If only that title could actually be in tune with "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas," then we would all be golden. However, autumn is quickly approaching us and I (among others) am very excited. Only a week from Wednesday is the autumnal equinox and you best believe I am pumped for it. Let's go over some of my favorite things I'm looking forward to this upcoming season.
1. Apple-picking: Who doesn't love caramel apples on sticks and running through the trees looking for delicious apples to eat?
2. All the nice-smelling things at Bath & Body Works: Literally give me ALL the cinnamon and pumpkin candles and lotions. ALL OF IT.
3. Apple cider doughnuts: If you have never had one of these, get out. Now.
4. Caramel Apple Spice drink at Starbucks (move over, pumpkin spice latte): Next time you are contemplating a PSL, order a caramel apple spice. My best friend describes it as "liquid apple pie" and I think that's the best way to describe it.
5. Boots: Give me boots and tights right now. Right now.
6. The leaves changing colors: If you're lucky enough to witness this...cherish it every year.
7. Sweaters!: I am a total sucker for a big, comfy sweater. Paired with leggings and some boots? Good to go for the whole season.
8. The weather: Cool mornings and cozy nights are what my dreams are made of.
9. Thanksgiving, duh: No explanation needed.
10. Pumpkin: Pumpkin spiced anything and you win my heart. Also my mom makes the best pumpkin pancakes and I just want to eat 30 of them every day.
11. Butternut squash ravioli: YAAAAAASSSSSSSS.
12. A themed Instagram account: Tell me a fall-themed Instagram account isn't your dream because it totally is mine.
13. Fall fashion: I already covered sweaters but plaid skirts, scarves, and berry lipstick? Sign me up.
14. Jeans!: Luckily, I spent some time in London this summer and was able to wear jeans on rainy and cooler days, which made me extremely happy since jeans are honestly my favorite clothing item.
15. The beginning of not shaving your legs: Ladies, you know wassup.
16. Not sweating: People like the summer but forget that you are hot mostly all the time.
17. Not sweating while drinking your morning coffee/tea/preferred hot beverage for the morning: PLEASE LET ME DRINK THE MOCHA LATTE IN PEACE!
18. Hats and beanies: There are only so many outfits I can wear a baseball hat with, and beanies are so much easier to rotate. Plus, people don't notice if you've worn the same beanie to class a couple of times rather than a baseball hat.
19. Halloween: I'm not the biggest fan of Halloween but it feels wrong to not include it in this list. Plus, half-price candy once the holiday is over? Yes.
20. Candy corn: I've already started stocking up.
