Awwww! Today is just a random post of some fall things that have been making me happy…because there is a lack of pumpkins in my physical world, so I am going to pumpkin the heck out of my virtual one 😉 .
I told Andrew that I’m going to need some foliage in my life this season, so hopefully, I’ll get me some before it’s all said and done. My living room area/kitchen/breakfast room are moving along quite nicely, so I might even get a pumpkin or two (or 400 crammed into one space) up before too long!! I know I’m weird, but pumpkins just make me happy…and in 2020, we should cling to anything and everything that gives us even the tiniest bit of joy.
Grab a #psl, turn on When Harry Met Sally in the background and start scrolling. It’s fall y’all!
If you missed this last week, make sure you note it now. This is my cozy fall reading list for your season. Who doesn’t love a cup of coffee, soft blanket and book to read when it’s fall?!
Come September, give me all the transitional outfits from summer to fall! My top is from Amazon, and I absolutely LOVE it! My color combo is sold out, but there are others! You can also get it long sleeve too! And…
…did you see my watch band?!
How fun is this?! I swapped out my typical Apple watch band for this fun one in a brown leather. It comes in several other colors too and just makes me smile when I look down at it 🙂 .
One more #OOTD for you…
…give me a basic leopard tee, a bun and this girl is out the door in no time flat!
You know I love wearing lipstick, but I don’t love when my lipstick rubs off inside my mask (that’s so icky to me), so I bought…
…these two Melted Mattes in fun fall shades! I’ve used Melted several times before and love them because the color really stays all day. The top one in the pic is a seasonal special and actually smells like pumpkin spice (of course!). I’m wearing it in the first OOTD pic and then, I’m wearing the second one in the other OOTD pic (the shade is bottomless). Two fall lipsticks that don’t rub off? Yes, please! There are so many other shades HERE.
I just wanted to leave this right here in case you needed a yummy sweet or savory apple recipe 🙂 .
I can get into a Bath and Body Works candle from time to time (especially in my office/laundry room), but we are all obsessed with this one called Cider Lane! Every single time I burn it, my kids comment about how good the entire house smells (like a caramel apple). I went back and bought two more because it’s been such a fave around here! (Pro tip: I always wait until their 3-Wick Candles are on sale before I buy!)
This soap. Oh my word. This Spiced Chestnut soap from Williams-Sonoma. I bought this for the very first time SIXTEEN years ago at the Williams-Sonoma in a store outside of Detroit and fell in love with the scent. Every year, I buy the hand soap and dish soap for my kitchen and then the lotion for my bathroom. The smell INSTANTLY takes me back to another time in my life. Every. Single. Year. My kitchen might be a mess, but our hands and dishes will smell nice 🙂 .
And finally…
…an air fryer recipe for fall! You’re going to want to make my Maple Mustard Crispy Chicken!
That’s it for Thursday! I hope you all have the BEST day!!! xo
Erika Slaughter says
Remember the first time I ever walked into William Sonoma? We were on a trip-in TN! I think I even have a picture!! Oh, the memories!
Mix and Match Mama says
I do remember that!!!!!!!!!

Elspeth says
I truly believe that many little things can make a big difference whether it is soap, candles, clothes or makeup. Thanks so much for getting us into the fall mood with you Shay!

Does you watch say it is 89 degrees out? During a fall post? Girl, you need to move to a cooler climate if you love fall!
Mix and Match Mama says
Amen, amen and amen.
Sheaffer Sims says
I lit my first Fall candle yesterday after it started raining and I cozied up under a blanket. For just a minute, it felt like I wasn’t living on the surface of the sun. 🙂
Mary says
Love this post! Can you link you earrings and bracelets?
Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
Earrings are Kendra Scott and bracelets are Allie + Bess!
Julie says
The Spiced Chestnut Williams Sonoma was my “gateway soap” years ago lol! I bought it and it was HEAVENLY and I said to myself, never again do I need to buy average dishwashing soap and hand soap! And I didn’t. Hey, if you’re going to have to do the dishes, why not be surrounded by wonderful smells right? Have you ever tried Homesick candles? https://homesick.com/search?q=fall. I tried Circle E after your recommendation and mostly use Circle E, but Homesick has REALLY nice candles and you can choose by season or even choose a city you wish you were visiting. Hope you have a great rest of the day.
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh, MINE TOO!!!! That’s too funny!!! And no, I haven’t tried those!
Kristen Hardison says
I love the Homesick candles too! You would like the DC one Shay!
Carly says
When are the fall hallmark movies starting?!
Mix and Match Mama says
I think the 2020 originals start this Saturday!
Serena W. says
So sorry! I told you wrong last week, I was all ready on Saturday and then so disappointed!
Laura Toler says
I love the rug in the background. Can you share the source?
Mix and Match Mama says
Pottery Barn! I’m not sure if it’s still available but that’s it!
Annaliza says
Yes!!!!!! I was upper 50s this morning in San Antonio 🙂
Catherine says
Hallelujah on the lipgloss suggestion! I have totally missed wearing lipgloss when I go out!!
LSilva says
Your band reminds me sparkl bands! They’re so cute. You should check them out!

Stephanie Doiron says
Hi! Can you share a link to the sneakers you are wearing in both pictures? Thanks! 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t see them online anymore (the style is from last year), but they’re Golden Goose!
Jennifer says
I let the dogs out this morning and Texas FINALLY got some fall feeling weather and I immediately thought, I bet Mix and Match mama Shay is happy today!?? Happy Fall!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’M THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Pamela says
I love the soap bottles holder from Williams Sonoma. I’ve had mine for ages and my Melaleuca dish soap and hand soap bottles fit perfectly.
Serena W. says
You MUST try the LEAVES candle from Bath and Body Works – it’s SO.DARN.GOOD!!!!!!!! I stock up so I can burn them year round, I might have a candle hoarding problem 😉 Also, love your GG!!
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!!!! I burn that one in my front library all fall!!!!!
Liz Kelley says
I think I see a trip to Williams Sonoma in my future….
Mix and Match Mama says
May I please come with you?!
Emily says
Hi Shay – happy Thursday! Which weather app do you use on your Apple watch? I want mine to display the temp with high/low in one spot on the face too, but I can only get mine to show current temp. What’s the trick?
Mix and Match Mama says
The Weather Channel app!
Stephanie says
The Leaves 3 wick candle from Bath and Body is my go to candle all year round! Try it!!!!!
Jill says
The pumpkin apple candle from Bath and Body works is my favourite. It’s just right amount of spice and happiness! We have been enjoying fall weather for a bit now and the leaves are starting to change. East Coast of Canada is the place to see the leaves change when the world opens up!
Erin Hill says
That’s my favorite candle too! I buy them up because some years they take them out of rotation (or change their name). This year I’m also addicted to pumpkin doughnut – it’s SO GOOD. And Apple Weather. Both are mild scents.. sometimes B&B candles can be overwhelming, but these are perfect. I’ve gone through the doughnut one so quickly this month. I took your plan of lightening one each day while I’m working (remotely. From my kitchen. Ugh.) and it really does brighten my mood!
Emily says
How do you clean your regular watch bands? Got a watch this summer with the pink band and it is starting to smell and that grossed me out.
Mix and Match Mama says
The normal Apple one? When I shower every morning (after the gym), I shower in it and wash it off with my soap 🙂 . Clorox wipes work too!
Colleen McTeague says
1. I need to check out that candle
2. I need to know about those gold shoes! Where are they from??
Thanks Shay!!
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re fun, right? They’re Golden Goose from last year!
Emily Cecil says
My neighborhood grocery store had a beautiful display of pumpkins and such right when you walked inside and I may have just stopped and stared at it for a bit, ha! Fall makes me so happy, even though its still 90 degrees here in Alabama 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
ME TOO!!!!!!
Jaren says
Lit my first fall candle today. I need some comfort around here too! Post Hurricane Laura has me craving normal times with cool weather.
Also, have you read The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine (Last Mrs. Parrish author)? Omg! She does the best twists! Perfect book for the Fall/Winter too!
Wannie Johnson says
Already burning caramel pumpkin swirl! Love the candle holder! Did that come from BBW too?
Mix and Match Mama says
No, that’s a really old, random object I found at a flea market!
Alisha says
OBSESSED with your nail color! So fall like – I might need to get mine done to match 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I loooooove the dark nails 🙂
Emily says
Bath and body works candles are my favorites! I’ll have to try Cider Lane! Loved what you said about doing what makes you happy in 2020.. I may have started playing Christmas music last week! ?
Mix and Match Mama says
You are a girl after my own heart.
Holly says
You should try the So Pumpkin sugar face scrub from Tula. It smells amazing and is perfect for fall!
Amy says
You should try Homesick Candles – “Pumpkin Patch” or “Pumpkin Picking” for fall! They’re non-toxic (most popular brands give off toxic chemicals) and smell so good!
Heather Iovino says
Hello friend! What are the normal brand
candles you buy? I know you linked them months ago but I don’t remember for the life of me! Really want to order some :). Thanks so much!
Mix and Match Mama says
Circle E Candles…buy Country Morning!
Angie says
Love that TB watch band. Do you have a link for your other watch band you wear all the time, the bright yellow one?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from the Apple store about 3 or so years ago.
maddie says
Are we just not going to talk about those AMAZING gold ballstars?!?!?!? So cute!
Kit Rohlf says
Do you have the Apple 5 watch? If so which size watch band did you buy? I love the band but it says it fits 38 or 40 mine is a 44.
Mix and Match Mama says
I do! I have the 44 and it fits perfectly!
Ashley says
Hi!! Which size watch do you have?
Mix and Match Mama says
The 44! I’ve always bought the bigger option.
Rachel says
Love that you used pumpkin as a verb! Sorry, the English/Reading teacher side of me took over for a second!
Mix and Match Mama says
Hahahaha! I pumpkin all the time 😉 !
Laura says
You have to try BBW Pumpkin Apple. It’s a favorite at my house and gets us in the fall mood. My kids stand by it and tell me it smells like Fall ?. Also we like Leaves (also from BBW) bc it makes us think of Christmas ❤️
Rita says
My favorite candle scent was Home Interiors baked apple pie. I wish I would have bought a lifetime of them. If anyone know about a candle like them I’m all ears!
