Fall Home Decor Finds

Fall Home Decor Finds Fran Acciardo

We put up wallpaper in our dining area on Friday and it has completely reignited my inspiration to decorate our apartment! Since moving in in February, I've been traveling a ton and decorating fell to the back burner. With the exception of a few weekend trips, I'm actually planning to be home almost all of this fall, and it's really getting me into the decorating mood. So, I've rounded up some fall decor pieces I am loving!

I'm throwing a dinner party tomorrow and it's gotten me in such a mood to decorate my apartment for fall; I've already gotten out my autumnal candles and a few pumpkins (I mean, obviously), but I've been wanting to incorporate more candlesticks, autumnal colors, and little things like that. Of course, the dinner party requires all sorts of festive serving dishes, seasonal cocktail napkins, etc as well. Queue the round-up of a few home decor pieces for this season..!

Fall Finds

There's no debate that fall is the best time of year for outfits! I have far more sweaters than I need but I absolutely love a cozy outfit with a big knit, jeans, booties, and autumnal accessories. I rounded up some of my favorite fall finds, including a perfect suede purse, a chic jacket that comes in a few neutral shades, a classic tennis bracelet with a twist, my favorite lip gloss, a timeless barn jacket, and so many more. 


All of my picks come in at reasonable price points as well!

I planned to share the first Gift Guide today, but I got so distracted while online shopping this morning that I'm back again with another fall finds post. I know this is my third one (first here and second here), but I couldn't believe how many fabulous things I was finding for under $100 (and most under $50!) so I had to share. Maybe we'll start the Gift Guides next week, I wasn't ready yet anyway, haha. (but thank you to everyone who shared Gift Guide requests & ideas on my IG story yesterday - SO helpful, so many great ideas that I'll definitely be using to create this year's assortment!)


More Fall Finds!

Hello hello! I can't believe we are nearing the end of October. It's been interesting to see how different the seasons are in NYC compared to Wisconsin... here, it's just true fall for October & November, whereas where I'm from, it would go from summer to winter so fast that my fall wardrobe was always synonymous with my winter wardrobe with an exception of just a few short weeks. This year, I am fully into the idea of cute sweaters, skirts, and lighter jackets for the next month or so before it actually gets cold, so I've rounded up additional fall finds in today's post!

 1. Happy Friday!! I am so excited for this weekend because I flew into Chicago last night and I'm spending the weekend here with my best friends. This morning I've already seen the changing trees, had a pumpkin spice latte, and admired the cute, seasonal front porches of Lincoln Park. I'm not sure if I'd ever live in Chicago, but I do love to visit (fun fact, I lived just outside of Chicago for the first 9 years of my life!).


2. The girls (my best friends Elizabeth and Coco) just moved into this apartment at the beginning of the month with another one of our friends from Milwaukee. It's absolutely adorable and they are doing a great job of decorating! I especially love these sconces Ej put in her bedroom- pic on my stories now if you want all the behind-the-scenes!


3. On Monday my high scchool bestie Caroline who also lives in NYC invited me as her plus one to the annual gala for The Knot! We had so much fun. I wore this gorgeous dress for the black-tie affair- under $200 and was so comfortable and flattering!

Fall Fashion Finds

I've been in a major rut with my wardrobe and shopping lately, so I've taken some time over the past few days to round up a selection of pieces that I plan to order and incorporate into my fall wardrobe. In all honesty, I find shopping really hard. I have a difficult time imagining pieces outside of the way they look or are styled in photos, and it makes me unaware to things I could actually get a lot of wear out of or would fit well with pieces I already own. So, I did my best here, and if you struggle with the same thing, hopefully, this [quite large] assortment of pieces I would purchase for fall makes your shopping experience a little bit easier!
