Thanks, Kiki!! 💓Oh def, fall festivals are so much fun! I have yet to go to one this year, but I really want to! That and going to the pumpkin patch of course!! 🍂🎃
These ideas are all so amazing, especially the soup and cosy clothes! xx
Thanks so much, Chloe!! I’m so glad you liked the list!! 💓Cozy clothes during the fall are a definite must!! At this point, I’m wearing comfy sweaters basically like 90% of the time 😂hehe!! x
Ah yay! You are the first person to mention Twitches that I’ve seen so far!! I was starting to believe I was the only one who loved that film!
This was a lovely list, Nunzia! Hope the fall spririt finds you soon! ♡
Oh my gosh, Hunida!! You are so not the only one–Twitches is one of my fav Halloween movies! 🎃It is so underrated and doesn’t get the love it deserves as a Disney classic lol!
Thanks so much, darling!! 💖I’m getting there, finally! Yesterday, I got a chance to tidy up my apartment a bit after work and finally put up my Halloween lights. It’s feeling a little more like October now! 🍂💛
Hope you’re doing well and enjoying your Friday, hon! x
Yess!! I so agree about Twitches! <3 Lovely to hear the fall spirit has found you!! I hope you're doing well, too!! Have an awesome weekend. <3
These are all brilliant ideas and would make the perfect autumn if you could do them all haha. I love the ‘friendsgiving’ idea and the bonfire! We have a bonfire/firework night every year in the UK and it’s always so fun and festive and cosy. 😊🍁
Aww, thank you so much, Hollie! 💛
That sounds like so much fun!! I love watching fireworks with loved ones, it is definitely super cozy! In the US, there are way more firework shows in the summer usually, but I think a fall fireworks show would be so lovely, especially coupled with a bonfire! How cool!
I actually hosted a “friendsgiving” get together a couple of years ago, and it was so nice. Everyone brought their own dish and I made pasta for everyone. It’s still one of my fav memories! 😊
Thanks for your sweet comment! Hope you’re having a great Friday, dear! x
I love watching the fireworks with my friends and family too, our firework displays are always exactly a week before my birthday so it feels like the start of the celebrations haha.
Aww that’s sounds so much fun! A great way to get everyone involved and try new foods too. 😊 xx
