Local Spots For Insta Worthy Fall Photo Ops & Flannel Wearing With Your Friends

See this content in the original post

It’s that time again.

Time to get your (hey I’m) on-the-farm fotos up on social.

You know the drill. Big smiles. Perfectly distressed denim. The occasional flannel thrown in for good measure. Oh and consider yourself warned - some ppl are trying to make brown lipstick happen again. (Everything 90’s is new again apparently. Remember when we were all wearing Toast of NY from Revlon and the hey days of Bobbi Brown?)

And you definitely don’t wanna blink.

Because then you might miss it, and find yourself right in the thick of the look-how-cute-my-parka-and-knit- hat-are photo cycle. Also known as November. (Extra bragging points if you can incorporate some hot chocolate in cute mugs in the aforementioned scenario.)

Exactly why today we’re shining a light on three of the most popular spots to see, be seen, and snap pics from this month, more specifically in the Tiverton/Little Compton area of the OS.

1. Walker's Roadside Stand

Walker's Roadside Stand does not disappoint. You’ll find lots of inspo, from pumpkins sitting on top of rock walls to heaps of glorious gourds and other autumnal veggies just waiting to be snapped. (Farm-tastic!) Yes, it’s beautiful, bucolic, and RI scenic at its Instagram worthy best. Also, Rhody based Insta Superstar Abby Capalbo just updated from there a few days ago, in case you need another reason to go.

2. The Cafe & Tasting Room At Sakonnet 

Enter wining. After all those outdoor photos at Walkers and in the vicinity, motor over to Sakonnet for some vino and snacks (also for the record, not counting the roadside stands, it’s literally the only sit down restaurant in all of LC), and maybe a few moments to mull over what’s on those camera rolls. This might be a good time to also mention that almost no one uses the standard IG filters anymore (in other words, don’t do it!) and that adding some light and brightness by going in and adjusting the exposure and saturation can do wonders for what at first glance might look like a dud of a pic (even Christie Brinkley said as much during her recent rounds on the talk show circuit to promote her skincare line or some new anti-aging something or other).

3. Gray's Ice Cream Stand At Tiverton Four Corners

Almost everyone we know mentions Gray’s when pressed for their list of East Bay favorites. So of course we had to stop for a few scoops of chocolate (YOLO, and you probably just burned off some cals walking the farms, so whatevs) and some pints to bring home. Open 365 days a year, they have so many more options to choose from in addition to classic flavors like choc, vanilla, coffee, etc. for the ice cream traditionalist in your life.
