Now that fall is in full swing, there are so many fun things to do to embrace this beautiful season. The weather is perfect, the scenery is gorgeous, and the activities are endless. I feel like it just now hit me that it’s actually fall. Here we are at the end of October and I’m finally acknowledging the weather. It’s only just now getting cooler, which I’m really happy about! It’s so pretty outside, so I recommend getting out the door and trying something new! Today I’m sharing my fall bucket list, I hope you enjoy!
Month: October 2016
The Friday Five
This week thankfully hasn’t been too stressful! I only had one or two quizzes and not that much homework, which I’m so thankful for. I finally have a break from cross country, there’s no meet this weekend, so I want to try and take advantage of the free weekend and do something fun! District is next weekend, and state is in two weeks, and I’m getting more nervous about it as every day passes! I’ve been trying to train hard and get ready for the next couple of weeks, they’re going to be really tough! I found some great links this week, read on for more details!
Fun Fall Nail Polish Colors
Now that fall is officially here, it’s time to start transitioning your wardrobe and accessories to the darker, more neutral colors. The summer is all about bright and colorful patterns, but fall is more laid back, sophisticated colors in more neutral tones. Besides changing up your clothes for fall, you can also change up your nails! In the summer, my go to was always blues or corals for the brighter color. Now that it’s fall, there are so many cute options for new nail colors! Today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite picks!
Go To Fall Outfit
Today’s outfit is one of my favorites I’ve ever done! It’s one of my go-to fall outfits, if I can’t think of what to wear, I’ll usually gravitate towards something like this look. Just a simple sweater and jeans, accessorized with a few detailed pieces, and you’re good to go! This weekend, it was cooler than usual, so I finally got to break out my sweaters from last year. I usually go for grays and whites in sweaters because I know they’ll match with everything. I dressed up this outfit with some colorful statement earrings from The Tiny Tassel, and a beautiful sea glass necklace from Midori Jewelry. They compliment the outfit so well and add fun pops of color!
The Friday Five
How has everyone’s week been? This past week, we had fall break, so we were only in school Tuesday-Friday. And, it’s homecoming week, so there has been spirit day every single day this week! The homecoming football game is tonight, and I’m planning on going- I’m really excited! This week was probably one of the best in a while. It’s been fun dressing up for spirit days: there’s been Hawaiian shirt day, Twin Day, Wizard of Oz character day, and Charger Pride Day. I haven’t had as much homework as I have in the past few weeks (that’s always a plus!). And I’ve also been training really hard for my cross country meet tomorrow, which I’m pumped about! This week I have some super fun links, read on to check them out!
Recipe: Frozen Hot Chocolate (Collab!)
Even though it’s technically fall, here in Mississippi it doesn’t always feel like it. Sure, there are some days where it’s chilly and I end up grabbing a sweater, but other times it doesn’t feel much different from summer. I always love making a steaming mug of hot cocoa and warming up with it on a chilly day, but with this hotter weather, there’s no point! That’s why I’ve been loving frozen hot chocolate- you still get the delicious hot cocoa taste, but with the consistency of a milkshake! Today Valerie from Confetti and Tassels and I are sharing our favorite fall drinks, so be sure to check out her post after you’ve read mine! Over on her blog, she made a delicious pumpkin pie frappe, which sounds amazing! Now, on to the recipe:
Fall Adventuring with United Tees
One reason I love the fall is because it’s the perfect weather. It’s not too hot that you get overheated and sweaty, but it’s not too cold that you freeze your toes off. There’s a nice breeze, the temperature is cool but not too chilly, and the sun is still shining up above. Fall is the best time for camping trips, hikes, and afternoon adventures. There’s a lake not too far from my house, and this past weekend my brothers and I walked down to it and explored a bit. I wore some nike shorts and one of my favorite new shirts from United Tees. Their fall collection just came out and their new line is the cutest!
Fading to Fall Neutrals
Woah- fall is actually here, (where did the time go?) and while I’m definitely glad for the new season and holidays to kick off, it’s a little sad to think that summer has completely come to a close. And I don’t just mean no school or fun beach trips, but summer style is now evolving into the fall colors. In my last outfit post, I mentioned having to put away some of my summer stripes and moving to the fall wardrobe. Fall style to me consists of lighter, more neutral colors instead of the summer brights. Today I’m wearing a basic fall outfit that I dressed up with one of my favorite new necklaces– read on for details!
