A Fresh Chapter: What’s Inspiring Me This September
There’s something about September that always feels like a reset button. The air shifts ever so slightly, the light takes on that golden tone, and I find myself craving fresh starts in every area of life — from what I’m wearing, to the little things I’m bringing into our home. This month, I’m leaning into cozy routines, coastal touches, and a few pieces that remind me of the joy of slowing down and savoring the season.
A Fresh Chapter: What’s Inspiring Me This September
1. Coastal Blues for the Home
I’ve been decorating with the prettiest Lily of the Valley pillow covers — the loveliest coastal cottage print in shades of blue and white. Whether styled on our bed, tucked into a side chair in the living room, or layered in a cozy bedroom corner, they instantly add a fresh coastal touch. Little swaps like this always spark my creativity when it comes to decorating.
2. Early Fall Wardrobe Refresh
September is the perfect month for transitional dressing. I’ve been reaching for slim wide-leg jeans and pairing them with cozy sweaters, woven ballet flats, and classic totes (seen here). These looks still feel breezy enough for warm Miami days but hint at fall with richer textures and earthy colors.
3. Simple Joys at Home
This is also the month I love creating a little coffee station on the counter — a tray with my favorite cozy mugs, and a fall candle flickering nearby. It instantly makes mornings feel special and is such an easy way to bring that Nancy Meyers-inspired coziness into the kitchen. Another update that’s been bringing joy is our new bed frame. Just the switch alone has made such a difference in how we sleep — it honestly makes us feel like we’re on vacation, so naturally we’ve been sleeping better. I can’t wait to order a new mattress to make it even more heavenly.
4. Seasonal Rituals
I’m setting aside more time for reading in the evenings, long walks with Goldie, and trying new fall recipes. My husband already made his delicious chicken tortilla soup (recipe here), which has quickly become a September favorite around here. These little rituals make the month feel full and memorable, even before the holidays begin.
