As the warmth and bright colors of summer begin to fade into chilly and muted colors of fall, our hearts and minds begin to turn from the fun we had in the sun, to all the things we will do in the magical season that is autumn.
Whether it’s long walks through crisp winds, or reading inside of old libraries on gray days, or wandering through orchards while crafting a poem, autumn is filled with some of the most enchanting activities for Wallflowers.
So in an attempt to make sure you don’t miss out on one of the beautiful fall activities, we’ve gathered together a list of the best and brilliant things to put on your to-do checklist for fall, as well as the things you’ll need on your way.
01 | Go on a crisp fall walk
There’s nothing quite like a walk on a crisp fall day. The leaves crunching under your feet, the sun shining softly, the wind kissing your cheeks — it’s all so magical.
What you’ll need:
A cozy cardigan, to keep you warm and elegant.
02 | Go apple picking
Take advantage of the endless apple orchards and spend the day picking out your very own delicious autumnal fruit.
What you’ll need:
A beautiful basket to keep all your goodies in.
03 | Read in a library or bookstore
Is there any better way to spend a rainy fall afternoon than reading that novel yo’ve been meaning to finish up? And of course, doing so surrounded by rows of books never hurts.
What you’ll need:
A gorgeous leather tote bag to keep your books (and your essentials) safe.
04 | Stay at a rustic farm or cabin
If you’re due for a getaway, book a fun farm or cabin to stay at, where you’ll be greeted by a plethora of gorgeous autumnal trees each morning.
What you’ll need:
A lovely pair of boots, so you’ll be ready for any adventure that lies ahead.
05 | Bake fall goodies
So you can put all those apples that you collected to good use — homemade apple pie, anyone?
What you’ll need:
A cute porcelain baking set that will bake the goodies to perfection.
06 | Watch a cozy movie
It’s time to break into that list of fall movies you have saved on your watchlist. Light a candle, make a cup of hot chocolate, and settle in for a low-key movie night.
What you’ll need:
A soft, chunky blanket to curl up under for hours.
07 | Write a poem on your porch
Fall is just too beautiful not to inspire poetic thoughts. Take the time to craft your own original poem as you watch the leaves dancing in the air.
What you’ll need:
A beautiful linen journal to jot down your most precious thoughts.
08 | Write and send a real letter
Forget text and email — autumn calls for real letters. Write a few letters to your most loved ones with a cup of chai by your side, and get into the fall mood.
What you’ll need:
Some vintage stationery, just to add a touch of whimsy.
09 | Host a mystery game night
Nothing goes hand-in-hand like mystery and fall. Embrace the enigmatic side of the season by hosting a fun mystery game night with your inner circle. Turn off all the lights and light every candle you have to really set the tone.
What you’ll need:
A fun group game that will get everyone involved.
10 | Munch on fall candies
Christmas candies get all the attention, but fall candies are just as tasty. Whether you’re one for maple, pumpkin spice, chai, caramel, or apple, find a fun candy that you’ll enjoy throughout the season.
What you’ll need:
Maple candies, because you deserve something wonderful and sweet to end your day with.
