5 Favorites Of Fall... Elegant Nest

Welcome Laura from Elegant Nest

Hello Living Savvy friends. My name is Laura of the blog Elegant Nest. I was excited to be invited by Tiffany to share my favorite things about fall. Though, I must admit that I was a little bit worried to have to narrow it down to just 5, since fall is one of my favorite times of the year!

#1 – Fall Fashion

After wearing sun dresses and sandals all summer, I am happy to pull out my jeans and boots! This year I am loving the look of Oxford shoes for women.

I love the pair I found recently - shown below. They are becoming my favorite shoe for fall. See more of my favorites here…

 

 

#2 – Falling Leaves

Besides all of the beautiful colors the trees are now turning, I love the way the leaves fall and float in the cool autumn breeze…

FALLING LEAVES

(Written in an Australian Spring!)

How beautifully leaves grow old,

Changing from green to red and gold!

Look up into an Autumn tree

And then, for sure, you are bound to see,

The sunshine gleaming through each leaf,

More golden because the time is brief.

Then, one by one, leaves start to crisp;

The rustling makes a papery lisp.

One falls, and drifts, blown by the breeze,

To join all the others beneath the trees.

They settle with a soft and gentle sigh

Lying so low, where they once were high.

They become new soil for the life next year,

When the new fresh buds will soon appear.

#3 – Getting cozy by the Fire

We love having real fires in our fireplace. Ginger loves them too! However, just a couple of weeks ago…and about 30 seconds after I took this somewhat fuzzy i-phone picture, we experienced a chimney fire! A very SCARY few moments until the Fire Dept. arrived. You can read more about this romantic evening here. So, as a friendly reminder this season, be sure to clean and inspect your wood burning chimneys regularly!

#4 – Football Season!

We are avid San Francisco 49er fans, and have had season tickets for 20+ years! It is such a fun and exciting day to head over to a game early, and tailgate in the parking lot with all of the other fanatics!

Which leads me right to the final fall favorite...

#5 – quality time spent with Family and Friends!

Thanks for having me today Tiffany! Happy Fall to you and yours!
