A fresh month brings a bevy of fun new items to shop, from game day entertaining to transitional wardrobe pieces. Take a look at these FINDS — 15 fall-perfect items that caught our eye from brands and boutiques around the South! (They make great gifts, too!)
COFFEE TABLE
Cara Cara x House of Harris candle
The style icons of Cara Cara and the textile/wallpaper queens of House of Harris have created a limited-edition candle inspired by and named after Golden Hour. With notes of clementine flower, white lilac, and orris wood, the scent clings to the last vestige of summer holidays while perfectly ushering in autumn. It comes in a bold wallpaper-inspired box for $65 at Cara Cara.
Rebecca Gardner’s new book, A Screaming Blast
If you’ve ever wanted to crash an opulent soirée, this is your invite. In her just-released new book, Rebecca Gardner, founder of Houses & Parties, throws you into 20 outrageously creative parties (think Swarovski‑crystal “chandelier girls,” brass bands on a wine train, and pink‑poodle holiday shindigs). With a foreword by Sofia Coppola, vibrant photography, witty hosting insights, and a “why‑not?” attitude, this book is a gorgeously over‑the‑top ode to entertaining. It’s $46 at Houses & Parties.
“Let’s Get Closer” game
Put the phones down and pull the cards out. This game sparks honest conversations with 100 thoughtful prompts across three levels, designed to help families laugh, reminisce, and connect meaningfully. Perfect for summer nights, back-to-school bonding, or cozy holiday gatherings — it’s screen-free fun you’ll actually look forward to. Find it for $30 at Emerson Rose.
Green nodes box
Part sculpture, part storage, this textured box turns clutter into art. Hand-crafted with glossy green domes across its surface, it’s a playful pop of dimension for coffee tables, bookshelves, or entry consoles. Tuck away remotes, jewelry, or little odds and ends while making a design statement at the same time. This is $52 at Isabella Home.
KITCHEN & BAR
Batter bowl
Making morning pancakes just got a whole lot cuter. This speckled ceramic batter bowl — crafted by a Seagrove, NC potter — comes in four fabulous colors (batter, spatula, and towel not included, though we now crave pumpkin pancakes). It’s the perfect cozy kitchen upgrade as you shift from summer salads to fall comfort food. Shop this large batter bowl for $56 at Thomas Pottery.
Fruit and veggie wash
Give your farmers’ market haul a fresh start. This plant-based, eco-friendly wash removes pesticides, waxes, and grime that water alone can’t touch — without leaving a weird aftertaste. Safe for your family, kind to the planet, and bottled in 100% recycled plastic, it’s the easiest way to keep summer produce crisp and clean as you slide into fall. Shop this veggie and fruit wash for $12 at Vertigris.
Martini glass
Every bar needs a few classic, quality martini glasses. As we gear up for more cozying up at home, now’s the time to invest. Grab a few of these steep Austrian-made Riedel martini glasses for $39.95 each at Belle Shops.
Daily steeping pot
Hand-cast in traditional Japanese pottery villages, this elegant steeping pot blends timeless craftsmanship with everyday function. It has a stainless steel strainer that lets loose leaves fully unfurl for optimal flavor. A beautiful balance of form and utility, it’s a piece you’ll reach for daily, especially as the weather dips. This is $72 at Tea Huntress.
GAME DAY
Gameday scarf
These Texas-made scarves perfectly blend team spirit and elegant design. Crafted from 100% silk with heirloom-grade quality, they’re officially licensed and designed to transcend typical collegiate merch. Whether you’re rooting in the stands or creating a stylish postgame outfit, this is a luxe twist to gameday tradition. Each double-sided scarf has vibrant, school-inspired motifs like team icons, mascots, and slogans, and is presented in gift-ready packaging. Find your team for $146 at Saturday Silks.
Mascot charms
It’s game day down South, and North Carolina jewelry designer Taylor Reese’s mascot charms are the perfect accessories. A whimsical take on some of the South’s favorite mascots, each charm is hand-painted and has agate and crystal clusters. They clip on perfectly to her candy necklaces, available in more than 20 colors. These charms are $20 and come in Ram, Wolf, Eagle, and Elephant from Taylor Reese.
WARDROBE
Dress
Kim Lolley — a Louisiana nurse-turned-designer — put her name on this piece as the first style in this collection. Made with a heavier cotton-blend fabric for the chillier months, this midi-length dress features pockets without sacrificing polish. With the classic button-front designs, it’s charming and traditional, and just launched in sizes XS through XXL. Shop this for $198 at Kim Lolley.
Wrap sweater
Emily McCarthy’s Willow wrap in this fall-perfect mocha color defines cozy sophistication. It’s made of a sumptuous cashmere–cotton blend and features a chunky rib knit trim at the neckline and hem for a luxe textural touch. We love the versatility of a wrap that can take us from morning coffee to fireside wine. Shop this sweater for $248 at Emily McCarthy.
Loafers
This is the perfect slip-on loafer for the seasonally transitional wardrobe. These pair as beautifully with a sleek suit as they do with distressed denim shorts and a tee. Shop these raffia loafers for $90 at Keep.
Colorblock dress
We’re clinging to this linen mini dress like we’re clinging to the last little bit of summer. It’s light and effortless, but could also be “fall” -ed up with a lightweight jacket, booties, and even a turtleneck underneath. The fun contrast of olive and oatmeal hues feels earthy yet polished. Snag this intriguing piece at a great price — $78 — at Sugarboo & Co.
Turquoise necklace
Add some western spunk to your jewelry stacks with the stone of the moment: turquoise. This five-strand polished heishi turquoise necklace has sterling silver hardware, and at 18 inches long, it’s perfect to add to some shorter pieces. Shop this necklace for $98 at Dotsuwa Designs.
