Nine Favorite Things
Hey everyone! I hope youโve had a wonderful week. Can you believe weโre heading into the last week of August already? No one really wants to say goodbye to summer, but at the same time, I think so many of us are secretly excited for fall.
I love this stretch from September through December. September especially feels so magical โ the golden light, the trees just beginning to turn, the cooler nights and crisp mornings, and of course, apple season. I could go on and on. Itโs one of my favorite times of year.
And the recipes! Next week Iโll be sharing my list of what to cook all September long, so many cozy, yummy dishes. What are you most excited for?
Itโs shaping up to be a busy month too. Everyone seems to jump back into action in September. Iโll be in Dallas, New York, and maybe even LA. To be honest, Iโm excited but nervous โ a little anxious, a little scared, but mostly happy. It feels good to be working on big-picture goals. Iโm hoping we can figure out how to make it all come together.
In the kitchen, Iโve started testing September recipes and diving into fall content. With apple season nearly here and football season kicking off, I have so many ideas brewing. And yes, Cocktail-Mocktail Saturdays will be back the first week of October! Iโve already been ordering new glasses in preparation.
And lastly, itโs been so fun seeing so many of you share your love for the Pumpkin Smash Candleย and the new Pumpkin Smash Body Butter too! I love that youโre enjoying them as much as I am.
Thatโs all I have this week. So much to look forward to in the next few months! I hope everyone is feeling that excitement!
Tell me โ what recipes are you excited for this September? And what drinks will you be mixing up?
If you need easy back to school recipe, I put together some of my favorite 45 Most Popular Back-to-School Recipes
1. Things iโm Loving.
using non-stopโฆthe Caraway Home food storage set. Itโs so perfect and really cute too, Great for leftovers, food prep, and packing lunches to go!
working outโฆin cute workout clothes! Now that Iโm lifting and working in pilates with Melissa Wood Health on off days, Iโve really become excited about activewear. I want to order new โgym onlyโ sneaks (share suggestions!), so Iโm on the lookout for those. This week I ordered this Airbrush Better Together Bra. These are my favorite Alosoft Leggings + Bootcut Sweatpant. And while I was grabbing these links, I also ended up adding this Sheer Cashmere Cropped Cardigan to my cart. And then decided to go with the entire look, the Grand Slam Tennis Skirt,ย andย Splendor Bra.
ย
wantingโฆthis very prettyย croc-effect leather notebook from Smythson. But is it really worth the price? Targetโs notebooks are cute too. And this is a cute notebook from MAISON de SABRร.
ย
lovingโฆBoll & Branch! I talk about their bedding often, but with fall coming up, I just ordered another down comforter from them. If I had to tell you to order one product from B&B, it would be their down comforter. Itโs my favorite and keeps me so warm on cold Colorado nights.
ย
everything in my cart (low)โฆa very cute and perfect for fall, large tote in suede. Iโd style this with the Free People Most Wanted Cardiย and leather jacket. This is a cute cord pendant necklace. And I ordered this Reformation Lindie Tee in blonde, midnight, and heather grey. I probably should have just grabbed the white too. I love the V-neck!ย
From Zara for fall, a stunning Suede Leather Jacket. But also, this Faux Leather Jacket. Wow, so many good jackets at Zara right now!
The perfect Short Sleeve Knit Sweater and Basic Cashmere and Wool Sweater. Plus, I love this Plain Knit Polo Sweater and Short Sleeve Knit Polo Top too.
My ideal Leather Bag for fall and pretty Leather Kitten Heel Boots.
And lastly, this Denim Jacket and Denim Crossover Button Skort set. So cute with a Suede Kitten Heel or the boots above.
ย
listening toโฆWhat It Really Takes To Build a Successful Brand & Business โ From Scratch To Scale With Michael Bosstick.
eatingโฆfresh figs. Itโs finally fig season! Our Whole Foods received fresh figs this week and I canโt stop eating them. I mostly just eat them as is, but Iโm thinking about making a Fig Bourbon Cider Smash for a Saturday night cocktail. Or maybe just adding them to my favorite harvest apple salad.
orderedโฆcinnamon sticks. I always stock up on these fancier cinnamon sticks before they sell out. I love using them for cupcakes, my Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Latte, or to mix up my favorite fall cocktails.
bookmarkingโฆ8 Hotels in Italy and a Packing List for Each Spot. Saving this for our Italy trip this winter.
dreaming of goingโฆSan Ysidro Ranch. The prettiest boutique hotel in Santa Barbara. I want to do a weekend here. Iโve never been to Santa Barbara. I would love the Lilac cottage. So cute and sweet! Or the Terrace cottage. How pretty!! Iโm excited, and I donโt even have anything planned!ย
lovingโฆthe Studio McGee Halloween home tour. They shared their decked-out house for Halloween so early this season, but it has me so excited. How cute! Do you decorate for Halloween or just fall in general? Studio McGee has a line of Halloween decor that is super cute. Iโm also sharing some below!
shoppingโฆthe new Staud jean collection. I love theย Leo jean in vintage wash.
playingโฆMonopoly Deal. Have you guys played this yet? Itโs basically a quicker Monopoly that you can bring anywhere you go. Fun fact, I love board games, puzzles, and while I donโt know many card games, Iโm sure they are fun too!
ย
everything in my cart (beauty)โฆYOU GUYS! I got the Rare Beautyย Rare Eau de Parfum with Vanilla and Caramel, and it is so sweet and delicious. A perfect fall scent with the caramel and vanilla notes. Itโs a wonderful, warm, and spicy scent.
very curious aboutโฆthis HigherDOSE Red Light Hat for hair vitality. I mean, why wouldnโt you give this a try? Easy to use, and you donโt have to do anything. Cool! Also, the microcurrent body sculptor. This is a lymphatic drainage tool, which Iโm ALL for. But to be honest, I donโt think I could take the time to commit to doing it nightly. I dry brush every night using this brush, but this would be yet another step! Probably too much, but maybe if youโre doing a weekend โeverythingโ shower! Hereโs an article with tips!
ย
pre-orderedโฆNew Again: 100+ projects and ideas to reimagine your furniture and decor. This book looks super cute. Full of DIY projects and crafts, and it looks like it has lots of photos too. My kind of book!
ย
everything in my cart (high)โฆthis off-the-shoulder crinkled-organza maxi dress would be pretty for a fall wedding.
This is my favoriteย รTERNE Boyfriend cashmere T-shirt. I have it in black and off-white. I need to order a new set for fall.
This is a prettyย scoopneck dress in midnight or bubble bath. Layer this with a jacket for chilly days. Speaking of fall dresses, thisย Suede Maxi Dress is stunning and a perfect dress for autumn nights. And the color of thisย Sleeveless Silk Mini Dress from Khaite is perfect. Pair with this Wedge Mule from Fendi.
If youโre looking for something long-sleeved, theย Draped Cape Maxi Dress from Bottega is perfect.ย The yellow shade is so great!
Oh, these Suede Shorts in Burgundy are cute too. Just add the matching Suede Cargo Jacket and tall boots.

Why donโt you let any of the comments through that come later in the week? It seems after 2-3 days you stop letting any through. Thatโs frustrating. Feels like a waste of time to read your blog and share commentary if youโre going to ignore them.
Hi Mira! Iโm sorry it feels that way! I really do read and value every comment, no matter when it comes in. Sometimes it just takes me a little longer to get to them. If there was a specific question you had that didnโt get answered, will you let me know? Iโd love to make sure youโre not left hanging! xT
Really good NFT! You never disappoint!
That Studio McGee Halloween decor is EXACTLY what Iโve been looking for โ upscale spooky. More elegant than cutesy.
That Marinated Cherry Tomatoes with Burrata is absolutely going up to the mountains with me this coming weekend! Thanks for mentioning the Fig Bourbon Cider Smash cocktail and the Fall Apple Salad โ think Iโll take them to the mountains too. BTWโฆ I think a Fig Bourbon Cider Smash candle sounds incredible. Imho.
Loving the cooler weather and looking forward to seeing what Team HBH has up their sleeve for fall.
Keep being awesome!
Hi Nancie! Love hearing this!! Upscale spooky is exactly the vibe, and Iโm so glad you found some favorites to take with you to the mountains, sounds like the perfect fall weekend. A Fig Bourbon Cider Smash candle would be amazing (now I want one too!). Thanks so much for following along and for all the kind words, so sweet of you! xT
If you donโt watch football why are you always mentioning football season and game day? People would probably be more interested in hearing you talk about things youโre actually into.
Hey Kai! I love the comfort and the fun the football season brings each year!! Footballs means fall is here, fun game nights with my family, good food, I love it!
Hope you have had a great Tuesday! Thanks for the comment! xT
Sign me up!!!
When is the August photo shoot you have scheduled? Would love to hear more about your plans!
Hi Lizzie! More details on photoshoots and travels coming soon! Thanks so much for reading, have a great week! xT
Did it get rescheduled? Sorry for the double post, but I donโt see my question!
Hi Lizzie! Just sorting out some scheduling details but will keep you all posted on my travels/projects! ๐ xT
Can you explain โask Tieghanโ a little bit more? Is this for asking specific types of questions or is it for any questions we may have? Just trying to understand when I need to start my questions with that.
Hey Lisa! You can ask me anything here! Whatever you are curious about!
If itโs in regards to this post and something I shared within the content, you can just ask that like normal. I will always answer!!
Does this make sense? Hope you think this is a fun feature!!
Have a good week! xT
Hi Tieghan! Glad to see youโre getting back to work and that your foot has healed. Iโve sprained my ankle before and it was rough.
I noticed you didnโt mention Asherโs birthday this year! Are you guys not as close anymore since sheโs been spending most of her time with her SILs? Relationships change over time, for sure. Either wayโ happy birthday, Asher!! Hope she has the best day.
Hey Kelly! You are so sweet, thank you!
Asher and I talk almost every night! She still my best friend! Love that girl!
She doesnโt know what she wants to do for her birthday this year. Weโll have a fun night or day I am sure!!
Have a good week! xT
Just wanted to tell you how much my husband and I loved your Garlic Butter Creamed Corn Chicken! It was so delicious! One of my favorites!
Aw thank you so much Patti! Love to hear that you and your husband are enjoying the recipes! Have a great week, and thanks again! ๐ xT
Boll & Branch is IT for bedding.
Hey Nancy! I agree! I really love their stuff! ๐ xT
โ I want to order new โgym onlyโ sneaks (share suggestions!), so Iโm on the lookout for those.โ
Youโve shared quite a few pairs of sneakers almost weekly since you hurt your foot โ none of those will work?
Hey Diane! I ordered a few pairs and didnโt love them so I am still looking! I did love a Nike sneaker and have been wearing those however! They are great!!
I shared last week! Super cute too!
Have a great week ahead! xT
I went to fleet feet and had my feet analyzed for running shoes and came back with diadoras which I now adore. I had never heard of the brand before but now I love them. they are really supportive! But maybe going to fleet feet or somewhere similar could help finding the right pair!
Thanks so much for sharing this suggestion, Hannah! What a great idea!
Okay that suede maxi dress is GORGEOUS. But at $5000+, I think itโs a bit more than โa perfect dress for autumn nightsโ. Iโm not sure many people that could afford that just for fun. Iโm my sisters matin of honor for her wedding next month and I canโt even justify that price for that event. โฆit is beautiful though
Hey Deb! I know itโs so pretty! I will try and find something similar! If I find something good I will share it next week!
Your sisters wedding sounds fun! Congrats!
Have a nice week! xT
All these clothes youโre always ordering, how come we never see you wearing them? Why donโt you do try-on videos or OOTD posts? If youโre always in sweats working in the kitchen then why order new clothes?
Hey Caitlin! I order new clothes typically for trips! And when I travel I always do my best to share my outfits too!
I have been ordering new activewear for workouts! Been having a lot of fun with that! I shared a few pieces in todayโs post.
Have a great week!! xT
I make a blue, Gruyรจre, mozzarella cheese with caramelized fig and onion jam, fresh fig, thyme pizza during fig season.
Oh wow that sounds incredible! Have an amazing week Anne! ๐ xT
