Happy Mid Autumn (Moon) Festival!
What is your most unforgettable image and memory for this season?
Maybe it’s because the fall season is too short in Taiwan that I had never been impressed by this beautiful season. However, when I was staying in New York, I was always obsessed with this comfortable cool season and atmosphere, especially the food and fashion. The pumpkin décor and recipes inspired by this season were also another obsession.
Since Starbucks started to sell pumpkin latte, everyone knows: It’s time for fall.
I have prepared many posts for sharing my love for “falling” in love with this beautiful season, stay tuned!

先祝大家中秋節快樂！
不知道大家對秋天的印象是什麼呢？
或許是台灣秋季太短，我從前並未對四季的更迭有深刻的感受，但是在紐約的兩年中，對秋天的迷人涼意與風情是深深嚮往，尤其歐美人喜愛的南瓜裝飾與食譜在秋天更是被發揮得淋漓盡致。
從星巴克開始販售南瓜南鐵，大家就知道：秋天已經到來。
這個月會有更多秋季的主題文章喔，希望你們喜歡！

When in New York, I remember: Fall starts from a venti pumpkin latte.
The temperature of New York was fluctuating. It could become a hot day of 30 degrees Celsius with a cool day of 20 degrees Celsius the next day. The clothing store started to have discounts for summer fashion, and people put on their knit and scarfs. The fashion color on the street had changed from white, light blue, yellow to green, camel, and burgundy red. However, it was still not easy to know the exact time of the coming of fall.
Until Starbucks on the corner of your block began to serve pumpkin latte.
記得以前在紐約的時候，秋天，是從星巴克的一杯南瓜南鐵開始的。
紐約的夏末，溫差極大，可以上週是炎熱的攝氏30度，下一週就是微涼的20度，服飾店開始打折出清夏天的短袖服裝，人們開始穿起針織跟戴上絲巾，漸漸的，路上行人的顏色由白色、淺藍色、黃色，轉變為綠色、駝色、酒紅色，即使如此，卻還是很難知道秋天真正到來的日子。
直到街角的星巴克開始賣起第一杯南瓜拿鐵。
I am not sure of people in other countries, but the color of fall of New Yorkers must be the color of the pumpkin.
Starting from the limited pumpkin beverages from Starbucks, we would drink warm coffee, put on long sleeve knitted clothes. And the tree became golden with the fallen leaves adding a golden blanket on the street. You could buy either real or toy pumpkins for décor. The windows of café, restaurants, and clothing stores would have pumpkins ornaments. They could be cute little pumpkins, or big vintage pumpkin art crafts.
I always like to put on some seasonal décor at my place, so I can feel the succession of four seasons even at home. I bought three fake pumpkins with different sizes. They were lovely and cheap, and perfect fit for my window frame. Their colors were a beautiful gradation of orange, too, which were colors of fall. Only these three little things could bring the fall atmosphere to my studio.
其他城市的人我不確定，但是紐約人的秋天，絕對是南瓜的顏色。
從星巴克的限定南瓜系列飲料開始，大家會喝溫熱的飲料、穿上微微保暖的衣服、學校樹木的葉子會轉為黃色、超市會賣起各種大小的南瓜，有真的南瓜，也有假的南瓜裝飾品、各家咖啡廳、餐廳、服飾店的櫥窗，也都會加上南瓜裝飾，有些俏皮的小南瓜，也有復古狂放的大南瓜。
我就喜歡在每個季節擺上一些符合時節的擺飾，我當時在超市買了三個大中小尺寸都有、三個一組的南瓜擺飾，不但樣子可愛，價格也很便宜，他們三個剛好可以擺在我的窗櫺，三個顏色分別由淺到深，是漂亮的漸層，就這樣小小的裝飾，就可以為我的窗沿增添許多秋季的氣氛。
Another thing in this season is the pumpkin recipe. Besides the pumpkin latte from Starbucks, you could also get a pumpkin cup in the café, or the season limited pumpkin bread, pumpkin cake, and don’t forget the pumpkin pie loved by everyone and good for any of the three meals in a day.
If you are not a big fan of pumpkin desserts, you can always try pumpkin colored clothes. A pumpkin color knit top, with the chic burgundy red color midi or pants is the perfect match. To be lower profile, you can put on the pumpkin tone red lip color to show the fashion of this elegant and intriguing season.
在這個季節裡，更讓人期待的就是各種南瓜食譜了，除了星巴克的招牌南瓜拿鐵之外，你可以在街角的早餐店買到一杯南瓜濃湯，也可以在糕餅店看到季節限定的南瓜麵包、南瓜蛋糕，更別忘了，人人都愛而且三餐都適合的南瓜鹹派。
如果你不是特別愛南瓜食譜，也可以試試南瓜色的服裝，一件南瓜色的針織衫，搭上今年流行的酒紅色的長裙或是長褲，都是入秋最應景的時尚，當然，也可以搭上你的百搭單寧褲，再更低調一些，你可以挑一支今年非常流行的南瓜磚紅色唇膏，用你的唇色訴說秋季的迷人涼意。
Maybe I didn’t have any feelings for pumpkins originally, but my love for fall has never decreased. Especially the wind of fall, gently blowing the streets, is the overture of winter. The pumpkin decors in the windows, the colors on pedestrians, and the warm and delicious desserts, soup and beverages make fall in New York the fall of pumpkins.
或許我原本對於南瓜並沒有特別的情感，但是住過紐約兩年多，我依然喜愛秋冬勝過夏日，尤其秋季的風，微涼的拂過街道，是凜冽冬日的序曲，路上隨處可見的大小南瓜擺飾、行人穿上身的溫暖柔和的南瓜色，與可口香濃的南瓜糕點和熱湯飲料，紐約的秋天，是南瓜色的秋天。
