Smell that? Hear that? Feel that? It’s the September air!!! Happy September 1st! Even as someone who considers summer her favorite season, I get sooooo excited for this time of year (maybe even more so than summer? make it make sense). I absolutely love creating vision boards for new seasons and fall’s vision board almost creates itself. Maybe it’s more of a mood board, but this fall, I envision delicious pumpkin treats, walks through downtown with my love, getting lost in the fog, wearing clothing I love, and reading books that make me lose track of time…

So much happens in Orlando during the fall season. Horror Nights begins at Universal Studios and Disney World decorates and begins hosting its famous ‘Not So Scary’ Halloween parties. These events run for over 2 months so safe to say we have the spooky element of fall covered, even if we don’t get the leaves changing.
It’s a different sort of atmosphere shift. Gone are the sporadic summer storms and here are the potential hurricanes and longer lasting rains. I promise you it is just as cozy and I’ve come to love it. But like any change in season, I like to make intentional shifts that accentuate the present season. I choose to have a ~fancy~ girl fall this year and can’t wait to make even the little things feel like luxuries!
…
And like always, I have to have a bucket list. Bucket lists are tough, because it can feel like pressure to accomplish things. So really, to me it’s a list to reference if I am looking for something fun or different to do.
…
Last but not least is my fall playlist. I am very much aware that this won’t necessarily be everyone’s taste nor are all of the songs actually fall-specific. These just happen to be the songs I’m LOVING and that I know will forever remind me of this specific year and season when I hear them.
…
Above all, my vision for fall is to live in the moment and to trust that everything is happening when and as it should. Enjoy the little tiny luxuries of every day, things as small as your new mug or as big as loving your job or getting to live with your favorite person. This life is a gift and though it’s rarely perfect, there are beautiful moments sprinkled throughout all seasons! xo
