It's that time of year, September meets October and the leaves start to take on their most magnificent form. However, the changing of the leaves isn't the only element that defines fall, you can feel the season all around you.

1. Pumpkin Everything

Whether it's actual pumpkins or pumpkin flavoring, this season is consumed by it. Pumpkins on doorsteps, carved pumpkins, pumpkin-picking, pumpkin pie, pumpkin-spice lattes, you can't go three steps without seeing or smelling pumpkin-something. That's sign number one that Fall is among you.

2. Halloween Takeover

Halloween decorations, halloween costumes, halloween candy and cookies, this holiday defines this season. Everything is slightly spooky in the most playful way. Halloween is personally one of my favorite holidays. You can take any approach to costume choice, whether your going for scary, creative or humorous. You can be anyone you want for the day, and enjoy some candy while your at it.

3. Fall Fashion

Almost every girl you see is going to be decked out in an olive green jacket, with thigh socks or leg warmers, and her favorite fall boots. Except on the day she alternates with her flannel and bubble vest. I love fall fashion as much as anyone else, you stay warm and cozy and look cute doing it.

4. Endless Events

Haunted houses, hayrides, apple picking, Oktoberfest, bonfires. It's the perfect weather for anything because it's not too hot and not too cold. Your fall schedule is sure to be packed with as many festive events as you can make time for!

You can't think of Sunday without thinking of football, although there are games on other days football entirely defines Sunday in the fall. You start to see football jerseys and hats everywhere. Even your school's football games start to make room into your weekend plans.

Here's to an amazing season, enjoy the Fall, and everything that comes with it!
