Hello friends, it’s me Melanie! For my next
guest blog post, I wanted to take some time to highlight one of my favorite
seasons. While summer was my childhood favorite (no school + my birthday in
July!), I’ve come to truly love autumn/fall as I’ve become an adult for many
different reasons…..and here they are (in no particular order)!
1: The COLORS
Mustard yellow, maroon,
olive green, burnt orange, and more! I just adore the rich, warm colors
associated with autumn so much and try to incorporate them in everything I do
including makeup, fashion choices, home décor, etc.
The
Natasha Denona Safari All Matte Eyeshadow Palette is one I’ve been eyeing
this autumn. Some of these colors even work for other seasons!
Target online
also has some gorgeous fall décor (is there anything they don’t sell that I
don’t need/want?)
I just purchased these
pumpkin tealight holders from Pier
One Imports and I am obsessed!
Wayfair
also has some gorgeous fall wreaths on sale!
Plaid skirts using a fall
color palette are an autumn ESSENTIAL for me! This is one I’ve been eyeing on Modcloth.com
My shop, FemmeDeBloom,
also has some new autumn & Halloween accessories! Shop the collection here.
For my collar
loving gals! Available here in my shop!
It’s
time to bust out the BOOTS & booties!
I’ve been eyeing these cuties
from Forever
21!
Totally obsessed with the
Samantha Voodoo Vixen dress as well!
Available here.
2: Sweater/Cardigan weather
Now that it’s cooling down
(in most parts of the world) it’s time to invest in some cardigans and
sweaters! Here are some of my favorites!
Navy cropped cardigan from Campbell Crafts (more colors available!)
Balloon Sleeve Knit Sweater from Forever 21
Austin Mock-Neck Cable Knit Sweater from Urban Outfitters
I adore the sleeves on this pullover from Madewell!
3: Where my Pumpkin Lovers at? (Meeee! Edited by Lulu!)
Yes, I admit, I’m one of
THOSE. I make it a point to try everything I possibly can that is pumpkin
flavored or scented during the season to
the point where I vow to never eat pumpkin again! Of course, I break this vow
when autumn comes around again because I completely forget how over it I was
and the cycle continues! Here are some pumpkin goodies I’ll be trying this
year!
You better believe I’m
trying these pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls for breakfast baby!
So you can make your own
pumpkin spice latte at home and save your Starbucks money!
This Yankee
Candle is my favorite scent to fill my home for the holidays! It makes me
want to eat all the pumpkin pie!
This might be a bit
overboard for some people, but if you’re into tea this is one of my favorites
for the fall season! From Harney
& Sons.
Every year I also like to
try a new pumpkin themed baking recipe! I came across this recipe for pumpkin
cookies with cream cheese frosting and I can’t wait to try it!
4: So much TV & not enough
time
I spend a lot of time
doing crafts in my little office…which means I listen to a lot of podcasts
& audio books and binge watch a lot of TV! I love the fall because it means
some of my favorite shows are back and there are new ones to watch! Some of my
favorites include This Is Us, Grey’s Anatomy, The Goldberg’s, Blackish, Fresh
Off The Boat, Handmaid’s Tale, Game of Thrones (although it never starts in the
Fall ha!), Riverdale and SO MUCH MORE!!!!
Comment this post and tell me what you’ll be watching this TV season! I am always looking for new shows!
5: Halloween
Last but
DEFINITELY not least…Halloween! It’s the best holiday ever! I love everything
about Halloween including the treats, the colors, dressing up, & of course
going to Disneyland (or other parks for those not in California/US).
For those
looking for some cute Halloween & Halloween/Disney inspired accessories
check out the Halloween collection from FemmeDeBloom!

Need some Halloween costume ideas this
year? Here are some of favorites I found on the interwebs! I lean toward DIY
costumes because I think it can be a lot easier than you think to put together
an outfit based on clothes you have with some extra creative touches!
DIY
White Rabbit costume by Color Me Courtney
You can never go wrong with channeling your
inner Audrey Hepburn! Costume idea from The
Joy of Fashion Blog
Omg you guys, I think I’m going to do this
this year!!!!! Isn’t this
adorable?! Another one from Joy
of Fashion Blog
Mary Poppins! I love this idea! You can
totally reuse all of this clothing too! Details available here.
I would love to hear from you all regarding
some of your favorite fall fashions, DIY Halloween costumes, fall activities or
accessory shops so feel free to comment below and share!
Thank you for reading!
