Tag: I ♥ Fall

Believe it or not but this is actually my 100th post!  And no better way to celebrate than with the "I ♥ Fall" tag, because A) tags  are  fun and B) I love fall. So here we go...  

1. Favorite Fall lip product? 

Burberry Lip Velvet in Rose Pink - The color screams fall, and the texture is so lush it feels like your lips are actually made out of velvet. 


2. Favorite Fall Nail Polish?

OPI "Lighten up you're two pence!" - Because it reminds me of caramel apples, colorful leaves, and Jack-o' lanters.


3. Favorite Starbucks Fall Drink?

Chai Latte - technically not a fall drink, but my go to for this time of the year, and the only sweet drink I actually like.  


4. Favorite Fall Candle?


Not really a candle fan, but I do have a few "pumpkiny" ones around the house.

5. Favorite Fall Scarf or accessory?

Miss Selfridges floral skull scarf - I chose this 20 Euro alternative to my beloved McQueen scarves because it is almost impossible to make out the interesting print unless the scarf is folded out... and I love to keep people guessing.


6. Haunted house, haunted hay ride, or haunted corn maze?


 Like I could choose just one....

7. Favorite Halloween movie?

Trick 'r Treat - The greatest Halloween movie ever made. 


8. Favorite candy to eat on Halloween?

Lindt Halloween Mix - This was hard as I'm not a candy person, but the Lindt Halloween collection is just so pretty...


9. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

There may or may not be a red wig involved, and that's all you're getting out of me at this point...

10. What is your Favorite thing about Fall?

You mean besides Halloween? Definitely the weather, the leaves, the storms - it's the perfect season.

So what do you "heart" about fall? Let me know,  comment below!

Peace, Love and Pumpkins!

Pumpkin Spice ...not really that nice.

Here is a confession: me the self-proclaimed autumn manic who lives for Halloween, cozy sweaters and boots doesn't like Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Okay, so it might have something to do with the fact that I usually take my coffee like Agent Dale Cooper: as black as midnight on a moonless night...

I've never been one to enjoy these fancy - or dare I say girly - drinks. But it seems like Pumpkin Spice Lattes have become a bigger part of fall than colorful leaves and crisp air, heck people even say that  fall doesn't even begin until Starbucks starts serving them...

Last year I pretty much talked myself into liking them (I wanted to be part of  the movement!), and it actually worked for a while, but liking and enjoying are two very different things...

So what is a fall-fan who doesn't enjoy this thing, that is supposed to be the true essence of fall, to do? Find an alternative of course!  

I recently discovered pumpkin honey, and besides coming in the most perfect and radiant shade of orange it actually does serve as an amazing sweetener, that can give a cup of coffee the pumpkin flavor without overpowering it, and if you wanna go crazy stir it in your milk before foaming it - et voilà orange pumpkin milk! And the very best, it's also so much cheaper (and healthier) than that Starbucks stuff...

Peace, Love, and Sunshine
