The Autumn Tag ♥

I got this Tag from my lovely new friend Lottie at lottie-xo.com who is so just so nice and has a lovely blog that is well worth a follow.

If you are reading this,i would like to tag you and invite you do the questions that i will attempt to answer below. Hope you enjoy xx



1. Ok we're talking coffee's - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc?

Now i am not a big coffee drinker but recently a new branch of Insomnia did open up nearby so myself and the lovely BF decided to give it a try. I ordered a cappuccino and a chocolate doughnut to go with it and let me say,it was gorgeous. I am however a big tea drinker but i did enjoy my coffee and doughnut!


 2.  Accessories - what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves?

I do wear gloves occasionally in the autumn and do opt for boots over shoes/heels but the main accessory is tights. Absolute must have to wear in this time of year,preferably 80 denier black which do for work too.I do have a slight arthritis problem this time of year especially and believe me,wearing tights really helps keep the pain at bay.They are an absolute godsend! My favourite Autumn look would be a sweater,dress or skirt,boots,hat and with black tights!



 3.  Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?


The music i listen to during Autumn is mainly from the 80's. There is a radio station here in Dublin called Radio Nova and it plays all old tracks especially 80's all day long. I always have it tuned in in the car and when i go to work,i always make sure that it is on. I especially like any songs by The Bangles,A Flock of Seagulls and any tracks from Asis,Survivor or Boston!

 
4.  Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?

Oh well this one is an easy one for me as i wear Davidoff Cool Water all year round. I recently did a blog post on my fav perfume which if you fancy a read about a review of it,please have a look!



 
5.  Candles - what scents will you be burning this season?

Now i am not a big fan of burning candles at all tbh so this is a difficult question in which the only answer i can give is none.Sorry!

  6.  What do you love most about Autumn?

 Cardigans,coats,lots of layering and trying to be as cosy as possible. I like to be able to put an outfit together that is girly yet cosy (i am a very girly girl tbh). I find this a challenge every Autumn as i like to be colourful with my outfit choices. I also like the leaves on the ground as we live in a very leafy village and from a tv point of view,it is xfactor time again.

 7.  Favourite makeup look?

I always go darker in Autumn but generally stick with my favourite lipstick for example, Lady Danger by Mac. I usually go darker around the eyes too and as for nail polish,i am always trying out new ones with my latest being Sailor 700 by Dior. I love Dior nail polish,it is simply the best with Rouge 999 being my favourite. Until recently,i have been a Rimmel girl but Dior is just too nice.



  8.  What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?

I suppose Halloween as it's a time to have fun and dress up.Over the years,i have mainly worked on Halloween night as i worked in nightclubs for a few years.Now i can dress up myself and go out and enjoy myself as everyone else seemed to do when i was working.It really was the best night out of the whole year and that includes New Years Eve! I am however more of a summer girl from an outfit point of view. I much prefere pretty dresses and short skirts and heels to the layering that goes with Autumn!
I am also excited for christmas,it's such a special time of year and as i will be spending it with the most amazing boyfriend ever,i cant wait! 



So there you go now,my answers to the questions supplied by the lovely Lottie and as i said earlier,if you are reading this,i tag you if you fancy it.It was fun putting this together as i love doing these sort of posts. Thanks again Lottie,so happy we met on Twitter xx

  5. Hi lovely Hollie, how are you? Can't sleep so I thought I should stop by and have a little late night read. Aw I'm not too bothered about candles either. I do have some but I'm not going crazy when Yankee's releases a new scent (I have no smell sense so I can't smell anything anyway).

    Glad to see you've picked a blue shade as your autumn colour. Great choice. Hope to speak to you soon via Twitter or on my blog xxx
