Preparing for Fall 🍂🤎 fall shopping, baking, decorating for fall, ＊HUGE＊ fall haul & cozy vibes

If apple juice were an energy drink, this would be it. This is so good. Hello guys, welcome to a new vlog. This one has been the one that I have been waiting for all year long. I am so excited. It is my favorite time of year and today we are celebrating fall. We are doing all the fall things today. Fall baking, shopping. I'm gonna make a pumpkin chai latte at home which I make every single year. It honestly tastes way better than the coffee shop ones in my personal opinion. I also have so much to haul for you guys. I got a lot of fall decor online and then also whatever I end up getting today in the store. So I definitely want to share everything that I got and decorate for fall. For me personally, fall starts now. August 1st means fall. Getting in the fall vibes, getting in the fall mood. And I honestly have so much to do after this vlog for my shop. I have a lot of fall shop prep to do and sculpting to do. This is the perfect time to get my fall shopping and all of my fall prep personally done so we can get into fall shop content which I am so excited about. So I want to go to a few stores. I want to go to Target, Anthropologie. TJ Maxx Marshalls is a bit out of my way. I live close to New York City and so some of those bigger stores are unfortunately not accessible for me which is so sad. But I'm doing the best I can with what I have. Look how cute my tote bag is. Let's pack it together. Okay I'm pretty much... Okay I'm pretty much ready to go. Got my book for the subway ride and to get me occupado on the travels to these stores. We're gonna do some fall shopping and then when I get back I'm gonna haul everything for you guys. I also forgot I need to stop by the grocery store too to get some supplies to make carrot cake. That is one of my favorite things to make in the fall time next to like anything pumpkin spice. There's this really easy homemade recipe. We're gonna bake that together so I need to get the supplies for that. I'm home and things are sporadically spread on my bed. Should be illegal. It's just that good. This is definitely like a treat. Bought this skinny version of the Tazo chai tea latte that I use to make this. Literally half the calories. That with like a lot less of all of the additives it could actually be something to drink every day. But the way I made it today, once in a blue moon. Very sweet treat type of chai latte but we deserved it today for sure. I have still not hauled anything yet. This is the perfect time. Finally haul everything. Let's do a haul of all of the fall stuff that I got. Okay a lot of this stuff I did order like for the past couple weeks and then I'm going to show you guys everything that I got from the stores today. So I got my Uggs. Every year I wait too long to get Uggs and they're always sold out. Like literally every single pair is sold out come September and so I was like I'm finally finally getting my Uggs. I've been eyeing the Ugg Ultra Minis because they like they come up on the angle a little bit but they're also not too high. I'm a short girl so smaller boots don't cut off my legs as much and I don't have much leg okay. So this is a color sand. Very neutral washed out. I personally love that. I think it just matches well with things that I own and very neutral. It was between this and the chestnut color but I went with the more size six. Fit perfectly. Amazing and I'm really happy. The other store I was super excited about was American Eagle. I feel like every year they have a really cute fall collection. I think they usually do Snoopy or something which they are doing again this year but I'm so happy they expanded to more than just Snoopy. So I was really excited to see some fun bears and characters. So of course pair of socks. Literally we have pumpkin bears and then bear with a witch hat. I am so excited. These are so cute. Like how cute. Oh my gosh yes. I can't wait to wear it like that and then I also I caved. I wasn't going to get these but I could not. I had to do it. I kept seeing it on my for you page and it's a pumpkin bear which also I am releasing a pumpkin bear polymer clay charm in my fall collection for my shop soon. Why am I out of breath? I'm getting my phone. Back to the haul. I knew I wanted the tote bag. I was going to get that. This I was impulsed by. I saw this and I was like are you kidding me? A plush bow charm on that tote bag is going to be so cute along with like along with my charms for my small business. Oh my god I can't wait to make like a cute little like keychain situation on that bag. It's so fall. Last thing I got from American Eagle was a Yankees hat. They had a brown one and you guys know you guys know I think it's pretty obvious brown is my favorite color. Josh and I are actually going to a Yankees game or my first ever Yankees game. Very excited even though I heard baseball is pretty slow but I'm just there for the vibes. I like wearing merch when I go to games. Anthropology very small haul. I got my I got my annual cinnamon buns um body wash which I actually usually get this on Amazon but I just saw it there and I was like okay bet I'm gonna just grab it because I knew I was going to want it. Vanilla girl cinnamon girl like it literally smells like cinnamon buns. It truly it truly does. So good. This is not really fall. Are you kidding me? I saw this and I was like this was meant for me and I feel like every time I use this I'm gonna think of like this vlog and this day. When you see something at the store that is just so you and you're just like oh my god no. That was this for me. It literally is a mug and it says eat bread and the letters are kind of like sporadic which I love and there's of course bread illustrations. We've got let's do target now. Okay so I did get the pumpkin spice um Chobani creamer thing. It's in the fridge but I did get that. It literally released like a couple weeks ago or something. It is August like first week and why was it like sold out? There were like four bottles left. That's what I'm talking about when I say I don't love living in New York. That is one of my biggest pet peeves about living here is like good luck finding stuff in stores. I also got the um chai tea latte. This is what they use to make the pumpkin chai lattes like coffee shops. Very popular. I actually got the regular one but then I also was like let me try the skinny one because this is half the calories and then I got a few body things. We got native sugar cookie classic scent that I love every single year along with tree hut cinnamon dolce body scrub. I love tree hut body scrubs. I yes they're not like the highest of high quality but for the price you pay they're great for what they are and then I also got the vanilla one just because I ran out of it and she is a staple. Basic all the time I love having in my collection. That was it from target. This is quite random but I did get the viral teddy bear mug. This is from Marshall's. I actually bought it online through like a seller on Mercari I think is the website because I knew it was not going to be available. Are you kidding me? Everything is sold out in New York City. So I was like I'll just buy it online. So I'm so obsessed with it. This is so cute. It is huge. I think you can tell how big it is huge like so big two of my like coffee drinks could fit in this like it's so so big bath and body works really quick. I just got room sprays from them. I typically don't love buying stuff on bath and body works because of their supplies and materials they use but I did kind of eye these for a while. I was really intrigued by getting a room spray and I kind of regret it though. I sprayed it for the first time today guys. This is so strong and it gave me a headache which is sad because they smell really really good but I did one spritz. I did not OD it and it gave me a headache and that's my problem with bath and body works and that's honestly one of the biggest reasons that inspired me to start making candles for my small business is because a lot of these manufactured candles they have so many chemicals in it and they literally make you nauseous and headaches. This is what is sweet cinnamon pumpkin and then we have whipped honey vanilla. They are just scrumptious but yeah a bit nauseating and then Amazon. I did of course damage on Amazon. There's actually more than what I have here. I think it's in my storefront if I did forget anything because I bought stuff like a couple weeks ago too and it's just there but recently I got a laptop case because I like changing my laptop case for like fall. I actually might keep this all year round. I think it's just a lot more me. It's literally a leopard cheetah print. Right now I have a floral one on and it's so cute and it's really high quality. It's from Casetify but I really wanted something more cozy and fall like little touches like that like changing my laptop case really do add a lot to like my desk or like my home and make everything a lot more cohesive. So I'm excited to change that with you guys. As I make candles for my small business it would literally have to be something so unique for me to buy another candle. Always wanted a homesick candle. I just love the packaging. So simple and basic like yes I could have made this at home but I just wanted to support this business. I believe they're a small business. I'm going to correct myself on the screen if they're not but I'm pretty sure they are. I got some vases dried I don't know like flower thingies separately. They came in a separate pack and then I got these vases like so the vases came they're kind of messy though. With these two and then this really cute tiny beige one and I love the size of them. They're not too big. I've wanted these for so long because they're so neutral and pretty and I think it's just going to elevate everything and make it look a lot more cozy too. Oh fizzle. Carrot cake is in the oven. Clearly met store-bought icing because I love this and it's so much easier than making my own icing because I am not claiming to be a baker on this channel ever. I just it's a hobby. I get inspired by baking for my polymer clay charms and stuff which I actually think I'm gonna do a polymer clay carrot cake magnet. I want to do like a pie collection of magnets. I think that's super fall. Sometimes I'll share ideas and then I'll get people super excited in the comments and I think that's the sweetest but then if I don't end up going through with it I feel really really bad. It's not set in stone yet. I also feel so bad. My cat is very food motivated. He loves the things he can't have. Is this not the cutest little thing? This is literally a ceramic pumpkin like canister thing. It is linked in my Amazon store front under like my fall must-haves folder. You guys need to check that out. I just updated it with like a ton of fall stuff. So yeah and it's so cute. Perfect for like little sweet treats or like anything. Let's try. I have not tried it yet together. No that's good. I got these really cute pumpkin lantern lights and I want to put them on my bed frame. They are so adorable and then I just put the batteries in. Erm how do I turn it on? I forgot how to turn it on. Hey look how pretty and there's a few different settings that I have yet to figure out. I love it. I think that's like my favorite purchase so far. It's so cute there and then with the baguette jelly cat. I always look really bold if I don't take some front pieces out. I look like an egg. Let's put up some fall decor. I have been dying to put my case on so I first wanted to switch off my laptop place. That should be really quick. And then I also have a couple frames. This is actually the frame that I have all year round. I feel like it's super fall. I usually have it on my nightstand but I think I'm gonna put it together with this frame. I think it could be nice. Is this upside down? It's upside down. This is definitely a Halloween fall frame. I'm obsessed. I have to show you guys the other one that I got but this is basically a boo bakery. Like there's ghosts and a cute little bakery illustration. I was browsing on Pinterest like fall decor. That's actually where I like to find a lot of like products and inspiration but Pinterest now you can literally like shop on there. It's so cool and it's like your aesthetic which is even cooler. So I found this on Pinterest and it was actually from Society6. We'll link it down below. I just love the art. It's so cozy. So I'm gonna put this one up. I think I'm just gonna replace that one, that frame that I have. That one's not really that fall. It's definitely more springy so I'm gonna replace that and find a place for my cozy frame. Thinking like right under it, I could put my like let's get cozy frame. Maybe like Diana could be cute. What do we think? I don't think I've ever really addressed this. I used to have like books here. The books kept falling which was so annoying. It's like so so frustrating. It would just fall. That was like for the best because I made this super cute collage. One night when Josh was playing video games, I was doing my grandma hobby and I made a collage of really fun pictures of Josh and I and our little baby cat Ash. Put that all together. So I'm making pictures and now we get to look at this every day when we get ready and it's so so nice. It just matches like so much more with my desk decor. This is what we are working with. These are all of the faux leaves and flowers and decorum that we have. I think I want to definitely mix them up and disperse them nicely and then just I guess like randomly put them in each jar and I'll see which one fits best on my desk and the other two I might just put somewhere else in the apartment. I'm so happy to be sitting here with my touches of fall decor. Even if all you can do are just like little tiny things of fall decor like on your desk or like your nightstand or your desk at work or something. I feel like it just does the absolute most. We don't have to transform our entire house. I know sometimes social media and TikTok can really make you feel like oh my god I have to buy the entire Marshalls stock in order to enjoy fall or like yeah it just can sometimes suck you in. I'm so attached to the things that I do own that are fall and aesthetic and it makes me just so so happy. So super excited to have started this early. I feel like I forgot to say this but I know it is so early in August but I do not care. I know that it's not fall. I am it's fall for me. Okay it's fall for me. Um yeah just because it's not fall does not mean you can't enjoy the fall things. I think that do what you want. You have free will and this is mine. This is what I do with my free will. I hope you guys enjoyed this fall vlog. Spending a fall day together and doing all of the things. This is just one of many fall vlogs to come. I'm excited to do more fall small business vlogs. I'm going to work on my fall collection with you guys and when fall actually hits too. I really want to take like a solo trip to a town and have like a cute fall day together. I think that would be so fun. I think that would be so nice to do in like October. I forgot to show you guys my nails. I started my fall nail grind. These are literally an inexpensive set on Amazon. I do press on nails at home. That lasts for so long. I love it so much. I have that linked in my, I think it's in my Amazon storefront, but yeah. And so I love them. I think it's just like so pretty and love the transition. I don't know what else to say anymore. See you guys in a new video. Bye guys.
