Things you need for Autumn / Fall Essentials

Autumn is one of the best seasons (my personal favorite ♥) and there are several things that we need to have a perfect fall.
Cozy Sweaters
Comfortable clothes and sweaters are the first thing that you will need for fall, since summer has ended and the weather becomes more chilly. It's the best season to wear your favorite sweater with a skirt, a baggy college hoodie with some leggings, you can experiment many combinations. The most suitable colors for fall clothes are warm and dark : dark red, orange, blue and purple.

Boots
After the summer sandals, you need to switch to more autumn-like shoes, and the most suitable one is boots. Since it's not so cold like winter, you won't have to invest into think warm or fluffy boots like uggs, but ... boots are a very good choice for fall. You can wear low heals for all day long, or a higher but chunky heal which is so comfortable to give something more to your look. The boho style low suede boots are also a very good idea for fall and can be combined with everything, from jean shorts to casual dresses.

Flannels
Flannels are one of the things that immediately pops into my mind when i think of this season. You can wear a flannel shirt or just put it around your waist which will give you style but also you will have something to wear if the weather gets colder. Just by wearing flannels, it can make any outfit look more suitable for autumn, and they are sooo comfortable and easy to wear.

Darker make-up choices (lips & nails)
All the neon bright summer colors you used to paint your nails or your lips with, have to be put away because fall brings darker and more earth tone colors. A wine color lipstick is a definite fall essential, but your overall make-up choices need to be based on warm orange, red and purple shades. Also, it's the best time to try all those dark green, red, gold, and purple color nail polishes that you couldn't do in summer.

Candles
Last but not least, candles will give to you and your room a more cozy and fall feeling. Not only for decorative purpose they look very cute, but also the wide range of fall smells that are out there will make you feel like you wanna grab a book, drink hot chocolate and smell the autumn. The pumpkin scent is always good for fall, but my favorite one is the new Yankee candle called "autumn in the park" which smells like literary autumn in a jar.

A trip to Hogωαrts ♥

September is here for good. Meaning schools have already started. And many of us, every year when September comes, we wish that we received a letter from Hogwarts, asking us to attend this magic school and leave behind the old boring school. Although i'm 24 and I have passed the age of waiting for my acceptance letter for Hogwarts, it's never late to dream. Dreaming has no age. 



So since, as you have probably already guessed, i am a huge Harry Potter fan, I would never miss a chance to attend a wizard fest that took place at a nearby city and it was like I was inside Hogwarts. 

Instead of going to the bus station and wait for the school bus, I would be in Platform 9 3/4 waiting for the train. Instead of eating a poor tost that my mom made for me in the morning, I would have taken the weirdest candy beans in the train and a chocolate frog. Instead of having the always the same boring classes like math or history, I would have taken Charms, Defense against the Dark arts or Flying. 




That was going on my mind when I was in the place that looked like Hogwarts ordering butter beer and a cupcake of my favorite Hogwart's house, Slytherin of course (because the bad guys are the best guys, right?). For having a luckier day, I ordered the Felix Felicis potion, most known as liquid luck, which blew my mind away and i was lucky enough just to drink it. Being into the mood, I was wearing my Deathly Hallows symbol necklace ♥
And it felt like I was really in Hogwarts, since there was the Harry Potter movie soundtrack playing on the background all the time, and the place was exactly like Hogwarts: there was the Gryffindor Sword, the Mirror of Erised, there were bottles of magic potions and wands all around.

Autumn planning

Goodmorning people :)  

September has just started.. And with September, not only all the good things like fall, rain, leaves, cozzy clothes, boots etc come, but also bad things come like obligations for school and work. You have to say goodbye to your summer holidays, the being free feeling, sleeping in the morning and waking in the afternoon and generally do whatever you want whenever you want. Schedule is here now and we have to get used to our new reality.

So, today I woke up early morning (had to set about 5 alarms every 5 minutes to get me out of my bed!) and met my BFF out to have a really good breakfast to start our day. What else would we have? Waffles and milk.♥ After having our stomachs full, we started scheduling our program for September, working on some blog ideas, studying a little bit which felt really refreshing and we could keep track of our program so we won't fall behind in anything this year. 












The first and most important thing to keep yourself organized is a planner. You don't need to buy a planner from market which can be expensive and also so non-personalized, since many others will have the same as you. So, if you are like me, and you like to have unique things with your own style, you can just buy a plain notebook, a cute one that you will like, and you can decorate the front as you want, but also the interior. Last year I was looking so much for the perfect planner for me, that will have the exact style of dates and boxes and lists etc all the things that i was imagining, but i could never find one that fit exactly to my desires. And then i thought, why not make one? It's not a science. You can print tumblr or your own pictures and glue them to the front and make it personalized. And you can also draw the inside the way you want the calendar to look like, with different colors. For example, i have every month a different theme (September is a brown-orange color with drawn leaves, October has a halloween theme and stickers etc). So, everyone is gonna ask you "Wow where did you buy this?" and you will say "Well, I made this :)".

September please be nice and surprise me ♥
