Fall, The Florida Way!

It’s fall, y’all! It’s the season of changing leaves, cozy sweaters, pumpkin everything, and crisp autumn air…

Oh wait. We live in Florida.

Around here, we trade falling leaves for swaying palm trees, sweaters for sundresses (somedays!), and crisp mornings for waterfront breezes. That doesn’t mean we can’t get into the spirit of the season, though!

New month, new arrivals, new flavors, and new reasons to spend a day on the Bay!

FALL FOR NEW FASHIONS

Plaid, burgundy, chocolate brown, pops of red, suede, leather…Fall’s biggest trends have officially arrived! Our boutiques are making it easy to give your wardrobe a seasonal refresh, Florida-style. Think rich fall colors, lightweight layers, statement accessories and new arrivals you can wear now and later.

Consider this your official excuse to do a little fall shopping.

FALL FLAVORS, WATERFRONT VIEWS

Who needs sweater weather when you have dinner with a Bay breeze? Fall brings some of our favorite flavors back to the table, and we’re already craving all things butternut squash, pumpkin, sweet potato, apple, pecan and warm seasonal spices.

Now, add a waterfront table and a sunset over Venetian Bay? That’s our kind of fall.

PUMPKIN SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE

Black Letter Coffee + Café understood the assignment. Their seasonal menu has officially entered into fall, with everything from pumpkin spice to apple pie. See below for five good reasons to make a coffee run.
