I can’t believe it’s our second fall here in Pittsburgh, but this one is extra special because it’s our first year as an engaged couple! My fiance Schyler and I wanted to celebrate with a fun fall day at the pumpkin patch and of course we had to take some photos to remember it by. We have gone to the pumpkin patch every year for the past 8 years we have been together and I can’t wait to continue the tradition with our family in the future! We got to take a hay ride to the pumpkin patch, the corn maze, and pet some cute farm animals. It reminded me of the animals I grew up with on the farm in eastern Washington!

While living in Nashville, I thrifted tons of amazing boho decor! When I moved to Pittsburgh, I started thrifting for quality pieces for my wardrobe. Most of my clothing has been thrifted from a local thrift store here in Pittsburgh called Thriftique and Goodwill! The quality of the pieces I have found for a fraction of the cost is amazing, vintage finds, name brands, designer brands, and more. Thrifting has been a game changer for me and I love everything in my closet now.

I have been doing a ton of research for neutral but festive fall decor to decorate my apartment with this fall season so I thought I would round them up in some fall decor inspiration guides! One of the things that can be tough to find are unique faux pumpkins that have a bohemian feel to them. I love Fantasy pumpkins although the real ones can be expensive! I found some options that are similar as well as some other fun ones like felt and woven pumpkins. There is definitely a pumpkin here for every bohemian home!

I love what I do, but work breaks as well as time for myself, my fiance, and my pup are important. Something that really helps me relax while at home is a comfortable but cute outfit!

This year, I’m very excited about decorating for fall! It’s probably because for the first time, not only do I love the interiors in my apartment, but I’ve finally been able to decorate it exactly how I want + in the style I like which I like to call “boho chic”. That’s not something I was able to do in the past because of roommates. Last year, I went all out for Christmas decor since my sister was coming to visit. But because we moved here in the fall last year, I didn’t really have the time to get myself together and decorate lol. So that is what we are doing this year and I can’t wait! I’ve rounded up a ton of boho chic fall decor inspiration on Amazon to share with you guys in this blog post. Everything is so cute and pretty affordable too! Plus of course, we love that free shipping ;P

He, along with mom and dad, has been struggle-inggg this summer with the humidity hear in Pittsburgh so he has preferred his curls kept short 😉 He has been going through a couple of health struggles that mom has been researching and trying to figure out how to address for months!

I live in Pittsburgh’s east end, very close to Butler St. in the Lawrenceville neighborhood. It’s a very popular shopping street here in Pittsburgh with lots of restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, tattoo shops, and more to explore! I personally love spending the day walking down streets like this popping in to this store, grabbing a coffee, a late brunch, those are some of the things I really love enjoying in life.

I knew that a had to start sharing more guides like this for Pittsburgh too. I hope you guys enjoy this blog post, especially those of you who are new to Pittsburgh or plan on visiting!
