It’s fall and I’m welcoming it with open arms and wallets. The leaves change colors and the temperatures cool which means one thing: my arthritis flares up. I am going to spend a whole lot of time in the house staring at my home decoration. It better reflect the beautiful weather outside!

I already placed a huge order from Pier 1 Imports which, if you are not familiar, has some cute but pricey seasonal items. But, it’s not enough. I want to decorate the entire house because I won’t be spending it all in bed, in my room (that’s what winter is for, right??).

If I want to go overboard and adorn mi casa I have to do so without breaking the bank. Cue Target. I never give Target the fair chance I should because there is no convenient physical store near me and I love shopping in store for seasonal decoration (it puts me even more in the mood). Yesterday, I perused the website and I actually came across a few items I loved. Do these items speak to you too? Good, because they’re not that expensive and are quick simple ways to update your home.

throws Blankets, throws, table runners and linens are the quickest and easiest way to inject fall palettes into your home! My personal favorites: plaid everything, the sequined leaf runner and matching napkins!

1. Threshold™ Oversize Plaid Throw – Grey

2. Plaid Design Throw

3. Metallic Table Runner

4. Striped Table Runner

5. Leaf Runner, Napkins

6. Colorblock Pillow, ‘Gather’ Pillow

 

accentsAccent pieces are also a great way to get into the autumnal spirit. They’re simple, small and noncommittal. And, best of all, they’re easy to move around depending on my mood! My personal favorites: fall just isn’t fall without tiny pumpkins!

7. Patterned Pumpkins

8. Linen Pumpkins

9. White Berry Hurricane

10. Felt Harvest Wreath

Top Three Nail Polishes for Fall | Autumn 2015

Top Three Polishes for Fall | The Rite of AgingMost of the polishes I own are used only for nail art and when it comes to wearing plain nail polish on my fingers I am very fickle. Now that summer is long gone I decided to root around my polish cupboard and pull out my favorite autumnal colors. Below are the three I know I will wear over and over again this fall! Yes, only three!

 

SpaRitual – Howl (2 coats)

SpaRitual Swatch - Howl | The Rite of Aging

Howl is a dark brown with golden shimmer running through it. When the shimmer is prominent it elevates the color to a rich golden brown. The formula is a little thick but it is easy to work with and dries quickly.

 

OPI – Lincoln Park After Dark (2 coats)

OPI Swatch - Lincoln Park After Dark | The Rite of AgingLincoln Park After Dark is a deep almost black oxblood. The color generally looks black but every so often the light hits it and I get a glimpse of the subtle red tint. There is a reason this polish is a cult favorite. It looks great against all skin tones and I feel extremely confident wearing it. There is just something about pulling off a gorgeous dark shade like this. The formula is sheer but three coats covers any bald spots. This polish stains so I always use two bases.

 

Serum No. 5 – Sleepy Holo (2 coats)

Serum No. 5 Swatch - Sleepy Holo | The Rite of AgingSleepy Holo is a stunning deep silver holo. In normal indoor light the silver shimmers  beautifully but in the sun it explodes. The rainbow holo is out of this world (and you can probably see it from there too) and I cannot help but look at my fingers when I wear this.
