My fall essentials

At first I want to apologise for my long blogging absence. I've been in hospital recently and had problems getting all the pictures I wanted. I have missed blogging a lot.
Anyway, fall has finally hit England, its getting colder and whereas many people are moaning about it, I am loving it. FINALLY it is acceptable to cuddle up in bed with a good book and a hot drink. And that's exactly what this blog post is about: the things I (and hopefully you too) love in fall.

Enjoy :)

Sweaters

My love for sweaters is something I could talk about for ever. They are so easy to style, just put on a pair of leggings/disco pants/skinny jeans and throw on an over sized sweater. Moreover they keep you nice and cosy in fall. Just perfect..

Here are six of my favourite samples. The one in the top left corner is vintage, I drew the smiley face on it and added the collar. The top middle one is from New Look and a staple in my wardrobe (I sometimes wear it with my whatever beanie which you'll see below :D). The red sweater is from boohoo and I love it endlessly due to its effortless and stylish look. Now, everyone needs at least one Christmas sweater in their wardrobe, mine is from Glimpse design and it is soooo comfy. Next is my super over sized grey sweater from FB sister (no idea where I got that) which says Keep Calm on the sleeves and is perfect for layering or adding lots of jewelry. Last is the bottom right sweater with the studded crosses, which was a massive trend a few years ago but I still love it (New Look).

Beanies

I think this one is obvious. Perfect for those bad-hair days or when your ears are freezing. At the same time they look super cute  and I think they just add a nice touch to every outfit. Here are three of my beanies. The green one is from Topshop and I got it for St Nicholas day last year and I don't think I've ever loved an accessory this much. It's just perfection.

Pumpkins

Yes, I know Halloween is over. To be honest I wanted to post these photos earlier but just never managed to do it. However I make pumpkin soup all throughout fall and also leave my carved pumpkins out as long as possible. For me they are just a fall staple, so I thought I'd include them. I forget every year how disgusting the actual carving part is, because the shaping of the pumpkin face is just so much fun. It's an awesome activity to do with family or friends!

Comment which one you think is mine!

Hot chocolate/tea and biscuits

As I mentioned earlier, I looove me a cup of tea! Add some nice biscuits and finished is your instant fall feel. There's just nothing better than sitting all cuddled up with a hot drink inside while it is raining or freezing cold outside. 

Look at my fancy effects.... ;)

A good book

This is so important in fall! You spend a lot more time inside, warming up (with your tea) and you can't just always watch a film or be online. Sometimes you need a break from all that stuff and read a good old hardback book! I'm on the hunt for one at the moment, so if you have one that you love please tell me. I recently saw the maze runner so I think I'll definitely try and get my hands on that book. And if you say you don't like reading, then just try audible.co.uk. I haven't tried it out myself yet but everyone is raving about it and it seems to be perfect for those people who don't like reading themselves.

Booties

My staple shoe in fall. Fits with everything, keeps your feet dry and looks stylish. If you don't have a pair, I strongly suggest you get one in a neutral colour as soon as possible.

Fuzzy socks

Please tell me you understand what I'm on about! Fuzzy socks are heaven on earth when it gets cold. They keep your feet super snug and are just addictive. 

Candles

Candles just make everything look more like fall. They turn your room into a cosy haven for the cold fall time. I love candles, especially scented ones, all year round but in fall they just seem to get even better. The scents that are on the market at the moment smell soooo incredible good (e.g. Christmas treats by Yankee Candle) and put you in a Christmasy mood. Every year, every beauty blogger goes on about candles and I wish I could say I'm any different, but they are just too good. I love putting my candles (here a vanilla cinnamon scented one) in cute glasses like this one from Vienna, so they double as a room decoration.

Woo you've made it till the end. I hope you enjoyed this post, please tell me what I  should write about next. I hope you're having an amazing fall! Sending hugs out to you!

Frieze Art Fair

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted in ages, I've been really ill recently.

Anyways this thursday I went to the Frieze Art Fair in London for my A-level Art, and let me tell ya, it was fricking amazing!

It claims to be the only fair that focuses on contemporary art and living artists and is held in some sort of massive tent in the middle of Regent's Park. Sadly the fair is already over, but if you want to go next year I can highly recommend it. Tickets cost around 25 pounds, but even if you don't pay there are a lot of artworks displayed outside which you can see for free.

If you do decide to pay for the inside, it is definitely worth it. However you will need good footwear and a calm and collected person with you, if you are like me and get lost easily. Moreover do not bring a backpack as for some reason they say you could hit the artwork with it but weirdly handbags are allowed (typical security problems). I made the mistake to bring my backpack and spent the afternoon carrying things like water, camera, maps and so on in my hands. Also I had to store my backpack in the cloakroom and collect it afterwards which took absolutely ages. Not fun. I loved all the artworks tho, it felt as if wherever you looked and walked there were new things to see and by the end I was exhausted by all the impressions. Supercool were the artists that had life action going on, such as weird dancers or people standing around with bags on their hands. There was even some kind of chemist there who made you stick your hands in weird substances :D Anyway enough of the talking, here are some of my favourite pictures.

Also I recently saw the Maze Runner and it was SO AMAZING. I can't even tell you just how good it was. Gonna read the books as soon as possible. And the actor playing Newt (Thomas Sangster) is really attractive :) Have you seen the film yet? Let me know what you think of it!

A DAY IN HYDE PARK

Hello October. Goodbye summer.

It's autumn!!!!  Wearing sweaters, seeing the first christmas adverts, drinking Hot Chocolate, carving pumpkins, Halloween - this and much more is what I love about autumn. However when you live in England, the hot summer weather always lasts into October. Kinda frustrating when all you want to do is cuddle next to a fire with a good book. But even though I can't wait for when it gets colder (never thought I'd say that) I decided it'd be best to enjoy the warm weather as long as it lasts. And what better place to go,when the sun shines, is there than Hyde Park? 

I might have written about Hyde Park before. I'm just in love with it. It is beautiful, especially now where the leaves start to fall of,f the trees and the last rays of sunshine peak through. So if you have a free day and you live near London, definitely pay a visit to Hyde Park.

Look at the light rays - so beautiful

Me pretending to be a proffessional yogi... I fell over one second after this picture was taken.
