fall favs

i believe that fall is every girls most favorite season.  i personally love fall because my birthday is in september.  even though it's at the very beginning of the month, i still count it as fall.  i also love football, scarves, plaid and anything furry and warm.  so, i wanted to make a list of a couple of my fall favs.  some of these will be of no surprise. some may be.

first up is vinylux in blood line.  this is a little pricier nail polish at $10.50.  however, it is worth absolutely every penny.  i first discovered this brand in las vegas during a mani and pedi session.  i didn't understand the hype at the salon until a week later and my nails still looked like i just got them done yesterday.  this is a win for me as i can paint my nails and one day later already chip a couple.  this is a very rich dark red/burgundy color which is what i was looking for as my fall nail shade.  i purchased it in blood line and masquerade.  masquerade is very similar just more shiny/shimmery than blood line.  so far, OBSESSED with this shade and i've only had it on for a week.

i feel like if you don't know about this scarf then you don't pin enough.  hello almost every other pin on pinterest!  this plaid scarf is awesome.  i purchased mine at amazon.  i fell in love with this scarf obviously on pinterest but HAD TO HAVE IT when we decided we wanted to do fall engagement pictures.  i intend to wear it with a black long sleeve shirt tucked in to a tulle knee length skirt.  i'll post some pictures when we get them (probably in nov).  plaid is a must for fall and if you can get it in a blanket scarf, do it!

i sent my fiance grocery shopping one afternoon and he came home with this.  heaven.  i love the version at starbucks but this is a more affordable and convenient version for me.  it tastes very similar to the starbucks version.  maybe tastes better..

these michael antonio bardot boots are gorgeous.  i first saw them on my nieces cheerleading coach a few years ago.  i never got the chance to ask her about them.  so, i spent one afternoon researching tan glitter boots. just be aware that they're kind of tall.  i'm 5'1" and the front part stops right at the bottom of my knee.  however, the glitter stays put and the rest of the boot fits really well.  i believe there is a black version on heels as well.  i'm trying really hard to resist that purchase. :) if you like compliments though, these boots are a fall must!  i get compliments on them every time i wear them.

i recently went to target and blew my budget on all their new fall clothes.  this is one of the items i purchased.  this faux fur vest is a must for fall.  i love layering in the cooler months and this will easily be a staple for this season.  you could literally put this with almost any outfit and make it look luxe.

sticking with the layering theme, leather is a must for fall.  but when you're living on a budget it's hard to find good pieces at a reasonable price, you have to do some research.  i have a few faux leather leggings i have purchased in the past from forever 21.  but i have at least 4 leather jackets that i have collected over the years from express.  i think for a pant, you can go really cheap like forever 21 and find decent quality.  for the most part, your pants will be black and you'll be wearing a flowy top that will hopefully cover your lady regions.  this will keep from the main focus being the cheap pants.  but for a jacket, you need something with higher quality.  i think express makes a very reasonably priced and high quality faux leather jacket.  especially when coupons are available. i have this jacket in black, beige, clay and whiskey.  i really love leather in neutral colors so that i can use them season after season.

my number one snack during fall is definitely caramel apples.  even in the summertime during fairs and festivals, i will purchase a caramel apple.  but in the fall, i will find myself going for this snack more often than not.  who doesn't love a good messy caramel apple??

for fall movies, i know this is totally random.  or maybe not.  but i really am obsessed with the rocky horror picture show.  i try to keep some movies seasonal that i will watch at least once during a season.  this is one of the movies i'll save for october. who doesn't love a little bit of cross dressing and singing??  also, if you ever have the opportunity to watch it live and be a part of an interactive audience, DO IT.  best night of my life.  and if you've never even seen this movie, get out from under the rock you're living under and watch it!  it will change your life.  it's so bad, it's good.

i couldn't do a fall favs list without adding bath and body works candles.  this flavor, pumpkin coconut, is probably my favorite.  it smells like i've been baking all day when i burn it.  i really only like candles that smell like food or cinnamon and bath and body works always hits the mark for me.

finally, as the weather gets colder and you're constantly using heaters, your skin will dry out.  so, a good body lotion is a must.  this dream cream from lush is awesome! it has kind of like a vanilla smell but it's very faint.  the formula isn't sticky and it absorbs in to the skin quickly.  i love it.

happy fall ya'll!
