1. Cable, some sort of streaming service, anything to watch all the new fall premiers of basically every TV show. Some of the shows I look forward to watching are Arrow, The Flash, Gotham, and Jane the Virgin to name a few.
2. Some good books to curl up with. Something about the weather getting a bit crispier and not as sunny (something that is only just starting to happen in Fl!) just makes me want to read more. I typically get into moods about reading and it is during the fall that I usually feel the need to read as many books as I can.
3. Grungy makeup look. I love a good grungy, messy eye shadow look pretty much any time of the year, but I feel like I can get even darker and messier with it in the fall. My personal preference is more for a dramatic eye than a bold lip that I feel is often the trend in fall.
4. Tea. I am not a pumpkin spice kind of girl. Never have been and probably never will be. I much prefer a nice warm mug of tea. I am a long time lover of chamomile and pretty much any relaxation type of tea with a spoon of honey as opposed to sugar. A warm glass of tea really warms up the soul.
5. Ankle boots and leather jackets. These are the epitome of fall fashion for me. Ankle boots and leather jackets are staples in a wardrobe. They are something that can be worn in a casual manner as well as adding some edge to an outfit that is a little more put together looking.
6. Nude and dark nail polish. I mainly paint my nails in the fall and winter because I am not too crazy about loud colors on my nails. There's also the fact that I really begin to lose any sense of a tan in the fall and I really like the way dark polishes look on pale skin.
7. Sweatshirts. A little less glamorous than ankle boots and leather jackets, but I love the fall because it is the perfect time to bust out the crew neck sweatshirts and hoodies that I basically live in. This hasn't been something that I have indulged in much as of yet seeing as Florida still believes that it is the summer, but I am promised that it will get that cold eventually. Luckily the ac is always running and so I get to wear them indoors at least.
8. Fall scented candles. Moving to the south I definitely lost that fall air a bit, but I am compensating with candles that smell like falling leaves.
9. Beauty releases. I love that so much new makeup is released with the new season. It is a great time to really experiment with makeup.
10. Redecorating. Getting rid of the bright colors of summer and embracing the warm reds and golden colors of fall is one of my favorite things. I embrace fall tones so hard when it comes to decorating my apartment. There is something about that it that makes everything feel more homey.
What are some of your fall must haves?
