The Autumn Tag

Tag creator - www.makeup-pixi3.com

I spotted this tag on www.makeup-pixi3.com and thought it was an excellent idea for a post! I am going to tag some fellow bloggers at the end of this post but feel free to do the tag!   1.    Favourite thing about autumn? Oh that’s hard! I don’t think I only have one main favourite to be honest. I love everything about autumn. The colours (leaves, fashion), smells (burning leaves), tastes (pumpkin spiced lattes)…everything!!   2.    Favourite drink? It has to be either the pumpkin spiced lattes that Starbucks do at this time of year or Nescafe’s instant gingerbread latte! Wouldn’t say no to a hot chocolate though ;)   3.    Favourite scent/candle? Well I’ve already mentioned that I love the smell of burning leaves. So candle wise, I love Yankee candle ‘blissful autumn’ and ‘fireside treats’.   4.    Best lipstick? I usually stick to the same colours all year round which is bad! So I am gonna try hard to work a dark lip this fall/winter. I particularly like the vampy look.   5.    Go to moisturiser? Definitely Clinique’s dramatically different moisture lotion for combination/oily skin J   6.    Go to colours for the eyes? I always tend to do a smokey eye, usually like to use brighter colours in the spring/summertime but I love a dark smokey eye for the fall.   7.    Favourite music or band/singer to listen to? I love to listen to Paramore and Florence & the Machine at this time of year. I think Hayley’s and Florence’s voice are really suited to the colder months if that makes sense!   8.    Favourite outfit to wear? Layers! Lots and lots of layers!! Boots/uggs, leg warmers, tights, shorts, vest, long cardigan and a scarf!   9.    Autumn treat? Lots and lots of cuddles to keep warm!   10. Favourite place to be? Definitely at home, with candles lit, watching a film, drinking hot chocolate whilst cuddling into my boyfriend and kitten.   Hope you have enjoyed reading my answers!  The people I have tagged are as follows:

Autumn Quotes

Good morning beauties! 

As I have mentioned a gazillion times before, autumn is my favourite season. I love everything about it. The smell of burning leaves, the crisp air and the way my breath leaves a shimmering white mist before me. The cozy-ness of everyone it seems, that we are all preparing for the winter to come by piling on thick infinity scarves and cute beanies. And not to mention gingerbread lattes!! Yum!

For this post, I thought it would be nice to gather all my favourite quotes inspired by the season…

“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”
― Lauren DeStefano, Wither

“Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple...”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they're falling like
they're falling in love with the ground.”
― Andrea Gibson

“Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile.”
― William Cullen Bryant

“She looked like autumn, when leaves turned and fruit ripened.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, Garden Spells

“I loved autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it.”
― Lee Maynard

Christmas in a Cup

LIf like me, you literally cannot wait for the festive drinks to start appearing at Starbucks, then head down to your local Asda/Walmart (depending on where you live) and grab a box of Nescafé's instant gingerbread lattes! At £2 per box it's an absolute steal and tastes like Christmas in a cup!

If you guys know of any other types of flavoured coffees that you can purchase at your local supermarket then let me know! : )
