Fall officially began this past weekend, so let's talk about cool-weather style. Rustic casual fall decor inspiration, and tabletop ideas for your next dinner party. The softest luxurious  faux fur throws. Stay tidy: Stash your throws in an large basket like this oversize seagrass one.

Nesting instincts definitely take over as the temperature drops. Here's an easy home update: Change your light fixtures. I love these stylish geometric pendant lights from Schoolhouse Electric.

A healthful and delicious pumpkin spice smoothie.

Fall resolution to cook more and dine out less is made easy with one of my favourite cookbooks: Keepers by Kathy Brennan and Caroline Campion.

Speaking of cooking more, this red Kobenstyle casserole is perfect for making comforting one-pot meals.
