Katie's Fall Picks
Fall in the South is a fabulous time when temperatures start to cool off, and pumpkins and apple bobbing starts to pick up. With the relief from the heat comes a great time of year to get outside and enjoy activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. Or if those aren’t your cup of tea, it is always great to wander through a pumpkin patch sipping a pumpkin spiced latte. Here are some of my favorite finds you'll find in my home this Fall!
Holiday Cheer
Lemondaisy Design Pumpkins
The large plastic pumpkins feature hand-painted coastal designs and are perfect for a poolside or front-porch from Halloween through Thanksgiving. Bring a little coastal cheer to your house year after year!

Fancy Fan Collection from Taylor Reese
I am so impressed with the variation of colors and styles by this talented jewelry designer. It can be challenging to find gameday gear that fits into your wardrobe! From bracelet stacks that celebrate Samford to SMU, everyone will find fabulous pieces to choose from. The motto on her website says it all: “There’s no place like your alma mater.” Pictured: Pre-Game Beaded Hoops
Cool Camo
The Cordoba Shirt by Poncho
This shirt is lightweight and breathable for those hot days on the dove field. It has a UPF of 50+ and dries in minutes. It is even made of anti-odor fabric and comes with a built-in lens cloth to get the dust off your glasses. Any man (including my husband) would be happy to live in this shirt.

Hammit Clear Game Day Purse
Gone are the days when you could bring any bag with you to the SEC championship. Almost every stadium and venue requires clear purses now. The Hammitt Tony SML style crossbody bag comes in a variety of colors so you can show your school spirit. Or, you can go with a basic black to match any attire.
a taste of the south
Southern Straws Cheese Straws
These delicious treats are a staple in our house, the perfect appetizer alone or on a charcuterie board at any get-together. Set them out, and I promise, they will be gone by dinnertime. This mother-son duo make their straws in small batches the ol'-fashioned way! Find them in more than 450 boutiques, Piggly Wiggly stores, or order online.
holiday cheer
Mollie Jenkins Pottery Ghosts
Mollie created these ghost sculptures back in 2013, and they have been a huge hit ever since. Available in 4 sizes, I love to group them and add a tea light at night. Perfect for any mantle or small space where you want to add a little Halloween happy!
self-care
Slip Silk Pillowcase
Silk pillowcases are all the rage, and the Slipsilk pillowcase is the best! Slipsilk has been tested by an independent lab and shown to reduce hair friction (who wants to wake up with frizzy hair) and lessen absorption of every Southern girl's beloved overnight face cream.
bye bye smelly shoes

grill must-haves
Hulisen Grill Caddy
Every tailgate should have one of these. The grill caddy is not just for grilling. It can be used at any picnic or at your favorite football gathering. It has a place for paper towels, condiments, paper plates, and plastic utensils.
travel must-have
Nori Steam Iron
When you don’t want to get out the heavy iron or when you are traveling and still want to look put together, pull out the Nori Steam Iron. The iron looks like a hair flat iron, but its head has the shape of a small clothes iron. It’s easy to use and easy to pack in your suitcase.
