Looking for beautiful fall entertaining ideas? This fall harvest dinner party is an easy but elegant way to celebrate the bounty of the season.
One of my favorite times of year to entertain is in the fall. It’s not as casual as the summer, but it’s also not as fancy and involved as the holiday season. It’s relaxed without being too laid back, and the bounty of the season makes for a perfect night of food and wine.

Hi friends and happy Friday – it’s officially fall!! It’s been a busy week over here, with several fall posts being planned and shot which has meant lots of fall decorating!
Looking for fall kitchen decorating ideas? We’re adding touches of fall color along with lots of texture for the perfect touch of autumn warmth.
The kitchen is typically the first place I start with my seasonal decor. I love fall, and we spend so much time in here, so why not bring in the textures and colors of the season?

It’s finally feeling like fall here and I’m telling you, I’m giddy! I haven’t run the A/C all week and today I had all the windows open and ate lunch outside – my favorite kind of day. 🙂
This Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is light and delicious, and full of fresh banana flavor. Perfect for a snack or dessert!
Fall is definitely the season of baking. Just the mention of fall has me busting out the mixer!
But who wants to slave over a hot oven during a pretty fall day? I love dessert, but I also love simple, and this banana cake is exactly that. It’s light and delicious and easy to throw together. As perfect for an after school snack as it is for a dinner party!

After weeks of sweltering heat we’re finally supposed to get some nice weather this weekend – yay for fall! I’ve been removing the last of the summer decor and I started to add a few early fall touches and it’s made me so ready! Plus I’m excited to share what I’m doing with you – hopefully I’ll be finished next week. 🙂
And now let’s talk Friday Favorites – I’ve got lots of fun finds to share with you!
This is a perfect lake house: full of character and cozy texture!
I’ve been strategizing my fall decor plan over the last week and have settled on doing very faded rusts and sage greens along with lots of added woods and texture. You guys know I love to mix high and low so I’ve ordered a few inexpensive pillows hoping to combine them with the pricier ones. I’m totally crushing on this plaid and this adorable floral and this Studio McGee one is super cute, too!
Oh, and my amazing find this week: these wood vessels on Amazon (2 sizes)!! Who knew?! They are vintage and around half what they sell for on Etsy!
One of the things I’ve been wanting to replace for awhile now is our doormat – a small thing but it matters since it’s the first thing you see when you arrive! This one is so pretty and has a more European feel (on sale), love the texture of this one (plus, it comes in 2 sizes), and this seasonal one is adorable and such a great price for the size!
On another note, I’ve also been wanting to get a new living room coffee table and typical of me, I’ve spent months looking! I love the look of this one, but I’m hoping to find something that’s more affordable. This one is attractive and this one is a steal! Another option I’m batting around is the idea of a pretty ottoman – love this French one (and the price is right!)
As soon as fall arrives I’m all about sweaters and sweater-y things!! I’m especially fond of cable-knit – they’re so classic and cozy looking. This cardigan is gorgeous as is this version (those wood buttons!), and this longer one is cute, too. Love the slightly shorter version of this classic cashmere crewneck, and these merino wool sweaters are on sale and have the yummiest colors (especially fond of the olive green)!
Favorite fun finds of the week: this super chic chunky chain bracelet as well as this pretty suede belt. And this turtleneck which is a steal!
And your favorites last month were these chic-but-cheap wide legged jeans (just got mine and love them!), this classic cashmere wrap (above) along with this similar but less expensive wool poncho.
Have you guys watched the Paul Newman/Joanne Woodward documentary, The Last Movie Stars? It’s sooo good!! It’s fascinating to learn so much about them and their amazing lives. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.
I love apples in savory dishes, like this Pork Chops with Apples & Onions and this Honey-Mustard Chicken & Apples. And this Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Crispy Prosciutto recipe (above) looks amazing!!
