You know the season is changing when you trade in your iced Americana for a steaming hot PSL. I love when the air gets cooler and the leaves start turning and I can go full force into "basic white girl" mode! Unfortunately, if you live in the south your state is probably acting like an angst-y teen who just can't make up its mind about the weather and you've been forced to conceal your inner basic girl tendencies for the majority of this season.

Here in Arkansas, we have nippy mornings and evenings and uncomfortably warm mid-days, but that doesn't mean fall isn't upon us. Regardless of the ever-changing weather, that's still just a little too warm, time has literally fallen back and we've gained that extra hour of darkness - which means winter will be here before we know it. That's right, winter will officially begin on December 22nd (ugh), but don't freak out yet, there's still some time left to enjoy all the fall things us basics love so much.

So, grab a hot coffee, throw on your favorite fuzzy socks and get out there and enjoy all the great things the fall season brings while it's still here! Here is a roundup of all the things you need to be soaking up before you exchange all things pumpkin for peppermint and your cardigans for fuzzy coats:

1. Fall Scented Candles

Hey, it's fall, y'all! So get out there and do all the fall things while you still can! All too soon we will lose our beautiful crisp weather, gorgeous falling leaves, and the excuse to post tons of seasonal pics on Instagram. So, what are you waiting for? Drag your boyfriend to a pumpkin patch and force him to take a million candid pictures of you, cuddle up on the couch with some wine and a thriller, watch some football, and play in the leaves before all of these things are gone!

Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy the winter season, too. But, nothing beats all the things that go along with the fall season! What's your favorite fall activity?
