Tag Tuesday: Fall in Love!

What's this? A midweek post?

Yes, friends, it is. I saw this tag on the blog StyleSista and of course I had to do it right this second. I love fall and it's the first day of October so I'm going to do a fall tag.

Also - I'm seriously considering making Tag Tuesdays a thing. What do you think about them?


1. What fall trend are you most excited for?

Fashion wise, I'm really feeling military jackets this season. I think they look so great with a chunky oversized sweater, a pair of leggings, and some combat boots. They're fun and they come in a lot of colors and can be styled in a ton of different ways. I'm loving this one from Old Navy and I'm hoping to get my hands on it soon.

Makeup wise I am all about the dark, plummy lip this year for the first time in my life. I finally found some colors that don't make me look like Elvira because while that look works for some people, it does not work for me. I'm obsessed with Plum Wine by Laura Mercier for a dramatic look and Craving by MAC for something a little more casual.

2. What is your favorite fall beauty product?

My favorite fall beauty product is actually nail polish. They're so easy to maintain when you just want to stay in bed and cuddle all day, as opposed to having to get up and put on a full face of makeup. I just ordered butter London (surprise surprise) The Old Bill and I'm already planning a nice fall manicure using it and Jaffa (and maybe British Racing Green, I haven't decided yet). Second would probably be mascara - but that's a year-round thing.

3. What is your favorite fall drink?

Hands down salted caramel mochas from Starbucks. They are my life. I know there's all sorts of hype around the pumpkin spice latte but I've tried it and I'm not at all a fan. I'll stick with my salted caramel mochas.

4. What is your favorite fall scent?

You know, I don't really have a fall fragrance? I wear mine year round. Taylor by Taylor Swift (more surprises) is probably the coziest of my fragrances because of the base notes - or actually Fresh Fig by Laura Mercier! That'll be getting a lot of use this fall. It has amazing staying power and I'm actually obsessed.

Candle-wise though it's all about Slatkin & Co.'s Sweater Weather. It's actually burning right now and I'm so obsessed.

5. Which fall trend do you hate?

I can't actually think of a fall trend I hate. Probably turtlenecks? I just don't think they're very flattering on 99% of people and I don't plan on jumping on this bandwagon. Actually most necks like that: cowl necks, mock neck - no thanks. I'll stick to my crew necks.

6. What is your Halloween Costume this year?

I'm probably not going to fully dress up because I'll be in school, but I plan on doing some fun stuff with my makeup! I'm thinking some sort full face skull - maybe a sugar skull? I have some pictures I saved from Pinterest that I might try. Either way, I'm excited!

7. What is your favorite fall song?

I am SO OBSESSED with "Sweater Weather" by The Neighbourhood. My love Caitlin of First Glance Feeling is going to see them soon and I'm so incredibly jealous (I couldn't go boooooo). I'm also feeling "Chocolate" by The 1975 and "Campus" by Vampire Weekend.

8. What is your favorite Halloween candy?

My favorite Halloween candy is the same as my favorite all year long candy - Reese's. Give me Reese's by the dozen and I'll be happy for life.


So, that's it! This was a lot of fun to think about and I hope you guys had fun reading it too. Please do it and link to it in the comments so I can read them because I think they're wonderful (and you're wonderful, too!).

As always, thanks for reading and I love you lots!
