Finding joy, beauty and a little retail love in Williamson County one find at a time! Here’s our list for October, curated just for you–with a couple Nashville ones thrown in as well!
HOME
Velvet Pumpkins
Pumpkins suddenly seem elegant when fabricated in velvet. Each stem is signed by the artist–and the jewel-like colors look beautiful against tarnished silver and mercury glass. Pumpkins start at $11 at Avec Moi.

Velvet pumpkins (starting at $11) and mercury glass give my dining room table a fall elegance.
I’m going with dubbing tarnished silver a design trend instead of calling it laziness. At Avec Moi

Smashbox Lipliner
Fall is the season to embrace a bold lipcolor. Make your favorite shade last all day by lining and filling in your entire lip with a coordinating lip pencil. Apply lipstick over the pencil and you are good to go. This pencil, by Smashbox, is my absolute favorite since it never needs sharpening. Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner, $20 at Cosmetic Market.

Never needs sharpening and with a creamy texture that never drags, this lip liner from Smashbox is a makeup junkie fave.
