7 ways to add HYGGE to your routines this Fall

HYGGE season is officially here.

If you haven't already become familiar, Hygge, pronounced Hoo-gah, is a term the Danish use to refer to living cozy. The Danish are some of the happiest people on the planet so I am of course always eager to adopt joyful, happy and blissful traditions.

It's important to me to encourage and inspire you to learn about mindfulness, blissful living, simplicity, finding your passion or purpose, improving your relationships and adding the concept of Hygge to your life is only going to add to your overall life experience.

In fact, it may enhance everything! I live this way pretty much on a daily basis but the holidays are the perfect time to really try to incorporate this way of living into your daily routine. 

Here are 7 ways to incorporate Hygge into your routines for Fall:

1. Set the mood for cozy. In order to feel the Hygge vibes in your home you want to set the stage for slowing down and getting relaxed. That looks like, dim lighting and lighting the fire. Candle light is a great substitute for a fireplace. I think this Holiday gift set from Diptyque is a great way to experience the luxe candles AND a great way to gift a friend the experience of Hygge too.

2. Add plush textures to your seating areas. I am absolutely obsessed with silk velvet pillows with down inside. It's like relaxing on a dream, I have a couple on my bed and my sofa for the Fall/Winter months. I also take out my sheepskin rug and set it next to my bed so that when I wake up, I step onto divine goodness. I also like to sit on the floor and read a book or journal on it. Yes, it's that cozy! I also have a cozy blanket for every room in my house, Ugg makes the most delicious cozy blanket. I am obsessed with blankets and I even travel with them too. 

3. Dress up for it. I am big on fashion for the home and I am a huge believer that everyone should dress up for their home just as they do the streets. It's an act of self care and it feels fantastic and luxurious. I always love a good cozy robe, and Barefoot Dreams is one of my favorite brands. Everything they make is absolutely perfect for the art of Hygge. For the days you spend at home, a chic pajama set will make your days feel so blissful and you must top it off with a divine set of chic slippers. 

4. Leisurely activities. Hygge is really all about living in the present moment, not frantically running about. It's important to allow yourself to relax and enjoy things that make you feel blissful. Read a good book, I recommend The Year of Cozy, The Cozy Life or even Blissful Living. Spend time alone journaling or gazing out the window. Do crafts or hobbies that you really enjoy. Take time to enjoy the moment, spending time at home with your loved ones and feel the happiness. 

5. Play happy music. Enough said, really. I love the holidays because Christmas music always makes me feel happy. 

6. Indulge in self care. Never underestimate the power of a good long hot bath with some detoxifying and delicious bath salts. Make sure to enjoy some tea in a beautiful mug, how gorgeous are these?. I love Kusmi teas. There isn't a better feeling that coming out of the bath and slathering on body lotion. I have been obsessed with this Laura Mercier body lotion for over 5 or 6 years now. It smells divine and feels fabulous. Get one for a friend too, they will love you forever. Then enjoy a face mask, this one is my current favorite, and a hair mask. It's important to not forget the hair!

7. Prepare to spoil your people. You don't want to forget that being surrounded by the people you love and creating memories is the ultimate joy! Plan a beautiful dinner party or host a movie night at home. 

To get in the habit of Journaling, try the 5 minute journal. 

I absolutely adore this diamond crushed velvet quilt set for the bed. 

Place beautiful illuminating candles in hurricanes throughout the home. I am absolutely obsessed with these luster vases.

This is, quite possibly, the most perfect fireside throw blanket, ever!

23+ Effortless Fall Fashion Outfit Ideas With Hats

Looking for some really chic Fall fashion inspiration? Good because this post is all about 22 chic fall fashion looks and ways to style them with a hat.

The only time I get excited about fashion is in the Fall. One because I love layering and here in Texas, we can’t really do that until late into Fall. So, the minute I can break out my boots and sweaters, my interest in fashion perks up.

These days, I am trying to build capsule wardrobes for every season so that I don’t overstuff my closet with things that I don’t really need. I’m trying to plan out my Fall outfits so I always have something chic to wear and this Fall, it is all about the hats for me.

Fall is a season of transformation, and your wardrobe should reflect that. Hats are the perfect accessory to try out this season, blending style, practicality, and versatility in a way that few other accessories can. Whether you're drawn to sleek fedoras or cozy beanies, fall gives you the perfect backdrop to experiment with different styles and truly make hats a part of your signature look.

So, as the leaves begin to fall, why not step out of your comfort zone and top off your fall outfits with a stylish hat? You'll stay warm, look chic, and embrace the spirit of the season.

Whether you're reaching for a classic fedora, a cozy beanie, or a wide-brimmed wool hat, fall is undeniably the best time to experiment with this timeless accessory.

Here are 7 reasons why you should wear hats for Fall:

1. The Perfect Balance of Form and Function

Fall weather can be unpredictable. One minute, you're enjoying a mild breeze, and the next, you're dodging a chilly gust of wind. Hats offer the perfect solution to keep warm without feeling too bundled up. A stylish hat will protect you from the elements while elevating your look. It's functional yet fashionable, allowing you to seamlessly blend comfort with style.

2. Hats Complete the Layered Look

Fall fashion is all about layering. Think chunky knits over flowy dresses, tailored coats paired with scarves, or even cardigans over turtlenecks. Hats add a final touch to your layered outfits, making them look polished and intentional. A wide-brimmed hat can bring a touch of elegance to a casual sweater-and-jeans ensemble, while a beanie adds a relaxed, effortless vibe. Plus, a hat draws attention to your face, creating a focal point for your entire look.

3. Rich Textures Complement Fall Fabrics

Fall is the season of textures—wool, cashmere, suede, and leather all take center stage. Hats made from felt, wool, or even corduroy fit right into the autumnal vibe, adding another layer of depth to your outfit. These materials not only match the cozy feeling of fall but also create a cohesive, visually interesting look that’s perfect for the season.

4. Hats Offer Endless Styling Opportunities

There’s a hat for every personal style and occasion. Want something chic and sophisticated? Try a fedora or a beret. Looking for something casual yet cute? A slouchy beanie or a newsboy cap is perfect for those relaxed weekend outings. Hats give you the freedom to experiment with different shapes and styles, allowing you to express your personality through your wardrobe.

5. The Color Palette is Just Right

Fall fashion is defined by rich, earthy tones—burgundy, mustard, olive, rust, and deep navy. Hats are a great way to introduce these seasonal colors into your wardrobe without overwhelming your outfit. Opt for a muted or neutral-toned hat to add subtle elegance, or go bold with a statement piece in a fall hue to draw attention and add a pop of color to your ensemble.

6. A Hat Can Elevate Any Outfit

One of the best things about hats is their ability to instantly upgrade even the simplest outfit. Throw on a stylish hat with a basic sweater and jeans, and suddenly, your look goes from casual to chic. It's an effortless way to make a statement, whether you're running errands or heading to a brunch date.

7. Perfect for Bad Hair Days

Let’s be honest—fall humidity can wreak havoc on your hair, leaving it frizzy or flat. Hats are the perfect solution for those less-than-ideal hair days. Not only do they hide any hair struggles, but they also make you look put-together without any extra effort. It's a win-win!

A few hats I love:

If you aren’t sure if you are a hat person yet, here are a few affordable options to try:

♥️ I love the look of an off white/neutral rancher hat with a thick ribbon. This one also has a wide straight brim which is exactly how I like it.

♥️ I ADORE colored hats, like this pretty pink one. Light pink goes with almost all of my outfits and I wear my pink one most often. Again, I love the wide, flat brim.

♥️ Every girl needs a camel color hat for the Fall. This one is perfect.
