In The Holiday, there's Cameron Diaz’s sleek, modern LA home, while Kate Winslet’s character offers up her quaint, cozy English cottage. If you lean more into Kate’s cozy vibe, especially in the fall & winter, here are some simple tips to transform your home into a rustic and cozy cottage this season. From fresh flowers to vintage art, these easy upgrades will help you capture that English charm in your home so you can sit back, relax, and admire.

Tip 1: Use A Soft, Neutral Color Palette

@sophia.at.home via Farrow & Ball

Choose soft whites, creams, pastels with touches of blue, sage green, and blush pinks in your decor. Paint a cozy reading nook with a soothing color like Farrow & Ball's Schoolhouse White, and look for vintage-style furniture made in natural fibers like linen or cotton. Bonus if you have a fireplace, but if not a candle will do!

Tip 2: Layer Natural Linens

Get cozy with plenty of pillows, quilts, and knitted throws to add layers of warmth and comfort (kitty optional;). Natural fiber rugs like jute, sisal, or wool rugs bring natural texture to the space, and light and airy curtains like linen or lace can help filter sunlight and create a romantic, cozy atmosphere.

Tip 3: Bring In Floral Elements

JJ's Flower Shop

Treat yourself to a subscription of fresh flowers, like this pastel bouquet from JJ's Flower Shop, perfectly neutral and natural for your cottage aesthetic. Display them in mason jars or vintage vases for a natural touch. Bring in small plants like succulents, herbs, or wildflowers, and add botanical prints and wallpapers with floral patterns to enhance the look.

Tip 4: Add A Warm Touch

Go for soft, warm lighting instead of bright overhead lights and light your favorite fall candleto create a cozy ambience, especially in candleholders made from metal, wood, or glass. Warm fairy lights create a magical glow and are perfect for mantels. Enjoy the season with a pot of soup, coffee, hot chocolate, or mulled wine and get hygge in the kitchen too!

Fall decorhas the ability to transform any room from drab to cozy with a few key accent pieces, but we have our eyes on the only things that truly make couch or bed rotting worth it — throw blankets. We know comforters and bedding sets are great and all, but who wants to lug their comforter to their couch every day?

We could use something that's a little more lightweight and allows us to curl up with our new bookssans getting overheated. If that's up your alley, here's 16 of the coziest blankets we've found on Amazon!

Amazon

Snuggle Sac Leopard Print Throw Blanket

If you look at this throw blanket too quick, you might miss its low key leopard pattern. It almost looks like a random circle designs instead of the fashionable fall print we're used to, but that's what we love about it. It's also ultra soft and comes packaged with a nice ribbon around it.

You can wash it after you've spent one too many cozy nights cuddling underneath it and dry it on a no-heat cycle.

Amazon

Bedsure Sage Green Throw Blanket

This gorgeous throw blanket has the best premium microfiber you've ever felt. It's also lightweight, so it won't feel like you're wrapped tight inside of a pizza oven. Oh, and the dying techniques used for this sage color makes this throw blanket practically fade-resistant.

Amazon

Bedsure Ultra Soft Throw Blanket

If you've never had a reversible throw blanket before, it's time to join the dark side. All jokes aside, one side is completely fleece while the other has a luxe sherpa texture you'll enjoy. That's double the fluffiness and nap-inducing warmth!

Amazon

LOMAO Sherpa Fleece Throw Blanket

Made of 100% polyester, this throw blanket is as soft as it is durable. We think the checkered design makes it great for college students who'll be on campus during the cooler months. It's perfect for those late night study sessions where you need to stay warm while you flip through flash cards with your roomies.

Amazon

Exclusivo Mezcla Fleece Throw Blanket

This microfiber polyester throw blanket is the lightweight, yet warm reading companion you need this fall. It has a jacquard pattern on one side, while the other is made of smooth flannel. That's all we need to hear!

Amazon

Maetoow Chenille Chunky Knit Throw Blanket

Everyone doesn't love polyester, so we have something that we think you'll like way better — a 100% chenille chunky knit blanket! The density of has been increased, meaning the knit is less loose and less likely to shed. That's always good news for anyone who doesn't want to find remnants of their blanket on their sofa or bed sheets.

Amazon

LURKA Checkered Throw Blanket

This lightweight, checkered blanket isn't just the softest living room addition you can snag right now — it also has temperature-regulating properties! Don't be surprised if you find your fur baby curled up on it, though. They may claim it before you have a chance to read the next book in your TBR stash.

Amazon

DISSA Yellow Fleece Throw Blanket

"The best throw blanket doesn't exist" won't leave your mouth once this fleece option arrives at your doorstep. It has the comfiest microfiber flannel design that makes it soft and lightweight, plus it's easy to clean.

Toss it in your washing machine on a cold cycle and tumble dry it on low heat.

Amazon

PU MEI Reversible Sherpa Throw Blanket

This is a little bigger than your average blankets, but we say the more the merrier! Sherpa and flannel seem to be key to most of the cozy blankets we've found which is why you'll find them on either side of this throw!

Amazon

Puncuntex Super Soft Throw Blanket

Everyone needs at least one dark green throw blanket in their lives because it's one of the best fall colors (excuse our bias).

The plush microfiber is not only soft and breathable, but the color is also fade-resistant. It can give an otherwise minimalist living room a pop of color!

Amazon

Bedsure Cable Knit Throw Blanket

This farmhouse style blanket looks like it's meant for cozy evenings in the front of the fireplace. Even if you don't have a fireplace, we can see you sipping hot cocoa on your patio or balcony with this blanket draped around your shoulders.

Amazon

Cozy Bliss Faux Fur Throw Blanket

We can't stop thinking about Bambi while looking at this blanket, but luckily no animals were harmed while making it. It's another reversible design that has faux rabbit fur on one side and teddy sherpa on the other.

You'll get all the warmth that hibernating mammals have when they're resting — without the animal cruelty part.

Amazon

BEDELITE Fleece Blanket

Enjoy this simple fleece blanket as you curl up in bed to binge watch the Gilmore Girls. You'll feel cozy as you relive the moments that make us question Rory Gilmore's judgement.

Amazon

YUSOKI Sherpa Throw Blanket

Match your new pumpkin throw pillows from Amazon with this sherpa blanket! It's a little heavier than typical throw blankets, but that's not a bad thing if you want to create a little cocoon to read your book in.

Amazon

Blagic Knitted Throw Blanket

Made of 100% acrylic fabric, this silky blanket is fluffy and resistant to the sun's rays! It has an abstract design that feels vintage and might remind you of the blankets you used to fall asleep under at your grandparents' home.

Amazon

EVERGRACE Zebra Print Throw Blanket

This feather yarn blanket has all the makings of a stylish, yet cozy home decor piece. But, don't let the lightweight design fool you.

You'll still get the warmth you need and can trust that the Oeko-tex standard 100 certified rating means you have one of the best blankets on the market.

Fans have been enthralled by Outlander ever since it debuted in 2014 — hence why the show has gone on to have seven successful seasons, with the eighth and final season expected to premiere late this year or in 2026. Fans truly can't get enough of Claire and Jamie's great romance, and it doesn't have to completely end with season 8...or not exactly.

However, Claire's life takes a dramatic turn when she is mysteriously transported back to 1743, where her safety and freedom are at risk. In order to survive, she marries a strong and charismatic Scots warrior named Jamie Fraser. Then, as their relationship deepens, Claire finds herself torn between two very different men and two conflicting worlds.

How many seasons of 'Outlander' will there be?

Whether you're an OG fan of Outlander or a newcomer, many are upset about it coming to an end soon with Season 8. The good news is that you have a prequel series to look forward to, Outlander: Blood of My Blood.

I am undeniably a chocolate lover by nature, and aside from Christmas, Easter is one of my favoritesweet treat-centered holidays because all the festive egg- and bunny-shaped chocolates hit shelves, sparking my cravings (and teasing my wallet).

I’ve probably tried every kind of Easter chocolate under the sun, so I’m ranking the 5 I view as the most classic. All of these Easter chocolates are great in their own ways and will certainly satisfy anyone when added to their Easter basket, so take this ranking with a grain of salt.

Read on for my full ranking of the 5 best classic Easter chocolates.

Amazon

1. Cadbury Crème Eggs

When I think of Easter chocolates, my mind immediately goes to Cadbury Crème Eggs. They’re filled with a gooey fondant that is downright addictive. Once you break through the chocolate shell, you’re faced with a deliciously silky sugar concoction that, for me, feels really nostalgic to snack on since I’d get one in my Easter basket just about every year.

While some people may find ‘em too decadent, I think Cadbury Crème Eggs are the #1 Easter chocolate, hands-down, because they’re always tasty. We love a reliable treat – but you definitely do have to enjoy these one at a time since they’re undeniably rich.

Amazon

2. Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs

Next up on my (very subjective) ranking of Easter chocolates is none other than Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs! I’ll take Reese’s stunning peanut butter filling in any form I can have it, but the egg shape this treat takes on for Easter just makes it feel even more special.

Amazon

Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs totally master the perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter, which can be a nice departure for my tastebuds from just straight-up chocolate, like the other Easter chocolates on this list. Thus, I’m placing it in the #2 spot.

Amazon

3. Easter M&M’s

I love me a colorful treat, and I love me some M&M’s – which is why the Easter M&M’s that come in the cutest pastels every April simply had to place somewhere this ranking.

Amazon

Though I don’t view these as the most show-stopping Easter chocolates (they’re quite literally the same as the regular M&M’s you can get year-round in flavor and form), they’re still a festive treat worth snagging from the store. By themselves, I have to put them in the #3 spot – though I’d consider granting more points if you give ‘em to me on top of a slice of Easter cake.

Amazon

4. Cadbury Mini Eggs

My note about colors also applies to the next Easter chocolate: Cadbury Mini Eggs. Decked out in adorable pastel candy shells, these egg-shaped chocolates always come around at Eastertime – though they’re not really the first thing I reach for. Though, when I do get my hands on them, I find that their small size makes them extremely snackable, and they disappear quite quickly.

Amazon

5. Chocolate Bunnies

I don't mean to be the Scrooge of Easter, but at this point, chocolate bunnies are so expected. I have eaten many in my lifetime, but they never truly blow me away. Don’t get me wrong: I still love chocolate, but there’s also something that feels so wrong when I bite off the bunny’s ears. And face. And body.

It would take a really great chocolate bunny to impress me – most ones I’ve had are lower in quality and vary in being too thick or too thin to bite into easily.
