There’s something about fall that makes everything feel a little more magical. From the changing leaves to the seasonal drinks, fall is the perfect time to romanticize everyday life and make new memories with your favorite people. Whether you’re looking for a reason to dress up, spend time with friends or try new hairstyles, here are five ways to make this fall a little more fun.
- Find a Girly Fall Show
Nothing says fall quite like curling up under a cozy blanket and getting lost in a new or old show. With the cooler weather setting in and everybody in the fall spirit, it’s the perfect time to find a show to watch that matches the season’s cozy, romantic and warm vibes. Whether you’re in the mood for a small-town romance, friendship drama or mystery, there’s always plenty to add to your watchlist. Some good recommendations to watch in this gloomy weather are Gilmore Girls, Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries.
My personal favorite is Pretty Little Liars. I always enjoy cuddling up in bed with a hot cup of tea consuming the mystery of who “A” is.
- Invest in a Fall Wardrobe
With the arrival of Fall, along comes windy breezes and rainy days. I noticed, not only does the weather change, but our outfits do as well. Summer colors exit, and a new color pattern and more layers becomes the norm. Although it’s a change, it doesn’t mean you have to be less “cute” or less “girly.” It’s just an opportunity for a new wardrobe. The perfect color patterns to wear are Burgundy, Plum, Brown, Cream, Hunter Greens, Orange and Yellow. Even though the weather is cool, long dresses are still a must, paired with cozy sweaters. Fall also is the perfect opportunity to bring out your UGG shoes and ballerina flats. I’m currently building my fall cart and have added plenty of long lounge dresses, comfy sweaters and matching sets. Use this time to embrace your girlyness while still incorporating the fall spirit.
- Try Fall Drink or Visit Coffee Shops
One of the best parts of the fall is the return of seasonal drinks at your favorite coffee shops or known coffee cups. From pumpkin spice lattes to hot caramel coffees, autumn always offers the best options. This is the perfect weather to get creative with your coffee order and try the new seasonal flavors. Make a fun outing by visiting a new or local cafe. Make a cute tik tok vlog or review of your drink! Grab your girlfriend, put your cute fall outfit on, and turn an ordinary coffee run into a little autumn adventure.
- Give Yourself a Fall Beauty Refresh
Fall is the perfect time to try a new look or something new. I’m using this time of year to try something I never had the courage to do over the sticky summer–brown hair. As summer leaves us, it’s fun to swap out the old for the new. I suggest trying all types of fun changes to your appearance. This could be coloring your hair a warmer color, trading out glowy-colorful makeup looks to bronzed-matte beats, getting your nails the color of the changing leaves, or trying maybe a brown/burgundy mascara to awaken your eye color.
A small change is such a fun embrace of the fall season, and we should all try something out the box sometimes.
5. Try a New Fall Recipe
Fall offers the perfect excuse to stay in the house and experiment in the kitchen. From sweet treats out of the warm oven to big comforting meals, using new seasonal flavors is such a great hobby to pick up on. Whether you’re baking pumpkin bread, making homemade apple pie or preparing a delicious chicken pot pie for dinner, you’re sure to love it. You could invite your friends and make it a girls night, plan a night with your romantic partner, or just have a cozy alone night. Some fun sweet treats to try are caramel apples, cinnamon rolls and brown butter chocolate chip cookies. But before a delicious dessert, savory meals are definitely a must. You could try a few recipes of pumpkin pasta, creamy tuscan chicken, and butternut squash soup.
At the end of the day, Fall is all about enjoying the little things that make the season special. Trying a new recipe is a simple way to step outside your comfort zone and try a new traditional way of living. Being a girl is so much fun and we should take every chance to romanticize our lives. So, pick a recipe you’ve been wanting to try, or try a new fall coffee; invite a friend to join you, and make a fun fall memory that’ll last forever!
