Sister Style: Fall Fever

Fall planningThis morning I went for a short run, and it felt like fall. I don't know exactly how to describe it. There's a crispness in the air that feels like autumn. And I got so excited! Elsie and I both LOVE fall time. Here in our little Midwest hometown it means the weather's about to cool down, the leaves are gonna start changing colors and before you know it it will be time to break out the cardigans and tights.Emma 2Emma 3Emma's wearing: dress/vintage and shoes/UO.Autumn goalsAutumn gets us in the mood for projects and goals. You can see some of our individual goals for the upcoming months in our photos above. And if it's not feeling like fall in you neck of the woods, you'll have to forgive us. It's one of our favorite times of year and we tend to get overly excited!!!! (For example, I start using way too many exclamation marks!!!!)Elsie 2Elsie 3Elsie's wearing: tank and dress/Target, bow c/o American Apparel and shoes c/o Lotta. xo. Emma and Elsie.

  • Love the bow, Elsie! It’s starting to feel like fall where I am, too. For some reason, I always think of it as football weather.

  • AHHHH I always use too many exclamation marks when talking about Autumn. You’re so right about it being the season of goals, I always feel inspired. Maybe it’s that back-to-school feeling.

  • Just saw your idea about decorating for halloween and I wanted to pass along what my mom and I did for my sister-in-law’s surprise halloween birthday party. We decorated the entire house but one of our favorite and most commented details were the flower arrangements. My mom and I cut hydrangea from her garden, dried them, and then spray painted them black. It was really cool and a little creepy at the same time. Anyway, happy decorating!

  • Hi darlings! I’m from Spain and i really love summer. I always feel sad when it ends but, since I read your blog, autumn has become my another favorite season :). You share so many warm and funny ideas and plans for fall that make me happy and looking forward to this next beautiful season!
    Thanks for that and for this amazing blog!
    Kisses from Spain!:)
    Patricia.

  • i ADORE fall and all of the fun things that happen during the season. fall and halloween decorations are my favorite. i live in charleston, sc, where it doesn’t really get cold until closer to november, though, so boots and cardigans have to wait for a while. i both love and dislike that fact at the same time. lol

  • I woke up the other morning and did the same thing but with a bike ride. I was so excited. Fall is one of my favorite times a year too. I actually just bought a pair of shoes and a dress for fall. I may be getting ahead of myself but I’m just too excited!!!

  • My favorite sister style yet! πŸ™‚ I’m super excited too. What is it about this time of year?!?! I LOVE Fall. My birthday is coming up + my favorite holiday is Halloween. I would NEVER want to live in a town where you can’t experience the changing leaves. β™₯

  • great intentions for fall . πŸ™‚ maybe i have to think about mine now! πŸ™‚

  • oh, i completely, completely agree! i crave the first day of autumn. my heart just flutters at the thought of it. and uh, unfortunately, i’m sort of unable to control myself when the feeling sets in. we had one day in the 50s here in denver and i really lost it…i drank my coffee hot, and layered up. and now i just can’t stop. and it’s 90 degrees. but the cardigans are already out, littering my closet floor…what’s a girl to do? i’m rollin’ with it. ; ) thanks for the nod of approval! xo.

  • Fall is the absolute best time of year. I think about it often throughout other seasons and just get the chills thinking about it. I think I was pushed more towards the fall as a young’n cause my birthday was in september but as I get older I realize its much more than that. My absolute favorite is going to the pumpkin patch, pumpkins,corn maze, fresh produce, adorable farm animals, and the best kettle corn…I cant wait!

  • I get excited about fall and use way too many exclamation points, too!!!!! We had two days straight here (in Texas) where the highs were only in the 80s! That’s monumental for August! I’m anxiously awaiting fall and all of the warm spices, crisp air, and pumpkin-y goodness it will bring.

  • Waaaa waaa … I don’t want summer to ever end! Oh ok, fall is dandy too, but it means winter is too close behind, and we have such miserable ones here in Toronto. So hard to get out and about and just go for a nice walk which is one of my favourite things to do. That said, you two are making it all seem more bearable!!!! <- my extra exclamation marks are because summer is still fully intact here! Lol πŸ™‚

  • Biking into work today, I noticed a few leaves on the ground and thought the same thing – that it feels like fall. Much as I love fall, I’m not ready for it! MN winters are so brutal, and they immediately follow fall…

  • that last photo of you is gorgeous, Elsie!
    I love these Sister Style posts.
    Some fall goals of mine are crock pot cooking, homemade bread, more time on the patio before snow falls. <3

  • It’s funny because most of people associate spring with new projects because of the new things growing up oustide. But, I am a fall addict. I prefer rain than sun (but I do love sun). My perfect day invovles coffee, scarf, tight, wind and rain. And fall just makes me want to start new things : write a new novel, starting things for school, changing decoration, … lots of ideas up here! I really love the idea that you put a season, a nice outfit with all projects handwritten on the wall. Oh Elsie and Emma, I would never be able to tell how much I love your work on A Beautiful Mess!

  • Oh it’s my favorite time of year for sure! I’m already starting to get excited. Even though I’m not nuts about it getting dark earlier, when I noticed that happening tonight it still gave me a little thrill because it’s a harbinger of pumpkin-y things to come.

  • YES, I am so ready for fall. Everything about fall is wonderful… the colors, the smells, the fashion! Oh, and my birthday. πŸ˜‰

  • love your hair color, elsie! do you do it yourself or go to the salon? if it’s a DIY, could you please tell me the brand and color? thank you! πŸ™‚

  • Fall is a great time of year, I love the freshness in the air. Unfortunately fall is a bitter sweet time for me because of school (I’m really dreading going back). I absolutely love the first outfit with the great lines of the white shirt, and then the colours of the skirt. Those colours are perfect for fall, they have that warmth to them.
