Sequins and Sea Breezes: Fall About Me

Fall About Me

10/21/2015


Happy actual Humpday! I wasn't going to post today since I had a massive headache last night and I have quite the busy day ahead of me, I have a meeting from 9:30 to 10:30 am, then one from 10:30 am to noon and then at 12:30 I have to leave to head over to our photo/video shoot location where I'll be the remainder of the day. So it's going to be quite the busy day but after seeing all these fun fall about me posts I had to jump in and do one myself! Especially since fall is my favorite season, even if we don't get much of one around here. 

Favorite Candle Scent -  I love pretty much all fall scents from pumpkin to cinnamon apple but this year I've been loving this Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow candle. It's a little sweet, a little pumpkin-y and all around delicious. But some of my favorite candles are the WoodWick candles and I always get Amber & Firelight or Evening Bonfire for fall.

Best Fragrance For Fall - If I switch up my scent from my usual Dior, I like to go with something a bit more warm for fall/winter like Michael Kors Sexy Amber.

Coffee, Tea or Hot Chocolate? - All of the above!  I'm not usually a hot coffee fan except for a peppermint or white chocolate mocha but I love tea and hot chocolate. 


Favorite Thanksgiving Food - Um all of it? Darn it, why is this so hard? I'm a sucker for turkey and mashed potatoes so if I had to choose, that for sure. I'm all about those leftovers too!

What is the Best Fall Memory You Have? - When I lived in Cincinnati one of my close friends owned a farm and her family would always have a big fall festival with a pumpkin patch, horse rides fall food, etc. I'd always go hang out with her and we'd eat apple cider donuts, drink apple cider and ride horses while watching everyone at the fall festival.

Favorite Type of Pie - Umm... the only pie I actually like is key lime pie haha! And that is so not fall

{Key Lime Pie from Key West this summer}

Most Worn Sweater - Crazy enough I don't have any pictures (that I can remember) of my favorite sweater but last year I bought a chunky cable knit sweater from American Eagle that is so soft and cozy. This one is extremely similar to it but with zippers on the side.

What is Autumn Like Where You Live? - Umm well it really depends. It can be in the upper 80's to low 90's during the day or it can be low 80's to upper 70's during the day with mid to low 60's at night. There have been a few years where it's been pretty chilly, especially at night so it's hard to say.

Football Games or Jumping in Leaf Piles? - Football games all the way.


What Song Really Gets You in the Fall Spirit? - Ummm... "Come, Little Children" from Hocus Pocus? Mainly because it's my favorite Halloween movie and Sarah Jessica Parker. Duh.


Which Makeup Trend: Dark Lips or Winged Liner? - I have yet to master the winged liner so bring on the dark, vampy lips!


Is Pumpkin Spice Worth All the Hype? - Not in my opinion but to each their own! 

Favorite Fall TV Show - Do I really have to choose just one?! Right now I'm loving Reign because Mary has become such a  bad ass this season!

Combat Boots or Uggs? - Sorry Ker, but I'm going with Uggs. I can't pull off combat boots.

Skinny Jeans or Leggings? - Can jeggings be an option? Oh who am I kidding. I'd live in leggings if it was appropriate. I always choose comfy.

Halloween: Yay or Nay? - Um YAY! I LOVE Halloween! I love haunted houses, getting dressed up, the candy, and everything else that comes along with Halloween. 

 {Halloween Horror Nights 2013}
 {Halloween 2012}

What Do You Think About Black Friday? - Hello no. Just no.  

Fall Mornings or Evenings? - Both! On the weekends I love sitting outside reading in the crisp cool weather but I also love sitting outside having a class of wine in the evening too.

One Fall 2015 Trend You're Loving - Always with the plaid but also the destroyed knee denim. 

Annnddd that's all folks! Sorry if I'm slow to respond today, like I said, it's going to be a hectic one! Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

  14. I laughed when I read the part about football or jumping in a leaf pile for you. I think we all know the answer to that one ;-) Hope you have a good day even though it's going to be busy!

  15. I feel the same way about pumpkin spice everything and Black Friday (which is really Thursday now), it's becoming overkill. Hope your busy day goes well and your head feels better *hugs* :)

  16. Yes for football! It definitely helps to get me in the fall mood. And I'm in the same situation as y'all in Florida, we're still dealing with warm temperatures so it's not feeling too much like fall yet. And love that the song from Hocus Pocus gets you in the mood for fall! I ordered it off of amazon but have yet to watch it this year.

  21. I love the pumpkin at the top of the post!! Going to your friend's farm sounds so fun! My uncle has a farm near Dayton and I used to love going up there to visit in the fall.

  22. Pumpkin vanilla marshmallow is my absolute favorite fall candle! Those other two sound really nice also! Love the throw back pics of you and Shannon! I am not all about pumpkin spice either. I always prefer a vanilla or caramel flavor. I do like pumpkin cake though! xo

  23. Florida fall weather sounds so perfect to me, though I can totally see why you guys would be tired of the warm weather. We've had just a couple of days of cold and I'm already over it! I cannot wait to have a peppermint mocha, sooo good!

  24. I love this idea of the Fall about me! Fall is seriously the best season ever and there isn't a think about it I don't like (well except that winter follows too closely behind!)
