Style your fall: The ultimate fall bucket list

Can you tell I‘m kinda obsessed with bucket lists? Each season, I come up with a brand new one. Writing down what I would like to do in the coming months puts me in seasonal mood and it also ensures that I make the most of the new season.

And fall is hands down my favorite season (apart from Christmas, but that’s technically not a whole season). For some people, January 1st and the New Year is the fresh start. For me, it’s always been fall. Not sure why, maybe it’s a deeply ingrained habit from my school years?

I love the colors, the chill, refreshing weather, the smells, the fall weekends, the fashion, the flavors, the excitement of the coming holiday season – everything is just so beautiful and exciting. After the draining hot humidity of summer and before the chilling darkness of winter, fall really is the perfect season for new beginnings, new habits, new things to try.

Style your own fall this year or take some inspiration from my fall bucket list.

Go for a long walk in the neighborhood

Enjoy the seasonal home decorations and long walks in the leaf-covered streets.

Sit in the park or a terrace with a friend, have a hot café and talk away the afternoon

And let the mobile phones stay in the bag.

Take a hike in the nearby mountains during foliage season

I’m not the biggest nature-lover, but this is definitely the time to get out.

Go to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch and pick your own produce

Support local farmers and your health.

Carve a pumpkin

Do a unique design this year and don’t forget to roast the pumpkin seeds.

Do a seasonal wardrobe cleanout

Take away your summer clothes, donate what you haven’t used all season. Go over your warm clothes, organize your closet by style and color, and once again, sell or donate what doesn’t fit into your closet or lifestyle anymore.

Light that exquisite candle you’ve been saving for so long

Make an ordinary evening special and focus on treating yourself.

Wear a fall lipstick

Be bold and have fun: grape hue, burgundy, plum, chocolate, or maple red are great this season.

Add a few fall touches to your home

Small décor pumpkins, a fall-colored fresh flower bouquet, some cozy blankets

Open your windows in a crisp early morning

And let the fresh air wake you up. Advanced option: sit on the porch with a blanket and a hot morning coffee.

Spice up your hot drinks

Try cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, pumpkin spice, ginger, cardamom, honey, maple syrup. Some ideas here.

Make a reading list for the cozy fall nights at home

Also, get ready for Season 2 of Stranger Things. But don’t prioritize Netflix over the wonderful world of books.

Do a special fall-themed photo shoot

Go outside, play with the leaves, shoot a fall-themed flatlay.

Go over your resolutions/bucket list from January and renew your focus on them

Usually, New Year’s Resolutions are well-forgotten by this time. If you fell off the track, now’s the time go get back on smashing your goals.

Start your Christmas preparation early to spare some stress

Think of the menu, decoration theme, and thoughtful gifts for your loved ones.

Have fun with layering your clothes

The best part of fall fashion? Layering. Get creative and pair different textures, colors, and fabrics. (And come back for a post on some major fall minimalist style inspiration next week).

Go away on a mini fall vacation

Fall is the perfect time for some traveling – great sightseeing weather, smaller crowds, out-of-season prices. A long weekend exploring a brand new city or a countryside retreat, enjoying the change of colors – up to you.

Volunteer and donate

Don’t forget that the holiday season is not only about gifts, family time, and seasonal movies. Think about what people will need in the coming cold months and find your local charities.

Don’t get lazy, continue to work out

Cozy knits and early darkness are not an excuse to put your fitness routine and your health on the backburner. Stay committed to working out.

Go to a fall festival and celebrate the new season

Try new favors, drink a hot apple cider, spend a fun afternoon with friends.

Step up your pampering routine

Time for the facial oils, essential oil-infused baths, oil cleansers, and rich moisturizer butters.

Start a brand new lifestyle habit

Whether it’s a new healthy eating habit, a slow morning routine, a self-care exercise, or a green lifestyle habit, pick something and commit to it throughout the season.

Wear fall seasonal colors

Caramel, olive, mustard, navy, burgundy, cream, butter, gray, black, maple, golden tones – after the light pastels of spring/summer, it’s time to go darker, and richer

Eat more chestnuts

I feel like poor chestnuts are always unfairly neglected in pumpkin season. You shouldn’t do that, as they have tons of health benefits. Compared to other nuts, they’re relatively low in calories and fats, an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, they are gluten-free and exceptionally rich in vitamin-C. Roast them, try chestnut flour, make a soup, a ravioli, or a chestnut cake. See some inspiration here.

Don’t fall into the frenzy of Black Friday

Either sit it out or make a list of things you really, truly need and ignore the craziness.

    I love how so many of your ideas are health (mental or physical) and wellness related. We’re about to enter such a hectic season (oh and also flu season, of course) and it’s important to keep ahead of the curve on some of these things.
