20 Things I Treasure in Autumn
I came across a wonderful list of things to love about autumn over on The Inspired Room and I couldn’t resist doing a list of my own. Having supplanted summer, autumn is my favorite season. I still love the long, lazy days of summer but the crisp, fresh energy of fall is unbeatable. Especially in New York.
Autumn in New York is a whole vibe and it’s easily the best time of the year. And even though we’re just coming out of a September heat wave, here’s my list of autumn favorites.
Life starts all over again, when it gets crisp in the fall.

- Leisurely walks in the park and people watching from a cafe.
- Snugly sweaters with my favorite jeans that are long enough to allow me my one summertime holdover, flip flops.
- Homemade sweet potato pie.
- Taking a day trip to see the leaves change.
- Childhood memories of family trips to Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
- Delicious red wine.
- Apple picking.
- An abundance of good hair days.
- Crisp breezes.
- Warm apple pie a la mode.
- New stationery and starting fresh.
- Carving pumpkins with my ducklings.
- Cozy socks to putter around the house.
- My extra fluffy down comforter.
- Hot chocolate with whipped cream.
- Boots and blazers. Actually fall fashion in general. So many options!
- Halloween costumes. More watching, less wearing.
- Re-watching You’ve Got Mail because it perfectly captures autumn in New York.
- Fall flavors. Apple and cinnamon are top tier, and in my humble opinion, are far superior to pumpkin.
If you’re feeling inspired, go ahead and create a list of your own. Autumn is awesome!
If a year was tucked into a clock, then autumn would be the magic hour.

Cannot WAIT for the final season of Scandal!
I do miss the changing of the leaves. Wish I had that in LA!
I know what you mean. Maybe take a weekend trip once the leaves start so you can get a little bit of Autumn!
Thanks! I’m glad you like it. I’m in NYC and we’re just starting to get consistently cool weather but I’m still wearing my flip flops!!
Hi ~ just stopping by to see your blog because I saw you used the same tutorial I did to fix mine. I love the dark gray background you’ve used – looks great.
I don’t know where you live, but I’d like to be there if days are cool and crisp and you can start wearing sweaters and having fires in the fireplace.
Enjoy Autumn
