🍂 Why do leaves fall in Autumn?
Some trees shed their foliage to protect themselves from dark and cold winter. Getting rid of the leaves is a way to prevent the tree from pilling up on the snow and saves energy because the tree won’t have to feed the leaves. Nature is so perfect! Source: Britannica.com

🍂 Why Do Leaves Change Colors in the Fall?
The change of color is part of the tree’s defense mechanism to drop the foliage and survive Winter darkness. It begins with the tree interrupting the production of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for turning the leaves green and making photosynthesis. As the green goes away, it shows the mesmerizing red, yellow, and orange shades before the leaves fall completely. Source: Britannica.com

Whether the Barbie movie spiked your soul or you are connected with your girly side, pink Fall decor is a gamechanger.
How To Set The Mood For Fall
Prepping the house for Autumn is a way to prepare our bodies, soul, and minds for the major shift in light and temperature, as our ancestors had to do for centuries. It’s as if we were faking nature’s change and helping our bodies adapt to the change. That’s why we take so much joy in preparing for a new season. We want to follow nature’s rhythm, even unconsciously.
So, the best way to ease your way into Fall is to bring autumnal sensations into the house. Besides putting up your wreaths, decorating with gourds, and creating a cute Fall bucket list of things to do like visiting the pumpkin patch and making apple cider, it’s time to cozy up your nest. Fall-scented candles and essential oils do the trick if you don’t want to bake. But if you can’t wait to go to bakeland, it’s time to put those cute cookie cutters and baking trays to play. Finally, comfy knit throws and fall-themed blankets complete the set. Here is some juicy inspo!

Fall Aesthetic Outfits & Clothing – Classic & Trends
Of course, Fall has its classic fashion elements like plaid flannels, knit sweaters, fedora hats, booties, rain boots, and moody florals. They will work for most styles and your wardrobe is likely packed with essentials from years before. You can’t go wrong with the basics.
On the other hand, we have the trends. According to WhoWhatWear, 2023’s Fall major fashion trend is a return to the classics.
Of all the trends, some of them have a stronger Fall Aesthetic when we think about the colors of the season, but not so much for coziness this year. So, be prepared for trench coats and tailored clothing (nothing new here). It’s 90’s minimalism mixed with a Dark Academia aesthetic. Pair them with furry shoes, another 2023 trend and that’s as comfy as you can get that. If you like Fall colors, this is your year, because bold colors are in with orange and red. Perfect for Autumn! If you’re in a slow-living cabin mood, go big with your bohemian hand-me-down alike sweaters, ponchos, and knits. Perfect for my hygge homebodies who can’t wait to spend the next months wrapped around needles and yarns!
