The outdoor living of summer doesn’t have to end when the weather turns cooler.

Autumn is the new summer when it comes to outdoor living. From tailgating at football games and outdoor hikes on the weekend to Halloween and Oktoberfest, there are plenty of opportunities for gathering with friends and celebrating the bounty of the season outdoors. The outdoor living in autumn is easy, so fire up the grill and get the fire going in the firepit!

Outdoor Living Tips and Ideas for Autumn

1. Firepit

A fire is a must have when entertaining in autumn. Not only can a fire provide warmth and lighting, but nothing’s much better than homemade s’mores over a fire whether camping or in your backyard. If you looking to build a fire in your backyard, consider whether you want to purchase a firepit or build your own.

2. Pumpkin Everything

Autumn is the season of the pumpkin. While you may eschew the cult of the pumpkin spiced latte drink, that doesn’t mean that everything pumpkin is bad. Roasted pumpkin soup and pumpkin muffins are the perfect eats for those cooler nights out on the deck.

3. Outdoor Games

If you are having friends over, outdoor games are a fun way to pass the time. While you might not want to sit down to a board game outdoors (or maybe you do), games like flag football, tag, or cornhole are not only fun but can help keep the blood flowing and keep you warm and energized.

4. Warm Drinks

The cooler days and nights of autumn call for warming drinks. From mulled apple cider to hot toddys, the key to staying warm on cool nights around the firepit are “warm you from the inside” drinks. From hot chocolate to Irish Coffee, it’s all good!

5. Outdoor Seating

If you are planning on spending time outdoors chillaxing, the same seating that served you in the summertime may not do in the autumn. Consider swapping out those plastic Adirondack chairs for something that’s not going to be so cold to sit on–and consider adding some warm and washable throws to keep your legs warm.

6. Outdoor Lighting

While spending time outdoors in the autumn sun sounds nice, you may want to invite some guests over for an outdoor dinner party on the deck. That’s all well and good, but don’t forget that it does get dark earlier in the fall and you will need to provide light for your evening dinner. Everything from candles to camping lanterns will work, but just make sure that your guests can see their plates!

7. Autumn Garden

Don’t watch everything you grew over the summer just wither and die — be sure you’ve got some late summer and early autumn crops to tend to. Be that squash, corn, greens like kale or collards — there’s plenty you can grow before the first frost hits (and beyond). Plus, tending to your outdoor garden gives you an excuse to get outside. And what better for your outdoor dinner than fresh picks from your autumn garden?

Decorate for the season without a lot of fuss with these simple DIY wreath ideas.

Between Halloween and Thanksgiving, autumn is the season of entertaining. Welcome your guests in style this season by crafting up a simple DIY wreath for your front door or entryway.

9 DIY Wreath Ideas for Autumn

1. Scrap Wood Wreath – If you find yourself with leftover wood from a recent DIY project, upcycle those scraps into a decorative autumn wreath. With a little wood glue and a cardboard ring you can turn trash into treasure!

2. Wrapped Yarn – By the same token, use up all that leftover yarn from the various knitting or crochet projects that you’ve completed (or never got around to completing). Wrap sections of black, orange and white for a candy corn effect!

3. Upcycled Fabric Wreath – Turn worn fabrics that are headed for the scrap bin or the thrift store into a boho chic fabric wreath. Tear fabric into strips and tie them to a foam wreath ring available at the craft store.

4. Pine Cone Wreath – Pine cones and other found natural objects are great fodder for making a homemade DIY wreath for the season. Hot glue the pine cones, acorns, dried flowers, and sprigs of autumn leaves for an ephemeral seasonal decoration.

5. Felt Wreath – If you are looking for something more permanent, cut leaf shapes out of felt leftover from other projects and affix them to a wreath form.

6. Newspaper Wreath – For a spookier DIY wreath, spray paint newspaper with black paint, crumple it up and glue it to a foam wreath ring. Add fake spider webbing and felt spiders for an easy Halloween-themed wreath.

7. Burlap Wreath – For a super simple DIY wreath, wrap a foam wreath ring with burlap fabric and then crisscross autumn-themed sewing trims like ribbon and rickrack over the burlap. You can add a bow if you so desire.

8. Ribbon Dreamcatcher Wreath – Along the ribbon theme, you can go for a more bohemian wreath by tying long strands of ribbon, lace, and fabric scraps in autumn colors to create a dreamcatcher-like wreath.

9. Metallic Wreath – If you are going for something a little more glam, dip or spray twigs and dried leaves with metallic paints. Glue them to a twig wreath form that you have also painted with metallic paint. For extra points, mix and match your metallic colors for a cool effect–copper, gold and silver paint.

Everyone is talking about pumpkin like it’s the only worthy fall vegetable. Au contraire! Here are seven vegetables in season – right now! – that we should all appreciate more.

Summer is a delight and all, but I am far more in love with fall and winter vegetables than I am warm-weather season ones. Fall vegetables feel denser, more satiating, and more diverse. And if you thrive on a plant-based diet like me, the bulkier vegetables are the ones that carry you through life a little bit easier.

Meanwhile, there is more to fall’s bounty than pumpkin and other squash types. Here are seven other seasonal vegetables you should indulge in for their nutrition, their deliciousness, and, well, their availability!

7 Fall Vegetables You Should Be Eating

1. Beetroot

A great source of folate, manganese, potassium, and copper, beetroot contains only 43 calories per 100 grams as well as 2.8 grams of fiber, 1.6 grams of protein, and 8% of the RDA of vitamin C in the same serving. Beetroot is particularly known for its blood-cleansing abilities and has shown to acutely improve running performance due to its nitrate content.

Enjoy beetroot in this baked rosemary beet chips recipe with vegan mayonnaise or as part of this vegan beetroot barley burger!

2. Green Beans

Green beans are a good source of protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and copper. In 10, four-inch long beans, there are 17 calories, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 1 gram of protein, and 15% of the RDA of vitamin C. One cup of green beans provides 10% of the RDA of folic acid and 6% of the RDA of iron, making the young green pods helpful in promoting fertility and combating depression. Green beans also protect the heart.

Add greens beans to your next salad, like to this cold pasta salad recipe with green beans, peppers, and feta cheese.

3. Broccoli

Broccoli is rich in pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin E, manganese, phosphorus, choline, vitamin B1, vitamin A, and copper. It is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, calcium, iron, niacin, and selenium. One cup of chopped broccoli has only 31 calories but packs in 135% of the RDA of vitamin C, 11% of the RDA of vitamin A, 10% of the RDA of vitamin B6, and 102% of the RDA of vitamin K . Broccoli consumption can help to prevent cancer, improve bone health, improve digestion, and protect against chronic disease.

Need inspiration? Whip up this easy vegan cream of broccoli soup or this broccoli and feta frittata.

4. Brussels Sprouts

With just 38 calories per cup and a bulky texture, Brussels sprouts are able to fill you up without weighing you down. Each cup of Brussels sprouts has 3.3 grams of dietary fiber, 3 grams of protein, and 124% of the RDA of vitamin C. Brussels sprouts consumption is linked to a decreased cancer risk and improved digestive processes.

Get your fix with these recipes: zesty shaved Brussels sprouts salad; roasted Brussels sprouts with a sherry wine vinaigrette; caramelized Brussels sprouts with lemon and za’atar-spiced almonds.

5. Celeriac

Celeriac, or celery root, is one of my favorite fall vegetables. It has a light celery taste but a dense consistency that makes it a versatile substitution for any of my former meat-based needs. In one cup of celeriac, there are 66 calories, 3 grams of dietary fiber, 2.3 grams of protein, 20% of the RDA of vitamin C, and 15% of the RDA of vitamin B6. Celeriac boosts digestions, destroys free radicals (they cause cancer), helps in producing and storing energy, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and improves bone health.

Not sure of what to do with celeriac? Add it to your next soup!

6. Turnips

Low in calories (34 per 122 grams) and high in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, vitamin C, folate, and niacin, turnips also make for a great low-carb alternative for potatoes – one cup of turnip contains 4.2 grams of carbohydrates compared to the 13.5 grams found in an equivalent serving of potato.

A lot of people shun the turnip because of its bitter, peppery taste. However, that shouldn’t stand in your way from the possibly best low-carb dish of your life. Choose a turnip that is the size of a tennis ball for the best flavor (the larger the turnip, the more bitter it will taste). Cooking turnips then helps to shed their bitter taste. Try this vegan beet and turnip gratin with thyme and pepper or this Moroccan tagine with root vegetables and couscous.

7. Cauliflower

Cauliflower may be my favorite vegetable on this list. There is simply so much you can do with it! An entire medium head of cauliflower contains 146 calories, 12 grams of dietary fiber, 11 grams of protein, 472% of the RDA of vitamin C, 55% of the RDA of vitamin B6, and 22% of the RDA of magnesium. Cauliflower fights cancer, boosts heart health, combats inflammation, improves brain function, supports detoxification, and improves digestion. It is also jam-packed with antioxidants.

To enjoy cauliflower, roast it whole, turn it into a casserole, bake it into a cheesy grain recipe, use it as a pizza crust, or treat it like a steak.

Discover the velvet fabric trend for you and your home.

Velvet fabric is a woven tufted fabric that can either be made from synthetic or natural fibers. The tufted woven quality of velvet is what makes it distinctive. Not only is velvet unbelievable soft, but its textural qualities add dynamism to the finished product. Running your hand over any velvet fabric can change the direction of the pile, which creates a deepening or lightening effect.

In addition to being a super elegant choice, velvet is also a great fabric choice for cooler weather. And not only can a velvet throw or velvet blazer really help take the chill out of the air, it also adds a bit of luxury to any outfit or living space.

In fact, you can use puréed pumpkin to give a unique twist to just about any recipe, from a latte to mac and cheese–and these five pumpkin recipes use the squash in completely amazing ways. Enjoy!

5 Unique pumpkin Recipes

1. Pumpkin Spice Latte

Yes, you can make one at home. Skip the simple syrup, milk, and artificial flavorings and instead embrace a vegan, white-sugar-free homemade version featuring none other than pumpkin purée itself! I use this pumpkin spice latte recipe as a guideline, but instead of white sugar, I use maple syrup and instead of regular milk, I use almond milk.

2. Pumpkin Butter

Butter without the, well, butter? That’s what this pumpkin butter recipe is all about. It’s a simple mixture of pumpkin, apple cider, spices, and maple syrup, making for a delicious spread atop bread or by the spoonful.

3. Pumpkin Lasagna

Take perhaps the most comforting dish on this planet – lasagna – and fuse it with one of the most comforting ingredients out there – pumpkin. What do you get? Pumpkin lasagna. Then, satisfy the pickiest of palates and make a vegan pumpkin lasagna that is as healthy and light as it is indulgent and decadent.

4. Pumpkin Mac & Cheese

Use this sweet potato macaroni and cheese recipe as inspiration and opt for one-cup of pumpkin purée in place of the sweet potato. The resulting dish is vegan take on a childhood classic. We could all use a little more mac and cheese in our lives, and if its light, dairy-free, and delicious, what excuse do we have not to eat more?

5. Pumpkin Oatmeal

This pumpkin spice oatmeal recipe isn’t so out of the ordinary, but it makes for a great way to use up leftover pumpkin purée. Oatmeal can get boring if you enjoy it the same way every morning. Spice it up with pumpkin, spices, and chia for the ultimate superfood-fueled breakfast.

I wore a long-sleeve shirt outside for the first time last weekend and it was glorious. This wonderful occasion reminded me that I need to add a few cozy cardigans to my wardrobe before autumn is in full swing. The following 5 are high on my must-buy list.

1. Hood cardigan

Cardigans, in general, are cozy as heck. But cardigans with hoods up the cozy factor a notch. This cardigan features a hood and roomy hip pockets. The silhouette is oversized and the hems have a raw look. It’s a perfect piece for wearing on somewhat cool days when you just have to wear your favorite band t-shirt… Damn the clouds and wind. Priced at $98.

2. Poncho cardigan

This cape-like poncho cardigan is made of warm, Merino wool. It has an open front and a beautiful design pattern throughout. Its fringe is delightfully rustic, but the piece’s overall look is classic. Pair with bell bottoms and platforms to make a memorable look. Priced at $348.

3. Roomy cardigan

There are days where I just want to curl up in a blanket and get cozy. This cardigan is like a blanket, but much more fashionable. It’s made of alpaca wool and has two, roomy side pockets. It also features an open front. Wear with jeans, trousers—whatever. Just make sure you let this cozy piece be the feature of your outfit. Priced at $485.

4. Knit cardigan

This cardigan features alpaca, too. This piece is long—it’s perfect for wearing with short skirts, or peasant dresses and knee-high boots. It also has a stretchy fit, features slouchy side pockets and a hook closure. This color is insanely vibrant, too. It will look wonderful against an autumn leaf backdrop. Priced at $198.

5. Shag cardigan

Take your look retro with this vintage-inspired cardigan. The shag will keep you warm and looking fashionable. It has hidden hook closures, too. Priced at $198.

Professional clothing isn’t always fun to buy. But if you invest in a few—say, 5—nice pieces that can be worn a few seasons out of the year, you’ll be able to accumulate a nice sized, work-appropriate wardrobe in a year or so. The 5 pieces we’ve listed below are perfect items to don from mid-summer into late autumn.

1. Sweater dress

Yes, summer is still in full swing, but most offices are quite chilly. So, you’ll feel comfortable and classy in this simple, slim, sweater dress. We’re a fan of this dress’ design because it’s easy to pull on and will look great with simple heels, or flats. Wear this piece alone for now, and once autumn blows in, pair it with some ankle boots, and a boxy, pull-on, black sweater. Priced at $355.

2. Wide-legged pants

We’re quite pleased that the wide-legged pant trend is still going strong. Not only is this trend comfortable, but it’s also quite airy—an important feature for keeping summer sweat at bay. Pair these pants with a pair of modest clogs and a simple, white shirt—opt for short sleeves in the summer, and long sleeves in the fall. And keep the accessories simple no matter the season—the pants make a big enough statement on their own. Priced at $148.

3. Vegan skirt

Heaven bless the simple, button-down skirt. It’s a classic and looks great with sweaters, cardigans, collared shirts, or stylish t-shirts. Dress this office look up with a nice pair of statement earrings and wooden platforms, or down with a pair of oxfords and sensible, gold studs. Priced at $78.

4. Block heels

Block heels are amazing. Not only are they office appropriate, but you could get away with wearing this pair of heels from now until next March—talk about staying power! Wear this lovely pair of shoes with slim or loose-fit pants, or a pencil skirt, or a maxi, pleated skirt. Priced at $158.

5. Classic white blouse

Yes, you’ll need to wear something underneath this shear shirt, but that won’t distract from this piece’s versatile look. And although the white shirt isn’t interesting, we like that this piece features delicate, tiny dots, tie accents, and looped buttonholes. Priced at $98.

‘Tis the seaon of pumpkin spice. Lattes, cookies, gum, candles… You name it, there seems to be a #PSL version of it. The trend has even gone to our heads. Literally.

That’s right, pumpkin spice hair color is happening. And it is not as weird as it sounds.

Okay, so the name might make this trend seem a bit out of hand. But pumpkin spice hair color is a warm shade of coppery auburn that most women can pull off. The pink, purple, green, and blue hair turning up everywhere these days makes pumpkin spice hair seem sort of demure. Starbucks’ world takeover has officially hit salons.

So yes, if you wish to adorn your locks with the hair version of a #PSL, you will have to go in for chemical coloring. Not so into the idea? There are other options to pumpkin spice up your beauty routine that will cost you far less in toxins and dollars.

Pumpkin Spice Up Your Beauty

Kjaer Weis Cream Blush in Above and Beyond is brand new for the season. Just got my hands on this beauty yesterday and it is a new beauty staple. Because of the KJ sheerness, you can go either lightly warmed up or bright pop of color with this beautiful blush.

Kjaer Weis Lip Tint in Captivate is another new hue this fall. A pumpkin spice tone with a hint of gold.

W3LL People Elitist Shimmer Mineral Shadow in Luminous Copper gives that fall feeling to eyes. Add the powder to hair gel or moisturizer for a hit of glowy-ness.

Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion comes in several light reflecting, skin tightening shades. Add some warmth to your bod with this celeb favorite.

RMS Beauty now makes 5-free nail polish to match its lip and cheek tints! Curious is perfect for sporting your #PSL.

Still see yourself going with pumpkin spice hair color? Sally Hershberger Salons in West Hollywood and NYC both offer the color. Next best, take a pic along to your stylist.

One thing is for sure this time of year: Whether the weather is hot and sunny, wet and dreary, or cool and crisp … we are ready for fall! Evoke the season no matter what it’s like outside with fresh, natural  perfumes and scents.

You may not be wearing your chunky sweaters and ankle boots just yet (darn it!) but this doesn’t mean you can’t add a bit of autumn to you style. What’s light, invokes a sense of fall, and appropriate for any weather?

Fall scents! And natural perfumes lend that crisp, seasonal feel without the artificial fragrance side effects. Feeling something warm and earthy? Kick your cozy socked (or bare) feet up and peruse our list of the best fall perfumes to get your hands on now.

The list includes both perfume oils and sprays. What’s the diff? Oils do not contain the alcohol that makes a perfume spray-able. Oils also tend to be longer lasting, have a longer shelf life and richer aroma, and are less likely to cause an allergic reaction, like headache or skin irritation.

How to choose? If you have ultra-sensitive skin, choose a perfume oil. If you prefer to spritz like crazy and like a lighter scent, go for a spray.

5 Fall Scents to Get Your Autumn Started

1. Honoré Des Prés Vamp A NY is classic style meets modern woman. Tuberose and rum unite to create a delightful spritz-able scent Spirit Demerson deems “everything I love about autumn in a fragrance”.

2. For those who love floral scents year round, Strange Invisible Epic Gardenia Perfume is the way to go. The intense flower is grounded with velvety spiciness in this spray perfume.

Vanilla and cacao in a woodsy fusion? Yes, please! This is what you get in Tsi-La Organics L’Absolu Vanille Eau De Parfum, a universal oil blend.

And now for something completely different. Osmia Organics Cedar Smoke Perfume Oil is tantalizingly unique. Less sitting-around-the-campfire, more walk-in-the-forest. Created in Colorado, this baby is mountain living at its best.

Rose lovers rejoice. Lurk Made TBPV1 Perfume Oil combines traditional tuberose with black pepper in this modern throwback perfume oil. Think classic elegance meets contemporary style.
