sweater weather

so we've (kind of) finally hit the point in the year where you can walk outside and just wear sweaters and no jackets and i love that so much. honest to goodness i hate wearing jackets with a passion. so sweater weather is perfect. 

if you're familiar with youtube at all, you know about the tag videos that go around, especially the seasonal ones. my friend emily did the sweater weather tag on her blog, and while she didn't tag me in it, she did encourage me to do it, so here we go?! i'm not sure how well this will work out.

favorite candle scent?

i'm assuming this means fall candle scents? in which case, i have to say that i wasn't allowed to burn candles at home, and i'm not allowed to burn them in my dorm room, so tbh i couldn't tell you because i don't know!! 

coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

coffee. i'm so addicted to coffee that it's a problem. 

what's the best fall memory you have?
i want to say my trip to new york city that i recently took, because i don't really have a specific memory that is associated with fall, if that makes any sense. i do remember that one year, two of my friends and i dressed up as cinderella and her two ugly stepsisters, and dressing up ugly was rather fun. 

what makeup trend do you prefer: dark lipstick or winged eyeliner?

i think dark lipstick? just because it's easier to put on. eyeliner is such a pain, and lipstick not so much. i don't know if i can pull off dark lipstick, but i have a few friends who can, and they look stunning.

what do you want to be for halloween?

honestly, i don't get super excited for halloween. this year, the only reason i'm dressing up is because i have to attend a few events in costume. i really wanted to be veronica from heathers: the musical (based on the movie) but that costume is kind of dumb if you're alone and don't have a group to go with, which i don't. for one of my events, i believe we're going as cowboys/cowgirls, so there you go.

what do you do to get in the fall spirit?
tbh, i'm not sure that i do much, if anything. unless getting salted caramel mochas at starbucks counts?

what is autumn weather like where you live?

both in michigan and back home in new york, it's gorgeous. it's chilly, but usually not too chilly, so i can just wear my fleece and a scarf, and the leaves change to beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and red, and it's literally an explosion of color. there's been a lot of rain this year too, which is weird.

most worn sweater?

my most worn sweater isn't really a sweater, per say, rather, it's a quarter zip from my high school. it's just comfortable, okay?

must-have nail polish this fall?
essie's eternal optimist and essie's good as gold. i'm obsessed with both. 

football games or jumping in leaf piles?
can i say both? jumping in leaf piles is really fun, but at michigan football is everything, and honestly, the games are pretty fun. football saturdays are a must have.

hats or scarves?
scarves. i hate hats. with a passion. 

is pumpkin spice worth the hype?
i don't think so, but that might just be because i don't like lattes. the scent can't be beat though. 

favorite halloween movie?
if the answer to this isn't halloweentown and all it's sequels, you're doing life wrong. 

what song really gets you in the fall spirit?

there are fall song? i'm not really sure, honestly, but right now i'm jamming to 1989 by taylor swift. so that, if it counts. i also guess all too well by taylor swift, because of the line "autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place" and the fact that the secret message was maple lattes, which sounds very fall-y to me.

 what are some of your favorite parts about fall? let me know!
