Fall Family Fun

Nick and I visited Ed Dunneback & Girls Farm this weekend for some Fall fun and to support a fundraiser for West Michigan Human Society.

This weekend the farm was allowing dogs for a $5 fee which goes directly to our local Human Society. I really love when we're able to take Scout with us so I was very excited!



The farm features U-Pick apples and pumpkins, a sunflower patch, and a corn maze this time of year.




It was cold (in the 40s) and rainy - so typical October weather in Michigan. We picked out two pumpkins, enjoyed some lunch, wandered around the market, and helped Scout make some new friends!






The real draw of this place is the 'farm market.' They offer an extensive lunch menu, donuts, cider, shakes, pizza, and locally crafted beers and wines. Pre-picked fruit, local honey, jams, and other gift items are also available for purchase in the market barn. There is also a small, outdoor play area for the kiddos.

Fall Wardrobe Essentials

Creating a Fall wardrobe can be easy. Work on procuring a collection of clothing that is composed of interchangeable items to maximize the number of outfits that can be created. Include pieces that can multitask! Know which pieces to invest in and shop second hand for trendier pieces. Don't be afraid to add color and texture! 


CAMEL WRAP OVERCOAT

A camel wrap coat is prefect piece of outwear that can be worn over work and evening wear, but can also be used to dress up jeans and a sweater. It's a classic piece that can transition into Winter.

ANIMAL PRINT
An animal print blouse offers the perfect color palette for Fall while still adding a pop. Dress it up or dress it down!

BIKER JACKETS

Biker jackets are the perfect jacket for to keep away the Autumn chill without adding bulk. Choose from genuine leather, faux leather, or vegan leather.

DENIM

You can never have enough denim! Choose a skinny jean for a higher level of sophistication. They're also super easy to tuck into boots!

OVER-SIZED/CHUNKY SWEATER

There is nothing better than an over-sized sweater on a crisp Autumn day! It keeps you warm, makes you feel comfortable, and you can create some awesome outfits!

FASHION SNEAKERS

Fashion sneakers are a new staple for the Fall wardrobe. Think slip on, lace up, colors, high top and/or patterned sneakers that would pair well with jeans or trousers rolled at the cuff. These aren't your gym shoes. Search out a pair that you wouldn't run or work out in.

PLAID BUTTON DOWN

There is so much you can do with a plaid button down shirt besides wearing it with jeans. Mix it with a leather skirt and ankles booties or make your favorite slip dress more casual by tying it around your waist and throwing on moto boots. Wear it under a sweater for an elevated, preppy look.

ANKLE BOOTIES

Ankle boots are the most versatile Fall footwear. Thanks to their flattering style and practical length, booties are a style staple that can suit many looks. They are a great option to wear with jeans, pants, dresses, and jumpsuits. You can choose from flats, wedges, feels, and open-toed! 


As seen on Selena Gomez, Anne Hathaway, and Amy Adams.



ACCESSORIES

Try some new accessories this year. Go for fingerless gloves, gold hoop earrings, and a top knotted headband.

LAYERING BASICS

Put versatile pieces like t-shirts and turtlenecks to work when layering. When layering, stick with one or two color families, but go for a mix of fabric textures. Button-up tops worn over a t-shirt and under  a chunky sweater is a classic Fall look that will keep you cozy on the coldest days! But don't count out basics on their own.  They make for a casual look that offers endless ways of accessorizing!
