Kick-Off to Fall!
There’s something about the month of September I just love. Even though summer, my favorite season, is coming to a close, I know that the next couple of months in the Valley will offer more temperate weather and an autumnal show of colors that make this area one of the most desirable places to be in the fall.
Kicking off our Annual Fall Home Issue is our Home of the Year. This outstanding property, nestled in the Saucon Valley might surprise you a bit. The owners actually created their own Aspen-like paradise within their walls, complete with a centrally-located wine room and tasting nook, many places for family to gather and interact, and a vibe that evokes a Colorado cabin. It’s a bit of Wild West meets sedate Saucon Valley, and is not to be missed.
With Oktoberfest just around the corner, we thought you might enjoy learning more about the unique micro-brewing community our area offers. We talked to the trailblazers and trendsetters, learned what’s popular, and asked what’s on tap for the future of brewing in the Lehigh Valley. You’ll want to savor this read with a cold one, for sure.
As part of our 10th Anniversary Signature Editorial Series we’re also taking a look at the behind-the-scenes shenanigans, frustrations, and hard work that go into making a LVS cover. Learn why this process is one of the most challenging things we do here as we reflect on 10 of our most memorable covers of the decade.
Another thing I love about fall is the fashion. It is simply the best season to dress—with all its layered looks, cool jackets, and boot styles. And as the seasons change, so do the colors. Learn what colors work best for you this season and all year long with the expert advice offered in this month’s Stylefinds department.
Okay, to be honest, football is my most favorite aspect of fall, so knowing that I
have 17 Sundays of games ahead of me—that’s a big bonus too! Look online this
month (lehighvalleystyle.com) for the latest in tailgating innovations to make your
next parking lot feast the perfect appetizer to a great game. Oh, and don’t forget the chilled micro-brewskis!
Only the Best,
