Thank goodness the weather is finally cooling down in Los Angeles! Granted, it will most likely be hot again in a week or two {heck, maybe even tomorrow}, but let's not go there. For now, I'm feeling FALL in the air and that makes me smile! This is by far my favorite season, yet I detest the color orange and I'm not too big on Halloween! But I do love the cool chill in the air, the clothing options, and not having to get a pedicure every week :)
I'm feeling inspired by the weather and I wanted to host a fall giveaway. BUT...I wanted to do something a little different. I borrowed this idea from the lovely Dollface {thanks S!!}, but I've seen some others that have done it and I think it will be so fun!
I've compiled a basket of my favorite fall items for the winner, but I'm not going to show the goodies just yet...so you're entering the giveaway for the sheer surprise and excitement of receiving the unknown!! Of course the basket is filled with wonderful items that you will love!
Entering is easy - just leave a comment on this post with your number one, must-have for fall. It can be anything {and make sure it's really a favorite because it could be added to the basket if you're chosen as the winner}!
Deadline to enter is next Friday {October 23}. I'll draw a winner the next Monday and reveal the mystery contents as well!!!

I love the new look of your blog, its so beautiful! my absolute fall favorite is apple cider. I try to keep some in the house at all times during season b/c its my go to beverage. Thanks for hosting such a fun fall giveaway!
My favorite fall favorite is Starbucks Carmel Apple Cider! I just cannot go without having a cup a week at least! It's so delicious and warms me up head to toe on these very cold Iowa fall mornings! (P.S. It was 32 degrees when I left the house this morning!) brrrr!
Thanks for hosing a cute giveaway like this! Such a great idea!
My fall must have is a perfect pea coat! FUN giveaway - can't wait until I win it :p!
My fave fall thing is the pumpkin spice latte from starbucks...and my hat and scarf I bought last year...though we don't get to utilize them here (80 degrees in december/january - ugh). Here's hoping for colder weather this fall/winter.
Oh, how I heart Fall. My Fall fave is a scarf -- I never leave home with out one!
Pumpkin Spice Frappicino from Starbucks! I live in Florida so cold drinks it is.. :)

hmm... tough one! It's a toss up between caramel apple cider from starbucks and the new studded booties I just purchased! Fall fashion is my fave! Great giveaway!
i have to say my must have is the movie "You've got mail". Nothing says fall to me like the scenery in new york in that movie, being able to practially smell the books in meg ryan's shop, and the images of the employees hanging the twinkle lights :) it's such a precious movie!
oooh i love a good surprise!! my must-have is my barbour coat and the snap-on hood and zip-in quilted vest that go with it. keeps me nice and dry and warm!
#1 fall must have is my crock pot b/c fall=soup weather and I can't make a good bowl of tortilla soup w/o my crock pot. Love your blog by the way.

You are so sweet to do this :)
My favorite fall must have is anything pumpkin...maybe pumpkin muffins (or cupcakes!)...and bread with chocolate chips?? Yum!
A mystery giveaway! Love it! And if I have to pick just ONE thing about fall I love most, I'm going to have to go with Yankee Candles. They have sooo many fantastic fall smells!
I must have a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. As a true New England girl I love fall and anything pumpkin flavored.
My favorite part of fall is the sweaters! And the boots....and the scarves...I could just go on forever! Fall is my favorite time of the year! The weather, the food, the clothes, everything!

i cannot live without boots in the fall. skinny jeans and boots.
and i LOVE surprises!!
My favorite fall must haves are cozy sweaters and hot chocolate. Yummmy..
I love surprises and fall, so this is an ideal giveaway! My favorite thing about fall is accessorizing with fun scarves. I love wearing an overall plain outfit and making it more interesting with a fall scarf. My other favorite thing is Yankee Candles in their delicious smelling fall scents!
My must have for fall is scarves! I LOVE scarves, I wear one almost every day!! :)
It's been SO cold and rainy here all week, which is hardly good fall weather! Ughhh!
My favorite thing about fall is apple picking, toasted pumpkin seeds and wearing turtleneck sweaters again!
So excited that here in South Carolina it is finally cooler!
My must have for fall is mulled cider candles! They smell soooo good!
I just love your blog, you are too sweet! For fall I love adding a fun scarf to my outfit-this is my frist fall in chilly VA, so I am learing to accesorize a little differently than I did in Florida.
My must have for fall is -- well, how can I choose just one? -- I would say either the Mums on my patio, or the pumpkin baked goods. I love it all, though.
What a great giveaway!! And I am loving your new Fall look!! :)
It's so hard to pick just one must have for fall but I'm going to have to go with Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks. There is just something about meeting a friend on a cool Fall afternoon at Starbucks to sit and chat while sipping on a warm PSL - it's just my idea of a perfect afternoon!! :)
Wow, you always host such fantastic giveaways...
I have to must have items for fall hot Apple cider with spiced rum, and a pumpkin scented candle. Having a house that smells like pumpkin and a hot spiced cider in my hand just makes me feel cozy and autumn-ish...
My must haves are: Apple Cider, Hot Chocolate, Chunky Sweaters, and Tall Boots!
Hmm, I would have to say that my one must have for fall is a good moisturizer.
I love this idea! I did my first giveaway at the beginning of the month and really enjoyed it.
I would have to say my must have item is a good scarf. One that is solid and can go with lots of things! Pumpkin Spice Lattes are close on the list too!
I would have to say my must have for Fall is a Mrs. Prindables dipped apple! Any flavor ;-) Have a great weekend!
always so cute with your giveaways! My fall must-have is tights with boots. I love love love tights in any color, pattern, etc. Something about tights signals fall for me. :)
I love wearing fall scarves and we can't forget the boots...ah...the boots.

Very fun giveaway! What I am loving for fall this year is leggings and dresses. But I love decorating for FALL. The leaves, the colors, just so much fun!!
I just love fall and this give away!! Even though we aren't having much of a fall in New England my absolute must have is Pumpkin Spice Latte from SB!!!
My must-have for fall would definitely be a light-weight scarf because even if the weather isn't cold enough for an adorable jacket, a scarf is second best!
Oh I love surprises! At least the good ones :) I'd say I have two must haves. A fall smelling candled (like pumpkin spice or something) and chapstick! LOL.
hands down, definitely mossimo ultrasoft sweaters from target!!
I HAVE to have my pumpkin pie candle burning through the entire season!
I love quite a number of items. But for clothing it has to be my brown velveteen jeans from Talbots. Comfort!!!
I LOVE fall too! My must have item is the Spiced Pumpkin Candle from Yankee. I only burn it in the fall and the scent reminds me it's getting cooler outside (or supposed to be).
Love your new fall design. Happy Fall, Angela.
I too must have a spicy candle burning in my kitchen and I always take out my big pumpkin tureen by Fitz and Floyd to get me in the mood to decorate my home for the season. What's with this LA weather? Did you feel the earthquake last night? I was awake just before it hit and the dogs next store started to whine , then barked and then it hit and all was quiet again. Just one quick slide motion here. Hold on. I think there is more coming! :) xoxo
I am so enjoying these cooler temps in NC, just wish we could add some sunshine to the mix :) As for fall, I love tons of things, but my favorite is definitely having a reason to stop at Starbuck's and pick up a Pumpkin Spice Latte ... delicious!
It's already been said but I have to agree that Starbuck's Caramel Apple Spice is the best thing about fall, but I also love a good fleece blanket to wrap up in.
Can't wait to see what the prize is!
My fall must-have is Swiss Miss Diet Hot Chocolate... 25 calories a pack is unbeatable!
My fall must haves are chapstick, warm socks and my heated blanket! ;) I'm lovin' this cold weather!
My fall must haves are jeans, a cute sweater and cute boots!
Well since most Alabama fall's are just as hot as the spring time I always buy pumpking spice candles or apple pie candles and put all through my house so at least when i walk inside the smell of the candles makes me feel like its fall weather outside.
Just one!!! I love a great, warm scarf and some Starbuck's Apple Cider. What a great fun idea! Thanks!
My fav coffee (Starbucks) in a monogrammed coffee travel mug of course, with my pea coat, gloves and scarf watching my children's soccer games. That's just one of my favorite things about fall!
Thanks for hosting Sweet Tea!
Hop on over to my blog for an Angela Moore Halloween bracelet giveaway!!!!

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the colors, the brisk air, not having to fun my air in the house. I love the smell of pump[kin spice candles and of course Pumpkin Spice lattes from Starbucks.

My fall favorites are a soft fleece blanket that is wrapped around me at all times when at home and... sweet potatoes! I roast them with olive oil and pink salt and they're pretty much the best thing ever.
My fall must-have is wool socks. They're so much more fun now that I knit them for myself.
One of my fall favorites is MITTENS!!!!
Where do I begin? I adore fall. I think the one thing that says fall to me most is a fabulous scarf to wear and butternut squash soup to eat.
What a wonderful contest! Thank you for hosting it!
My ugg boots and apples!
Hey Ms. Sweet Tea!
By far my favorite FALL items come in a set. Its my Coach Denim tote #11179 and the matching zip around wallet. I use it all the time in the fall. This Coach set goes so well with all of my outfits since I have a casual work life and home life.
I really look forward to this time of the year for many reason and one of them is my Coach purse and wallet!
BroncoMom
Scarves! I have all colors to match my outfits!
I must, at all times, have a fall-inspired Yankee candle burning at home. In fact, I currently have two burning as we speak!

Fall is fabulous!!!! I love apple cinnamon candles and eating chili (or really any crock pot meal). Love the new blog look!

XOXO!
Love the new blog look. My must have fall item is...
My Caramel Mach. From Starbucks. I know they have it year round but, I only enjoy it in the fall. As a mommy it's a quick way to feel like fall and spoil myself at the same time. :)
I love surprises!
Fall is my favorite season-I love when the leaves turn colors. My number one must have for fall is orange spice tea! Nothing's better than a warm cup of tea on a chilly day!
I love pumpkin pie candles. I can't live without them in the fall. I put them all over my house.
My favorite fall must have would be flats. I love boots :) But flats are perfect since we're just coming out of summer! Great idea (a surprise giveaway!) Xo
Just found your blog :) Fun giveaway! Couldn't pick just one...it was a three way tie:fall colored scarf,Starbucks, Yankee candles!
What a fun giveaway! Must number 1 must have for fall is a cashmere sweater. I just can't get enough of them!
I have been reading your blog for the past couple weeks! Congrats on the new office! I would have to say fall is my favorite season and my number one must have for fall is caramel apple spice lattes from Starbucks!!! They are soo yummy!
a nice apple cinnamon candle from yankee candle or salt city! Love that smell on a cool day!
My fall favorite is sara lee pumpkin pie. I just have to have it.
My must-have for fall this year is my jacket. I am a So California native but since I met my hubby I travel all over the country. This past weekend it was 39 degrees in Kansas City and I am not sure what it will be in Washington DC next week but I am sure it will be colder than So Cal! I didn't own a jacket until last year (yeah, seriously) but now it goes just about everywhere with me because I am such a wimp!
Thanks for this giveaway!
i just found your blog how exciting!? I love fall but I am also not a fan of orange...my favorite thing about fall is either the fresh apple cider from the mill down the street or the cute hats I get to throw on when having a bad hair day. The fashion options are endless because you usually can mix summer clothes and winter so you have double the wardrobe!! Happy autumn and i love the surprise factor of the give away!! :)
-love,
a new fan!
Hmmm. love surprises!
So much fabulous fall finds... but let's see... the great Wood Wicks candles (love that they make a "crackling" sound when lit) and Wood Wicks diffuser oils, they smell so "fall-ish".
Thank you for hosting a great surprise giveaway!
Blessings & aloha!
