The Autumn TAG | Hello Autumn!

I love Autumn, I think it may be my favourite season. Seeing as it's starting to creep in, I'm talking cold, damp mornings, crunchy leaves and rainy evenings. I thought what better way to note my first Autumn post this year than with an Autumn TAG- I wasn't tagged to do this but I love participating in TAGs every now and then!

Favourite thing about Autumn?

It's got go be cosy nights in with the fire on, whilst binge watching films or catching up on TV programmes. Let's be honest, TV is usually better come Autumn/Winter!

Favourite drink?

I'm guessing this means the seasonal drinks at Starbucks and Costa. I'm not a huge fan of spices, so the Pumpkin Spice Latte is not for me! I love tea, I don't drink as much in the summer so I make the most of it during Autumn and Winter!

Favourite scent/candle?

As I've mentioned, I don't like spices much- the taste and smell. I do love vanilla based candles though as they're so warming and comforting. I don't do sickly sweet neither, so it'd have to be Sunlight on Snow by Yankee Candle- fresh but comforting!

Best lipstick?

As I'm writing this, I'm currently testing the very much raved about Rimmel 107. I shall update you on my thoughts, I'm sure. I love dark and Berry toned lips around this time of year, my go-to shades are usually the Maybelline Colour Drama Velevet Lip Pencil in Berry Much or MUA Matte Lipstick in Wild Berry.

Go-to moisturiser?

In terms of day moisturisers, I love the Garnier Moisture Match range. I usually opt for the mattifying one for oily skin but my skins a little dry at the moment so I may pick up another in the range. For the night, I love the Origins Night-A-Mins but I only have a deluxe sample of that so I've been using it sparingly- I must pick up the full size at some point!

Go-to colours for the eyes?

I rarely steer away from neutral colours on my eyes, usually I go for mattes in the day time and shimmery for a night look. I do like to add more copper tones during the Autumn, I think they make my blue eyes pop too!

Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?

I don't think my music taste changes much throughout the year, I love Olly Murs, Ed Sheeran and just pop in general.

Favourtie outfit to wear?

Autumn/Winter is all about jumpers, jeans, chunky knit tights, ankle boots and huge blanket-like scarves!

Autumn treat?

I'm not really sure what this means, does it mean in terms of food?

I love homemade soups, especially my Mum's Lentil and Vegetable soup, with crunchy bread- yum!

Favourite place to be?

As I mentioned earlier, I love being cosied up in a blanket on the sofa with the fire on but I also love Bonfire Night! It's nice to just wrap up warm and go out for the evening with your friends and family to watch the amazing firework displays and  make your way through a toffee apple before you start to feel a little bit sick!

I wasn't tagged by anyone to do this, but I will tag a few as I'd love to hear your favourite things about Autumn.

What I love about Autumn | The Autumn Edit

Hello!

Seeing as it feels like we're well into Autumn, I thought i'd do an Autumn Edit including what I like to bring out of my wardrobe this season and what I love about the Autumn.

As much as I love summer, I love it when the Autumn starts to creep in! I love getting out the warmer clothes and simply just the colours throughout the Autumnal months!
Definitely on the top of my list is a good pair of Chelsea boots, they pretty much go with everything, not to mention they're cute and so comfortable!
This year I bought ones with small cleated soles so they'd last me throughout the cold and rainy months and walking back and forth college. If i'm honest I can't remember exactly where these are from as they're from a catalogue my mum got sent and they were just £15 with the discount code!

A staple for most female and male in fact is a leather jacket. I love leather jackets for layering especially, they're so easy to throw on and again pretty much go with everything and can dress down a smart outfit, perfect for the daytime! Mine is actually from Matalan and was in the sale for £20, I think it looks a lot more expensive!

Last in terms of clothing is scarfs, I love scarfs! I think a patterned scarf brings an outfit to life and I especially love a tartan and dog tooth in the Autumn/Winter, although i'm still on the hunt for a dog tooth one! The tartan scarf I have is not your classic red or green tartan, this one is pink and grey! I love it and it was only £5 in Primark and it's like a blanket. 

For makeup I love a bold purple or red lip, yet i'm not brave enough to pull off the solid purple or red lip. Instead I opt for this berry colour that's not as scary as it looks in the bullet. I love how it looks on the lip as it isn't too strong, so I've actually got the balls to wear it out! I'm building up the courage to try and rock a dark red lip this Autumn/Winter. 

Bronze eyes are a must for Autumn in my opinion! They definitely reflect the Autumnal colours and I think most skin tones can pull them off. I love matte bases with shimmer going through the crease as it looks so shimmery and pretty when the light catches it! 

I love it when the nights start to draw in and get a little colder as it means putting your comfiest PJ's on, grabbing a cup of tea or hot chocolate and snuggling up on the sofa with a blanket, the fire on and endless amounts of TV and films! 

Halloween and Bonfire Night are on the horizon and I for one can't wait! Although I rarely do anything for Halloween, I love carving a pumpkin and handing out sweet treats to the little ones usually dressed as a classic Witch or Vampire. It's more likely that i'll do something for Bonfire Night, I love wrapping up warm and heading out with friends or family to see the local fireworks display, oh so pretty!

I just love the colours that Autumn has to offer- orange, yellows, reds and browns! The leaves look so lovely and I love incorporating the colours into my wardrobe, mustard and burgundy are my favourites during this time of the year!  

Lastly but certainly not least, the build up to Christmas! It's going to come around quickly and go again so I love to make the most of it by starting my Christmas Shopping early, whipping out the festive PJamas and begging my mum to put the Christmas decorations up- sadly i'm never successful with this as they don't usually go up til around the second week of December, damn it!

And that's a wrap on what I love about Autumn, what do you love or in fact don't like about Autumn?
I'd love to hear, so comment below and let me know!

That's all for now, until next time...
