Although we’re not quite there yet, the promise of fall is indeed around the corner, and after the summer we’ve endured, could not be more welcome. Visions of sweaters, cider and cooler temperatures are absolutely dancing in our heads. We say it each year, but this year in particular, it seems the beckoning new season is more anticipated than ever.
With that in mind, our fashion feature is an utter delight. Boutique owner Susu Stall and three generations of her stylish family show us how fall fashion is done, in a range of elegant ensembles, set to the backdrop of the Stalls’ beautiful Garden District home.
While planning your calendar and taking fashion notes from Susu and her family, be sure to look to our Registry of Charitable events on page 48. It’s a jam-packed nonprofit event season and we’ve pulled together listings in one place for your reference. Please note that while this calendar was current at the time we went to press, details are subject to change, so be sure to check an organization’s website for the most current listings when setting the date.
With the return of fall comes the excitement of football season. Our writers have rounded up excellent gameday recipes, entertaining suggestions, and sporty accessories so that you’re all set when it comes to showing your team spirit.
Around Town by Sue Strachan and our Arts Calendar, compiled by Rebecca Friedman, offer up even more festive fall entertainment options. There is truly an option for every taste.
Our Changemaker this month is Katie Brasted, Executive Director of Woodlands Conservancy. Learn more about this wonderful organization and the important work they do to protect wildlife, natural habitats and ecologically significant land in our region.
We hope you walk away from this issue as thrilled as we are to usher in the new season.
Cheers!
