Fall Favorites

Hey guys,

I don't know about you, but autumn is definitely my favorite time of the year. I just love the cosy fashion, hot drinks and awesome fall atmosphere. So I thought this might be a good topic to put some favorites together.

 
Candle

I'm so in love with the Yankee Candle in the scent Fireside Treats. It smells just like roasted marshmallows and after one or two hours the whole room smells like a cosy, warm patisserie.

Fake Flowers

Especially in the fall I find it really nice to decorate my room with candles and fake flowers to create a warm atmosphere even though it's getting cold outside. A little bouquet with red and orange flowers makes every room seem so homy and cosy.

Hot Beverages

Whenever I come home from a windy walk outside I am literally always craving any kind of hot drink. During the day I prefer a sweetened macchiato to get a quick boost of energy, but at night there is nothing better than a chai latte or just a normal red fruit tea.
With this being said, it's not going to surprise you that I am in love with the new reusable cups from Starbucks. They are perfect to take your coffee or tea with you to university and look super cute.


Fashionable Rubber Boots

I purchased these Michael Kors rubber boots a moth ago and instantly fell in love with them. They are super stylish, warm and comfortable without making you look like a ten-year-old. The last couple of days I was wearing them almost every time I left the house just because you don't have to worry about them getting dirty or your feet getting wet. Whenever they get dirty you can just wash it of and they look like new.








Big Sweaters

There is nothing more comfortable and cosy as warm big lambswool sweaters in XXL from the GANT men's collection. They might be on the more pricey side, but I can promise you, they are totally worth the money because they have a lovely fit and never get old or itchy.

Big Loose Waves

I actually like this hairstyle all year around, but especially in the fall I appreciate wearing my hair open so it covers up my ears and works just like a scarf around my neck and chest.

XXL Scarfs

In the fall and winter time you will never see me leaving my home without a big wrap around scarf. In my opinion a beautiful scarf completes a warmer outfit and protects you from getting a sore throat. It can also make any boring outfit look like you put a lot of effort in, when really you didn't!

Dinner Outfits

Exeter | UK

Hi everyone! 

Sorry we have been a little absent the last couple of weeks, but things got very busy recently. Ilaria came to visit my at university though, which was so exciting! There was barely time to take any proper picture but we did manage to snap this one just before we went out to dinner on her last night. If you live in the UK and have not been to Ask Italian... I don't know what you are doing with your life! It is maybe even my favorite chain restaurant over here. I tend to always go for my favorite dish which is the seafood linguine. I personally love seafood but I guess that is personal preference. Pizzas are amazing as well, and don't even get me started on the desserts. Mouthwatering, I honestly mean it.
But now to the outfits. It was a bit chilly on this day so we wrapped up a bit. The jeans I had only just purchased and have been wearing almost every day! I've always wanted ripped boyfriend jeans but never found any that are actually fitting and don't make me look bigger than I am.

Fur vest - Local boutique

And just look at that food... The cakes were some of the best ever! Pistachio plum tart, cheesecake and a chocolate fudge tart. Some ice cream on the side and my day is made. Maybe even my week that's how delicious it was.

Hope you are all well,

Britta xxx
