As the leaves turn, sort of?

In honor of the first day of fall, I wanted to share all of the things I love about my favorite time of the year. The fall candle aromas, darker nail polish selections, fashion and d'cor are some of the best things about the end of summer and beginning of fall. 

Fall Candles- I have a tremendous obsession with candles. I have sampled all brands and types, but I swear by Bath and Bodyworks candles. They smell so good! I usually pick them up when they're on sale, 2 for $20 3-wick candles. Their candles are on sale till midnight tonight 9/23! 

To better assist you in making your selections, here are my scent picks for fall, along with season appropriate candle sleeves to accessorize them with! 

Nail Polish- Summer is officially over and the time has come to say goodbye to those bright summer polishes. I am especially excited to start using Essie's fall 2012 collection on my nails!

Fashion- Put away your wedges and straw totes. Fall definitely calls for a change in wardrobe. My favorite trends for fall are the colors teal or wine, and anything with a snakeskin or leopard print. I am also really into this season's booties & pointed shoes!

Fall D'cor- Since the weather does not match the season here in Miami, decorating your home will really make you feel as if fall has arrived. This year, I am hoping to show you all some DIY holiday projects and recipes. Just the thought of all of this makes my heart so giddy!
