Right now it's 70 degrees and sunny ... This is fall in Florida.

i cannot complain.

but a part of me aches for true fall weather this time of year.

cold enough for me to warrant some hot spice tea without turning my a.c. waaay down.  

But lucky for me, I've been able to visit/live in some amazing places during the fall in the past few years. 

Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

Two years ago we went up to Connecticut for a wedding during Fall.

It was so gorgeous.  I ooohed and awwed the whole time.

Ever since then when I think of Fall, I often think of that lovely weekend in Old Saybrook, CT.

Other favorite fall destinations:  

Oxford, Mississippi

windsor, canada

... of course you can't see how gorgeous it is. here but i do miss wearing a coat (:

Lake Titisee, Germany

Alsace in France

If I'm being completely honest, my all time favorite place for fall has been:

Switzerland

Thanks for having me Girls!

Where's your favorite place to experience Fall?

Fall Favorites Series: Lumbar Pillow DIY from Elm Street Life

Today for your "fall favorites" pleasure-
We have Whitney with a supra comfy DIY for you! 
Be prepared to be impressed and fall in love with her ridiculous talent! We're inspired and encouraged every stinkin' time we read this chika's blog and we know you will be too...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone! My name is Whitney and I blog at Elm Street Life. I am so excited to be posting on Etta Grace today, and I hope you love this really simple DIY project as much as I loved creating it! This project is so perfect for these cozy fall and winter months, or it would make a sweet gift.

Let's get started...

I found this sweater at Goodwill and I have a feeling if you hopped into about any thrift store or Salvation Army, you could find one too. And in this case, the bigger the better!

And that's it! I told you it was easy!! The lumbar pillow I used measures approximately 15" x 25" so it's pretty large, but you could definitely use a smaller pillow too. You'd just need to cut down the sides for it to fit a little more snug.

I hope you have fun making your home just a little more warm and cozy like I did. Thanks so much for having me!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wowza! Think of the possibilities!

Thanks Whit-

Racha and Hansie

Fall Favorites Series: Lindsey the BFF.

Ooooh-eeee! Have we got a treat for you! Hansie's bff from high school is stopping in with her  favorite trick to spice up your wardrobe this fall!

Hello blog and Etta Grace lovers, I am one too!

Iʼm Lindsey, Hansieʼs bestie from way back when we were awkward and fashion challenged like
all 14 year old girls.
Yuck!
Since then, we have grown through the pages of In Style and Vogue together.
And the occasional J. Crew catalog and Anthro visit.

Now Hansie makes fashion and I sell it,
we laugh in the face of photos from 1996 with Dr. Martinʼs and Abercrombie sweaters.
Although in the moment I am sure we were cute, duh!

Hans and Rach asked me to guest blog on my favorite fall fashion tip.
For fall, and really any season, I love patterns and prints.

Right now my must have and go to is LEOPARD!!!!!!!
Let me tell you leopard is the new nude.

Wear it anywhere.
Shoes...belt...cardigan...jacket...blouse.
Here is how I do it.
Anytime you are piecing together an outfit and you reach for that ivory, tan, or beige piece

Flippity floppity it out!

I promise you leopard will do the trick every time...

Even better, you will walk out the door feeling in trend and not over stated!

Thanks for letting me stop by!

Rwar,
Lindsey

Fall Favorites: Guest Post from Liz of "Cotton & Curls"

Oooh Lovelies... have we got something special for you today!
The beautiful, creative and all around talented Liz from Cotton and Curls is here today to talk about her Fall Favorites and we are so so so stinkin' excited!

Hey Etta Grace readers! I'm Liz from Cotton and Curls and I was asked to post about my fall favorites…and really I could go on forever because fall IS my favorite season! Why you ask? Well, if I had to pick just 3 reasons, which would be very hard to do, they would be the holidays (mmmm, looooove costumes, scary movies and family reunions), the changing leaves with it's cooler weather, and mostly, of course, the fashion! I will always and forever look forward to fall fashion. I get to layer and layer and layer the colder it gets, its wonderful! I have yet to see China cool down, it is actually perfect and in the 70s, but I'm slowly pulling out the sweaters, stockings, blazers, long sleeved button ups, and maxis more and more everyday. And when crisp fall weather finally makes its appearance here, I will know exactly what I want to wear, and it perfectly coincides with telling you guys my favorite fashion trends this fall! 

I'm LOVING the outwear this season with its the capes, ponchos, nautical buttoned blazers adorned with fur, elbow patches, tassels, fun buttons, and more. I love the tall sexy, yet sophisticated boots and wedged heels that make an outfit so stylin'. And I'm mostly in love with the colors this fall...oh the beautiful colors! Growing up I always felt that bright fun colors were only left to be worn in spring and summer. Its liberating! I can wear almost whatever I want! Wahoo!

And more than I love to wear fall fashion, I love to sew it! Like this scarf and box pleat paper bag skirt. The endless possibilities! Oh my oh my do I love everything about the fall!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks so much Liz!

We're so inspired with all that fashion! Just might have to sew something fall-ish this weekend!

Hugs,
Hansie & Rachie Pooh

Fall Favorites Series: Guest Post from Bex... a style diary.

Oooh Lovelies, have we got a treat for you!

One our favorites is here today to tell you all about what she's loving in fall fashion right now!

Bex, is completely fabulous and we just love her to pieces!

So without further ado... meet ca-ute as a button Bex.

hello lovely ladies {and random gents} my name is bex and

 i'm the author of the blog- bex... a style diary.

i absolutely enjoy blogging for many reasons but quite possibly 

my most favorite is being introduced to so many amazing & creative women.

ala the lovely hosts of etta grace, seriously these ladies are amazing!

when they asked me to be a part of this fall favorites thursday series i 

was so excited and honored that they would let me share on their pages. 

so without further ado i bring you my fall favorite outfit. 

everything i'm loving about fall can be summed up in this one outfit.

allow me to dissect it and explain. 

1.} fur: fur is back for fall and i am addicted to it! 

since i live in the desert the sleeveless vest allows me to 

participate in the trend without being too hot.

2.} romantic dress: this full dress plays into the strong 

romantic 70s hippie vibe of some of falls fashions.

3.} bangles: an arm full of bangles and cuffs makes me feel so creative.

whats nice about this trend is you can wear a ton or a few, whatever you prefer.

just remember its all about the bracelet this fall.

4.} ankle bootie: the ankle bootie is back in force this season.

these lil darlings are fantastic to pair with dresses and skirts 

as well as shorts and pants. they go with everything!

a soft gray suede is a must have for fall. 

5.} a colored pout: brightly colored lips are such a fun way

to incorporate the color punch trend of fall. 

remember to keep the rest of your face very plain.

some concealer and mascara is all you need when wearing a strong lip. 

i had so much fun sharing with you today.

enjoy your fall and remember to have fun and treasure the loveliness of it all.

drink lots of apple cider & pumpkin lattes. 

it is truly a blessing to be alive.
