Livin' Like Aileen ♡

A lot of people pass by our dorm so it's always nice to spread the Fall spirit.

Here are some fun-spooky-nature-family-fun DIYs!

NOW FOR THE DIYS!

______________________________________

Autumn Jars! I just grabbed some fake Fall-colored leaves & placed them into some clear jars. It is simple & is great for putting supplies on your desk.

Signs of Fall! My mom got this at Walmart. I hung it outside my dorm door. It only took me about five minutes! I just drew some leaves with chalk & now I have a decorative sign on my door!

Fall Leaf Tree! I came up with this idea while trying to figure out what to do with some extra fake leaves. I grabbed a branch & taped it along the stand of the lamp. I also placed some leaves through the holes in the top of the lamp to make the "tree" look more full.

Popsicle Stick Characters! I saw a similar idea online where they made the Scarecrow a magnet. I changed it up & made a Frankenstein & Ghost so that they could be hanged on twine.

I got some regular acrylic paint, scissors, & googly eyes.
I used twine & the Halloween pins to allow them to be hanged.

Fall Wreaths + Decorative Pine Cones! I grabbed these at Walmart one day. Pumpkins were only about $3-5. Popsicle sticks and googly eyes were about $1. And I also got some Autumn-designed mesh.

I used foam poster board to cut out a circle & I wrapped mesh around it!
Painting Pine Cones! I grabbed some pine cones in my front yard. (I recommend cleaning them) My sister and I painted them with of course paint, glitter and metallic spray paint!
I spray painted some tiny acorns, pot-stickers & glued some nuts to my wreath. I put this one on the inside of our dorm door.

This is the front door of my family's house. My mom actually made this wreath (she was inspired by Pinterest). I just love all the different colors & items.

Spooky Decor! I got decorative clothespins. They are orange with black polka dots (Halloween-y:O booooo!). My mom had some extra twine. I grabbed extra pics & hung them up on our dorm window!

I also got some pine cones from my house & brought them to our dorm for decoration!

Hand Print Turkey w/Stickers! I had so many different ideas for decorating pumpkins. From Washi tape to glitter, decorating pumpkins is one of the most fun things to do in Fall. I carved pumpkins last year & it was a lot of work to preserve and carve the pumpkins. So I thought what would be something super simple and easy to make that also shows the festive spirit?

And so I decided to make a hand print turkey! I added some cute stickers & I'm done!

All you need is a few colors and a paint brush & you're set!

My family has a cabinet filled with tons of extra art supplies & I found these random holiday stickers! I put some on my desk & I think it's fun to look down and see the cute stickers.

P.S. Also,

We got pumpkin-smelling wax! It makes our whole room smell like Thanksgiving!

Look at these huge pine cones!

The two on the right are from a trip we took last year & they are huge! The far left pine cone is a normal sized pine cone I found in my front yard. I place a couple of the huge pine cones on my desk for decoration.

Hope you liked these Fall DIYs!

Music, Food, & City Appreciation

By Unknown

We went to the top of the hotel to view the Houston skyline. It was the perfect timing because the sun was starting...

This is my first tag! (Yay!) I'm sooo ready for Sweater Weather!

(This is my dad's sweater that I sort of borrowed-for-forever. It's huge & perfect:))

1. Favorite Candle Scent?

I love vanilla & pumpkin smelling scents! I actually bought pumpkin smelling wax a few days ago to make our room smell like pumpkin-yummy-deliciousness.

2. Coffee, Tea or Hot Chocolate?

Chai Tea in the mornings & Hot Chocolate (preferably at night while snuggled up in blankets while watching TV)

3. Do You Switch Your Makeup Routine For the Season?

I don't really wear much makeup. I usually keep it simple with some BB cream mixed w/sunscreen and a little bit of powder. Chapstick will be a must for the cold weather!

4. Hats or Scarves?

Beanies & scarves! Knit scarves are the best!

5. Most Worn Sweater?

My dad's XXL knit sweater! (the pic above) I think he got it when he was actually in college from Gap. So it's like really really really old. It envelopes my whole body and its so snugly. (It's like a dress on me & I love it!)

6. Must Have Fall Nail Polish?

I haven't bought many new nail polishes in a while. But great all-around colors for me would have to be white & black:)

7. Football Games or Jumping in a Pile of Leaves?

BOTH! The next time I see a pile of leaves, I'm seriously going to make a leaf "Angel". (like a snow angel but like with leaves:))

8. Skinny Jeans or Leggings?

Leggings! Big sweaters & large shirts with some leggings. It's so simple & perfect!

9. Boots or UGGs?

UGGs! My family was obsessed with these for a while. I also like Bear Paw, which is also like UGGs, but they're cheaper! Short UGGs & maybe ankle boots would be perfect!

10. What is Your Favorite Thing about Fall?

Nature! The leaves are so beautiful. And I love the chilly weather!

11. Do You Have a Song that Gets You in the Fall mood or Just a Song You're Loving at the Moment?

Cake By the Ocean by DNCE (clean version). And Me & the Rhythm by Selena Gomez. (I'm really into mainstream pop music-which can be annoying) But you guys should totally listen to these!

12. What is the Fall Weather Like Where You Currently Live?

Its been pretty windy here but it's sooo sunny which makes walks feel so amazing! It'll get cool slowly where I live. The best fall weather is waking up in the morning with tons of blankets all around you!

I was tagged by Snaps n Pixels!

I'm seriously so into seasonal festivities & holidays. Every time I go out, I want to buy pumpkin-everything & go crazy with Fall DIYs. I'm sort of obsessing:) This tag was so much fun! I would love to hear what you guys think so you should totally do this tag!!
