Hey there, lovelies! I am currrently so excited because it's finally starting to feel like fall! Fall is my absolute favorite season and I get so excited for this time of year! There are just so many wonderful things to look forward to in fall, such as Halloween, pumpkin flavored things, the weather, and personally, my birthday! My friends and I have really been trying to get into the fall spirit, so last night we actually had a fall sleepover! It was SO much fun, and it really inspired me to write about the many lovely things that come around this time of year!
Gilmore Girls
Last fall, I watched Gilmore Girls for the first time. It was seriously the most life changing show I have ever watched. As you can imagine, it quickly became my favorite. Rory is SUCH an icon, and honestly, she's so relatable. I mean, she perfectly displays the realities of teenage life. Along with that, watching Rory's crazy studying is such great inspiration for school/student life. Every night after rehearsal last fall, I would come home, put Gilmore Girls on, make a cup of hot chocolate, and study, and it was the most serene I have ever felt. There is just something so inviting and warm about Stars Hollow and the Gilmore Girls aesthetic, and getting to watch it again is something I've been looking forward to for months!
Hot Chocolate/Coffee
Like I mentioned earlier, last fall, I got into the routine of making a cup of hot chocolate every night while I studied. It was so relaxing and warming, and as ridiculous as it sounds, I feel like it helped me study better. I started drinking the hot chocolate because I hate the taste of coffee, but I still wanted to achieve the Gilmore Girls aesthetic, and honestly, it worked. So well, in fact, that I can't study when it's chilly without it! So, when you get home on these upcoming autumn night, make yourself a cup of coffee or hot chocolate to unwind.
Pumpkin & Other Fall Scents
One of my favorite things about fall is the scent of pumpkin spice EVERYWHERE. It makes me so happy! Every fall, I think I probably spend more time at Bath and Body Works buying some new pumpkin scented candles than I do anywhere else. I just love coming home and my room smelling cozy and warm. As the leaves change colors, and the weather gets crispier, that comforting pumpkin smell fills the air and immediately puts me in a festive mood.
Baking
I love baking during fall. In fact, last night, my friends and I made the TikTok layered fall cookies, and it was so fun and (of course) they were delicious! There's just something so magical and comforting about the way the kitchen fills with the aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg while you're baking your favorite fall treats. Whether it's pumpkin pie, apple crisp, or a batch of spiced cookies, sharing those warm, homemade goodies just adds an extra layer of coziness to the season.
Fashion & Outfits
Let's talk fall outfits! I totally get excited for autumn just for the fashion alone! One of my absolute favorite combos to wear in fall is cozy sweaters, skirts, and tights. It's the ultimate fall combo that gives you that cute, slightly preppy, but still cozy look. I mean, who doesn't want to channel their inner Rory Gilmore? Plus, the fall color palette is just so aesthetically pleasing!
Reading
There's just something about the crisp, cool air that always gets me in the mood to curl up with a book. Whether it's at a cute coffee shop with a pumpkin spice drink in hand, or curled up by the fireplace, reading and fall go hand in hand. Plus, fall provides the perfect backdrop for those classic, heartwarming stories that just seem to resonate more deeply when you're surrounded by the beauty of the season. I love walking around a local bookstore during fall evenings as well. it's so comforting, and it is a great way to end the day!
Walks & Outdoors
I love taking walks in the evenings during fall. The air is always so crisp and cool, the colorful leaves cover the ground, and it always just makes me feel like I'm in a teen coming of age movie. I love the sound of the leaves crunching below my feet, and personally, I always carry a drink and listen to some fall music while I walk. It's easily one of my favorite things to do, and I recommend going on one soon!
And, there you have it, lovelies! Fall is (imo) the absolute best season, and now you know why I'm completely obsessed with it! From the pumpkin spice craze to the Rory Gilmore vibes, cozy sweaters, and comforting evening walks, there's just so much to love about autumn. So, this year, make sure to soak in every moment of this awesome season!
Stay cozy, my lovelies, and enjoy the fall vibes while they last! 🍂
