Chic Autumnal Decorating Ideas

>

One of my readers asked me to post about chic Halloween decorations.  I don't really decorate for Halloween so I suggest visiting Martha Stewart who has an entire magazine dedicated to the holiday.  I do however enjoy decorating for autumn and I'm sure most of these ideas could be modified for Halloween.  Even though orange is my favorite color, I happen to love the look of white pumpkins.  They are perfect for creating chic autumn or Halloween decorations.  Happy October!

Autumn Interior Inspiration

>

At this time of year, not only do I think of changing out my closet for fall but also my home.  I switch out my lighter summer pillows for heavier wool pillows from Judy Ross.  I sometimes also change the color of the cashmere throw on my sofa.  From the look of these autumnal inspired interiors, I might have to splurge on an Hermes blanket soon.  Since I happen to love orange, autumn will always be my favorite season and not just for the fall fashions.  Enjoy!

Chic in Camel.

Fall fashion is all about camel and these outfits are the epitome of chic.  I found these photos on a website called Les Mads that is unfortunately all in German so I can't tell you much about them.  I do know they were taken in Paris and I wish I could dress like this everyday.  Le sigh.

Autumn

The weather in New York may feel like the height of summer but the calendar says it's the first full day of autumn.  In order to get us in the mood, I thought I would post photos of the fall foliage that should be upon us soon.
