The Autumn Tag

As I was browsing blogs I came up on a post titled "the autumn tag". Now if you're a big blog reader you've probably already heard about it, but if you haven't than here's what it is. This tag is a collection of questions to get us into the fall spirit. In my opinion October is the "automniest" month and therefore the perfect time to do this tag. Hope you enjoy and want to try it yourself!

1) Favourite Thing About It
In my opinion the best things about fall are the colors! The deep oranges, "crunchy" browns, and maroon-ish reds are simply gorgeous! During the fall I always find myself admiring the color of the leaves and of people's outfits. However my favorite autumn activity is just cuddling under a blanket reading a book, watching a video, or blogging while drinking hot chocolate or tea. And of course we can't forget about fall shopping sprees!

2) Favourite Drink
Autumn calls for hot drinks which I think are sooo relaxing, not to mention yummy. I can't really choose my favorites as to me a drink has to reflect a mood, however my three favorites are hot chocolate, tea, and cappuccinos.

3) Favorite Scent
Definately something either vanilla related or a bit spicy (even though nothing too spice as I feel that's too strong). A good, and bit strange alternative, that I discovered this year is "firewood scented" (obviously for a candle not a perfume) which I actually quite like as I find it's very relaxing and the smell kind of reminds me of honey.

4) Best Lipstick
I actually have two right now: one from a drug store brand and one from a pricier brand. The drugstore choice is Rimmel London's Lasting Finish by Kate in 112. It's a really well pigmented, easy to apply deep brown color. My other favorite is Flair by Nars. This one is a nice red with a bit of sparkles.
(I'm sorry I would love to include pictures but I'm having technical difficulties however I do advice you to search the two up on google as they are simply gorgeous and perfect for fall)

5) Go to Moisturiser?
I don't actually have a preferred lotion during the fall. Actually I've been finding myself applying baby oil instead of cream after my showers as I feel it makes my skin feel super soft and ready for bed. Sorry!

6) Go to Color for the Eyes?
Since I'm in school I tend not to wear much eye makeup, mostly just a bit of eyeliner and mascara, however I think browns (especially smokey) look amazing in autumn!

7) Favorite Music/Band to Listen to?
Again I don't have a set answer for this but it's always something that goes with my mood.

8) Favorite Outfit to Wear?
For autumn I'm all about the big sweaters! A nice over size sweater or cardigan or even hoody with a cute but simple shirt underneath. For my legs usually leggings or skinny jeans, I tend not to like dresses or skirts as I find tights to be extremely annoying. To finish off the look either a big scarf, a cute hat, or a nice statement necklace.

9) Autumn Treat
I think autumn is the perfect time for any kind of treat (except ice cream maybe). I usually like to satisfy my sweet tooth with a brownie, a crum cake, or a coffee cake (or better yet a coffee crum cake..yum!)

10) Favorite Place to Be?
My bed! I think slouching on my bed under a blanket feels like paradise in autumn, especially if there are candles lit around me.
