guide to the softest, coziest fall

don’t get me wrong, i do love summer, but fall is when i come alive. it feels like a fresh start. it’s when i feel the most myself. in the words Virginia Woolf, autumn is the season of the soul. it’s slow and warm and cozy. it’s pretty. i love when the leaves change color and the air feels crisp. i love wearing a cozy sweater or being wrapped up in a blanket. i love fall fashion — its truly my favorite time to get dressed. i love fall activities — like going to the pumpkin patch or apple orchard or for a fall hike. but i also love staying in. cozying up on the couch and reading or watching a movie or crafting. i love football sundays. i love cooking and baking fall recipes. i love a pumpkin drink — sue me. i just love the energy fall brings.
