Top 10 Tuesday, Fall Edition

I used to think summer was my favourite season. I love warm weather and going out without a jacket, wearing sandals and flats, and basically just not being cold. Sure, fall has its downsides, in my area those mainly start with the letter 'r' (rain, rain, and more rain), but as they say, it takes the negatives to truly enjoy the positives. So without further ado, a few of my favourite things about fall...

1. Holiday Drinks
Of course there are the classic Pumpkin Spice Lattés, Peppermint Mochas, which are delicious! My personal favourite is the Caramel Brulée Latté at Starbucks, it has crunchy bits of caramel on top of the whip cream. It's a delicious, smooth, and caffeinated luxury on a chilly fall day.

2. Fall Fashion
Scarves, jackets, and boots are right up my alley. Nothing like a big comfy sweater and a pair of knee-high boots with socks peeking out to make you feel effortlessly comfortable and yet fashionable.

3. Fireplaces
Honestly I'd sit in front of the fireplace all year round if I didn't feel so ridiculous. I love the warmth and watching a fire is so soothing, especially with it going in the background while you read a good book.


4. Onesies
Nothing is comfier than curling up with a hot drink by the fireplace with a blanket... or just a wearable one (AKA a onesie)! I got this onesie last week at Bluenotes for $25. I'm a bit of a cat lover, so this was perfect!

Don't ask me why she's wearing Converse with a onesie...

5. Christmas is coming!
As soon as Halloween is over the Christmas decorations are up in stores, and I honestly don't mind a bit. Christmas is always a series of elaborate traditions in my family and we have so much fun during the holidays. I love that "Christmas feeling," it's like one of few things I get to hold on to from when I was a kid.




6. Fall Colours
Maroon, greys, golds and blacks are my favourite colours to wear. I'm pretty sure about 25% of my wardrobe is maroon and the majority of my jewelry is gold. I'm just glad that in the fall my preferences align with the colours that are actually in style.

7. Dark Lipstick
There is no better time to rock a dark lip than fall. I'm really loving the Covergirl LipPerfection Lipsticks right now. They have a huge colour selection and they're super moisturizing, they just feel so nice and smooth on your lips. Just watch out because some of the shades are quite frosted, so if you don't love frosted lipsticks be sure to swatch the tester on your hand.

8. Great Movies
A bunch of awesome movies tend to come out in October and November. It used to be Harry Potter movies, and now it's Hunger Games. I'm so excited for Mockingjay Part I, and I think it's going to be amazing. Plus the promotion for this movie has been incredible. I mean, just watch this promo video.

9. Halloween Dressing up is always a ton of fun, whether that means buying a prepackaged costume or creating your own. I always love seeing the super creative ideas some people come up with.

10. New School Term I love fresh starts. Spring cleaning, a new computer, a new year, or a new school term, I always feel like each new beginning represents an opportunity to do better.
