sweater weather tag

Hey Guys,
I'm going to do the sweater weather tag, this is quite an old tag but i figured I would do it anyway:)

1. Favorite candle scent? 

I really like fruity candles all year round however a specific Autumn scent would probably be a sandalwood candle.


2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

I really despise hot drinks, I know weird right! The sensation of them makes me feel sick which is a pain in the butt for the colder seasons. If I had to choose, flavour wise it would be coffee.


3. What's the best fall memory you have?

I remember going to my Nan's house and diving in the huge leaf piles she had made for us!


4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 

Dark Lips because I think they look really autumnal, especially the berry tones.

5. Best fragrance for fall?

I don't really have a specific fragrance for autumn, but my favourite scent at the moment is Love spell from Victoria secret.


6. Favorite Thanksgiving food? 

In England we don't seem to celebrate thanksgiving, I wish we did though!

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

Its very rainy and cold but I love that type of weather.

8. Most worn sweater? 

Probably one from next (its cream with jewels on the collar)


9. Must-have nail polish this fall? 

My last blog post was about autumn nails so if you want you can check that out.


10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

Probably jumping in leaf piles!


11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

Skinny jeans, especially topshop joni ones!


12. Combat boots or Uggs? 

style wise, combat boots but for comfort definitely uggs.


13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype? 

No I don't think it is but its not that much of a hype here.


14. Favorite fall TV show? 

Keeping up with the Kardashians is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine :)



15. What songs really gets you into the fall spirit?

coincidentally the sweater weather song by the neighbourhood.

Autumn/fall nails!

Hey Guys,
Sorry I didn't post last week I was busy studying for an exam :(
Anyway this week I'm going to talk about Autumn/fall nail polish because I love painting my nails with cool designs and I have recently been wearing these colours!

In Autumn I usually go for quite dark and neutral colours here are some examples.


These colours are really cute for special occasions such as parties and whenever you just want to make your nails a bit more interesting.
The purple nails are perfect for a purple or blue themed outfit as they give a really nice galaxy like effect and looks really elegant.
The black ones are really simple so adding a bit of sparkle makes them perfect for any occasion.
The purple and white nails are cute and so easy to do the one nail with the chevron design makes it more interesting and looks a lot harder to do than it actually is, all you need to do is paint the base purple and then apply tape once dry in a chevron design, once painted peel off the tape and you'll have perfectly painted nails.


These are the more pale colours of my autumn faves, the nude one is quite discrete but looks perfect and quite professional if you are going for that type of style, the grey ones also look quite professional and are perfect for going out or wearing everyday if you wanted to change them into an evening look without removing the nail polish, which will damage your nails, you can add some glitter or add a pattern like the above styles.

I hope you enjoyed reading my post comment below your favourite colours for autumn!
Thanks for Reading
