Every Girl's Basic Guide To Fall

Growing up 15 minutes from the Jersey Shore, I can never get enough of the sun and sand. But there’s something about the arrival of fall that has me ready to stow away my bathing suits and trade them in for a warmer wardrobe. Here’s how to make the most out of the most popular season on Pinterest.


Load up on candles.

Nothing creates a fall ambiance better than a candle. And the options they have these days are endless: from “Roasted Marshmallow” to “Pumpkin Pie.” Even “Flannel” and “Sweater Weather” (no lie, check out Bath & Body Works)! You’re bound to find a flavor you like that not only warms up the room but provides a great scent to celebrate the season.

Get comfy in a flannel.

The typical uniform for fall: a comfy, over-sized flannel. It’s also one of the most versatile items in our closets, and you can never own too many of them. With temperatures that are constantly fluctuating, a flannel is the perfect item to throw on that gives you the right amount of comfort.

Survive treks through campus in combat boots.

Combats are my favorite shoes for fall because they go with just about anything. Also, I’m able to hide warm fuzzy socks underneath. Plus, wearing them in only adds to their style, so bring them along whatever fall adventure beckons.

Three words: Pumpkin Spice Latte.

The first day I was able to purchase a Pumpkin Spice Latte at meal equiv, I did a happy dance in the middle of the lib café. This number one drink of choice is my favorite part of the season. It just tastes SO. GOOD. It’s literally all of fall blended and warmed up in one cup.

Be bold in berry.

A great way to transition your wardrobe is by adding a berry-colored lipstick. This paired with a simple cat eye gives you the basic look for fall--once you add in that flannel and combat boots!

Rack up those Insta' likes.

Show off your new go-to makeup look with a selfie. Embrace the outfits of fall on your feed. Go apple-picking until your heart is content! Take advantage of every possible moment, and snap a pic in the process so you never forget. Plus, have you noticed how great fall foliage is for a background?

So bring out your inner fall fanatic. Go where no pumpkin-picker has gone before. Or just simply HAVE FUN with the basics. Be an Insta' Queen and love every minute of it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
