ChitChat: The Autumn Tag 2014

Put away those bikinis and take out your umbrellas! Autumn, with its rain, has arrived! October is one of my favorite months in the year, because you can really see nature and the weather changing. The leaves are falling and the colors are changing. Haaa, it makes me feel really happy. I was tagged by one of my favorite bloggers of all time, Sanja, to do this tag. Let's get on to the questions!

1. Ok we're talking coffee's - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc?

I like the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks, but I haven't been going a lot there! This summer, I've gotten really into Cappucinos and that what I make at home with out Dolce Gusto Coffee machine. I'm also a lot into Nesquik chocolate milk again, with my breakfast in Ghent. Njumm!

2. Accessories - what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves?

First of all: boots! I can't wait to wear my black boots from last year again. But I also got some new booties from Marco Tozzi (you can see them in my Fall OOTD) this year. I'm completely in love with them, I love how comfortable they are and how they do not make me look like a giant. The heel is just high enough for me, without being too much.

Next, scarfs! I love them. I've bought some nice whool last week to make my own scarf! :) 

3. Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?

There are a few songs that I've been completely obsessed with the last few weeks.Look 'm up, you won't be disappointed! ^^

- Emma Louise - Jungle

- Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud

- Tom Dice ft. Elise Tovati - Il Nous Faut (Such a lovely song!)

- Daughter - Youth

- Hooverphonic - Amalfi

- Disclosure ft. Eliza Doolittle - You & Me
- Dotan - Home

4. Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I don't really wear different perfumes in different seasons, I like to wear whatever I feel like at the moment. Currently, I've been wearing 'Roses de Chloé' by Chloé a lot. It's a lovely, lingering rose scent. And ofcourse, I've been wearing my beloved 'Daisy' by Marc Jacobs often as well. 

 

5. Candles - what scents will you be burning this season?

I'm currently burning 'Harvest Peaches' by Bath and Body Works in my studio in Ghent. WAUW. It's an amazing scent, so warm and fruity! After I blow out the candle, the scent stays in the room for quite a while. When you enter my building at the ground floor, you can smell the candle. My neighbour, who's a guy, even commented on it and said that it smelled amazing. After that, I'll probably burn the Leaves candle.

6. What do you love most about Autumn?
The colors. I love all the browns, dark reds, greens,... Fall makes everything so beautiful. I also love the feeling of coming home where it's warm, after a walk in the chilly weather. 

7. Favourite makeup look?
Dark, vampy nails! I've been loving them, mostly dark reds! Also, winged eyeliner in colors like dark blue, forest green, dark brown, plum,... They're just a bit different than black. I've been using my 'Coffee' eyeliner by M.A.C. a lot lately and I really like how natural it looks.

8. What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?

Apple pie, probably. And the Ed Sheeran concert in the beginning of November! I can't wait to see him live! My mom makes an amazing shepherd's pie, but she only makes it during the colder months. I've been looking forward to that as well! I'm also just looking forward to winter, especially the week before and after Christmas. I can't wait to go shopping for presents!

What's your favorite thing about Autumn?
