As we enter the holiday season ahead, seek out these creature comforts in the form of comfy clothing materials, hot teas and tasty bites. Here are a few you should definitely embrace from Seaside merchants this fall.
Perspicasity - Love for Layers
Snuggle into a blend comprised of merino wool in this shawl vest from Michael Stars this season. Pictured here in gorgeous oxide, it is available in a toasty oatmeal shade as well. These beauties are the perfect choice for layering over longsleeves for a versatile yet trendsetting look. Available in sizes XS-L for $229. See photo top.

Mercantile - A Soft Touch
The Barefoot Dreams Wrap is the ultimate in coziness. In fact, this may just be the softest piece of clothing you’ll ever own. It’s lightweight enough to be worn year-round, but especially ideal for cooler, chillier evenings. Available in five colors and in two sizes (S/M and L/XL) for $99.

Bud & Alley’s Pizza Bar + Trattoria - Launching Lunch into Fall
Chef Phil at Bud & Alley’s Pizza Bar + Trattoria has a salad foodies will “fall” in love with. Snuggle up to a warm and colorful Grilled Squash Salad that celebrates the deliciousness of the fall season. It is a marvelous medley of grilled squash, radicchio, currants, hazelnuts, yogurt, chili and salsa verde. This dish is a beautiful and healthy way to welcome autumn to your belly. Enjoy it while gazing upon the gorgeous view of the Gulf just beyond the Coleman Pavilion and this meal will become priceless.
