Can we talk about this darling chocolate brown velvet bow hair barrette? It’s $8 and feels like the sweetest accessory for fall – also comes in black velvet!

It’s not technically included in the November Edit, but special shoutout to my favorite cropped puffer vest in the same delicious chocolate brown color. I’ve been wearing it so much the last few weeks since it came in! I think I need the beige color next. 

If you scroll to the bottom of the post, you’ll see a close-up of the new pair of boots I added to my wardrobe this fall. I was wanting a real chunky pair of black combat/chelsea boots that could easily be dressed up or down, and this pair from Target was less than a quarter of the price of the Sam Edelman ones I had been looking at. They’re so comfy and give a little height, but are still effortless to walk around in all day.

SHOP THE EDIT:

1. Fellow Stagg Gooseneck Pour-Over Kettle– I have been drinking a lot more tea lately, especially as the weather cools off. The electric tea kettles are nice, but I don’t want another thing I have to have sitting out on my counter and another cord to deal with. This brand is one of the top rated I’ve seen, and I love that it has a thermometer on top so you know exactly how hot your water is. The gooseneck precision spout ensures no spillage while pouring!

2. Insulated Casserole Carrier – It’s almost time for holiday meals, spending hours in the kitchen, and creating all those delicious dishes. When you have to transport food, having one of these casserole carriers is so helpful to keep everything warm and make it easy/safe to carry. The pretty neutral colors on this one is a total bonus. 

3. 6 Piece Autumn Eucalyptus Stems – These stems would be stunning displayed on your Thanksgiving table and come in several other fall-inspired colors as well. Currently 27% off making each stem just $2.67! You can’t beat that price. 

4. Black Chelsea Boots – I try to replace one of my old, worn-out pair of boots each fall, and this year I’ve had my eye on a super chunky black combat/chelsea boot. I looked at dozens of options well over $100 – some over $200, but this Target pair is exactly what I want for less than half the price. 

5. Oval Hand Engraved Locket Necklace  –  There is nothing more timeless and beautiful than a simple locket necklace, and I love pairing them with cozy sweaters in the wintertime. This one is able to hold a photo inside and would make the BEST gift for a friend, sister, or any female in your life!

6. Velvet Ribbon Bow Hair Barrette– This just feels like the holidays to me – velvet + a pretty hair bow in a chic chocolate brown color? I can’t wait to play around and style this different ways.

7. Stoneware Pie Dish with Ruffled Edges– Let’s be honest – pie is the best part of Thanksgiving. Whether you need a new or extra pie plate yourself or want a great gift idea for a foodie or homebody, this one is just so pretty. 

8. “Sunday Scaries” Crew Sweatshirt– You know that feeling on the weekend when you realize it’s almost Monday and you have to go back to work? That’s the “Sunday Scaries”, and this cozy sweatshirt might have to be my new weekend uniform. 

9. Quarter Zip Sweatshirt  – This sherpa fleece quarter zip feels like the definition of cozy, but it’s also stylish enough that it could easily be dressed up or down. It comes in multiple colors, but I love this creamy white! P.S. get the matching sweatpants too.

10. Amber Glass Tea Light Candle Holders – Loving all the ribbed amber glass I’ve seen lately, and I think these tea light candle holders scattered across a Thanksgiving table would be such a warm and cozy touch. Currently on sale 20% off!

11. Cotton Table Runner– I’m not a big tablecloth person – it feels a little too formal and fussy for our family. Too much fabric to potentially get dirty. But a simple runner in the center of the table is the perfect touch to add a bit of texture and softness. 

12. Double Wall Glass Coffee Mug – I’m all about a warm cup of coffee or tea to get me through the work day, and I’ve had my eye on these double wall glass mugs for awhile now. The double wall is supposed to keep drinks hotter and also produce less condensation on cold drinks. They’re also just pretty to look at!

The post The November Edit | 2023 appeared first on Love Grows Wild.

We lucked out with some really nice warm weather recently and took full advantage to knock out a to-do list of outdoor chores. The landscaping was cleaned up, trimmed back, and prepped for winter. The entire house was washed. All the outdoor furniture was cleaned and covered until next spring, and I even crossed a few indoor chores off the list before the busyness of the holidays arrive. 

Here are the top tasks you’ll want to complete for your home before the cold weather sets in:

FALL CLEANING CHECKLIST:

– download printable checklist here –

YOU MIGHT NEED:

1. I have this lawnmower cover, this grill cover, this deep sofa cover (currently 20% off), and this outdoor dining table cover (currently 22% off with an additional coupon available).
2. This leaf blower with a rechargeable battery clears all the leaves off my deck and grass clippings off my sidewalks. 
3. This hedge trimmer runs off the same rechargeable battery as the leaf blower, which is super convenient. I have multiple batteries so I can always keep one or two charging while I work.

WINDOW CLEANING TIPS:

This is the method I use, and it works like a charm. 

1. Check to make sure all windows are tightly closed and locked. Mix 1-2 tablespoons dish soap in a bucket of warm water. 
2. Spray the exterior of the window with a hose to wet the surface. Use a mop (I have this one) to scrub the window with the dish soap mixture. This will get all the dirt and grime off the glass. Spray the window again to rinse off the soap.
3. Mix white vinegar with water (around a 1:4 ratio) in a spray bottle. Spray the window with the vinegar solution, and use a squeegee to remove the liquid, wiping the tool on a lint free cloth as needed.

I’ve been making little changes in my home office recently and owe you an update on what I’ve been up to. It all started with finding my dream desk (more on that later), rearranging the entire room, getting rid of a ton of old furniture and things that no longer have a purpose, and adding plenty of really pretty storage. 

With all the rearranging, I ended up with space by a window to create a little seating area and have been working on making my new little reading nook feel extra cozy. Here are 5 elements for creating the perfect Cozy Reading Nook:

The post How to Create a Cozy Reading Nook appeared first on Love Grows Wild.

I’m always looking for ways to inspire those familiar feelings of fall – the smell of fresh baked pumpkin bread, the warmth inside our homes, the cozy oversized sweatshirts, the perfect cup of coffee, the crunch of leaves underneath our feet… 

I love everything about this season, and I hope you enjoy the items I curated for you below.

3. Plum Purple Cimicifuga Ramosa Leaves – the perfect dark, moody, dramatic fall branch

5. Modern Taper Candles – I love the unexpected soft taupe color (Dove) of these taper candles

6. Antiqued Bronze Metal Vase – the perfect rustic touch for your fall decor

7. Cottonwood Plaid Wool/Cotton Rug – wood & plaid just scream fall to me, but it’s neutral/simple enough to keep out year round

The post The October Edit | 2023 appeared first on Love Grows Wild.

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, it’s the perfect time to embrace the beauty of autumn, turn up your curb appeal, and transform your porch into a warm invitation for guests. 

Confession: Many years in the past, I’ve spent way too much money filling my front porch with fresh mums and boatloads of beautiful pumpkins – especially the light pastel varieties with soft green, blue, and peach coloring. 

Fast forward a month or two and everything is dead or dying, and I’m bummed about spending all that money that goes to waste. 

SHOP FALL WREATHS & DOORMATS:

This year I only want to invest in fall porch decor I can use year after year, and the two easiest ways to do that are wreaths & doormats. I’ve paired 10 different wreath & doormat combinations to help get some ideas flowing, but really any of these could be used together. I hope this helps inspire you to create the coziest entrance to your home that can be enjoyed for months and years to come, and I’d love to see photos of your front porches all dressed up for the season!
