Hello really cute little dress…

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

…um, I will be wearing this one ALL THE TIME.  It’s made out of a sweatshirt-like material, so it’s thicker and perfect for fall and winter.  (Wouldn’t leggings look cute under it too?!).  I was super comfy all day in this one!!  And bonus, RIGHT NOW, IT’S 40% OFF!  I paired it with a cuff and of course, my Vince Camuto booties…BECAUSE I CAN’T STOP WEARING THEM!

Speaking of Vince Camuto boots, all four pairs I tried on during the Anniversary Sale are still in stock today…

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

Tall Boots//Top Booties//Middle Booties//Bottom Booties

Now,  I only ended up keeping the top pair (because I really didn’t need four new pairs of boots), but they were all four comfy and really cute.  Boots and booties are totally a fall favorite of mine!!  And I really love Vince Camuto ones because they run true to size and are COMFY!

And speaking of booties and dresses, one more for you…

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

Look at this cute dress I wore on Sunday!  It has the cutest ruffle details on the collar and sleeves.  I paired it with my black peep toe booties…

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

Aren’t these booties fun?!

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

I wanted you to see the sleeve better in this pic.  This dress also comes in a pretty red/pink color too.  It’s a lighter material but because it’s lined, it’s not sheer.

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

I mean…does anyone else have their DVR set???  You guys got me sucked into Hallmark movies last Christmas, and now, I’m recording the fall ones too BECAUSE THEY JUST LOOK SO DARN HAPPY!  Every time I see a commercial for one, I think, “Ahhhhhh!  That looks so sweet!”.  Happy happy happy happy.  I also love these movies because I can watch them with Kensington.  They’re just sweet little shows.  My DVR is ready to go!

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

Well, this pic has THREE of my favorites in it!!  My mug, my tea and my cuff!!

My friend sells these mugs and this one makes me laugh every time I use it.  On this particular day, I’m not drinking coffee but my new favorite tea out of it instead.  Earlier this year, I set out to discover the joys of tea and you ladies overwhelmingly suggested I try Harney & Sons and I’ve been hooked ever since (my favorites are Hot Cinnamon Spice and Paris ), so the other day, I was pumped to see that they had Pumpkin Spice out for fall.  It is so good!!  So, when Nordstrom asked me to collaborate with them on a post, it was for Vince Camuto and hello?!  I adore their booties and clothes, but they wanted me to try their accessories and I was like…but I already have!

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

I bought this cuff and have loved wearing it!!  It’s light, it goes with everything and it works year around.  #notalkingmeintothat  Here are some of my other favorite Vince Camuto accessories right now (just scroll and click)…

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

 

And pssssst: in that picture, I’m also wearing this dress from this summer paired with those booties again.  #cantstopwontstop

 

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

And three favorites in one right here: I love magazines…but I ESPECIALLY love the ones that come out September through December.  How happy is that cover?!  I took a 20 minute break the other day before I went to pick up the four kids from school to read a magazine and enjoy a snack…the McKinney Mix at Mom & Popcorn on our town square.  I’ve told you guys about this place a million times.  It’s an old-fashioned popcorn and candy shop located in downtown McKinney and they make a ton of gourmet popcorn, but my new favorite is the McKinney Mix.  (Properly named!)  It’s a mix of caramel corn and jalapeno popcorn.  It’s fantastic!  A good magazine, delicious popcorn, that cozy dress and a quiet house…now, that’s a favorite!

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

And last but not least…

, Fall Favorites Giveaway!

…Pumpkin Spice Pecan Monkey Bread to wrap up my fall favorites.

Give me ALL the pumpkin recipes this time of year.  ALL OF THEM!

    I’d say August through December is my favorite time of year, and during fall, three things are my favorite. First, the weather. In the Boston area it just is so pretty and comfortable. Second, new TV! Something about your favorite tv shows coming back is comforting. And third, it means Christmas is coming. 🙂

Would you be able to recommend a slow cooker or some features you think I should look for in a new one? Ours is ready for an upgrade! Made your Sausage Pumpkin Ravioli last night…it’s one of our favorites.

  154. Martha says

    My favorite thing about Fall is the time change. In FL we don’t see many of the typical seasonal changes, so the time change helps us get in the Fall mood. Thank you for the giveaway!

  327. Shannon Spain says

    I just want to say I go to the same church as you and seeing you as friendly and kind as you appear on your blog/Instagram is something I really appreciate. It’s refreshing to see people like you who are the same anywhere they go rather than putting up masks. So thank you. And my favorite fall thing is definitely carving pumpkins? And possibly my mug too!?

My fiance and I are moving into a condo together in a few weeks so I’ve been stockpiling fall decorations and already mentally planning where everything is going to go.

  454. Courtney Hitpas says

    What is there NOT to love about fall?! And Nordstrom! Two of my most favorite things.

    I love fall because it’s a fresh start from summer: new routines, new weather, new scenery, and it’s all just AMAZING. Pumpkins and leaves and booties and jackets and a crisp, sunny fall day are just the BEST.

    I love reading your blog everyday! Thank you Shay!

  456. Shannon says

    Anything and everything COZY! Warm drinks, soft sweaters, big scarves, and boots are the way to my heart. Fall just feels like family time to me- I couldn’t love it more

  464. bella says

    I love all the pumpkin food at the market that just signals fall for me. I’ve bought Thomas’s pumpkin spice English muffins, Pioneer pumpkin pancake mix, Noosa pumpkin yogurt, Barbara’s Puffin’s Pumpkin cereal, and canned pumpkin. I also love the Pumpkin Pie bagels at Panera bread (but they are usually sold out early in the day) and of course the wonderful 3 wick Cinnamon Pumpkin candle at Bath and Body Works.

  487. CampDallas says

    We are in the upper Midwest and the leaves are absolutely beautiful in the fall! Pair that with fresh cider donuts from the apple orchard and football and it’s a PERFECT fall day around here!

  489. Katie says

    Apple cider slushes, vanilla pumpkin iced coffee at Starbucks (try it!), and cooler weather (that has been replaced by a last blast of summer…whomp).

  490. Ashley says

    I love getting to bust out the sweaters (even if we can’t really wear them till late October), celebrating my family’s birthdays, and mainly the food! Apple crisp, pumpkin muffins, chili and apple cider donuts ? It’s my favorite season!

  496. Dara M says

    I love fall because of the colors (mums and pansies on my porch make me happy) boots, auburn football, soup (taco is my favorite), and my church’s women’s conference. Pumpkin scones aren’t bad either?. I love fall! ❤️??

  499. Kelly Burge says

    Fall is my absolute favorite season! I love everything cozy, cooler weather, pumpkin everything, state fair, nights around the fire pit with my family, back to school, college football, and all the soups and stews! I can’t wait for it all. Too bad it still in the upper 80’s here in NC.

  539. Jessica Mokan says

  605. Emily says

    I love fall! I’m in Florida so it’s still pretty darn hot out – but it’s starting to cool off a teensy bit in the mornings (or maybe that’s just wishful thinking?!). Either way, I’m excited to pull out my fall decorations and drink all of the cinnamon flavored things.

  606. Shannon Dobbs says

    Yay Fall! I love this time of year. I really need to get you new book. We are always on the run and use the crockpot quite a bit.

    I love everything about fall! The weather, pumpkins, football, leaves changing colors, I could go on!

  612. Brooke Hastings says

    Here’s the thing, I didn’t realize how much I loved Fall until recently. I thought I was a spring/summer girl. But the thought of cooler weather, booties, scarves, pumpkin spice and football just gives me all the feels! ? Love fall!!

  617. Madeleine Williams says

    I love getting my thick, cozy scarves out when fall begins. There’s nothing like looking out the window and seeing the colorful leaves swirling around and knowing you need to bundle up ?

  618. Holly Breton says

    That magazine is a must have- can’t wait to pick it up and thank you for the popcorn inspiration! I am going to try and replicate that sweet and savory combo!

  619. Elizabeth Feldpausch says

  620. Michele Craparo says

    I love seeing the leaves change outside my classroom and teaching my Kindergarten students the magic of how it all happens. It’s a magical time.

    Visiting a fall festival, drinking apple cider, watching the leaves change, & seeing the excitement through my children’s eyes!

  639. Emily Dzuik says

    My favorite things about fall are the southern feel to it. People seem to come together because everyone loves fall. It’s like God created it to bring people together and then comes thanksgiving! I mean there’s college gameday, natures beauty, sales everywhere; fall is a reward God gives us that’s a glimpse of heaven.

  641. Lauren Conley says

  664. Laura Johnson says

    Love this post too much! Honestly, my favorite thing about fall is the cozy feeling between friends, the reason to take a walk with a latte and a girlfriend just to chat even if there’s nothing pressing, and the warmth of a good sweater hug! I also love the inspiration you bring, Shay, to make our homes cozy and inviting for the season. You are my first stop for ideas, and have been for years!

  669. Clarice S. says

    That dress does look super comfy! If only it came in a tall size- most dresses are always too short on me 🙁

  670. Samantha Oakleaf says

    I love so much about fall, but probably my number one thing is sleeping with the windows open!

    I love fall because it means hoodies and sweaters! Utah had a very hot summer and it changed so quickly! I’m all snuggled up in my favorite hoodie and blanket, THE BEST!

  679. Natalie Lozano says

    I love the smell of wood burning in fireplaces, Annual trips to the pumpkin patch and camping, the beautiful warm fall colors, sweaters and warm coffee in my hands.

  684. Natalie Proeber says

    Fall is hands down my favorite season here in Wisconsin! I am loving all of the leaves on the ground right now! Also my daughter (first child) just turned one on Monday and I am loving watching her recognizing pumpkins everywhere!

  686. Erin Laigle says

    My favorite fall things are the crisp cool air and the beautiful turning leaves and pumpkins everywhere!

  690. Leah Gomez says

    I bought those Vince booties with the peep toe and can’t wait to receive them! They’re back ordered until November, so I’m a little worried it might be too cold by then to wear peep toe.

  691. Tara Vera says

    I love football sundays, apple picking, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin beer, cooler weather, and the change of seasons!

  693. Christene says

    I love walking my kids to school in the fall…sweaters, jeans, that crisp feeling in the air… perfection.

  704. Clara says

    So many things to love about fall, but one tradition my husband and I have is to watch all the Harry Potter films in the fall. They just have such a cozy, fall feeling!

  706. Tory says

    My favorite thing about fall is the weather changing, which means it’s time to pull out the scarves and boots. Of course, I can’t forget that it’s pumpkin spice season.

  712. KeLe says

    I love fall for the silliness it brings out in my kiddos. Burying themselves in leaf piles is their fav!

  714. Brenna says

    You can’t beat the fall foliage up here in the Midwest! And the chill in the air means my favorite booties can come back out!

  715. Brittany LaBagh says

    I love fall weather in NY because I love fall fashion. Give me all the booties and sweaters!

    Love that black dress paired with the booties! I’m on the hunt for a black dress or two to add to my fall work capsule-wardrobe. Looks great!

  724. Erin Nichols says

    When I was younger, I was strictly a summer girl, but I love fall fashion and comfy clothes sooo much that fall is a close second for me!

  726. Alyssa says

    I’m looking forward to taking my son to his first apple orchard to pick apples and have cider and doughnuts! Also looking forward to updating my fall wordrobe. I love this time of year!

  781. Tara Campbell says

    Other than the amazing weather, I think my favorite thing about Fall is all the fun family things we do (apple orchard, farm visits and hayrides, mountain hikes). It’s so nice to get outside with the whole family more and not sweat to death.

  782. Natalie Alvarado says

    I love a quote I saw the other day, “Autumn teach us how to let things go”. And the picture had leaves all over the ground. I feel like Fall is a good reset time. I love the cozy sweatshirts, fall scented candles, beautiful colors, yummy comfort foods and drinks.

    I have 13 month old twins and so far my fave thing about this transition into fall is being able to take them for long walks in the morning without it being 90 degrees! It’s crazy what a little drop and in temperature will do for everyone’s mood 🙂 I’m also loving my pumpkin candle by Nest! It’s so fragrant and really makes the whole house smell like fall!

  820. InirAy says

    Oh man. I love fall. So much. I live in Portland so it means a start to the rain but we like it. We are in our new house with a great front covered front porch that was made for sitting and sipping hot tea and nibbling on a warm maple donut from Voodoo.

I found them at Marshall’s and they cost less than $30!

  871. Alicia Rowland says

    Oh gosh.. um EVERYTHING! Haha. One of my favorite fall (or any season really) secrets is Walmart’s knock of Bath and Body Works candles!! I loooove their candles and last year saw someone post the Walmart knock off. They are the same size, smells, and get this.. $4.97!! And actually smell AMAZING just like BBW!!! I just bought a new one last weekend for my kitchen. They are hidden over in the air freshener/glade plug in aisle. They aren’t with the other candles. Run fast and stock up!! 🙂

  873. Lydia Sour says

    I love the start of a new school year in MN! I’m getting my teaching license so I’m starting to get into the classroom, and I currently have nothing to student teach in — haha! I also love reading scary books and watching the rain fall over the dried leaves on the ground ??

  950. Mother Henn says

    Believe it or not, I like that it starts getting dark earlier. We get more cozy (I love cozy) and we spend more family time cuddled up on the couch under a warm throw blanket. I love hearing about my girls’ days at school and just talking to each other. These are my favorite days!

  1006. Kathryn Duthaler says

    Enjoying our family’s LAST back to school (for my mom – she’s a teacher and is retiring this year!) And changing out fall closets (sweaters and coats) and cupboards (pumpkin spice and apple crisp) means a good time to declutter and donate to all the fall food/clothing drives!

    I love sweater weather!! And my glasses not fogging up every time I leave the house because it’s so dang hot outside. 🙂

  1016. Allie says

    Fall is my absolute favorite season. My favorite part about it is the first day that the air is crisp enough to wear a sweater and jeans outside but the sun is still shining and the leaves are slowly changing. Plus, you know, pumpkin patches and cozy clothes and hot chocolate and changing leaves. 🙂

  1019. Annie Williams says

    What I love about fall right now is the cozy weather and the fall foliage as well as all the fall feativies like Apple and pumpkin picking!!

  1021. amg says

    Fall is my jam! Apple butter to be exact! I love it so because I was born in the Fall and then married 27 years later in prime fall foliage time! This year we are riding a train through the red river with my parents to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary! We can’t wait to celebrate with them and to see the beautiful fall foliage. I sure would love a gift card from Nordstrom to deck us all out in cute picture-perfect clothes!

  1022. Lauren Wilson says

    Comfy sweaters, leggings and boots. Snuggling up in front of a fire and watching movies, the colors! Everything!

  1023. Michelle says

    Oh my stars, I love all about fall! Weather change, leaves changing colors, pumpkin flavored everything, boots and long sleeves!

  1024. Abbie Bussey says

    Right now the thing I love most about Fall is that I’m due with my first baby any day now! That $500 gift card would be great so I could revamp my wardrobe after baby. I feel like I haven’t been able to wear cute clothes in forever! ? Some other things I love about Fall are the cooler temps, college football on Saturdays, eating chilis and soups, and hopefully watching my Cubs in the MLB playoffs!

  1025. Caty Fealko says

    Love love love that pumpkin spice is everywhere! And the fall decorations in my house! Also love fall clothes and would love to win to give my closet some updating!!

  1033. Kari Ahrens says

    My favorite time of year! Sweaters and crisp fall air (that I hope shows up here soon, because I am SO over 90s), apple orchards, pumpkin patches, crunchy leaves under my feet, watching the kids jump in leaf piles, football, comfort food, the colors… I could go on forever.

  1034. Angela sousa says

    Cooler weather, pumpkin muffins, but most importantly- we are DTC as of 9/14!!! Happy fall to us! Come on, Nordstrom, need some comfy travel clothes! ?

  1052. Andrea says

    I love seeing the leaves change, the cooler temps, our fall family day trips of hiking and sight seeing in a state park, and a plus is my birthday!

  1053. Dana Vissage says

  1057. Kelly says

    The WEATHER!!! Now, being from Texas you know we have a few more weeks of summer like weather but when it cools off that is my very favorite!

  1060. Amanda says

    I love just having the windows open throughout the house and a fall candle burning. It’s so muggy in NC during the summer so the days that I can open all the windows and feel the fall breeze is the best! (side note – that is not right now though – it’s still 80+ degrees) 🙁

  1061. Caelin Micks says

    I love a good mug to match the season to pair my tea with too!! Also you can never go wrong with a good tshirt/sweatshirt material dress!

    There is nothing I love more then enjoying a cool Sunday afternoon with some hot cider, LL Bean slippers and football on the TV.

  1069. Heather Blair says

    We live in Colorado so my favorite thing about fall is when the aspen trees change color. They turn from green to bright yellow and when the wind blows them the little leaves look like they twinkle.

  1074. Jaime Wyant says

    I love the cool weather in the evenings and that it starts to get dark a little earlier. Something about reading or watching TV by the fireplace with a candle burning when it’s dark outside seems some cozy and happy to me!

  1080. Kelsey Jessee says

    I love the clothes! Wearing a sweater, scarves, boots, it’s the best! Watching football, eating a yummy soup… I could go on!!

  1082. Kelly K says

    LOVE fall! Crisp weather, leaves changing, going to pumpkin patches and of course PSL from Starbucks!

  1086. Kelly Weeden says

    I desperately want all four pairs of those Vince Camuto boots you shared and I have no idea how you were able to decide on just one! You have will power Shay!

  1087. SS says

    Bonfires on crisp cool nights, looking at the fall sky, Apple picking, going to the Orchard getting cider fresh off the press and warm donuts, warm cider on cool nights, mowing with leaves falling around you.

  1090. ann says

    The leaves! Also, walking outside, seeing the blue sky through the treetops, and feeling a chill in the air for the first time in months.

  1092. Niki Neumann says

    Fall is definitely my favorite season! Personally, my fall favorites are snuggling up with a good book while it’s nice and cool outside and going to a corn maze with my family. Loved your post today!

  1094. Jill says

    I love love love Fall!!! My favorite this Caramel Apple Spice from Starbucks. It is like fall in a cup!

    What’s not to love! Beautiful colors, crisp air, cozy fires, oversized sweaters and Pumpkin!!

  1106. Kaley says

    i love so many things about fall but my FAVORITE has to be the leaves changing! i moved from the midwest (where the colors were spectacular) to denver, but now driving out to the mountains and seeing the aspens lit up in bright yellow and orange… it makes my heart so HAPPY.

  1107. Brooke Rowland says

    I love being able to eat all of that fall yumminess without having to worry about squeezing into a swimsuit for 6 months 🙂

  1108. Meghan says

    Finally turning off the AC, going through each room and opening up all the windows to let in the cool, fresh air!

  1117. Meghan J says

    I love everything about fall. But one of my favorite family traditions is driving to the Colorado mountains to see all the aspen leaves change colors.

  1118. Carly says

    I love being able to wear anything in my closet because the temps are perfect! I also LOVE going to the apple orchard and picking the apples (plus getting cider doughnuts!).

  1119. Rebecca Scott says

    Since I leave in New Orleans and it’s still 90 plus degrees, I am currently loving my PSL from Starbucks and pretending it is really fall weather : )

  1122. Melissa says

    Finding the September edition of Southern Living in my mailbox is one of my favorite things each year! Football, cooler weather, all the holidays…so much fun!

  1130. Kim says

    I love the weather, the leaves changing, sweaters, leggings, boots, the apple orchard, fall candles, fall Hallmark movies……

    Fall is my FAVORITE. The leaves are already changing color up here in Michigan. It’s crisp in the morning, and PERFECT reading weather. I love making chili and corn bread for a fall dinner, and lighting a fall candle.

  1151. Michelle says

    Scented candles with cozy fall scents, Thursday and Friday night football with the kids, Halloween looming in the distance,… just a few fall favorites…

  1153. Rachel says

    Fall to me means cozy family Sunday dinners while football is on. Especially since my 97 year old grandpa comes to every one. I know these times with him will be limited. He just loves to sit with a peaceful smile and watch his legacy and family enjoy time together.

  1157. Therese says

    I live in KY with an historically lackluster football team. It can be hard to be a football fan in a basketball state. So far this year the University of KY football team is on a role and that is currently what I am loving about fall.

  1159. Jennifer Richards says

    Fall is definitely my favorite time of year! Bring on all of the smells and feels of fall!

  1161. Kristin Price says

    It’s still so hot in Alabama but I’m loving all the seasonal coffee flavors. Pumpkin spice, pecan pie and apple cider get me in the Fall spirit.

  1163. Jocelyn says

    This is such a hard question to answer! There’s so much to love about fall- the fashion, being back in school, the food… but if I had to narrow it down: We have about a million and one family traditions from September to December. I love that my Saturdays are filled with family time, being “fun aunt” to my nieces and nephew, and eating delicious fall foods. Also, running is SO much better in the fall. Not sweating to death in the first 1/2 mile is really nice. haha.

  1166. Katie Harbolt says

    My favorite part of fall are all the leaves god places on the trees to remind us of how beautiful and good his creation is

  1167. Janie says

    I love everything Fall – scented candles, autumn decorations, pumpkin recipes, and of course the weather. October is the best month of the year in Texas! ?????

  1171. Sarah says

    I am loving the crisp morning air along with all of the cute decorations and clothes to look at while window shopping 🙂

  1177. Raeanna Leasor says

    I was trying to hold off until Friday to dive into fall, but this post inspired me to just jump face first into everything pumpkin spice today. Also I have a job interview on Saturday and I’m thinking I need to buy that striped sweater dress for it….

  1178. Paige says

    I’ve been eyeing all those booties for forever! I’m also loving that coffee cup for fall, so cute!!

  1180. Meghan C says

    I love it all….. the cooler weather, Comfy clothes, anticipation of Christmas! It’s all fabulous.

  1182. Morgan Wedewer says

    I live in Iowa and my favorite part of Fall is finally being able to wear sweaters and scarfs and eating a nice hot soup on A Sunday while watching Football.

  1188. Barbara Parnell says

    The colors! The cool,crisp air! Pumpkins! Apples! Warm sweaters! Boots! It’s time to turn the oven back on for baking and making delicious,fall inspired meals! Pies! Cookies! Cider donuts! I love it all.

  1189. Madie Domm says

    Let’s not forget about the fall weather! My favorite thing about fall is gearing up for a Minnesota football game! I love representing the University of Minnesota in my maroon and gold. It’s so fun being outside when you can dress warm and be comfortable and not too hot or too cold.

  1190. Chelsey says

    I need to move South because for us in Michigan, fall means winter is coming and I am not a fan of winter. But I do love the beginning of fall when it’s still warm in the afternoons. Leaves are changing and the apple orchards are open!

  1198. Joanne says

    I love the fall colours and I especially love fall mums. Such a pretty fall flower. I also love wearing scarves and shawls everyday!

  1199. Amanda Klein says

    Loving your loves – the changing leaves are my fall fave! And OMG, your McKinney must be

  1219. Abbie Duvall says

  1234. kathy Olson says

    Watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown with my kids. They are older now, but I can usually get them all to come and watch with me. There’s something about hearing that music begin on that show that takes me back to my childhood and theirs. It’s the sweetest memory.

  1235. Maliah Farris says

    I absolutely love Everything about fall!!! Pumpkin candles, decorations, fall fun, kids birthdays, cool air, hot tea && campfires:)

    I love fires in the fireplace. It’s still 90 degrees here, but my husband stacked wood in the fireplace for me so at least it looks like fall in the house.

  1248. Jordan Kuban says

    My absolute favorite thing about fall is going to Cades Cove (Smoky Mtn National Park) to enjoy the foliage. We always take lots of yummy food and grab cider on our way in. You drive pretty slowly through the 11 Mile Loop, so we always roll the windows down and have blankets. And if we get really lucky we will see a bear or two! Fall is my absolute favorite!

  1249. Debra says

    I absolutely adore Fall, it’s my favorite season most definitely! Cooler temps, apples, crock pot dinners, football, jeans and booties!
