It's about this time of year that I start looking ahead to fall. I know, I know, it's the height of summer (and I've been enjoying most of it at the beach!) but as soon as August hits, I can't help but think September is not far behind. Back to school sales have already started and that alone has put me in a fall decorating state of mind. I love sales so it didn't take me much convincing ;)

I don't do much heavy decorating for fall. I try to bring in more layers, add things with texture, and use accessories with a darker palette, but I don't feel it's really necessary to buy lots more stuff just to get that fall feeling. A quick way to add instant cozy is just to change out your summery stripe and cotton cushion covers for ones in velvet, wool, and heavier canvas.

I was just shopping the H&M Home sales (this pillow came home with me) and spotted these lovelies that are the perfect way to transition your home from summer to fall.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12

By the looks of it, I'm really feeling grey-green, taupes and plum colours for fall.

How about you... have you given a thought to fall decorating? Or is too hot where you are to think about anything but summer??
