Autumn Tag

                                                    

          Yankee Candles are a must. 

                                                         

I think Autumn must be my favourite time of year, there is something just so magical about walking around the parks and seeing the leaves turning brown. The gingerbread and pumpkin spiced lattes are another reason to love Autumn. Walking around in thick tights and ankle boots wearing shimmery eye shadow with a berry lipstick... I couldn't think of anything more perfect.

Therefore I thought I could do the 'Autumn Tag' I wasn't actually tagged but the majority of people say they tag everyone so I thought I would jump on the bandwagdon.

Ok we're talking coffees - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe

                                                                             Nero etc?

Truth Time... I absolutely hate coffee. Starbucks hot chocolate with cream and marshmellows is the way to go. Costa have a great Black Forest hot chocolate which is also so good. 

Accessories - what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves?

I am a major scarf and ankle boots person. Throughout Autumn I either have on my black fluffy scarf or my tartan one. I'm not sure I went one day without them last year. Along with the scarf, I also love my burgundy ankle boots from River Island as they are insanely comfy! Although I am not much of a gloves person and if I do wear them they need to be fingerless so I can still text... priorities. 

Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?

My music taste doesn't really change. But I tend to listen more to Olly Murs in Autumn purely because thats when he realises his albums. Along with Olly I am a massive fan of A Great Big World, if you haven't already go check them out. 

Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I am a massive fan of the Hollister body sprays they are amazing! Apart from that I love to stick to anything from Marc Jacobs because you can't go wrong. 

Candles - what scents will you be burning this season?

Yankee Candles are my absolute favourites and I have Pink Sands and Snowflake Cookie although I am certain that I will be adding to my collection throughout the season. 

What do you love most about Autumn?

I think what I love the most is the build up to Christmas, I think working in retail you kind of see the worse of it. But its lovely to see whole families coming into town all wrapped up warm with their hot chocolates. People just seem to be happier in Autumn. 

Favourite make up look?

Autumn make up is definetely my favourite of all the seasons. I like to do a winged eyeliner, with a shimmery eyeshadow and then pair it with a berry lipstick. I use L'oreal superliner, Naked 2 palette and either Rebel or New York Apple by Mac on my lips. 

What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?

Wearing thick tights and autumn make up. 

I tag Kay, Josie & Cristina. I also tag anyone that wants to do this! 

10 Happy Things

I said I was going to make this a weekly thing, however two weeks have passed since my previous 10 Happy Things blogpost so I think I'm going to cut it down to every month! Maybe thats a good thing though considering my life isn't all that exciting.

Freshers night out. 

1. Freshers Week. It really isn't my thing to go out every weekend but I did go out during freshers week and it was so much fun which surprised me a lot.

2. Downton Abbey. Need I explain more, Nope

3. Gogglebox. There seems to be a theme running through this blog post. Does this show you the excitement of my life.

4. Payday. Basically the most exciting day of the month. Money. Money. Money.

5. Berry Lipsticks. Autumn also known as when Berry lipsticks come out to play. New York Apple & Rebel from Mac are my absolute favourites.

6. University Open Days - Next week I have my first open day and I'm so excited for the fact I could be off to University next year and hopefully achieve all of my dreams.

7. Movie Nights. Being a film student must mean we like films, so movie nights with my friends is a regular occurrence.

8. The Guest. That ending???? Yes I like films. Problem. I thought not.

9. Friends. Talking to one of my best friends who lives in New Zealand is so great (when we have the time)

10. Online Shopping. This is something I never ever do but Missguided have some amazing stuff right now & the student discount is always good as well.

College Days.

Apparently it's officially autumn considering it was the first day I have worn a pair of tights. Today was a normal college day but I thought I would blogged my outfit. I am absolutely in love with my oversized denim jacket, it's so comfy and goes with everything. Also I have to mention my 'geek shoes' I wasn't too sure what I thought of these shoes to start with but that have been growing on me in the past week as thats all i've worn. 

This skirt that I got from Topshop I actually brought it the Tall section even though i'm only 5ft 3. This skirt is still very short on me, so I can't image how short one in the petite section would be. I love this skirt for an everyday look because you can pair it with a longer top as well as a short crop top.

In my autumn wardrobe I kinda have this continuing theme running through it of black/white & grey, I think its time I went shopping and added a bit of colour to it. However as I say you can never have too much black.

Top - New Look
