autumn favourites

hello everyone,

we are right in the middle of autumn at the moment, and i think its probably my favourite season.

this isnt a typical favourties post, its the things i like most about autumn/fall, kind of general things, not specific beauty or fashion picks. all of the photos i have used in this are from weheartit.

first, it has to be autumnal fashion, i love wearing oversized tops and jumpers, with comfy leggins and not feeling underdressed. i also love big coats with furry hoods, and fuzzy socks. you can where layers and be comfy but still keep it looking really casual and styled. i also really like wearing my long sleeved denim jacket as a sort of coat, with some leggins and boots. i also really want some black matte doc martens, but they are quite pricey so im not sure if i will be able to.

my next favourite thing is messy buns, to be honest this isnt really that specific to autumn but i think i wear my hair most like this in the colder months because with the wind, its harder to wear it down. im think of doing a step-by-step tutorial of a perfect messy bun, so that should be up soon. but yeah here is one i found that i really liked (i also really like her eyebrows).

okay so next up i have pumpkins, i know pumpkin carving is related to halloween, but the scent of pumkins is associated with the whole season. i love the scent so much, i have a candle that is pumkin latte, and its my favourite candle, i have used it so much and its nearly out, but hopefully i can purchase another one. also i have a pumkin scented room spray from glade which i also really like and it smells so amazing. i think the smell is so homely and just reminds me of the autumn and running through leaf piles, haha, bit random.

this autumn i have done quite a lot of makeup looks inspired by cara, i have really liked her makeup from recent shoots, and i have tried to get them as close to hers as possible. i wouldnt say i fangirl over cara, but i do think she is amazingly pretty and i really do love her. if any of you dont know who she is, you should definitely have a look, her full name is cara delevingne and she is a model.

hot chocolate, or warm drinks are my favourites this time of the year, i feel like in the autumn/winter, there is nothing better than a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows to warm you up, i have recently purchased ginger bread syrup to make in lattes, and it so nice, ahh i love it. 

the last thing is, now its getting colder and darker outside, its just another excuse to stay in bed with a duvet and a film all day. i really do love these days, and i plan them in every once in a while, as just a day to relax and restore any energy that is worn out. i usually save a few films to watch and i just catch up on anything i need too. 

yeahh, i may suffer from clinomania just a little bit, especially on monday mornings and if i had that view.

i hope you enjoyed this post, thanks for reading,

lots of love, lydia
