Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Watch List, where I share the random things that captured my attention and stole my heart over the past week!

1 – This Baker’s Bay cottage tour in the Bahamas from Andrew Howard is a stunner. Despite the pattern on pattern, this bedroom is so serene and calming. Can you imagine waking up here in the mornings?!
2 – A few years back, I was loving everything at Walmart fashion-wise. Their house brands tend to be great quality and some are made of organic materials (and they have a new brand, Scenario, that looks really cute). But I felt like the last year or two fell a little flat for me and there wasn’t much I got excited about. But, wow. They are back in a big way! I just ordered this cardigan sweater jacket in navy blue (with striped trim, cuffs and collar) and loved it so much I ordered the burgundy, too! It has some structure since it’s a heavier material and is generously sized (I ordered a large, so go with your smaller size if between sizes). With the weight it could just as easily be worn as a light jacket or cardigan blazer. It has a slightly cropped fit (I’m super long torso-ed and don’t find it too short) that looks great with high-waisted jeans. It could be worn open or closed, as the gold buttons are fully functionable. It gives major Tuckernuck vibes on a Walmart budget! The stock photos are not doing it justice! I promise you that nobody will believe it’s from Walmart.
With the success of that item, I went ahead and ordered some of the other items I’ve had my eyes on. I specifically looked at some of the denim options (I ordered this pair and this pair). Does anyone remember the pair I wore nearly every day when we first moved to Florida? I wore them so often for a few years, I finally wore a hole in them from walking too much in Europe. Ha! This necklace is also on it’s way to me – so perfect for fall outfits! I’m also trying this cableknit hoodie, this blazer (you have to check out the ribbed cuffs!), and striped cotton sweater. They also now have cableknit cashmere sweaters that strongly compete with this one! Tap any of the images below for more details on each of the items shown.
3 – A friend recently gave me this wooden pumpkin candle for my birthday, and holy crap. It might be one of the best fall candles I’ve ever smelled. Kurtis and I burned it for hours yesterday because we both loved it so much! And the wooden pumpkin vessel couldn’t be cuter for fall! The scent includes pumpkin, bourbon vanilla, molasses, allspice, clove and nutmeg and is quintessential fall!
Following are other popular fall candles you may enjoy! We’ve used and loved nearly all of them over the years. All sources are listed below the graphic.

4 – I recently bought these $20 lime green ballet flats because I’ve been loving this shade of green this year. The reviews are excellent and they did not disappoint in person. They’re so cute and the perfect color! They remind me so much of these ballet flats that cost 6x the price – and I personally love the addition of the pearl to the save version! They’re actually very comfy (if you’re between sizes, I’d order up half size if available). The color is pretty true on my screen (they call it lime green but it’s more of a chartreuse).
5 – If you like to keep your seasonal decor simple, sometimes all it takes is a swap of stems in your vases! Here are some fun options for fall from a variety of retailers. I actually ordered these stems (after this collage was made) since they don’t scream fall for warmer climates like ours. I’ll keep you posted if they’re good once they arrive, but the reviews are very promising!
