Even though we’re in the middle of August, the fall weather is definitely arriving in Bergen. Darker days, tons of rain and chillier temperatures is replacing summer, and you know what? It’s totally fine, because I’m so ready for fall. It’s been an amazing summer, but now I’m so ready for everything that fall has to offer. It’s all about a positive mind, right? I made a list of ten things I’m excited about with fall, so that these dark and stormy days won’t be too depressing.. 

♥ Fall fashion / Knits

Definitely one of the biggest highlights with fall; The fashion. Chunky knits combined with leather, huge scarfs and a darker color palette.. LOVE! 

♥ New routines

New routines, or maybe for some of you it’s about getting back to the old routines.. Summer is all about relaxing, vacation, adventures and enjoying life, but I actually find myself missing the daily life with my normal routines if I’m on vacation for too long. This fall my routines will be all new, as I suddenly have classes and hours and hours of reading that I have to add on to everything else that I’m doing. Exciting!  

♥ Hot drinks 

Ah, this one I’ve missed so badly! After coming home from a day at the beach drenched in sweat from the sunny weather outside, a cup of hot chocolate isn’t exactly what you’re craving. During fall, however, one of the best everyday-luxury-pleasures I know is coming home after a long day out in the cold, and make a big cup of hot chocolate, tea or Chai Latte. It’s simply the best feeling..

♥ Candles

This summer has been so incredibly hot, so even though I love lighting up the house with candles everywhere, it’s been out of the question because of the heat.  Last night I lit the two first candles in the livingroom since before the summer, and I can’t wait to do it every single night. 

♥ Gorgeous scenery

Fall is hands down the prettiest season. No question about it! Walking out the door is like walking into a painting, and the colors on the trees are just breathtaking. 

♥ Tv-show marathons without feeling guilty

I’m the biggest tv-show-junkie, and I just love cuddling up in the couch under a blanket watching episode after episode, while the rain is pouring down outside. Shows I recommend you check out this fall is Ladies of London, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills + New York, Orange is The New Black (I just finished it and loved it after being sceptical at first), Breaking Bad, Dexter, 24, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Pretty Little Liars.. Hmm, am I forgetting some important ones?  

♥ Beanies

Finally I can wear my favorite accessory again! There’s nothing like a good beanie to cover up a bad hair day while looking chic and casual at the same time.. 

♥ One step closer to Christmas

I absolutely love Christmas, and everything that comes with. I always start buying presents super early to avoid any stress in the cosiest month of all; December. 

♥ Cozy clothes to wear around the house

I’m such a cozy-homewear-junkie (that’s so not a word, I know). I LOVE soft PJs, warm socks, cute slippers and chunky knits, and I always change into something super comfy the second I come home. 

Do you have anything to add to the list?♥
