Favorites of Fall

Today welcomes in my favorite month, and even though fall has already started, October makes it feel real to me! Here are a few of my favorite things about fall:

• Weather

The weather is perfect, in my opinion. Not too warm and it's getting crisp and colorful. Also, since this is a transition time it is off season for travel in some places where you will still have a great time when its cheaper and less crowded. As a young person with a little bit of money, interested in travel, this article by CNN is perfect to point us in the direction of some of those places.

• Fashion

We all know that it can be chilly during the morning and night and burning up at noon. I love boots, sweaters, scarfs and the layers that fall calls for. I have been pinning so many looks that I can’t wait to try here.

• Fair… & fair food

If you have been reading my blog then you know that I love fair food. I look forward to having my favorites this year too like smoked turkey legs and cotton candy. Here is a previous post about the Texas State fair last year.

• My Birthday!

• Halloween (for the pumpkin carving)

I’m not really into scary things, but I love pumpkin carving! My friends and I usually get together and have a little party.

• Homecoming and Tailgates

My alma mater makes a big deal out of homecoming and it’s a time when I get to see people I haven’t seen in forever, so it is a favorite time of mine.

• Warm drinks

Hot chocolate & hot cider

• Thanksgiving

Grandma’s sweet potato pie… Enough said

And last but not least 

• PINK everything!

Because October is breast cancer month you will see pink everywhere. Because it is not just about pretty pink everywhere, I have a post here about the importance of self exams that includes a link to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
