fall loves 2016

Fall is my absolute favorite. The crisp air that brushes across my nose, reminds me that I should pull out some of the seasonal favorites and use them. When I do, my mood seems to be a little bit better even if I know snow is around the corner.
​
​There are specific things that I don’t mind pulling out of the closet and putting them on repeat every year.

This blanket scarf is my go-to and moves to turn me into a “basic babe”. I even keep one in the car in case of emergency because yes, they are that big. The thing that always discouraged me was that the patterns I loved were what seemed like a million dollars, which I refuse to pay for a scarf. At first, when I found this lovely deal on Amazon, I was skeptical because it travels from across the sea. With a little patience and enthusiasm when the three I now have arrived way before their expected due date, I have ordered multiple things from this company. $8.99 (FREE SHIPPING) for a scarf, you can’t beat it!
 



​Another slammer deal I plucked from Amazon was this divine herringbone vest at a fraction of the cost anywhere else. It is durable, I have washed it multiple times, and it goes with everything I have. I don’t love a large puffy vest and this one satisfies my desired thickness.
 




​Often times when I drive Daniella to school, I always have a coffee cup in my hand. Initially, my friend Addie raved over this brand. Let me tell you, if there is one thing she doesn’t joke about is coffee. So, I bought one and this insulated cup has changed my life. Before, I would just throw it in a dollar store mug and be on my way. However, since getting this guy, I have eliminated the extra trip to the microwave for a warm up.



​In case you don’t know this little fun fact about me, I LOVE, I mean, LOOOVVEEE self-help books. I know that may sound a little crazy, but any book I can find to uplift me and light a little fire to do something great, I am down for. However, I don’t always have the time to sit and read. Often times, I am driving to and from Daniella’s practices, running errands, or typing blog posts. Audible lets me be hands free and still “read” what I like. This free 30-day trial got me hooked, especially with two free audible books and I continued to subscribe. Probably the best choice I have made this year.

My last favorite is one that I just found. It may be the best coffee because it was on sale this week (totally kidding) or the fact that it got me over the hump of not loving hazelnut flavors. I have always been a caramel or vanilla type of gal, until last week. Kroger had Seattle's Best Roasted Hazelnut on sale and I immediately came to Amazon to buy all I could in large amounts so I don’t have to worry if someone finds out at the grocery store how delish it is, they buy it out. Obnoxious, I know. You’ll thank me later.

Fall makes me feel cozy and most of all a little more aware of being thankful (not that I’m not any other sector of the year). It allows me to dress in layers, which I can’t deny, I love. Most of all, it makes me feel at home, snuggled with my family and loving that soon, we get to be gathered with our family all under one roof. What are your favorites?!
