Hey guys! By the title, you'll already know this is a collab and it's with the lovely Erin from itseverythingerin.blogspot.co.uk; her blog is amazing and I'm sure you'd love it as much as I do- you should definitely check her out! We decided to do a post about our favourite Autumn things to match the cooling weather and all the jazz that comes along with it! What are your favourite things about Autumn? Let me know in the comments below...

A Fresh Start
As another year of school begins, we all get a fresh start and I don't think this fresh start is limited to your academic ability, I think you can always improve yourself as a person, as a blogger etc... I've found myself trying to be a lot more positive and productive lately and it really is working! Why make New Year's Resolutions when you can do something now?
The Sound Of Crunching Leaves
There's no sound as satisfying as stepping on the fallen leaves- please tell me I'm not the only one!
Candles, Warm Baths & Hot Chocolate
While I suppose these should be 3 separate points, I think they tie in very nicely together! Personally, I know that I don't take enough time out for myself and sometimes, would class myself as a workaholic. There's nothing wrong with being productive, of course, but you need to take time out to yourself and let yourself wind down and relax. I love doing this by taking a bath, making myself a hot chocolate, reading, maybe even light the odd candle in the background! I don't know if it's just me, but I never crave these times in the summer as much as I do in the autumn and winter...
The Fashion
Don't get me wrong, I love summer: the long nights, the temperatures, the sea, the holidays, the month long break... However, I would rather wear a coat, turtleneck and jeans over shorts and a tank top any day!
Vampy Lips, Golden Eyes & The Whole Shebang
L to R: MAC Verve, Studded Kiss & Essence Number 21
Makeup has always been a passion of mine, just ask the seven year old Gabija who never left the house without her sparkly lipgloss or bright blue eyeshadow! Autumn is a great season for makeup; not only is it easier to get away with a dark, vampy lip- but it also marks the return of the gold and bronze smokey eyes!
My current favourite products have been my...
Naked One Palette, this is such a versatile palette and has the perfect warm toned shades for the Autumn/Winter season!
MAC Studio Fix Fluid, I find that in the Autumn, I have a lot more redness on my skin and it looks a lot more dull and this foundation is the perfect quick-fix! While it is on the expensive side, at £22.00, it's super full coverage and instantly covers everything you want it to without the infamous cake-face.
NYX Lip Lingeries in Push Up, I won't babble on too much about this because my last post was a review of these- but they're just all round amazing!

Let's ignore my quite dirty Naked palette that is literally the hardest thing to clean!
Fireworks
Fireworks are so incredibly pretty and intriguing! Now... I don't know if it's just me here, but I think you really can't beat the buzzing, lively atmosphere at a firework display whilst an array of colours are shooting up at the sky!
