Fall officially started yesterday and I am so happy about that. I love fall and the cooler weather. Since I do live in Florida it obviously does not get as cold as other places. But because I live in North Florida and not South Florida it does actually get cooler here during the fall and winter. So I am looking forward to the cooler weather we are going to over the next few months. Because fall has now officially started I figured it was time to bring out my list of fall essentials. This list is everything I feel is needed during the fall season. So lets get in to my fall essentials shall we.
BLANKETS
Fuzzy blankets, knit blankets, chunky knit blankets you name it you need it. Fall is literally the perfect time of year to get a nice cozy blanket to cuddle up in all of the time. I recently got a knitted blanket from Target that was a lot cheaper than most knitted blankets today. This blanket was only $30 and in my favorite rust color. I love this blanket it is so cute and so soft. I also have this white fluffy blanket I have had for a while that is also one of my favorites. I think I got it from Home Goods and it is also super soft and cozy. So these two blankets are my favorites right now.
FALL CANDLES
I love anything that can make my room smell good room sprays, candles especially fall candles. Personally my favorite candles are the ones that smell like food. So my all time favorite candle from Bath & Body Works is the pumpkin pecan waffles candle. That is the one I have been burning the most recently. I found this scent a few years ago and fell in love with it so this is definitely my go to candle. Another favorite of mine is their caramel pumpkin swirl and vanilla pumpkin marshmallow. I know they have the pumpkin pecan waffle scent again this year and this vanilla pumpkin marshmallow. But I am not sure if the have the caramel pumpkin swirl. They all smell amazing and of course just like food as well.
LIP BALM
As much as I love this cooler fall weather it does make my lips dry so lip balm is one of my top essentials. I know that this will not be one for everybody. But because my lips do get dry easily pretty much year round this lip balm is always a essential of mine. My go to lip balm right now is my EOS mint lip balm. I keep this one on my desk so since it is always out it’s just the one I always use. But I love the scent of this lip balm and its definitely one of my favorites.
DARK NAIL POLISH
As much as I do love my brighter colors like oranges, pinks, and blues as seen on my Instagram and here on my blog; I love darker colors as well like black, burgundy, burnt oranges and pretty much any other color that screams fall. Darker nail polish is one of my favorite polishes to wear and starting beginning of fall to the end of winter it is all I wear. I have this deep dark red polish call cinnamon-snap that is my go to fall polish. I love it so much that I used it all up last year and had to buy a new bottle of before the year was over.
BODY SPRAYS AND LOTIONS
Just as mush as I love there candles I loves Bath & Body Works body sprays and lotions. Just like my candles I love when both my body spray and lotion smells like food or something sweet. The scent I have both in right now for fall is marshmallow pumpkin latte which is my favorite fall for these two products. I got the body spray in this scent last year and fell in love with it so I knew I had to get it again this year and also get the lotion. The lotion makes my skin feel so soft and again makes me smell good too so this definitely a favorite and essential of mine.
LEGGINGS
It is finally the time of year to pull out my leggings and I am so excited. My favorite leggings come from Aerie and I have quite a few pairs of them. They are so soft, comfortable, stretchy, and cute. I actually wore a pair almost every day during fall and winter last year. I’m going to try and switch it up this year and try not to wear my leggings everyday. But I know I probably will anyway but I’m at least going to try not to.
FUZZY SOCKS
Fuzzy socks are a big essential for the fall season. I love fuzzy socks and have a couple pairs. My mom usually gets me a new pair to put in my stocking for Christmas. I definitely have my pairs of fuzzy socks that are my go to just because they are so soft. But really any pair of fuzzy socks makes me happy and cozy for the fall and winter seasons.
FALL SNACKS AND DRINKS
Fall is definitely the time of year I start baking again. My mom and I make snickerdoodles which are always good and one of my favorite treats. Snickerdoodles just scream fall to me obviously they can be made any time of the year. But when I think of a fall cookie I just think of snickerdoodles.
Apple cider and hot chocolate are my go to fall drinks. I haven’t had any apple cider yet but I am looking forward to having some. I do drink hot chocolate pretty much year round. But with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up there are a lot of holiday themed coffee creamers around. The one that I use year round is the Coffee Mate peppermint mocha creamer. This was originally a flavor they only had during Christmas but then decided to keep it around all year. So it is my go to and I add it to my hot chocolate to add a little something extra.
CARDIGANS, HOODIES, AND SWEATERS
It is still too warm here during the day for all three of these things. It has been getting cooler at night, but not necessarily cool enough for a sweater, hoodie, or cardigan. But I have been able to wear a few of my thinner light weight cardigans. It will be a few more weeks before it is cooler all day and I will be able to pull out my hoodies again. I think fall is the time of year to pull out your coziest clothes and just be comfy which is why I love my hoodies so much. I probably have more hoodies than I need for someone that lives in Florida, but I am going to keep buying them because I love them and they are definitely one of my fall essentials.
So here is my list of essentials for the season. It’s not every single thing I have on my list for my fall essentials, but these are definitely my top ones and if I were to include every single thing this would be a super long blog post. I love fall and I’m so excited for this season. I have been in the mood for fall for a few weeks so now that it is here I am very happy about it. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I hope that it got you into a fall mood too. Happy Wednesday everyone!
