The Brunette Shake

September 27, 2018

A flawless entrance to an Autumn filled home.

I was so thrilled to find this perfect welcome mat for our front door. It was the last one available at Michaels a few weeks ago, and I knew it had to be mine. I was able to purchase a million pumpkins and gourds/squash at a farm while I was in Prince Edward Island earlier in September, along with the most gorgeous coloured mums.

I brought out my vintage yellow chair, wooden Autumn signage and potted our multi-coloured mums in steel buckets for an extra farmhouse inspired look. I am still in awe at how great our front porch looks. I always give a little smile whenever I see it.

I spend some time last weekend painting some pumpkins, just for fun. I also enjoy carving pumpkins, but will wait to do that so they don't go bad before Halloween.

This outdoor Autumnal decor is just making my heart sing, so naturally I had to share with all of you.

Have you decorated for Fall? What's your favourite decoration?

Fashionably yours,

Hillary

Apple Picking in New Brunswick

I have so much love for all things Autumn. My Fall bucket list is a mile long (at least). Each and every weekend I try to tackle an item or two on my list so I can feel all the fall vibes.

Everything about Fall makes me so happy! The colours, the smells... It's always such a happy time and brings me such joy.

Apple Picking is always top of my list of fun things to do in the fall. We have an incredible apple orchard only 30 minutes from our house called Verger Belliveau and we go every year, it's kind of a tradition of ours!

We piled in our car, drove the quick country drive and picked 10 pounds of apples (an entire peck!). I couldn't contain my excitement about making apple sauce, apple pie and apple cider. Of course, I bought a gallon of apple cider while we were there and I like to heat it up on the stovetop and add a little cinnamon for a really delicious treat.

Haunted Houses

There's something about a spooky (but true) story that I just adore.

My Nanny always tells me about how the Beaconsville House in Charlottetown, PEI is haunted. Each and everytime we drive by, she mentions it.

The house was built well over 100 years ago, and definitely looks spooky.

Being so close to Halloween, I thought it was the perfect backdrop for some outfit photos. If you look closely - can you see a ghost in the window?

Hillary's Halloween Spooktacular

September 23, 2018

Yes it's September. But I am ahead of the curve, and have been excited for Halloween since last Halloween.

I want to host a Hillary's Halloween Spooktactular this year. AKA the best Halloween party you will ever attend.

Of course, to find the best and spookiest invitations I did the following:

1. Made my own using Stampin' Up! stamps

2. Stalked Paperless Post for the best invites

I like Paperless Post quite literally because everyone is on their phone these days, and 100% connected all the time. Paperless Post invites go right into the email and are always super cute (I mean terrifying). I decided to do both. One paper invite for the fridge, and one into the email.

I have included my MOST FAVOURITE Paperless Post Halloween invites and cards below.

Which one is your favourite? I quite enjoy the Kate Spade option (of course).

Forever singing Monster Mash.

Last night I attended a special VIP shopping party at the new store, Envy, at the Champlain Mall!

We had tasty candy, Levi's Wedgie jeans galore as well as the sweetest goodie bags. My favourite part being the clothing, the dress up in the changing room and the photo booth.

SO excited to have a store locally that I can purchase Canadian brands like Brunette the Label and Matt and Nat.

The changing rooms are like a dream come true, with the most beautiful chandelier's and wall paper. It's really a dreamy experience to shop at Envy and I highly suggest checking it out THIS weekend! So many fun things going on, the Brunette the Label founder will be in store on Saturday from 11AM-2PM, Sephora giveaway, candy bar, photo booth and so much more.

Don't miss out! This weekend (14th-16th!) at the Champlain Mall in Dieppe, NB!
