Julie our stylist can't get enough of cable knit! and who can blame her, "dusting off my boots and pulling out my scarves! Time to insert my cozy liners (yes, cable knit!) in my Hunter rain boots!!",
In addition to scarves and boot liners, Julie loves cable knit throw blankets and pillows, and always loves to decorate with seasonal things like gourds and white pumpkins. Julie is not normally a fan of pies, but she really can't say enough about Savory Island Pie Company's, Chicken pot pie "its so warm and flakey, how can you not love it?".
Catherine, "I love the chill in the air, leaves changing color and a hot latte in my hand. In terms of yummy autumn eats, what would fall be without the pumpkin scones and muffins from the Bakehouse. Gotta order them with the spiced cream cheese icing ... to die for! As for fall fashion, bringing out those warm wool coats, love the ones that tie tightly around the waist and button up the neck...so cozy and stylish, Also you can't head into fall without riding boots and colorful and cozy scarves. As much as I love this time of year for how it kicks off the "seasons of entertaining," it also tends to be a time to really enjoy your home. Cozy up and "celebrate the great indoors" . . . I love a yummy comfort food dinner and a cozy night by the fire with a glass of red wine. Perfecto!
Adam really enjoys when the weather changes, because as the weather changes so does Adams' eating habits," I love homely foods like Irish Stew." Having said that, Adam's favorite thing about Fall, is that it ultimately ushers in the ski season. In case you haven't guessed it, Adam loves the great outdoors, "Vancouver is one of the most beautiful places in the world, wrap up in warm plaid clothes and get out there for a stroll around the city, walk around the seawall or go for a good hike."- good idea Adam!
Katie who is basically the office's guru when in comes to fall items at Starbucks helped usher in the season a couple weeks ago with her first pumpkin spice latte coupled perfectly with a pumpkin scone, Katie loves scones! Apart from that Katie loves going for a run in the crisp weather while the fall leaves are falling on the ground, you'd never know she has a scone a day because she's actually very active. Katie loves the fall because that means accessorizing her outfits with warm boots and comforting scarfs. Katie's home likes to accessorize her home with fall type items, for example Katie did a small fall make over, "by buying small fall type accents and a nice cozy warm orange throw for my sectional, it totally transformed my living room."

Grace's selection of scarves comes out when the temperature drops, "my selection of scarves vary in texture and color, they provide a complimentary piece to my fall outfits."
Grace's holiday trick of the trade is to update high traffic areas such as her main entrance, "I feel by updating the entrance it creates a warm inviting feeling to my guests." Grace suggests a seasonal wreath or a nice planter with seasonal vegetation, keeping the decorations in high traffic areas makes it seem like there are more decorations then there actually are.

James loves all the same things that have been mentioned, but with the cooler temperatures James loves an excuse to display his vast collection of sweaters and cardigans. "I like to bring in seasonal colors and bulkier the sweater the better!" As much as I love the change in weather and being outside with the cooler temperature I also really like coming home to
