Top Eight Things I love about Autumn!!

Hello everyone!!

Autumn is such a lovely time of the year. It is the time for relaxing after a summer full of fun and before the rush for Christmas. I have always loved autumn, ever since I can remember it has been my favourite season. The little things about autumn make it so special. There are so many things that I love about autumn and I thought that I would write a list of them. 

1. Crunchy leaves

The sensation you feel when you are walking, you step on a leaf, and it crunches puts a huge smile on my face. I do not know why I love it so much but I do and it is rather sad because whenever I see a leaf I walk towards it just to hear the crunch.

2. Autumn colours 

I love them. As soon as it hits autumn and the shops start filling with clothes coloured from orange to burgundy to brown, it makes me happy. They are not the brightest of colours but it does not matter because I love them. My favourite for this season is cobalt blue; it is a pretty colour all year round but especially in autumn.

3. Pumpkin spiced lattes from Starbucks.

 It is literally autumn in a cup; it is the perfect drink to have in the colder days as it warms you up on the first sip. This drink is probably my all time favourite drink from starbucks.

4. Beanie hats

 As I mentioned in my autumn tag I love them and as soon as autumn hits I venture out to buy a new one. I recently bought one from primark to add to my collection and it is rather cosy.

5. Halloween

 It is my most favourite thing about autumn so it had to be included. There is something about Halloween that automatically makes me happy. My favourite thing to do in the autumn season is to chill on the sofa watching Halloween films. I went out at the weekend and spent a large amount of money on decorations but it is for Halloween so it is acceptable. I think what makes me love it so much is the dressing up part, I love putting on an act and being something/someone else which explains why I am acting student.

 6. Salted caramel

 Whether it is salted caramel hot chocolates or salted caramel sauce, I love it. As soon as I hear that something has salted caramel flavouring I think of autumn. It’s such a weird combination of flavours that work so well together

7. Guy Fawkes Night

An annual celebration filled with bonfires and firework displays. I am not the hugest fan of fireworks as I think they are dangerous but I love the whole atmosphere that surrounds that night. Every year I go to one of my local parks with my friends and the rest of the city to watch the firework display and its great fun.

8. Dark lips

One of the only times that I can actually pull of dark lips and not look terrible is during autumn. I have been wearing them a lot recently and I just think they look great. My favourites of the moment are Makeup Revolution’s “Rebel with Cause” and the Revlon lip butter in “Red Velvet”.


Hope you enjoyed hearing what my top eight things about the autumn season are!

Autumn Wishlist

Hello everyone!!

Today I have a little autumn wish list for y'all. Lately I have been lusting over a few items for the autumn season and thought I would share them with you. The first being a new autumn/winter jacket, it is a navy parka from H&M and I love it. I seen this greyish jumper from H&M the other day in store and fell in love but they did not have my size so I’m on the hunt for this but it is so cosy and would be perfect for the colder weather. The next two items are beauty products, a nail polish and an eye shadow. The nail polish is from the Barry M gelly range in Paprika and it is this gorgeous burnt orange colour, perfect for autumn. The eye shadow is cranberry from MAC, my sister owns this but I hate having to ask her for it so I think its time I bought my own. The next thing is from the new Zoella beauty range and its one of her makeup bags; I love the design of this and think it’s really cute. I do not really need a new makeup bag but I love this one. The last thing is a candle from Village Candle and it’s in the scent spiced pumpkin. I love all things pumpkin scented so I cannot wait to smell this.

Autumn TAG!!

Hello everyone!!

Today I am going to be doing the Autumn Tag 2014 that I seen a few people do and  decided because I love tags & Autumn I would do it. As it is autumn and of course that is my favourite season I thought it would be appropriate to do an Autumn Tag. 

  1.    Ok, we are talking coffees – what is your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks? 

I love Pumpkin spice lattes; they are delicious and always make me feel so cosy. Every time I get it, I automatically have a smile on my face because it just makes me so happy. I also love the smell of it when I open the lid, it just screams AUTUMN!!!!

2.    Accessories – what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves.

As soon as it starts to get colder, I tend to start buying beanie hats. They are a staple for autumn/winter time, they make your head warm but some of them are awesome looking. I love the ones with a bobble at the end.

3.    Music – what is your favourite music to listen to during autumn?

My music taste does not really change throughout the year apart from Christmas time when I sing Christmas songs all day. Autumn time just calls for the same music I listen to all year round.

4.    Perfume – what’s your favourite scent for this time of year?

This is a hard one... I do not have any perfumes that smell of autumn scents but lately I have been loving Philosophy Living Grace. Even though it is a rather fresh scent and normally associated with summer, I have been wearing it a lot lately.

5.    Candles – what scents will you be burnings this season?

Anything with Cinnamon & Pumpkin in it is all I burn. When I was in NYC earlier in the year I picked up a couple of Bath and Body Works candles in Mahogany Teakwood and have saved them just for Autumn. 

6.    What do you love most about Autumn?

Crunchy leaves & Halloween are my favourite!!! I also love the colours (oranges, burgundy, purples etc), pumpkins, the changing of the leaves, baking things with cinnamon flavours. Oh, I just love everything about autumn.

7.    Favourite makeup look?

I love darker lips, like a berry colour. I really like using a lot warmer colours such as orange in my eye makeup as I think it just looks so pretty.

8.    What are you looking forward to most in autumn?

I am so looking forward to HALLOWEEN this year, even though I always do. I'm most excited about all the things I have planned to bake. When I was younger, we used to always carve pumpkins but as the years went on that tradition faded, so maybe this year I will carve one again.

Thank you all for reading & I hope you do it too!!!

Yankee Candle Mini Haul

Hello everyone!!

The other day I decided I wanted some new candles as I'm getting rather tired of my Christmas scents because I still haven't used them all up. I got three mini yankee candles and they all smell super good. The first two smell really fresh and are great for spring whereas November Rain is a autumn scent but I love it a lot.

Waikiki Melon - Aloha! Wake up to the sunny, sweet glow of exotic, juicy melons with a touch of sweet orange oil.

Vanilla Lime - Smooth and refreshing … the creamy richness of vanilla with sweet cane sugar and a zesty lime twist.

November Rain - A quiet interlude of the season is reflected in this airy, refreshing mix of watery leaf notes, warm amber and crisp, brisk air.

Thank you for reading!!

Sweater Weather Tag

Hello everyone, I've seen a lot of people do the sweater weather tag on youtube recently so I wanted to do it :)


1. Favorite candle scent?
I really like yankee candles cinnamon sticks and november rain :) 

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
It would have to be coffee :) I do enjoy english breakfast tea but coffee always wins over it.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?
I don't really have any if i'm honest, I do enjoy walking through the park near my house when it's Autumn because the ground is covered in orange/red/brown leaves and it looks so pretty.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 
Dark lips :)

5. Best fragrance for fall?
Lately I have been wearing Darling by Kylie Minogue, I love the scent and its a little bit more appropriate compared to my Davidoff Cool Water Game perfume which is more summery.

6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?
Here in the UK we don't celebrate Thanksgiving so my favourite Christmas dinner food is pigs in blankets (sausage wrapped in bacon) or my Grans roast potatos :)

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?
Its freezing!!!!! This year its been cold with sun or raining really heavily.

8. Most worn sweater?
It would have to be an army green one I have with a star in the middle or my blue knitted one from tesco.

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?
Essie MIdnight Cami or Warm & Fozzie by OPI

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?
Our football games in the UK aren't really just an Autumn thing so I'm going to pick jumping in leaf piles :)

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?
I only ever really wear leggings with dresses which is a rare occasion whereas I wear skinny jeans 90% of the time. So it would have to be skinny jeans.

Uggs, I don't own a real pair but own a pair from a brand fairly similar to it and I love them. They are so cosy and I love them.

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?
It sure is, I LOVE IT!!!!!!

14. Favorite fall TV show?
Does the xfactor count? It's all I have really watched this Autumn if I'm honest.
