Last week Ethan walked in the door from school, I’d been burning my pumpkin spice candle all day, and when he came in he said, “Oooh, yum! It’s smells like fall in here. I love when the house smells like this!”
It made my heart want to burst. Smell has always been my thing. You know that old country song, “The song remembers when?” For me, that’s how smell is. My old shampoo takes me right back to college, my husband’s cologne is home and a thousand happy memories, and don’t even get me started on the fabric softener I used when my kids were babies… I love the way a smell bring back memories, takes me back to places I’ve been. I love that it can transport you to a happy time and place.
I don’t know about you, but this time of year I pretty much want all the pumpkin spice things. From pumpkin pie blizzards to my favorite candle, if it’s pumpkin spice anything, you can sign me up. When I smell pumpkin spice, I suddenly feel like I’ve got a book and a cup of cocoa sitting by the fire reading, or picking apples at an orchard, or riding on a hayride to a pumpkin patch, or walking on a sidewalk under a canopy of golden leaves… Fall is my absolute favorite, and to me, pumpkin spice is fall.
I thought it would be fun today to gather a bunch of fun things to wear, smell and eat in everyone’s favorite flavor this time of year… You can find them below.
Enjoy! (literally.)
This color is gorgeous and perfect for Fall! Your pleated dress looks amazing on you!
thank you Rach! So nice!
This is so neat! What a great run down! I agree – pumpkin spice everything this time of year!
Thanks! I seriously cannot get enough of it.
Cori, I really enjoy your blog. I am curious to see your opinion on how the BP Cognac booties have held up? I bought the taupe pair last year and love them. I want to add the cognac pair this fall, the reviews haven’t been that great.
Thank you!

Hi Serah, first off, thank you! I appreciate your kind words and thank you for reading! I personally have loved mine. I have them in two colors and I find them to be so comfortable (and I have wide feet so it’s hard for me to find comfy shoes) and I feel like they are still so pretty. I always get compliments when I wear them. And a year later they’re still holding up great. Hope this helps!
Yes!! Seals the deal for me! I have looked several other places and cannot find another bootie that I like as well. Can’t wait to get them!
Absolutely love the way you match everything!
