Fall Fun | Things I’m looking forward to


This is hands down my favorite time of year! I walked out of the house yesterday and felt the crispness in the air & actually smiled! Fast forward a few months to the dead of winter and I won’t be smiling, but for now – I’m in my happy place! Here are a few things I’m looking forward to this season!

TV Lineup


Not only do the best shows come back in a couple of weeks, but Will & Grace is returns on 9.26! It’s one of the only shows that Gary and I still watch re-runs of weekly! I can’t believe the final season of Scandal is starting on October 5th! I think we will all miss Olivia Pope, not to mention her amazing bag collection! I think we all fell in love with This Is Us last season and it’s back 9.26!



Sunflower Fields ||


Thanks to Instagram I found out that there is a sunflower field at Colby Farm right outside of Boston! I’ve already told Gary that I want to go this weekend! 


Newport Vineyards ||


Having lived and experienced 8 Autumn’s here in New England, it’s time to expand the bucket list and experience some new things! Of course we love going to Nashoba Valley (20152016) & wine tasting with the our picnic lunches, but we’ve done it so many times we both want something new! Again, thanks to Instagram I found Newport Vineyards – they bring the “Napa experience” to Newport and looking at all the photos I think we could spend the whole day there and not get bored! 


Pumpkin Decor ||

I don’t really decorate for fall aside from pumpkins & bringing out some fall scented candles. A few years ago I decorated our pumpkins with spray paint designs and loved it! They also lasted all the way through Thanksgiving – so I wanted to give it a whirl again this year!


Balayage ||



In March I had my hair colored for the first time and what I love about the balayage process is that the upkeep is very minimal. My stylist said I could come back in 6 months if I wanted or wait even longer – 6 months will be up in October and I’m looking forward to a little refresh, maybe add a little caramel in there, but I know I’ll chicken out! 




Those are just a few of the fall things I’m looking forward to! What’s on your fall agenda?

    I love love love Will & Grace and am so stoked for it to come back. I need to watch This Is Us- maybe that can be next on my list in the hospital. I was going to get some red balayage this fall but chickened out haha but I do love balayage because of the low maintenance!

    Pumpkins and fall scented candles are pretty much all we do around here too, but I have about 1 million pumpkins I put around the house! I came home with 3 from the dollar spot the other day and Nathan was like "MORE PUMPKINS?!" Can't wait to keep up with your fall adventures!

    Fall in NE is seriously the best! All the activities, the crispness in the air, the bright blue skies, and the fashion! On of my favorite times when I lived up there!

    I totally agree that even though balayage is pretty expensive…you only have to do it twice a year so it really ends up saving you money!! That sunflower farm looks seriously GORGEOUS! Can't wait to see pics!

    I hate to admit it because summer is my favorite season, but I'm loving the cooler temps these days too! I can't wait for This Is Us to return and I love all the fall outdoor activities to enjoy. Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned!

    Fall is my favorite season but we don't get much of a fall down here. I bet it's absolutely gorgeous up there though! The Will & Grace comeback definitely has me intrigued! And love that hair color, so pretty and subtle! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

    We have a few episodes left from This Is Us, so we're trying to catch up before the new season starts! Yess decorating pumpkins is so much easier (& less messy) than carving them!

    I still cant believe Will & Grace is coming back – its like something out of a dream. It's going to be HILARIOUS… things are so much more OUT THERE in TV world.I can imagine what Jack & Karen will be up to.

    I'd be looking forward to the vineyards too (I should make a plan to go one weekend, baby in tow haha), and This is Us for sure!! So excited for that to come back!
    Sorry it's been a bit since I've come by here–I promise I;ll be coming by more frequently now!

    Fall is such a fun time! I love so much about it but like you said, with knowing the winter is right is behind it makes it less exciting for me. I cannot wait for This is Us to come back on!

    I LOVE that gold and white pumpkin!! The little bits of fall decor all over the house are my favorite. You have so many fun fall things to look forward to in New England, too. Sunflower fields and vineyards definitely top the list for me, too.

    Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons, too! I'm one that loves transitional seasons, so spring is my next favorite; I hate extremes! That said, I'm eager to start with the fall decorating, which Eddie and I have agreed we'll do this Sunday! Now you have me wanting to Google if there are any sunflower fields near me, they're absolutely beautiful, aren't they?! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far!
