Leopard is no longer synonymous with the cougars of the Real Housewives. The classic animal print is this season's go-to pattern. It works best in small doses--think belt, scarf, clutch, heels--but if you're brave enough, why not wear it as a jacket or skirt? And if you're really feeling adventurous, try mixing your prints--leopard and stripes are a fresh combo.

A new crop of flowers have arrived at Pineapple Street, just in time for creating your Thanksgiving table centre piece or grabbing your hostess gift! Sold by the stem--you can create your own arrangement, or have them arranged for you. How perfectly Fall are those orange Daisies?
Burnt oranges and deep hues of red are quintessentially Fall. However, I thought it would be fun to look outside the norm and find inspiration in these non-traditional Thanksgiving tables capes. After all--purples, greens, blues and golds might be better suited to your home's pre-existing decor and china. Working with what you already have, will create a more cohesive and complimentary table design.

This weekend, I decided to tackle my entryway. My summer hanging baskets and pots were dead, my door mat was sad and the interior and exterior door paint was chipped and faded. It was time for a Fall refresh! For roughly $200, I was pretty pleased with my mini-makeover.

Does the school schedule ever officially leave your brain? Like clockwork, August 1st rolled around, and I immediately started to fret--the Summer is almost over; I haven't been to the beach; I don't have a tan; I didn't paint that old dresser. Then comes Labour Day--I woke up in a sweat after I dreamt I was lost in an old school looking for my "office."
The positive? September still feels like the start to a new year, without the stress of actually having to go back to school. So after reading this blog post, I decided to fully embrace Fall--I have been brainstorming and planning some exciting workshops and events at Penney & Co.; I went shopping, finding some (many) fall wardrobe essentials; I've started getting up earlier to exercise before work; and I am planning a spa getaway with my girlfriends. So instead of thinking of September as the evil and imminent prelude to school and the winter season, I am trying my best see it as an excuse to start fresh.
What are you doing to fight the end-of-Summer blues?
