My Autumn Essentials

Happy October 1st, y'all! 

Fall, or Autumn, is my very favorite season and it makes me feel the happiest! Winter is definitely a close second. ;) There is just something so magical about the fall season that makes me wish that it could stay that way forever. Everyone slows down. They all relax and gaze at the beauty, that God has created, unfold before them in the loveliest of ways.

I thought I'd make a list of my personal fall essentials. I'm sure that everyone is different, but these are the things that I would recommend!

Blanket Scarf- I could never say enough good things about a big, cozy, blanket scarf. If it's plaid, it's even better! You can throw it on over anything and automatically look presentable and ready to go even when you don't feel like it. You can wrap the scarf around you since it's so big and wear it like a shawl. You can use it as a pillow if you're traveling. You can use it as an actual blanket if need be. There are so many ways that you can wear it as well! You can look on Pinterest and look at the many ways that people wear their blanket scarves. It will give you some great inspiration.

Mulled Cider Candle- Candles. Everyone loves them. They make everything smell terrific, for one, and they provide a warm and cozy light. They just kind of make you feel happy overall. Well...they do me anyways. For the fall season, I adore mulled cider candles. My cousin actually got me into them. They are just the perfect fall scent. They smell incredible! I also adore pumpkin candles. Aaahh. So good. 

Beanie- A beanie should just be a staple in every woman's wardrobe. Unless you don't like beanies, which is cool. You do you! :) They are so warm and cozy! I love them. I wear a black one all of the time in the colder months because it really goes with anything. It also gives your outfit a more casual vibe if that's the look you're going for. I'm pretty sure that beanies exist in every single color known to man. Since most of the heat escapes from your head, a beanie will help keep you warm.

Deep Red Lipstick- Not just red lipstick, DEEP red lipstick. There's a difference! ;) I love darker lipsticks in the fall and winter. They give a grungy and/or glamorous look depending on how you wear them. I am a lipstick fanatic anyways, so I like all of the dark colors. Give me all of the wine red lipsticks!!

Pumpkin Spice Creamer- Oh. My. Heavens. To. Betsy. This creamer is life. It tastes so amazing in your coffee and just reminds you of fall every time you take a sip. Yeah, I'm one of those girls who loves pumpkin spice anything. So, sue me! If you are a big fan of pumpkins in general, I'm pretty positive that you would love this creamer. I purchase mine at either Walmart or Ingles depending on where I am at the time.

Boots- Whether your style is amazingly grungy, or cute equestrian, boots can help to change up your look. Not only do they look really cute, but they keep your feet dry and toasty!  I am amazed by all of the various colors and details that they make. You can find boots with cool hardware or even floral print! The options are endless.

Vinyl Records- Aaahh. The sweet sound of vinyl. There is a raw, magical sound that takes place that you really can't describe unless you've heard it. Something you may not know about me is that I adore vinyl records. Since high school, I've always wanted a record player. I finally got one given to me from someone that didn't want it or want to use it anymore. Of course, I was super stoked! The same people were also giving away records. Oh, man. I was over the moon! I was so excited that an Elvis record was in one of the piles. It was very well loved. It has such character to it and I love that about it. I have several records now and I love them all. The record I've been listening to the most at the moment is the Charlie Brown Christmas record. I'm also a huge Charlie Brown fan. I can relate to him so much! haha I love the comic strips, movies, and episodes. They are just so cute and give me such nostalgia.

Socks- When you were a kid, I'm sure you hated getting clothes and socks, right? As adults, we seem to love them now. What a funny switcheroo! I definitely have a love for adorable socks. They make so many designs, colors, and patterns now. The novelty socks are some of my favorites and don't even get me started on fuzzy socks. They're pretty magical. I like showing off my socks in the fall and winter since I don't sweat profusely and can actually wear them. Get some socks with pumpkins all over it for that autumn touch!

Plaid Button Up- Yes, yes. We all know that I have an unhealthy obsession with anything plaid. Throw on a plaid button up over a graphic tee and jeans and call it a day! It can spice things up in a once plain outfit. They are wonderful layering pieces and can easily be taken off when needed. A button up, like a scarf, can make it look like you are more put-together than you actually are. You wanna know where I get my copious amounts of plaid button ups from? Thrift stores. They have the most amazing ones there. There are tons to choose from! Be warned, once you start, you can't stop. ;)
