In all of the four seasons, fall holds a special place in my heart. The weather is gorgeous, the leaves change their colours, and most of all, Thanksgiving turkey? Oh, oh yes.
So, I thought I'd kick off this new season with a fun post filled with, 'Fall Essentials'!
Let's begin!
Clothes.
The most important aspect to the season is the clothes!
The more chilly weather will pull you into the trend of knit sweaters, warm jackets, and toasty boots.
Now here are a few examples of essentials that you should try to incorporate into your fall wardrobe.
Stay strong,
I just got this new ox-blood sweater for $15 at a boutique here in Korea a few days ago! I can definitely see it being VERY loved this fall! This scarf has been with me since last winter, I got it at Bluenotes for $10! Ox-blood was a very hot colour last year, and this year won't be any different. Have fun with your knit clothes!
I also got this piece from Korea, this one was a bit pricey, but I don't remember exactly how much it was. But, I think versatile jackets like this should be a splurge. I can't tell you how many times I have worn this. It's not even funny. The military trend was a HUGE trend this past year, and just like ox-blood, it isn't any different this time around. Definitely a staple this fall.
And you can't forget the classic fuzzy monkey jammies. I guess you could wear these out... Not going to lie... I have... (For pajama day!)
Makeup.
Just like the colours of clothing get deeper for the fall, so does makeup. I like to go with a classic neutral smokey look for everyday. But trust me, it's much more natural than a full on smokey look.
Eyeshadow- Innisfree #18 Mineral Eyeshadow. This is an absolutely GORGEOUS shade for fall! It also has some small glitter, which makes it even better!
Eyeliner- Any classic black eyeliner. I like my Maybelline Eye Studio black gel eyeliner, but I didn't bring it with me to Korea. My trick with eyeliners is to always, always, always set it with a corresponding eyeshadow colour. This way, the liner won't travel, and it will set in place.
Mascara- Maybelline the Rocket Volume Express in Very Black. This is my absolute favourite mascara, EVER! It is so voluminizing and lengthening! It really does work like a rocket, my eyelashes just blast off! Haha! This is my second tube of it, and it never ceases to amaze me.
Eyebrows- Innisfree Eco Eyebrow Kit. My eyebrows are already dark and so sometimes I just want a quick pick-me-up and I brush this on them. The kit has two shades of a taupe-y brown powder. It gives off a very natural, yet defined look.
Face- Makeup Forever Full Cover Concealer #5. This is another one of my absolute favourite products that I swear by. This is a waterproof concealer, and the littlest amount goes a very long way. I've had this for a few months and I still have more than three quarters of it left. Mind you, I use this everyday!
Lip Care- Burt's Bees Mint Beeswax Lip Balm. I have used this since I was probably five, and I always go back to it, especially during the colder months.
Lipgloss- MAC Cremesheen Glass in Richer Lusher. Coral is my favourite colour, and I definitely love putting some coral lipgloss on! MAC's cremesheen glasses are so moisturizing, they smell delicious, and aren't sticky at all!
Books.
The last category I will do is books. I have been really into reading lately. I feel like since I've been away from home, books have been keeping me from feeling homesick and lonely. Here are a few that I have enjoyed.
The Fault in Our Stars - John Green
Oh gosh... I won't start again with this book. I just can't. If you would like to see my full review and thoughts on this work of art, you can go check out my last post, 'The Fault in Our Stars: Book Review.'
I promise you, you won't regret reading this gem.
I Am Number Four - Pittacus Lore
I was at the bookstore and I bought this because I heard nothing but great reviews on it. I have to admit it was a good read, but I found the second half of the book a little cheesy. The first half was pretty realistic and interesting, but the second half had me getting a bit bored. Nonetheless, I can definitely see why so many people enjoyed this book, because I did too.
So, that's a wrap!
Hope you have a fantastic start to this fall season!
(Thanksgiving and Christmas aren't that far away! Yay! Goodness, where does time go?!)
Stay strong,
xoxo Jelly
