My Top 5 Favorite Fall Movies

 If you have been following along for a while now, you have probably gathered that fall is my most favorite season of the year. I know people like to say that everything good happens in the summer, but I am going to go against the grain and disagree with that statement… I feel like everything good happens in the fall. There is just something in the air that signals change of only good things to come. 

I love autumn nights when the air takes on a crisp chill, the rain is gently pinging against the window, and the leaves are rustling in the wind, and you are left with no other choice but to light a fire, pop some popcorn, and watch one of your favorite fall movies.  

One// You’ve Got Mail

Meg Ryan is like the queen of autumn movies/90s romcoms. Honestly, I am so loving the 90s aesthetic that is currently trying to be revived. To be fair, this will always be my most favorite movie, regardless of the season. I saw this movie for the first time when I was in the sixth grade and have been in love with it ever since.

Two// When Harry Met Salley 

Believe it or not, up until about three years ago I had never seen this movie. It is such a classic and almost criminal that I waited so long to watch it, but it completely lived up to the hype. If you are a hopeless romantic or in a period of your life where you are holding out for a love you deserve, then this movie is most definitely for you. Plus, the fall fashion in this film is so iconic.

Three// Practical Magic

I love how movies that were made twenty plus years ago are now randomly having very delayed sequels made. I saw the other day that a sequel to Practical Magic is being made, and all I can say is, please, let this be true! This movie is just like a 90s fall mood bottled in the form of a film. Love the storyline, plus, has Sandra Bullock ever been in a movie that isn’t completely excellent…

Four// Hocus Pocus

Is it just me, or did Disney make some pretty scarry movies for children… Confession, some parts of this movie still scare me a little… I still love this movie and could not imagine going a fall season without watching it at least three times. 

Five// Sleepless in Seattle 

Obviously had to end this round-up with one more iconic Meg Ryan movie. I feel like there are so many parts of this movie that are so relatable, and I love her hair and some of the clothes she still wears in this movie. Some of the coats from the 90s were just so on point and so timeless… I would 100% wear the outfit Meg Ryan wore in the closing scene of this movie, hair and everything.

Weekend Shopping

 Fall is in the air and on every shelf and website out there. The last four months of the year (aka the ‘BER’ months) are my absolute favorite. I love the everything about this time of year, even the way the air smells. Fall fashion is completely on point this year. I love all the suedes and plaids 

One// Dolce Vita Alizza Ballet Flats in Suede

Any style of ballet flats is always a fall obsession of mine. I love how timeless they are and they go with everything so seamlessly. The suede material on this particular pair and the detailed buckle feature makes my fall heart swooning

Two// Zoe Gigi High Rise Skinny Flare

I really love that we are living in a time and age where any style of jeans really goes. I have lived through the low-rise flare jeans era, the straight jean era, and the skinny jeans era. Being a millennial, I have the predictable preference for skinny jeans, but lately my eyes has been going towards the barrel and flare jeans… Really thing this pair would look so cute with a pair of sandals for early fall

Three// La Ligne Marin Sweater

The other night with I was watching ‘With Love, Meghan’, and Meghan Markle was wearing this EXACT sweater and it looked so good in the effortlessly classic way

Four// Gray Bag in Smooth Chocolate

I have seen this bag shape and I really love it for something different. I saw this bag in person last week and really love the rich brown color and the price point is really reasonably for the quality

Five// Sezane Othello Cardigan

Sezane cardigans are an obsession of mine. I just love all of the colors and styles they offer and they are just such a wardrobe staple.

Six// Khaki Feliana Dress

I really love how long dresses and skirts are in for the fall season. It always makes for such a seamless look when paired with some points and a few simple fall accessories. Really love the details on the bottom of this dress

Seven// Mock-Neck Cable-Knit Long Swing Sweater

This would be such a great fall piece to pair with jeans, leggings, or skirts. Really love how flatter swing sweaters can be

Eight// Chloe Signature Le Parfum

Confession, the deep red ribbon that tied around the top of this bottle is what first drew my eye… and it smells completely wonderful

Nine// YSL Supple Large Shoulder Bag in Suede

I actually looked at this bag in person over the weekend and it made my heart skip a beat… It comes in a large size and a smaller bag. I honestly liked the smaller size better, but the large size would make for such a great everyday fall bag

Ten// DryBar Big Brew Thickening & Lifting Shampoo

Honest opinion: I don’t think there is such a thing as hair that is too thick, so really view this as a shampoo for everyone. I used this for the first time over the weekend and LOVE it! Smells wonderful and I think it does work!

Eleven// KJP Deerfield Creek Plaid Skirt 

I always love the plaid prints that KJP comes out with each fall. This skirt is the perfect plaid, length, and I really like the bow tie. So cute paired with a sweater or button-up

Twelve// Ballstar Suede Glitter Low-Top Sneakers

I love Golden Goose Sneakers. They are definitely an investment piece, but they hold up so well; I acquired my first pair five years ago when I was working with ShopBop and I still have them, wear them, and they look just like new. Really love this color for the fall!

Thirteen// Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Face Mask

I have been investigating red light therapy and anti-wrinkle masks… I haven’t pulled the trigger yet… I was investigating this one over the weekend, and so far it is a front runner

Fourteen//Gucci Lipstick

This is one of my favorite lipsticks. The packaging is so beautiful, and the quality of this lipstick is just everything.

Fifteen// Trick-or-Treat Popcorn Bowl

I love fall, but honestly, I’m not a big Halloween person… this popcorn bowl is so festive and so cut, and I really like how the bistro tile style kind of dresses it up a bit

Sixteen// Double-Breasted Trench Coat

I am such a sucker for outerwear. /this plaid trench coat is so perfect and festive for fun. Honestly think this is a trench that would last someone for years to come

Seventeen// Driftwood & Chamomile Classic Candle

A room without flowers, candles, books, and pictures, is a room without a soul, imho. If any of your rooms is in need of a refresh, this is a really great start.

Eighteen// Peter Thomas Roth Instant Eye 

I haven’t tried this yet but have heard this product is a miracle worker. Apparently it is a temporary effect and the effect goes away when you take it off at the end of the day… but if you need to look more rested it hides the dark circles and lifts your eyes.
