With the arrival of Labor Day, the unofficial start of fall is set to begin. The cooler-than-normal summer that swept parts of the country has left some people with more to be desired. Others, however, are already in the swing of fall.
Because of a chillier summer for many, cooler temperatures may have pushed fall into the forefront of everyone's minds.
The upcoming season is already a huge trend on social sharing sites like Pinterest. Users by the thousands can be seen "pinning" fall fashion, future Thanksgiving recipes and decorating tips. Christine Schirmer, head of consumer public relations for the company, said that fall fashion is a particularly prominent query for the site and as of last week was a top 10 interest for users.

"Last year the trending queries for Halloween costumes began in August and we're seeing that pattern again in 2014," she said.

Halloween Candy

In late-August, grocery stores were already prepping for the rush to stock up on Halloween candy for trick-or-treaters. While some may have welcomed the chocolate-shaped pumpkins and classic candy corn, other were not ready for the heavy reminder that summer is ending soon.
