Though I’ve always been a summer-loving gal, this year I’ve surprisingly been excited to plunge headfirst into the autumnal ambiance, embracing the changing seasons both in spirit and reality. Sure, in South Florida the shift in seasons might be subtle, but that’s beside the point!
This post is your invitation to explore every facet of your life and infuse them with the crisp new energy of fall. Whether you’re seeking to revamp your routines, discover fun activities for the season, explore wardrobe and beauty updates, or get inspired by moody color palettes for your digital planning or creative endeavors, this guide has got you covered.
Remember to pin these images for later!
How to Have the Perfect Fall Season
Creating a Fall Mood Board

A fall mood board can serve as your visual guide to capturing the essence of the season. Start by gathering images that evoke the feeling of autumn—think warm tones and cozy ambiances, but don’t limit yourself… add anything that sparks your interest!
Use these images to create a collage that you can refer back to for inspiration in your home decor, fashion choices, and creative projects.
Apps like Goodnotes for digital notebooks, or (if you’re looking to spend a little more time away from screens and devices) a physical journal or poster board with magazine cutouts can be great tools for this.
Moody Color Palettes
Infuse your digital planning with rich, earthy tones. Whether you’re designing a new product, posting on social media, updating your blog, or simply organizing your calendar, a fall-inspired color scheme can bring a sense of warmth and creativity to your work.
These color palettes are also great for any kind of crafting or creative hobby, like art journaling or coloring books.
Cozy Up Your Home
Transform your living space into an autumnal haven. Begin with simple touches like adding throw blankets and pillows in warm, inviting colors. Scented candles with notes of cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin can instantly bring the fall atmosphere indoors, or make a stovetop potpourri for a natural way to add scent to your home.
Consider adding natural elements like woven baskets, wooden accents, and dried stems to your decor for a more earthy feel overall. A beautiful ikebana-inspired floral arrangement for your dining table or a wreath on your front door can also make a big impact.
Beauty and Style
Embrace the season’s trends by creating a list of fall outfits you want to style throughout the season. Layering your outfits with cozy sweaters, scarves, and boots is always an easy go-to. But you can also explore thrift shops for tons of great heavier items like knits and fun textures like tweed.
What’s in this fall: suede, leopard and burgundy are the new neutrals, vibe sandwiches, undone and unfussy hair (loose waves, messy braids), french girl lipstick (diffused effortless), skirts with volume, slouchy boho handbags, maximalist accessories (mixing metals, stacked beads and baubles), scarves (satin and skinny), bag charms
Experiment with autumnal colors like burgundy, mustard, and forest green in your makeup and nail polish choices. This is the perfect time to plan a solo date spa night and give yourself a moody manicure.
Things To Do

Start with small changes like swapping out your usual morning coffee for a spiced pumpkin latte or incorporating a cozy evening ritual with a good book and a warm blanket. (If you haven’t set up your fall TBR list, check out these recommendations!)
Consider adjusting your exercise routine to include outdoor activities like hiking or biking to enjoy the cooler weather. Or, if you’re feeling like going into hermit mode instead, invest in a walking pad to help get a bit of movement in throughout your day.
Apart from the day-to-day routine, dive into seasonal fun:
- Visit a local pumpkin patch or apple orchard or host a themed movie night with classic autumn films.
- Try your hand at fall crafts like making wreaths or carving pumpkins.
- Plan your Halloween costume, and try the DIY approach. Check out this mega list of over 30 Halloween looks to spark some inspiration!
- Host a social gathering (Friendsgiving, book club, murder mystery party, etc.) and show off your best charcuterie board skills.
- Try a new soup recipe or bake something from your Pinterest board. I’ll be trying my hand at an apple galette dessert!
Shopping Wishlist
Curate a fall shopping wishlist to ensure you’ve got all the essentials for the season. Here are some of the items I’ll be coveting (and thrifting for!) all season:
- Fashion: oversized trench coat, plaid maxi skirt, chocolate brown pointed toe knee high boots, red slouchy bag, vintage knit tops, and metal hair accessories.
- Home Decor: scented candles in decorative vessels, cozy throw blankets, dried stems, distressed clay vases, and shelf lamp.
- Beauty: chocolate brown eyeshadow palette, and a deep navy blue nail polish.
- Hobbies: DIY embroidery kit for beginners
Music Playlist with Autumnal Vibes
Set the mood with a carefully curated playlist of autumnal tunes. Music can evoke the essence of fall, making your seasonal activities even more enjoyable. Here are some song suggestions to get you started:
- “Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood
- “Autumn Leaves” by Nat King Cole
- “Harvest Moon” by Neil Young
- “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire
- “To Build a Home” by The Cinematic Orchestra
- “Rivers and Roads” by The Head and the Heart
