Happy Thursday! This week I had the privilege of traveling to Aspen to celebrate Avara's NEW fall collection, and let me tell you, these are definitely fall looks you will fall for! They have a wide variety of fall fashion pieces that are just gorgeous. Even better is that everything is so cute AND affordable. Now where's the pumpkin spice latte?

For those of you who are dying for more trip details, I went with a group of influencers and the amazing Avara team. We stayed at the MOLLIE Aspen hotel and it was just fabulous. It's a chic boutique hotel right in the heart of downtown Aspen and walkable to everything. Turndown service includes warm homemade cookies plus a humidifier. They also have a cute restaurant and a spa. Plus, they even have a car that picks you up from the airport. It's so easy! If you want day to day behind the scenes, be sure and watch my Instagram stories or follow the #avaratakesaspen hashtag. You can also check out my trip from last year with Avara to Stowe, Vermont to get a feel for what these brand trips are like.

Is it just me or have you felt the weather to be fall(ish) recently? Between grocery stores being filled with pumpkins, pumpkin spice items and the slow drop in temperatures, it gets me inspired to decorate for fall. This is why today I’m sharing some fall home decor inspiration. Let's look at pieces you can add to your home for fall, including items for Halloween and Thanksgiving. These pieces are tasteful and don't detract from your usual home decor. I know some people who love decorating for each individual holiday and others who like to decorate for the season as a whole. What do you do? I love to decorate for fall and then add some touches for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Right after that, I do major decorating for the Christmas holiday season. But overall I operate by the "one holiday at a time" rule. Below I've also included the top 10 best sellers from August. These are additional fall pieces you'll want in your wardrobe.

Fall Home Decor Ideas

If you’re looking for general fall home decor, I recommend adding some subtle pieces to your home. A throw blanket is a perfect option. This chenille throw blanket  will instantly add that subtle touch of fall. Another easy way to add some fall into your home is with pillows. This velvet pillow cover is a great way to add fall textures and tones to your home. I also love this floral pillow as a fall accent piece. A fall colored lamp or brown leather picture frame are other easy ways to add subtle fall tones to your everyday decor. This braided wooden oval mirror is another beautiful piece that adds fall tone and texture to your home.

Looking for storage items that double as decor? This velvet storage ottoman is so chic and perfect for fall. Another beautiful piece to add to a living space is this rattan basket. Other easy pieces to use to decorate that can also serve as storage includes this marble bowl and this braided wood tray.

Next, let's add some fall tones to the kitchen and dining space. These dessert plates are so cute and come in four Halloween designs. I recommend getting all four if you're hosting an event this season. You'll also need these pumpkin mugs for your morning coffee. I also love these pumpkin embroidered napkins for all season long. These marble pumpkin coasters are also a must-have addition to your home this fall.

Speaking of pumpkins, you can't have fall decor without pumpkins, and this glass pumpkin is subtle and classy. I also love this decorative glass pumpkin for something unique. Add the finishing touch to your home with this autumn wreath and this pumpkin doormat. It will give your home all of the fall vibes. Add the scent of fall to your home with this Honeycrisp candle or this pumpkin clove scented candle.

What are some of your favorite fall home decor ideas? Below is my full list of fall decor favorites.

Have a great weekend!   xoxo – Tanya

With Labor Day weekend only two days away, I know many of you are headed out of town. You all know that I love traveling. The key to traveling well is all about what you pack. Mersea is my go-to for versatile, comfortable, and cute travel styles. It will instantly transport you to your favorite destination. Let's take a look!

Easy Travel Style

The brand Mersea was birthed from a passion of travel and the nostalgic scents that come with it. Founders Mel and Lina were fascinated with the ability of a scent to transport you through time and space, so they created a brand centered around scents and self-care items. Now, they have transformed into a clothing brand with items curated for all of your travels. Each item was made with a person, place and destination in mind, making these garments so unique. Each product is ethically made from artisans around the world.

The pieces I own are not only chic, but so comfortable. And we know that feeling comfortable leads to confidence. An easy travel piece is this effortless sweater (size S). I love the flowy fit and lightweight sweater material. It's the perfect layer for traveling. I also love this V-neck sweater (size S). It's the perfect lightweight transitional piece for fall. Both sweaters come in a bunch of colors.

Mersea also has a great selection of jeans that are perfect for traveling. These boyfriend jeans are so cute and comfortable. Another pair that are a must are these wide leg jeans. They're four-way stretch making them flattering and comfortable.

Another travel must-have is this gorgeous travel wrap. It is made out of an exclusive cashmere-cotton blend that can be worn a variety of ways. It is a classic transitional piece you can wear for years!

Now all you need is a great pair of shoes for traveling. Check out this blog post on my 8 go-to travel shoes.

Today I want to take a look at some of my favorite elevated fall fashion pieces. These are classic, chic, and high-quality pieces that will instantly put the awe into your fall wardrobe. Let's take a look!

Before we start, I have some exciting news. You may remember that I launched the Tanya Foster x Ming Wang collection in the spring. Well, I have another launch happening soon! On October 15th, I am working with Ming Wang to launch a curated fall/holiday collection. These pieces are so gorgeous and I cannot wait to share them with you all. Also, my spring collection is on SALE. You need to take advantage of these sale prices before they are gone. My collection is made up of high-quality pieces which can be worn for years and elevate your wardrobe to the next level.

One Ming Wang piece that I am in love with this fall is this A line knit dress (also found here).The classic style in fall colors makes it a gorgeous piece to wear this season. The material is made out of Ming Wang's specialty knit, which holds shape and never morphs or stretches, even on a hanger. It's such a flattering style that can be worn on so many occasions like a luncheon, work event, or even for Thanksgiving. This brown deco crepe dress is another chic style that is perfect for elevated fall occasions. For both styles, make sure to size down from your normal size. I am in a size XS as the brand runs large.

Now let's talk elevated accessories for fall. These suede slingback pumps are so chic! They come in three colors that are all perfect for fall. A suede pump is a fall wardrobe staple that you will wear for years, so it's worth the investment. You also need an elevated handbag. This Italian leather basket bag is beyond chic. It's handcrafted in Tuscany and made out of an Italian vegetable tanned leather. I love the unique, yet classic style, plus the size is perfect for an outing. Also, the bag comes in many color choices. Now all you need is a pair of designer sunglasses to really elevate you fall style!
