Ah, Septemberâmy favorite time of year, and also my birthday month (happy Libra season)! There’s something about the transition from summer to fall that always feels like a fresh start. The air is crisper, the colors in Bend start to shift, and that little taste of autumn we get makes everything feel just a bit cozier.
I donât know about you, but this month is when I really start to dig into my closet for those rich neutrals, the textures that just scream âfall.â And, of course, anything that gives me a little extra dose of that Western spirit. September in the high desert brings out my inner cowgirl! Iâm all about embracing the warm tones of camel, muddy oranges, red clay, and warm oak. This is the month where my style feels the most âme,â and Iâm here for it.
The September Edit
Our styles and spaces are always evolving, right? Well, September is the perfect month to lean into those changes. Whether itâs refreshing your wardrobe or swapping out some summer dĂ©cor for pieces that feel a bit more snug and inviting, this edit has everything you need to get inspired for the season ahead. So, letâs dive into the things I think you’ll love this month!
What’s Inspiring Us This September
What’s Inspiring Us This September
This month, I’m all about those warm, inviting tones that give that cozy touch. Benjamin Moore’s “Pomegranate” is absolutely captivating me right now. Itâs a deep, rich red with just the right amount of warmth. If you’re looking to make a statement while still keeping things cozy and welcoming, “Pomegranate” is the way to go.
What I’m Wearing This Month
Letâs talk fashion. September is all about layering, and this monthâs picks speak to comfort … and a little bit of fun!
First up, The Horse Lodge Cardigan. Listen, if you donât have a sweater with a horse (or some kind of playful print) on it for fall, get on it! Seriously, this cardigan is a must-have for cooler days, and itâs got that perfect mix of personality and cozy.
Next, an Embroidered Daisy Bandana. I love throwing a bandana into my accessories lineup. Itâs an easy way to take a basic look and make it feel a bit more personal and elevated. Plus, itâs a nod to that Western vibe that we canât get enough of!
Now, letâs talk about the Lace DĂEN Blouse. This antique-inspired top gives you all the romantic, vintage feels. With its intricate embroidered floral lace, puffed sleeves, and mother-of-pearl buttons, itâs the kind of piece that makes you feel like a million bucks — even if youâre just heading out for coffee.
And of course, I couldnât resist adding a little something for the accessory lovers out there. The Silver and Turquoise Arm Cuff is a dream. If you know me, you know turquoise is my thingâIâm constantly growing my collection. This cuff is perfect for adding a touch of Western flair without having to splurge on the real deal. Oh and Iâm heading to the Pendleton Roundup soon — so stay tuned for some rodeo content if you want to see how I style my jewelry!
Styling Your Home
Fall is the season of coziness, and my home is all about creating that warm, inviting vibe right now.
Here’s how I achieve this: first things first, itâs time to swap out those summer pillows and bedding. Sorry, but the season for lightweight, breezy dĂ©cor is officially over. Iâm loving this pillow coverâitâs got that perfect autumnal pattern that feels rich and inviting. This is an easy way to transition your space into fall.
To finish things off, letâs not forget printed sheets. Thereâs nothing better than slipping into a fresh set of sheets at the end of a long day, especially when theyâve got a subtle, beautiful print that feels both modern and timeless.
An Antique Iron Log Holder is essential for keeping your firewood tidy and off the wet ground, and the rustic wrought iron is a lovely fall material. If you’re into minimalist, sleek designs, this log holder fits the bill perfectly.
Do you love to host cozy, candlelit dinners as the nights get cooler? If so, youâll appreciate these Upholstered Swivel Dining Chairs. Itâs the kind of piece that makes those long, lingering meals feel extra special and elegant.
For those who are all about timeless, traditional style, this Cabinet is a showstopper. Personally, Iâm obsessed with the linen curtains on this piece. Itâs a detail weâre incorporating into the cabinets in our primary room at Tumalo, and I couldnât be more excited about it.
Lastly, the Antique Brass Faucet and Copper Pot are must-haves for adding warm, metallic touches to your kitchen. You’re sure to love the way these materials patina over time, giving them a story thatâs all their own.
Make Space for Art
And, of course, no space is complete without artwork. I’ve recently discovered Steve Wrubel, at an art show here in Bend at Borgo Rosati. His work resonates with me on a whole other level. His love for capturing the rugged essence of the competition at a rodeo and transferring those images to beautiful landscapes is pretty special and unique. This western flair feels so authentic to Bend and its country vibe. Honestly, I want one of his pieces so bad; âSandstoneâ is #1 on my wishlist right now.
