Fall Faves Lately

From fall flavors to textures & decor to fall cleaning (is that a thing!?) sharing some of my favorite finds for fall!

First up, I’ve had a weighted chunky knit blanket on my wishlist for quite some time. I was thrilled when Quince let me try out theirs that just debuted. (Spoiler: It doesn’t disappoint.) I drape mine over our couch and it is perfect for snuggling up with a book and coffee or watching Netflix (and inevitably falling asleep…there’s something magical about it!)

Not only is it machine washable, but this chunky knit adds a layer of texture to your space while the 15-lb fill provides a calming benefit, helping to reduce signs of anxiety and promote relaxation. It is SO comfy and comes in some great fall colors. Check it out here.

Geometry Towels are better than every other kitchen towel, hands down. Geometry towels use a material that dries much faster than a regular towel. So they stay fresh and need fewer washes. The towels absorb 7x its weight in liquid so they vacuum up spills and dry dishes with ease. They have hundreds of designs to choose from, and the fabric glides over countertops and mirrors without leaving any scratches or streaks.

Try these and thank me later. (Plus they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and no questions asked returns.) Shop here and use code ValerieP15 for 15% off your order!


Speaking of cleaning, I was influenced to buy this mop and am in LOVE. It has separate slots to soak your mop, and then a compartment to take off the excess liquid. I use it on my walls, cabinets, etc. and it’s much faster/easier than using a cloth like I used to. Love it’s compact design too. Psst– right now it is 20% off!


Besides festive fall Geometry towels in the kitchen to give it a fresh fall vibe without cluttering the space with all the decorative knick knacks, my favorite staples are my Caraway cookware and bakeware. They are not only gorgeous and cook/bake really well, but have a toxin-free ceramic surface, and have a minimal, saavy storage system that goes with it.

I’ve also been meal planning each week almost exclusively through the Clean Simple Eats cookbooks. True to their title, everything is clean, simple ingredients and SO delicious according to the entire family! Their new fall cookbook is full of delicious options featuring the BEST fall flavors. CSE also has a sampler box that I’ve been enjoying featuring their nut butters, protein powders, greens and collagen mix ins, etc. if you want to try their products. But if you get anything, I’d recommend their seasonal cookbooks. Get 10% off your order at Clean Simple Eats with SQUAD10.

We’ve had a lot of dreary, rainy days lately and it just makes me want to snuggle in and get cozy…anyone else?! I try to dry clean our comforter seasonally (it’s a king and doesn’t fit in our washing machine), but then got smart and opted to use a duvet. Quince offers a wide array of gorgeous duvets in rich colors and textures, and I love ours! It’s much easier to wash, and it has ties to connect to the comforter that helps it stay put so the comforter doesn’t shift around. Much better all around!


And of course with fall comes sweata weatha! I love the layers and looks for fall. I’d say my go-to fall style is sweaters (like this one below) and sweatshirts with leggings and jeans. Easy, effortless and comfy!
