BLOGTOBER DAY 5 // FALL DECORATIONS

Autumn

I swear there is nothing better than a house chockablock with decorations. At every corner a festive celebration of the season. Don't let me fool you, Christmas decorations are definitely where I get the most intense. But fall decorations, with the golds and burgundy colors everywhere, give me that same warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Pumpkins, leaves, and don't even get me started on halloween decorations! My family does a special "Halloween" tree covered in skeleton baubles, cobwebs, and purple tinsel galore. But those decorations have yet to make their appearance. So for todays Blogtober I figured I had to do a little house tour of Autumnal Decorations. One day I hope to literally make my house like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland for Halloween... A girl can only dream!

DRESSING FOR THE SEASON //

Aerie

As I was sitting down to write this post my initial intention was to make it as Fall as possible. The funny thing about this season is that I had never really experienced a true Autumn until I moved to New York. No surprise here but... it quickly became my favorite season. 
The humidity in New York would finally leave and in its place came a chilling air. The leaves in and around the city would become absolutely breathtaking. Don't get me wrong, Spring (after a long and freezing winter) is just as beautiful but it was Fall that stole the scene. 
Now that I'm back in Los Angeles I am aching for a taste of real Fall. The weather here is a roller coaster that stays somewhere between 80 and 90 (27 to 32 Celsius) and it just really kills the mood. Wearing shorts half-way through October isn't exactly my ideal situation. 
What usually happens, at least here in Southern California, is that people dress for the season and not the weather. It can be 85 degrees without a cloud in the sky and you can bet that there will be a woman with a turtleneck sweater drinking a hot pumpkin spice latte. It's quite hilarious I can't lie but you know what... I am culprit of this as well. So I am going to humor myself here and post some of my current favorite looks for Autumn that won't be too ridiculous to be wearing walking around the beach or in the stifling hot city.
