As Autumn is finally here and that makes me incredibly happy, I thought I would do the autumn tag. It simply consists of ten autumn related questions which I will answer for you now!
1) Favourite thing about autumn? HALLOWEEN of course! Halloween films are the best, and I just love the general cosy vibes of autumn. I love cuddling up with lots of blankets watching halloween films and drinking lots of tea. Also, the leaves go such a pretty colour at this time and it's the perfect temperature as it's not tooo cold, but not sweat inducing!
2) Favourite drink? Despite my 'white girl' exterior, I am not actually a huge fan of pumpkin spiced lattes or Starbucks in general. I tend to ditch coffee during autumn and drink tea instead, particularly green, chamomile and peppermint teas. It's always fun going into tea shops and seeing what new flavours you can find.
3) Favourite scent/candle? I burn candles almost everyday but I don't really have a favourite candle. Anything that smells fab is okay for me, but I tend to avoid fruity scents during both autumn and winter. Vanilla is a go to all round scent for me though, I think it's the best. As for other scents, I still wear my Marc Jacobs Daisy eau so fresh during the autumn, or I opt for a heavier, muskier scent.
4) Best lipstick? Anything dark and glossy, like a deep red. However, lipstick can be a bit messy and get everywhere, so I tend to opt for a heavy duty lip balm and keep my lips soft and glossy all year round.
5) Go-to moisturiser? In my opinion, Nivea do the best moisturisers especially for people who are prone to dry skin. Simple's daily moisturiser is also a favourite of mine for ensuring my skin is nice and soft, ready for my makeup in the morning.
6) Go-to colour for the eyes? It's all about natural colours in the autumn, which is much more toned down than the glittery mess my eyes usually are during the festive season. I tend to put a light brown all over the lid and then a darker, warm brown in the crease. I've really been enjoying putting a pop of colour along my water line, like a turquoise or lilac to make my eyes really pop.
7) Favourite music or band/singer to listen to? I really can't single out one specific band or album that I love more than any other during autumn but I do tend to listen to more chill, toned down music. Bands like the XX, Bombay Bicycle Club, Alt-J and Tame Impala are perfect. Last autumn, I listened to a lot of George Ezra, Hozier, Lykke Liu and Lana Del Rey. I really enjoy instrumental music, and Keaton Henson has some beautiful, gentle tracks on his albums.
8) Favourite outfit to wear? I wear lots of skirts and dresses during autumn, paired with cosy tights and cute boots. I love checked/tartan little skirts, I think they are adorable and so flattering. However, let's be honest, cosy pyjamas and fluffy socks are the best things to wear when its autumn and you just want to be warm.
9) Autumn treat? I LOVE PIE.
10) Favourite place to be? Either my bed watching netflix with lots of candles and fairy lights, or going on a walk in the woods near me. The trees look so pretty this time of year and there are some perfect spots to sunrises or sunsets.
