Fall, I Love You. Kind Of.

You know how everyone and their mother likes to claim that they're indie or hipster or whatever these days? Or sometimes, they don't claim it - they just make it very clear to the world by listening to their Mumford & Sons in combat boots and fringe shirts, pretending not to give two cares about anything?

Well. That's not me. I'm as mainstream as it gets. Like, I'm right now at Starbucks drinking an extra hot grande dirty soy chai latte, no water please. I'm wearing Lululemon head to toe, scrolling through my Instagram feed while judging everyone else around me scrolling through their Instagram feeds, thinking about how they should really try and "unplug"/"disconnect" now and then or our generation is doomed.

I'm mainstream. And I'm especially blogger mainstream. As in, I love all the cliches. I have the bubble necklace. I just bought a single mason jar with a few mustache straws [so. precious!]. I like chevron, glitter, and J.Crew. So naturally, I love fall. It's my favorite season. ...Until I question it all.

The best things about autumn, a list:

1. // FALL-SCENTED CANDLES ... Until they burn your suitemate's hair.
{... she didn't even see it coming.}

2. // SNICKERDOODLES FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN SO SOFT THEY ARE PRACTICALLY STILL DOUGH ... Until your stomach starts to hurt from eating one too many.
3. // CUTE FALL CLOTHES ... Until you realize you'd actually much rather just stick with this:
4. // TORY BURCH SHOES ... Until your calves get too fat for the boots, and the flats kill you, one blister at a time.
5. // PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES ... Until everyone in the suite starts fighting for the ONE bathroom for the PCP [post coffee poop... TMI, sorry bout it]. And you're paying ~$5 for this crap. (Literally.)

6. // BORROWING A BOY'S SWEATSHIRT FOREVER ... Until it just reminds you that you don't have a boyfriend to snuggle with.

7. // BRISK WALKS OR A CRISP BREEZE THROUGH THE WINDOW WHILE YOU'RE STUDYING ... Until you realize you're studying.
8. // COLLEGE FOOTBALL ... Until you lose to an un-ranked Utah. As a #4 team.
9.  // FALL TV ... Until... Hahahahahaha, just kidding, fall TV will never not be the best.

10. // THE ANTICIPATION OF HOLIDAY SEASON ... Until Starbucks gives you a "short" holiday cup, instead of a "tall." Thanks. Thanks for that, buds.
But rest assured, dear Autumn, you're always going to be my favorite. Even if you play hard to get sometimes.

  4. Yes fall is my favorite season too.There is just something about it. I think if they ever did a survey of the most favorite season fall would probably win. I think it would even beat out summer. Not sure why there is definitely something about it. Maybe it is a childhood thing, since fall is the beginning of the 3 main holidays Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas/ hanukkah

  6. hahaha, oh, your description of owning your mainstream-ness cracked me up. I don't think I'm particularly mainstream. I mean, I have drank 1 cup of coffee in my life and only because a guy made it for me and I didn't want to be mean to him. :P But I'm definitely not hipster either!
    My main problem with fall is it being dark all the time...and cold all the time.

  10. Isn't it always autumn in the valley somehow ? I hated that I never knew how todress in SF... I remember one day I went out with a sulmer dress and had to take a taxi back to not turn into an icecube after 6pm. =P

  14. Loved this post!

    Those boots are gorgeous, perfect for your time over here :)

    And hey, why can't people be mainstream? I don't get why people have such a problem with it if you're happy with it1

    Hmm maybe...

  15. Bahahahahah!!!!! YES!!! The fall tv part (so true…when is it not the best) And I have to agree…I do love my Tory Burches…until they give you a mad blister after you've worn them for a super long time.

  17. Hilarious! At first, I thought, "Oh, great, this is going to be another of those typical blogger-girl posts about how 'amaaaaazzzzing' pumpkin spice is" (can you tell I don't like pumpkin) but you proved me wrong! I love your sarcasm and humor. Get it, girl!
