Elevate your bar cart with this glass decanter from beloved Southern brand Estelle Colored Glass. Equal parts functional and fabulous, it’s available in a variety of colors for $160 at Southern Avenue Company.
Pie cookbook
This book is dedicated to one of the season’s sweetest traditions. Featuring 100 recipes, essential baking tips, and plenty of inspiration, consider The Book on Pie your ultimate guide to making the perfect fall dessert. Grab a copy for $37.50 at Ultimate Gifts.
Throw blanket
Perfect for crisp fall evenings, this herringbone throw brings style and warmth to almost any room. Soft, cozy, and finished with fringe detailing, it’s the perfect companion for curling up with a book or your favorite pumpkin-spiced drink. Find it for $46 at One Cozy Home.
WARDROBE
Flutter sleeve top
The definition of a transitional piece, this short flutter-sleeve knit top is bold and playful, with lightweight fabric that keeps you feeling cool on warmer days. Available in bright red, it’s a top you’ll reach for all season long. Find it at Dappled for $59.95.
Brown satin skirt
Rich shades are everywhere this season, and brown is leading the way. This lightweight satin midi skirt in ‘Espresso’ effortlessly dresses up or down, making it a go-to for autumn days. Find it at Indigo for $198.
Calf hair heel
Kitten heels are back this season, and this pair by Dolce Vita is a fun way to elevate a neutral ensemble. Complete with a calf-hair pattern and pointed toe, they’re the perfect ‘wow’ factor to add to your fall wardrobe. Pick up a pair at Hemline for $150.
GAME DAY
Football bowl
Nothing says game day like a delicious spread of chips, dips, and sandwiches, and this festive bowl is ready to serve it all. The hand-painted piece by Etta B Pottery is available at Bella Vita for $61.
Beaded purse strap
Cheer on your Memphis Grizzlies in style with this beaded purse strap. Perfect for swapping onto your favorite clear bag, it’s sure to add a pop of sparkle and team spirit to any game day outfit. Find it for $45 at Mozelle Boutique.
College town tea towel
Celebrate the place that makes game day so special with a festive, college-town-themed tea towel. In addition to Starkville and Oxford, MS, patterns, this Knoxville, TN, design is perfect for the Vol fan in your life. Find it at Feelin’ Memphis for $24.99.
Game day buttons
Adding a fun button or two to your ensemble is an understated yet spirited way to accessorize on game day. Clover + Bee offers a darling collection for several universities, including the University of Memphis, the University of Alabama, and Auburn. Buttons start at $8.

Another subtle and chic way to rep your team is with a classic hat. The perfect gift for the student or alum in your life, Sorelle Boutique carries patterns for Oxford, Knoxville, Starkville, and Fayetteville. They’re available for $30 each.
Mascot earrings
It’s all in the details. Earrings are a fun way to show school spirit, especially if your game day outfit is more low-key. We love these Arkansas cluster pearls for $36, but plenty of other styles and school options are available at Monkee’s of Germantown.
ACCESSORIES
Buckle belt
An investment piece, this leather belt features a squared gold buckle, making it a timeless piece you’ll reach for season after season. It’s the perfect accent to complete any crisp-weather look. Find it at Hearth & Soul for $248.
Silk scarves
We’re seeing silk scarves everywhere — from purses to pockets and ponytails. We love these options from The Gift Horse, available in five paisley patterns. Find your preferred color for $22.
Happy shopping, Memphis!
