#CozyGirlFall Bucket List

I was going to use a Taylor Swift quote (you know the quote), but I used it already on my August reading round-up, so go catch it there.

Summer came and went and now we are in September, just around the corner from #cozygirlfall. Fall is my absolute favorite season, and not just because of PSLs and everything else pumpkin. Like, I love fall. Sweater weather, leaves falling on the ground, watching shows like Gilmore Girls and You’ve Got Mail, and curling up on the couch with a good book are just all things that I am looking forward to—although, I’ve already started watching Gilmore Girls and I binged You’ve Got Mail already.

This is my official #cozygirlfall bucket list with things I’m looking to buy this fall, including clothes, books, home decor, and candles.

Make my own fall drink.

It’s PSL season and normally, I am not a pumpkin spice latte type of gal. I’ll order the pumpkin cream cold brew and be happy; but lately, I’ve been in the MOOD for a pumpkin spice latte. However, those drinks can add up. Sorry Starbucks, but I can’t pay for a fall drink every day of the season. I’d like to make my own fall drinks at home this fall season in whatever form that looks like.

Have a spooky movie marathon.

I am not a scary movie type of gal. You will not find me watching horror or scary movies this October, but I definitely want to try watching more old-school spooky movies. The Adams Family, Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc. We’ll see if I stick to this one, LOL. 😂

Grow my reading list.

Um, this is obvious, but I’d like to grow my reading list to include more thrillers and spooky books! I visited my local library to pick up some new reads, one of them including You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen (the authors of The Wife Between Us).

Some other books include They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman, One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, and A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas. And of course, I can’t ignore the romance new releases and classics that have been on my TBR forever: Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hilbert, The Idea of You by Robinne Lee, and of course, To Sir Philip, With Love by Julia Quinn (Book #5 in Bridgerton series).

Also, I’ve been listening to more audiobooks (starting with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Undercover Bromance, and A Lot Like Adios), so I want to start listening to audiobooks and going on long walks in the crisp fall air!

Visit a pumpkin patch.

I just love pumpkins 🎃 (I even dressed up as one when I was a mere two-year-old), so a pumpkin patch is a must!

Visit local wineries.

I mean, fall season = winery season? 🍂 Can we make that a thing? Sure, the summer is for visiting wineries as well, but I find the summer to be too hot. That’s why a crisp, fall air is the perfect atmosphere for a winery.

Create a fall capsule wardrobe.

I’ve never formally created a capsule wardrobe, but I do have my essentials that I wear on repeat. I love The Everygirl’s capsule wardrobes and the Fall 2021 Capsule Wardrobe is no different.

Those are just a few things off of my #cozygirlfall bucket list! I’m probably going to continue adding to this list but for real time updates (lol), follow my #cozygirlfall Pinterest board for some fall inspiration.
