Fall Transitions: Embrace Healthy Recipes, Thanksgiving Festivities, and Fashion Trends for the Season

Fall is such a cozy time of year when you can make the transition from light meals and clothing to hearty food and heavy sweaters. If you’re spending an afternoon at Lynn Valley Centre, we have some fall shopping tips to help you embrace the season.

Fashion Trends

It’s time to pack away your shorts and pull out the jeans, sweaters, and hoodies. We’re seeing some comfortable trends in fashion this fall. Baggy wide-leg jeans are popular, paired with chunky sweaters, cardigans, and hoodies. For more work-friendly attire, straight- leg trousers pair with fitted blouses and tops of the same colour. Flat bottomed shoes are still quite popular, which are excellent for comfort as well as style.

Embrace Healthy Recipes

You may be a fan of pumpkin spice in the fall, but there are some other hearty flavours that you can use in the kitchen. When you’re doing some North Vancouver shopping at your favourite Lynn Valley Centre grocery store, stock up on squashes, root vegetables, and other hearty ingredients. You can create a lovely soup by starting with sauteed onions, celery, and carrots. Add in some roasted butternut squash and chicken stock. You can puree all the ingredients together for a smooth soup to sip on. You can keep everything chunky as a filling soup to serve with crusty bread and butter.

Thanksgiving Festivities

Whether you’ll be hosting Thanksgiving for your entire family or having a few friends over for a celebration, there are some Thanksgiving and fall shopping décor trends that you can add to your home to make it feel more festive and welcoming. Neutral fall shades are very popular right now. Rather than decorating with oranges and browns, think creams, tans, etc. This applies to things like leave-focused décor, pumpkins, and so on.

Simplicity is common in homes for easy upkeep and ease of design. Don’t feel like you must decorate every surface of your home. Pick up a few basic items at a local North Vancouver shopping centre in anticipation of the fall and Thanksgiving season.
