Autumn Tag

I spotted this tag over on one of the regular bloggers I follow and thought I would give it a go after all we are well and truly in the throws of Autumn.

Whats your favourite thing about Autumn
I love the idea of cozy jumpers and curling up in front of the fire with a warm drink and a good book. Maybe thats a vision that only happens inside my head but still... I also love it when the leaves are just falling off the trees and the kid inside me cant help loving when they go all crunchy when you stand on them. 

Favourite Drink
I love a nice warm hot drink. I particularly love hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows - not exactly sliming world friendly but that is what reminds me of Autumn. Also in the lead up to winter I love when Starbucks bring out their special range and am quite partial to a gingerbread latte. I have even found a low syn alternative which if you follow me on instagram you may have seen

Favourite Scent or Candle
Until last year we never really got into burning candles. Up until the last 12 months ago any sign of anything like that which gave a scent off would play havoc with my allergies however last year we picked up the Winter Berry (i think it was called) candle from Sainsburys and we fell in love. We have also been loving candles from Yankee recently and am particularly loving the Salted Caramel one at the moment. We have been buying the Sampler ones which are about £1.80 and burn for about 15 hours and are great if you want to mix the smells up every so often rather than burning the same scent. 

Best Lipstick
Again lipsticks are only something I have got into over the last 12 months but I have been seriously loving both the Bourjois rouge addition - particularly the plummy shade (Shade 18) called Voline Strass . I have also been loving the Rimmel Acropalips and I am sure both of these will be sticking around during the Autumn

Go to Moisturiser 
I am not particularly loyal to any moisturiser brand, I tend to try a lot of different ones but I am really liking the No7 one at the moment for the Day and the Botanics night cream for night time or days when I feel I need a bit of extra moisture. 

Go to colour for eyes? 
I have been wearing a lot of nudes since I got my Naked palette and have been loving the On and on bronze colour tattoo. I have also been loving the pink gold and metallic pomegranate shades and again I am sure these will continue through the autumn. 

Favourite Band or Singer?
I wouldnt say I associate a particular singer or band with the Autumn...

Favourite outfit to wear
There is nothing like a good skirt and thick tight combo and I will definitely be wearing this more this year now I am a bit happier to get my pins out. I also want to get some nice ankle boots this year to team this up with the above. 

Autumn Treat
I think one thing I am defiantly going to be treating myself to this Autumn is a new coat. My Autumn/Winter coat from last year is mileeees too big now and although I do have a shorter coat I really want a nice belted mac for the autumn to team with a scarf and boots and then a longer winter coat! 

Favorite place to be
I am quite a homely person and dont think you can beat being at home curled up in front of the fire watching movies with the family.
