Autumn Essentials

My Autumn Essentials

Autumn is my favourite season. Not just because I am an Autumn baby, but because of the leaves, weather, fashion and environment. It's not too cold like Winter, but it's cold enough for the hats and scarves to come out. 

Fashion

My absolute favourite fashion trend is the tartan scarves. They are absolutely gorgeous and mine is from Boohoo. I feel they can make any outfit go from average to stylish. I also love beanies! I have one from Primark and although I can't pull them off. I still love them! 

Makeup

A dark lip is obviously going to mentioned here. I just love them! I am quite insecure wearing them as I am very much a nude girl at heart (oops that didn't sound right!). But as it was my birthday a couple of days ago, I received Rebel from MAC as a gift and I can't wait to wear it! It's a signature must have from MAC, I feel! However, I am partial to a cheap lip aswell, and MUA's lipstick in Shade 1 for a £1 couldn't go a miss either. 

Food

Of course it's the time for us to forget about wanting that bikini body and shaving our legs, am I right ladies or am I right? So a lot of food is essential. All I can say for this is CHOCOLATE. In particular, Roses from Cadburys, mmmmmm.

Drink

It is not the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. I haven't tried it, and I can't say I want to! I adore Whittards. They're a hot drinks company and oh my gaaaaahd, it's so good! My favourite hot chocolate is the Caramel hot chocolate. I recommend you try it ASAP. 

TV

As it isn't the time for being out in the cold right now, I see myself spending more and more time at home in bed! I have been addicted to Gossip Girl, i don't know what it is about Blair Waldorf but I want to be her so bad! 

So I hope you liked this little post, I was going to do a favourites but if I'm honest, I'd rather not as I don't give the best descriptions and terminology!

Thanks for reading :)

The Sweater Weather Tag

What better way to start the Autumn season by doing the infamous Sweater Weather tag?

1. Favorite candle scent?
Without fail, Fireside Treats by Yankee Candle! By favourite all year around but particularly in the winter time, I definitely recommend buying as it's sweet but not too sweet.

2.  Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
As an anxiety sufferer, I can't have caffeine. I have started drinking decaf tea but very rarely. However, hot chocolate is the one. My favourites are honeycomb, white and salted caramel.

3. What’s the best fall memory you have?
For me, it's singing "Autumn Days" in primary school. Also, firework night is the definition of a perfect night for me.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?
Dark lips. I feel as if winged eyeliner is an all around thing. Many people wear winged eyeliner on a daily basis. Dark lips is something every switches up to, the corals go and the darks come!

5. What do you want to be for Halloween?
I'm seriously contemplating Olaf from Frozen or Anna!

6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?
Ahhhh.. um in the UK, Thanksgiving isn't really a thing! I've never celebrated it but isn't it just like a roast dinner? I would say Yorkshire Puddings, but that's a complete British thing.

7. Hats or scarves?
Hats start off on my head, and end up in my bag. I don't suit them at all, unfortunately :( But I really love scarves, in particular tartan ones for this time of year.

8. Most worn sweater?
Mine is from Primark, it's a plain white jumper with detailing at the top meaning to be like a necklace. Unfortunately, no picture!

9. Favorite fall nail polish?
Mine is the deep reds, in particular "Thigh High" from Essie!

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?
Again, this is more an American thing, I think. But me and my dad do go to football games in the evening. (That would be considered soccer!)

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?
 Skinny jeans. I know leggings are more comfy and all that but I look a bit more put together in skiny jeans.

12. Combat boots or Uggs?
Uggs.  I don't even care.

13. What's your number one favourite thing about fall?
THE WEATHER.


I tag YOU to do this tag next. :)
