August 3, 2009
Can you believe it's already August? There’s still time to prepare for an organized and eventful fall. Seize the moment to start thinking about an exciting new wardrobe (layers and sweaters and boots, oh my!), as well as the tantalizing feel of fresh notebooks and scholastic accoutrements. Plan to get your space optimized for achievement with our handy decor solutions, celebrate Leos with peridot gifts, and get inspired for upcoming holidays and celebrations. Etsy has you covered for the busy season ahead, and we hope this shopping guide serves as your up-to-date style manual.
August is a time of duality: on the one hand, I want to soak up the last rays of the carefree summer sun, while on the other, I eagerly anticipate the back-to-business attitude of fall. Whether you're gearing up for a new school season, starting a new job, or reorganizing your studio, Etsy's School and Office Supplies, Room Decor, Storage Solutions, and Scholastic Style guides have all you need
As the summer comes to a close, we begin to update our wardrobes with fall-inspired looks. The coming season's must-haves include classic staples in shades of greens, browns, and turquoise with hints of metallic lighting up our accessories. Keep up with the fresh fashions by checking out our Seasonal Fashion Guide.
August lends itself well as a turning point from light summery elements to the whimsical woodland motifs of autumn. Seamlessly weave this transition into your upcoming wedding with bold hues and delicate forest-inspired detailing. Shop our Wedding Attire, Wedding Decor, Invites and Favors, and Wedding Gift Ideas guides for more inspiration.
Shopping for your summer country cottage or looking to introduce some backwoods serenity to your city wardrobe? Our rustic finds embody the folk-art aesthetic that celebrates the tradition in our objects. For more primitivist inspiration, shop our full Rustic Redux Guide.
August is known as a prime season for antiquing and the upcoming season's home trends are all about vintage inspired looks. Why waste money on a reproduction when you can get the real deal right here on Etsy? As icing on the cake, you're saving the environment one more piece of waste through the reuse of timeless goods. Shop our Vintage Guide for additional ideas for turning the old into the new.
Do you look forward to All Hallows' Eve all year round? Everyone loves a holiday where you're not only free to express your fears and fantasies, you're thoroughly encouraged to revel in them — and no place knows creative expression quite like Etsy! In planning your ghoulish decor and costumes, look to our Halloween Preview Guide for some spine-chillingly delightful inspiration. And remember, if you want to stand out this year amidst a sea of generic monsters, contact your favorite Etsy sellers early for custom designs!
This month we celebrate the hues of peridot, August's birthstone. Buying a peridot-inspired item is a thoughtful gift for new babies and August birthdays, or a vibrant jolt of color for your summer wardrobe. "Emerald of the evening" to the ancient Romans, peridot's gold-infused green is a dazzling synthesis of glamour and brio. Shop our full Shades of Peridot Guide for more inspiration.
