The perfect Instagram season is finally here! Autumn always gets me excited, the foliage is beautiful and there are many things that only occur during this time of year. Since today is the first day of Fall, I thought I should share my list of must-haves this season. Without further ado, here are my "fall essentials".
1. Go-To Travel Mug
I don't know about you, but coffee is one of my favorite beverages and it's a great way to keep you warm during this colder weather. Having a travel mug is important so you can keep your drink and even your hands warm on your way to class. Even though coffee mugs aren't considered accessories, it really can make a personal statement. There are multiple types of mugs to choose from, and it can say a lot about you. I have also seen a lot of people on campus decorating their travel mugs with stickers, which is a great way to show your personality! My personal favorite has got to be the Lilly Pulitzer travel mugs. The patterns are all so cute, and really keep your beverage warm! (P.S. Yes! The header of my blog is a Lilly Pulitzer pattern.)
2. A Cute Scarf
Scarves are the number one accessory during this season. You can wear them so many ways, and sometimes they just "tie" the whole outfit together (see what I did there). You can use them as a statement piece and stay warm! There are a few kinds of scarves that I personally love:
3. Durable and Stylish Pair of Boots
Everybody has a pair of shoes that they wear all the time. This fall, make sure you have a pair of high quality boots because it does get cold fast (at least here at State College). Boots keep your feet warm and are very comfortable to walk in. Your boots should be well insulated and versatile for everyday use. My favorite pair of boots are from LL Bean, which is great because they have a life-time guarantee. They are made with "thinsulate" so it is perfect for the fall season. I think they are absolutely adorable and easy to match with every outfit.

4. Very Warm Pair of Socks
To go with your really cute boots, you of course have to have socks that go with it! Lately, a lot of girls have been wearing socks that come up to mid-calf with their Bean Boots and I think it looks absolutely adorable! They keep your feet extra warm, and they add an extra touch of color to your outfit. If you're wearing boots that come up higher than that, like riding boots you can always wear leg warmers to stay extra toasty.
5. Fall-Scented Hand Sanitizer
During any change of season people tend to get sick, especially if the temperature is getting cooler. Having hand sanitizer "handy" at all times is a great way to stay healthy. It kills two birds with one stone, you can stay away from germs and smell like fall! Some of my favorite scents include sweet cinnamon pumpkin, vanilla cream, and suncrisp apple.
6. A Sturdy Umbrella
Here at State College it rains A LOT, especially during the fall season. Having a durable umbrella is very important. You don't want to be that one kid completely drenched coming to class because you just walked in the pouring rain. Plus, getting stuck in the rain is an easy way to get sick. Believe it or not, an umbrella can say a lot about you. The pattern or colors you choose can reflect on your sense of style. Have fun with it and make sure you get an umbrella you really like, you'll be using it quite often! My favorite umbrella that I own is from Vineyard Vines, it is very sturdy and has the cutest patterns on it!
