My 10 Autumn Essentials

ITS THE SECOND DAY OF AUTUMN YAYAYAYAYAYAY. Autumn is definitely my second favourite season (right next to summer) because of all the cute trends and the fact that it's sweater and hot chocolate weather. Soooo... I decided to share some of the items that I must have during the Fall season! Here it goessss....

❦ NUMBER 1: BLAZERS 


This blazer, from H &M,  is my newest purchase this fall season and is probably my favourite piece of clothing at the moment. The dark wine colour is a very "autumn-y" (if that's a word) and also can be matched with a variety of colours (black, white, pink, grey, etc.). It's perfect to throw on when the weather is getting cooler, but not cold enough for a jacket. A nice blazer can also make any outfit automatically more dressy, which is useful for job interviews, picture day, etc. I find blazers an essential piece in a girl's fall closet. 

❦ NUMBER 2: KNIT BEANIES


This pale pink knit beanie I'm wearing is from Ardene. It's actually a very warm beanie, which is useful because I live in Canada where it can be pretty cold during the fall time. I also love the mini silver detailings in the wool of this knit beanie. When late October and November rolls around, I love pairing different knit beanies with a peacoat and a scarf. It keeps me warm and looks super cute.

❦ NUMBER 3: LEGGINGS + BOOTS COMBINATION


The boots I'm wearing in the photo above are from Aldo and the grey leggings are from Costco (the same ones in my Europe Post). Leggings and tights are essential in my fall wardrobe because sometimes, I still like being girly and wearing dresses, so leggings/tights keep me warm. Leggings also can be paired extremely well with oversized sweaters. I always wear my leggings with a pair of boots as well because, well, it's just the perfect combination. My Aldo boots are my favourite because the colour matches pretty much any colour bottoms I own and are the perfect height as well.

❦ NUMBER 4: SWEATERS 


What's everyone's favourite thing about autumn? ITS SWEATER WEATHER WOOHOOOO. I'm not going to lie..... my closet is full of sweaters. It's probably what I wear most in Fall and Winter. I especially love oversized sweaters which I can pair (as stated above) with leggings and skinny jeans. My favourite oversized sweater is in the photo above. It's a plain white one with lace detailing from American Eagle. It's on the thinner side so I wear it more often during the fall season rather than in the winter. 

❦ NUMBER 5: INFINITY SCARVES 


Infinity scarves are cute all year round and are probably the type of scarves I wear the most often. When Autumn comes around however, it's time to take out your warmer infinity scarves. Jenny, my sister, is modelling a super cute black infinity scarf in the photo above. Black is a great colour for an infinity scarf because you can wear it literally with any outfit and it will look amazing. I also love wearing infinity scarves so that they peak out from under my coat; it makes a cute outfit and also keeps you very warm. 

❦ NUMBER 6: DARKER NAIL POLISHES 


Autumn is here so it's time to put away your pale, pastel nail polishes and time to take out your deeper coloured ones! Currently I am wearing O.P.I nail polish in the colour of Blue my Mind (hahaha the name is so punny). I love O.P.I because the finished product is very polished and shiny. However, don't forget your clear coat at the end because O.P.I does chip easily. This colour is a deeper colour then what I usually wear but is still bright and fun. I'm a very pastel person so I don't like jumping into extremely dark nail polishes right away. However, I do recommend going a little darker than me, even don't be afraid to try black! 

❦ NUMBER 7: BUTTON-UP CHIFFON TOPS


Stores usually sell chiffon tops in the Summer but by all means, don't stop wearing them in the fall! I actually find myself wearing chiffon tops more in the fall season. This chiffon top is from Forever 21 and is a plain white colour with mini studs on the collar. Pay attention to the collars of chiffon tops because they can look super cute peaking out from sweaters! I'm definitely planning on wearing this top with sweaters a lot! Also, because this top is long-sleeved, you can also wear it over tank tops to make a summery outfit more fall-like.

❦ NUMBER 8: WARM CARDIGANS


Sorry for the awkward pose haha. The cardigan I'm wearing is from Urban Outfitters. LOOK HOW COSY AND WARM IT LOOKS. I'm always so obsessed with warm cardigans in the fall time and I buy A TON. They just look so nice on top of outfits and keep you extra warm. Most cardigans in the fall time are oversized so once again, those leggings come in handy! I personally like cardigans more than hoodies, which a lot of people wear during the fall-time,  because they look more girly and dressy. 

❦ NUMBER 9: FALL SCENTED CANDLES 


This is a new candle I bought at Ikea the other day and get this: IT'S CINNAMON SCENTED!!!!! Cinnamon just reminds me of apple cider and beaver tails (if you're Canadian then you know how yummy beaver tails are!!). This will make my room smell like autumn (YES THAT IS POSSIBLE), and also give it a warmer vibe which will help me feel warmer on cold days. Candles are just perfection in general though so if you don't have one in your room, GET ONEE!! (:

❦ NUMBER 10: PEACOAT 


Last but not least, it's my baby. My peacoat. Now look, I know you see a lot of middle-aged women wearing these; but seriously, if you find the right one, you will love it forever and ever. This super cute white peacoat is from Guess and I actually got it as a gift a couple of years ago. And yes, I'm still wearing it!!!!!! If you're Canadian then peacoats will keep you nice and warm in late October and November when the days start getting chilly! The material Guess used for this coat is such good quality and is seriously my warmest fall coat ever.


SO THAT IS ALL THE ESSENTIALS I HAVE FOR THE AUTUMN SEASON! I hope you enjoyed the post and if you did, please leave a comment about any suggestions or any ideas for future posts!
