Fall has come and it has us white girls shaking in our tan Ugg boots. What is more perfect than cuddling up on the couch with a nice PSL watching "Hocus Pocus" by the fire? Abso-freaking-lutely nothing. Follow these tips and you’ll be conquering fall better than Caty Heron rocked those army pants and flip flops.

Here are five ways to have the perfect basic white girl fall:


1. Pumpkin Spice

Always make sure you have pumpkin-spiced something in hand. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the PSL (if you don’t know what a PSL is, stop reading) [Totally kidding. Please keep reading]. However, my go-to fall drink is an iced coffee with pumpkin spice SYRUP. All the benefits of a PSL, but cheaper, and a whole lot yummier. Shoutout to my girl Megan for this tip, which has saved my life this fall.

2. Flannels

Yup, you heard it. Wear that picnic blanket pattern as a jacket and you are all fall’d out. One flannel can be worn so many different ways. It can be a jacket to keep you warm, or worn around your waist as a stylish accent to the perfect look. Either way, invest in one and you’ll instantly turn into Beyonce and be able to conquer your day.

3. Halloween Costumes

Halloween is the first major holiday of the fall season and in order to have the perfect outfit, you must plan weeks in advance and have multiple options. Playboy Bunny? Witch? Sexy army brat? NO. Us basic girls are creative and go all out. Also, Halloween is the entire month of October didn’t you know? So make sure you are the best dressed Eleven from "Stranger Things" that walks into the frat party.

4. Boots/Booties

Knee-high, ankle-high, high-heeled, no-heeled. Boots are the key to every fall outfit. With boots at the bottom of your body, you are bound to be voted best dressed. No one needs to know you got them for $34 at Target because they are just that cute. You can wear them with dresses, leggings, jeans, or even nothing at all. Boots make every look a 10/10.

5. Decorate. Decorate. Decorate.

Who doesn’t love to come home to a nice room decorated with a light up pumpkin and some nice orange leaves dangling from the ceiling? I for sure know I do. Run to the dollar store or even the nearest Party City (if you're looking to spend the big bucks for a plastic pumpkin) and grab some cute decorations. Add some twinkly fairy lights and a nice fall scented room spray and you’re all set!


And there you have it! Hopefully, by following these 5 tips, you make these next two months live up to their true fall potential. Even if the leaves don’t change, you can still vamp up your look this season.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
