8 Reasons We Can’t Wait For Fall

by Ashley Tibbits

Perhaps it’s because we live in Southern California, where the temperature seldom dips below the 70 degree mark, we tend to romanticize practically everything about fall: pumpkin carving, cider sipping and cozying up in clothes we seldom get to bust out of our closets. As we sit inside with fans blasting on the backs of our necks, polishing off a tub of dairy-free ice cream (that makes it more acceptable, no?), let us count the reasons why we’re looking forward to the change of season. Below, find the things we’re looking most forward to once summer’s officially over and those first leaves begin to fall. Yes, pumpkin spice lattes are involved, and no, we don’t care if you judge us.

8 Reasons We Can't Wait For Fall

Sweater Weather

It's simple math: colder weather means getting to wear more of our favorite clothes, including cozy sweaters, dressy coats, and thigh-high boots in lush materials like cashmere, leather, and suede. That's likely why layering up is a favorite of fashion girls everywhere.

Pumpkin-Flavored Everything

We'll take all the pies, muffins, lattes and whatever other pumpkin-y, cinnamon-y stuff you've got.

Taking Baths Again

We're looking forward to switching off the AC and soaking in a tub full of our favorite skin-pampering bath salts, bubbles and other accoutrements.

Going To A Pumpkin Patch

There's something totally nostalgic about getting to visit a local patch to grab a few pumpkins for carving and decorating. Bonus if it offers hayrides and hot cider.

Baking Goodies

The season just calls for more sweet treats baking in the oven. Bring on the cookies, scones and cinnamon rolls, please!

Planning Our Halloween Costumes

We look forward to dressing up for Halloween all year but once fall hits, it's crunch time to get our looks together. Will we be going for cute, funny, sassy or evil this year?

Fuzzy Slippers

They're comfy, they're cozy, they're warm. You don't need any other excuses.

Vampy Lip And Nail Colors

Sure you can wear this shade all year round if you like, but something about fall weather just makes it feel so right.
