Fabulous Fall Finds: Peppermint Bliss


This week's Fabulous Finds are coming straight from Chicago...please welcome Bailey of Peppermint Bliss!  A designer, newlywed and really fun blogger, I love reading her fresh take on everything from pop culture to window treatments.


 ~*~

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. Everyone gets so excited about Spring, and after my first Chicago winter, I did too, but to me Fall is the most romantic, energizing- and stylish time of year. It is that back to school excitement. The first crispness in the air, and realizing that sometimes a chunky sweater is way sexier than a bikini. Even Summer Love would be nothing without the threat of the upcoming Fall. Fall is apples, and Dawsons Creek, and Jenny and Oliver Barret, and outdoor fires.


I got married this September in Aspen, and I am sure that will only make my romance with the Fall all the more passionate…

      {My Bridesmaids in their Fall Foliage splendor}
I hope you enjoy my picks!

Plaid:

 


                                                                         

It’s just so preppy and classic and cozy!


Farm Life:

Fall also makes me crave country life, I can barely stand to visit the EmersonMade store/blog without being tempted to pack it all up for my own little slice of farm life. 


It doesn’t hurt the fantasy that their clothes are the cutest fall items around, either.



Capes:


Lauren Moffat has some very cute items that take me back to my boarding school days.  I’m still uncertain as to whether or not I could ever pull this look off, but I very much would like to.

                                                                   


Skin:


Just because summer is over doesn't mean you can neglect your skin! Fall is just the first hint of the violent abuse winter wreaks on my sensitive dermy.  Fresh Body Scrub- Discovered this in prepping for the wedding, like a fabulous pedi for the whole bod!
 Finish up with Frederic Fekkai Shea Butter…And I mean…Silky soft glowy dewy baby-bottom skin.



Now that I'm a Sadie Sadie, Married Lady I think I must take better care of my paws.  I'm really loving OPI’s Ski Teal We Drop for my next mani!

Cocktails:


I love myself a seasonal cocktail, and besides being the prettiest bottles around…St. Germain, makes some delightful Fall Bevies


I hope you all enjoyed my Fall finds, and that you have some fun weekend plans full of frolicking and apple picking and crisp Fall delights!

Have to agree with Bailey on everything - especially the fall fashions! Nothing better than wrapping yourself up in a cozy sweater or cape. Love the pictures of her Aspen wedding... so romantic!

Gosh, you show me why you love autumn ! :)
I am uberly agree with you.

CJ said...

Bailey, totally agree with you! Autumn is my favorite time of year, and like you, I also got married in my favorite season, September 20th to be exact. Just one more thing to love about the Fall!

Bethany Dirksen said...

I was married in June because I had to (waiting until after we graduated college, but had to do it before we moved cross country). I so wish I could have had a fall or winter wedding. I find them to be immensely more romantic than summer.

Great finds to accompany your feelings!

I love your list! I too would like to chuck it all and move to the country and wear plaid capes.

Lynda @ Happenstance Home said...

Very fun picks. I have been really drawn to moving to the country. On the way to my son's school each morning we pass a new barn that is being built. I really want a barn, some hens, alpaca's. Maybe someday! Great capes and polish too!

I love so much here!! Your bridesmaid's dresses for starters - beautiful.

But the Lauren Moffatt pieces are just wonderful, too. And Brown Sugar Body Polish is a staple. I can't remember life without it :)

xoxo,

Gretchen O. said...

In total agreement...from the plaid to emersonmade to the brown sugar body polish! Wish the weather would cooperate and get out of the 80's. --Gretchen O.

Marcus Design said...

This list is awesome! I am a sucker for dark nail colors for fall/winter so I think I need to run out and get that OPI shade!

your wedding was AMAZING!! love your fall finds, plaid is def on my list.

Megan {Honey We're Home} said...

That outdoor wedding picture is so great! How beautiful!

Sanity Fair said...

The plaid is SO cute - I especially love the bed throw. I want to wear plaid this season, but it's difficult to do it and not feel like a Christmas package. Or a Scottish dancer. :)

CDS said...

I could not agree with you more. Fall is the best! ALthough I'm in Miami...to me its a reminder of being in college and going to football games, or visiting friends in New England and seeing the fall foliage...we got married in the fall too! It's the best...and this fall we are having our baby...so its a very special time of year...and the vlothes are the best. xo
