Crisp, cozy October is upon us. To help you settle into the season, we’ve rounded up some of our recent favorite FINDS — 16 fun, fall-ready picks for your home, wardrobe, and gatherings. The best part? Each item can be purchased online from a small Southern retailer!

HOME & KITCHEN

Staub pumpkin cocotte

This Staub pumpkin cocotte is fall’s coziest cookware piece: 3.5 quarts of enameled cast-iron with a burnt-orange finish, self-basting lid, and stovetop-to-table function. It’s ideal for simmering stews, baking breads, or serving seasonal soups while doubling as a statement centerpiece. This is $199.99 at The Kitchen Table.

Funky teapot

This elegant blue heat-resistant glass teapot is crafted from premium borosilicate glass, allowing you to watch your tea leaves unfurl in real time. Its sleek, minimalist silhouette fits both modern and cozy kitchens, and the clear build means you can tell when it’s steeped just right. A small ritual in glass, find it at All The Feels in two colorways for $42.

Cheeky coasters

Add a touch of whimsy to your coffee table with these bold, graphic face coasters. Made from sturdy leather, they serve as both conversation starters and protectors for your surfaces. Each set mixes colors and expressions, so you can match your coaster to your mood. A playful, design-forward gift idea for hosts, they’re available in two color palettes (this red set and a green/yellow set) at Press Shop for $24.

Cotton throw

A Pendleton blanket is a cozy classic, and we love this lighter and more muted option than their typical vibrant wool ones. Made of organic cotton, it’s breathable yet warm, with eyelash fringe adding a soft, elegant finish. The “Blue Ridge” pattern weaves in Appalachian-inspired motifs, making it a timeless accent for sofas, guest rooms, tailgates, and more. Shop this at Bering’s for $99.50.

SEASONAL DECOR & FLAVORS

Spooky Halloween mug

And for the piping hot tea you just brewed, you need a new favorite seasonal mug (that we’d honestly use year-round). At 16 ounces with a glossy finish and that festive argyle print, it’ll add a dash of spooky charm to your October mornings. Shop this at Rifle Paper Co. for $24.

Pin

Bat candlestick holder

Halloween deserves a few home curios, and this black bat taper candle holder does the trick. With outstretched wings doubling as taper holders, it’s a striking centerpiece for a Halloween table or mantel. Pair with orange or black candles, or mix in metallics. It looks just as good glowing at a dinner party as it does by the candy bowl. It’s on sale for $14.69 (reg. $20.99) at The Trendy Trunk.

Pin

Spooktastic paper garlands

Keep decorating simple with these paper garlands featuring ghosts, bats, and smiling pumpkins. Easy to hang along a mantel, window, or entryway, they instantly bring seasonal charm, and you can reuse them year after year. At $24, they are a budget-friendly way to add a touch of Halloween spirit in just a few minutes. Shop them at  Jenn & Co.

Pumpkin spice … popcorn!

Your favorite fall treat in snack form. Poppy’s Pumpkin Spice popcorn is infused with cinnamon, nutmeg, real butter, and a hint of clove, all blended into perfectly popped kernels. It’s cozy without being over-the-top, and great for movie nights or hostess gifts. Grab a few bags while the flavor lasts for $7.95 at Poppy’s.

Pin

Pumpkin latte candle

We love this fall collab between jewelry giant Uncommon James and Kettner Coffee Co. This candle blends creamy latte notes with warm cinnamon and subtle pumpkin spice. With a clean burn and a 70-hour burn time, it’s perfect for setting an autumnal mood in your living room, bedroom, or cozy nook. A 10-ounce candle is $28 at Uncommon James.

FALL FASHION

Faux fur jacket

Cooler nights call for a statement layer, and this faux fur jacket delivers. Its rich brown tone and soft, striped texture make it look luxe without the fuss (or the price tag). Easy to throw over denim or dresses, it’s a polished pick for holiday dinners, concerts, or just making errands feel a little more glam. Find this for $199 at Voda.

Pin

Heartwarming ballcap

A good hat can pull an outfit together — and this one also spreads a little joy. Embroidered with the phrase “I Am So Glad You Exist” and finished with contrasting brims, these caps are as uplifting as they are wearable. Whether you toss it on for a walk, a game day, or a grocery run, it’s a small way to share kindness. Each hat is $34 at Calypso Boutique.

Pin

Bolo necklace

This modern take on a bolo strikes the perfect balance between minimal and statement. Available in both silver and gold, it’s got a sleek, adjustable slider, so you can wear it long, short, or layered. At under $50, it’s an easy way to add polish to a simple blouse or dress without overthinking it. Find this for $48 at Farrah B.

Pin

Everyday suede bag

This 13-inch-wide suede hobo bag is the kind of everyday carry-all that looks effortless with everything. The supple suede gives it a soft, slouchy shape while still feeling structured enough to hold your essentials. It’s a timeless piece you’ll keep reaching for long after fall. The “Odette” is $140 at boem.

Pin

Tan loafers

Classic and versatile, these tan loafers are an easy wardrobe upgrade for fall. The polished faux-leather finish, stacked heel, and scalloped detail make them refined without being fussy. Pair with trousers, denim, or midi skirts! These are $78 at Auticloth & Co.

FOR THE KIDS

Pumpkin bubble or dress

Dondolo has the most charming fall looks for little ones. Featuring orange piping and pumpkins on the back and sleeves, it nails the season without feeling costume-y. Perfect for pumpkin patch visits or Thanksgiving brunch, the tailored cut keeps it classic. The bubble is $94, and the dress style is $98.

Pin

Pumpkin appliqué shirt

We love the appliqué pumpkins and furry friend that adorn this soft, cotton knit shirt that won’t scratch or irritate your kids’ skin. Ideal for Thanksgiving, family photos, or cozy fall gatherings, shop this and many more adorable pre-Thanksgiving looks at Stitchy Fix for $29.50.
