! I really am tired of skinny jeans so this is definitely a very nice welcome.

White Booties 

The white boot trend hit us last year and is at its peak this year. The selection is amazing and the amount of bloggers sharing white boots is insane. I personally was hesitating to wear snow white booties not only because of how bad the weather can be but also because I didn´t like the look but I found two pairs of beautiful creme colored pairs that I have already worn a ton.

Layering Necklaces

I have never been a over the top jewelry person. I love my statement earrings and most of the time that´s all I need but the necklace layering trend has got my whole attention. Experimenting with different lenghs and types of necklaces is great and I enjoyed it a lot. I am planning on sharing what looks good in a separate post and how I like to style these.

Turtlenecks

My official Fall and Winter shirt. I love everything with a turtleneck. It´s just so cozy and seasonal appropriate plus looks always sleek. The creme one I am wearing in this post is from H&M and I probably own it in every available color because it is this good. They offer a ton of colors plus different prints. Very stretchy and hold up well plus great for layering.

Hats

Hats haven´t been as popular as this year for a long time. I see them popping up everyhwere in all colors and a ton of different shapes. I love my hats and wear them all the time I get a chance to. Rounding-up your look with a hat definitely add the special something plus it saves you on bad hair days and it protects you from the crazy autumn weather.

 

Do you have any trends you love to wear for the upcoming season ? 

See you tomorrow.
