"Autumn is a season much loved by artists, poets and those not responsible for the raking up of leaves."
It's the first week of October, and Mother Nature has created a seamless setting for fall festivities here in Rehoboth. If you haven't been using the term "sweater-weather" you should be, because there's no better way to describe this breath of fresh air. Not to mention, Autumn is a much-needed vacation for our skin between the season of sun and season of snow.
The parking meters come down, the pumpkins come up, and the local thrift-stores are packed with colourful knits. My go-to outfit for Fall is always a quality-crafted sweater, a bright necklace, a turband if my hair is looking drab, and some fitted jeans. I have learned that dresses and skirts work as partners in creating a look, but when pants are involved they are the outfit's true foundation. Don't forget about accessories though; the jewelry can turn an outfit from "Did you oversleep this morning?" to "Stunning and comfortable, how do you do it?"
Best of all, we can wear burgundy again! How exciting.
With the herd of leather boots clunking in the alleyway we tend to forget about the dripping bathing suits and sandy toes that traveled through it just one month prior. Although the change in weather was quick, our employees were quicker! The store is full of season-appropriate goodies, make sure to stop by.
For all the Bellalunatics out there—here are some ways to enjoy the crisp Fall air.
Something for the home:
Don't forget to decorate! The entrance to your home is like a blank canvas and the focal point of your property. If you have a brick pathway, you're in luck this season. Autumn tones bring out the best in that rustic red. Try something like this?
Something for the body:
Baked pumpkin seeds! Many people add sugar to the seeds, but I suggest for a healthier snack stick with seasonings. Maybe some cumin, curry, or cayenne? Yum, yum.
Something for the soul:
This will make you feel good, I promise.
Now that you have cut down on your sugar intake with those wholesome pumpkin seeds, go get yourself a pumpkin spice latte! Go ahead, it won't be here for long.
Happy sweater weather,
Kateland Kester
