Fall Favorites

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers”

- L.M. Montgomery

Happy October 1st, fellow fall obsess-ee’s! You and I both know this is the very best time of year… Until Christmas rolls around. Then game over for everyone because you know I will drag you out to every single Christmas event (even in -25 weather, you are coming with me to watch the Santa Claus parade. Just ask my husband. Lucky man.) 

When the leaves start changing colours, oversized sweaters and knee high boots resurface, HALLOWEEN & all pumpkin everything. I’m totally in my happy place. This quote says IT ALL:

“I love sweater season. Am I wearing a bra? Who knows. Am I wearing what I wore to bed under it? Maybe.”

When I watched the original video of this tag by Jaclyn Hill I was super excited to participate. So I curled up in my office, threw on Hocus Pocus and had to reaaaally put in the work to narrow down my answers

Favourite Fall Candle

Sweater Weather from Bath & Body Works. YUM!

Close second: Pumpkin Brûlée by Yankee Candle

Favourite Lip Colour

Mac’s Rebel… Forever and always my fall love!

Favourite Drink

Keeping it the most basic here - I love Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks
If we’re talking adult beverages… Red wine, always. Malbec, please + thanks!

Favourite Blush

Mac Gingerly

Favourite Clothing Item

Plaid Blanket Scarfs. Anything that I can generously drape all around my body is a must have in my books! Cozy is the name of the game

Favourite Movie

Easiest question of them all. HALLOWEENTOWN. I live for this movie. My nephews are coming over this weekend to help me decorate for Halloween and I can’t wait to finally watch it

Favourite TV Show

Probably Empire. Cookie is my spirit animal.
 I’m watching Scandal on Netflix right now and once I get all caught up I know I will be anticipating new episodes on Thursday nights

Favourite Thanksgiving Food

My Papa’s stuffing! My favourite of all the goodies on the table at turkey dinners. Also my Mother In Law makes this bomb veggie casserole type dish that is one of the yummiest things ever

Favourite Halloween Costume

I was a gypsy when I was super young, like REALLY YOUNG, like when I lived on Vancouver Island young, so before Kindergarten and I remember it so clearly. It was and always will be my favourite.

...Should we all just take a moment of silence to digest how handsome my Dad is? 

And that my friends wraps up the FALL TAG. I have big plans this month for lots of Halloween looks! I posted my quick Pop Art look on my Instagram yesterday and I have 3 other for sure looks in the works so stay tuned for those!

“None of us are getting out of here alive,

so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Eat the delicious food.

Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. 

Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure.

Be silly.  Be kind. Be weird.

There’s no time for anything else.”
