It seems like everyone is ready to kick 2016 to the curb, but it wasn't all bad! This past year my family got to welcome in a puppy, I crossed a major experience off my bucket list and I moved into my sorority house! While I'm excited to ring in the new year, I wanted to first take a look back at all of my favorite memories from 2016.

It's the end of November, and you know what that means....I'm now in full on holiday mode! Bring on the twinkly lights, snow and Christmas music! But first, let's take a look into my phone and see the last 13 photos on my camera roll!

It's no surprise that boys are the hardest people to shop for during the holiday season. Unlike us, their fashion trends aren't rotating on such a fast cycle so that there's always something new and exciting, and while most of them love their tech toys, sometimes those can break the budget. Today I'm sharing with y'all a gift guide for him, your boyfriend, brother, dad, etc., with items hitting price points all across the board!

I have been loving the more feminine approach to sweater weather with off the shoulder sweaters this year, and this one from Scoobie, with it's southwestern pattern and thick material, would be perfect for any fall occasion, including Thanksgiving!

With Thanksgiving a little over a week away it's about time to start thinking of which of your favorite fall outfits you'll be wearing to the family affair. While fall outfits are some of the easiest to throw together, I'm extra particular when picking out one for Thanksgiving because I want to be comfortable once I've stuffed myself with delicious food.

Everyone and their mother in Kansas has been complaining about the warm, upper 70s weather, we've been having all of fall; meanwhile, I'm here loving it! I never have and never will be a fan of the cold. I don't mind typical fall weather, but once it starts cooling down I know cold weather is right around the corner. I'm just not ready for that yet! Although, despite the weather, as stores are starting to filter out their fall products and welcome in their holiday collections, here's another Friday favorites!
2 Years! + Bloopers
Nov 3, 2016
I fully intended to take some cute photos for this post; you know, cliche gold balloons and all, but clearly that didn't happen. Regardless, I started Falling for Autumn 2 years ago! Isn't that crazy?! I have a hard time wrapping my mind around that I've been blogging for two years!
I started Falling for Autumn my senior year of high school after injuring my knee cheerleading, and with too much free time on my hands, I decided to take a stab at pursuing this creative outlet. Little did I know how quickly I would become so passionate about it and that it would consume my life. It hasn't always been easy between balancing it with schoolwork and taking pictures in the middle of the winter, but I think spontaneously deciding to create my own corner of the Internet two years ago is the greatest decision I could have ever made.
This journey has also allowed me to get a lot closer to my younger sister. If you didn't know, she's the person who has been taking 99% of the pictures y'all see on here since the very beginning. She may only be 14 years old, but she's definitely been a huge part in making all the content I put out possible!
Speaking of pictures, for every decent picture I share with y'all, there's about 20 bad ones, and since I completely failed on taking cute pictures for this special day, I decided to share with y'all some of the best outtakes! As glamorous as fashion blogging is portrayed, we can't forget long hair's worst enemy: the wind, falling over in heels, shivering in the winter and ~random dancing~.
Finally, I want to thank all of you who visit Falling for Autumn every day. It's still hard for me to believe that so many people what to know what I have to say, but I honestly appreciate it so much! I love you all, and here's to many more years to come!
Happy November!

VEST: Marshalls (similar HERE) | TOP: similar HERE | PANTS: Marshalls (similar HERE) | SHOES: Lauren Ralph Lauren (very similar HERE) | EARRINGS: Francesca's mini tassel earrings | NECKLACE: similar HERE | LIPS: Revlon ColorStay moisture stain in 'Parisian Passion'
Happy November y'all! Welcome to the peak of fall fashion and preparation time for the holiday season (eek!)

I'm not going to lie, this week has been a total blur, and I've been so anxious all week for the weekend to come as I have exciting things planned! But on top of how thrilled I am that it's finally Friday, I'm also excited to share my weekly favorites with y'all today!
Oversize Chic
Oct 27, 2016
SWEATER: Scoobie (available in stores or 913-461-4861, similar HERE) c/o | PANTS: American Eagle knit jegging | SHOES: similar HERE | PURSE: Lauren Ralph Lauren (similar HERE) | EARRINGS: Pearl stud earrings | NECKLACE: Kendra Scott 'Elisa' pendant necklace | LIPS: Revlon ColorBurst matte balm in 'Sultry'
I think we've already established that oversize is the best size, especially when it comes to sweaters, but oversize doesn't always equal frumpy. I prefer comfy chic, especially when it comes to this sweater with a chiffon hem.
Time for Teal
Oct 26, 2016
DRESS: Forever 21 (old, similar HERE) | SCARF: similar HERE | SHOES: similar HERE | EARRINGS: Altar'd State (similar HERE) | LIPS: Maybelline ColorSensational in the shade 'Pink Me Up'
Often times when I put on an oversized scarf I feel like I'm drowning in it, but a way I've found to counteract feeling like I've lost all my shape is by pairing it with a fitted dress.
Oversized Sweater
Oct 25, 2016
SWEATER: Altar'd State (not available online, similar HERE and HERE) | JEANS: Abercrombie and Fitch (old, similar HERE) | SHOES: Kenneth Cole (old, similar HERE) | EARRINGS: Kendra Scott 'Alex' drop earrings | WATCH: Wristology 'Rachel' gold boyfriend watch | LIPS: Revlon ColorBurst matte balm in 'Sultry'
If there's one thing us college girls love it's a nice oversized shirt, but instead of routinely wearing my sorority tees and sweatshirts, I like to try out a cuter option like this super oversized sweater every once in a while.

Blair Waldorf Inspired

TOP: Scoobie (available in stores or 913-461-4861, similar HERE) c/o | SKIRT: Scoobie (available in stores or 913-461-4861, similar HERE) c/o | SHOES: similar HERE | EARRINGS: Faux pearl stud earrings | NECKLACE: J.Crew pearl twisted necklace | LIPS: Revlon ColorBurst matte balm in 'Sultry'
Today's elegant, sophisticated yet young look is inspired by none other than one of my top style icons (despite being fictitious) Blair Waldorf. Just throw on one of her signature headbands, and I think the Queen B would give you her sign of approval.

Elegant, chic and at the right price point? Impossible, right? WRONG. This top from SheIn is not only gorgeously fun and sophisticated but also fits any college, fashion obsessed girl's budget!
Rosy Hues

TOP: Scoobie (available in stores or 913-461-4861, similar HERE) c/o | SKIRT: Scoobie (available in stores or 913-461-4861, similar HERE) c/o | SHOES: Madden Girl 'Remiie' sandal | EARRINGS: Altar'd State (old, similar HERE) | NECKLACE: Kendra Scott 'Elisa' pendant necklace | LIPS: Revlon ColorBurst matte balm in 'Sultry'
Is this not the most stunning, trendy yet elegant, transitional look you've ever seen? I've already talked about how I love finding ways to style pink pieces in the fall, and this may be one of my favorite looks of all time!
Olive Cold Shoulder Dress
Oct 17, 2016
DRESS: Scoobie (available in stores or 913-461-4861, similar HERE) c/o | SHOES: Target (old, similar HERE) | EARRINGS: Lauren Ralph Lauren faux pearl stud earrings | NECKLACE: similar HERE | WATCH: Daniel Wellington 'Classic St. Mawes' leather strap watch 36 mm | LIPS: Revlon ColorBurst matte balm in the shade 'Sultry'
T-shirt dresses are one of my favorite pieces to carry over into the fall. They are a super comfy and feminine option when other people start throwing on leggings and layers.

A mini corduroy skirt has been my go-to piece for taking my fall looks from drab to fab. It not only adds dimension but also pulls everything together for a fun and flirty look.

TOP: Scoobie (available in stores or 913-461-4861, similar HERE) c/o | PANTS: Scoobie (available in stores or 913-461-4861, similar HERE) c/o | SHOES: Madden Girl 'Remiie' sandal | PURSE: Louis Vuitton Monogram Artsy MM bag | EARRINGS: Kendra Scott 'Dee' earrings | NECKLACE: Kendra Scott 'Elisa' pendant necklace | LIPS: Revlon ColorStay moisture stain in 'India Intrigue'
Pink is definitely one of my favorite colors; when people see my room at home they often say it is one of the girliest rooms they've ever seen. What can I say? This girl loves her pink! But what I don't love is having to filter it out of my wardrobe once the fall and winter seasons hit. Although this year, with blush colored pieces becoming more and more popular, I have found several ways to keep wearing the lovely color year round!
Chambray Dress
Oct 1, 2016
DRESS: Charming Charlie popover denim dress | CARDIGAN: Old Navy long open-front cardi | SHOES: Madden Girl Remiie sandal | EARRINGS: Altar'd State (similar HERE) | LIPS: Maybelline ColorSensational lipstick in 'Pink Me Up'
What I love about a simple chambray dress is that it is an easy transitional piece between summer and fall despite the temperature outside.

Hey y'all! September has been packed full of fun memories from getting my dot Wednesday to my sorority having our first date party of the year last weekend.

Today I'm sharing with y'all the ultimate transitional romper that has beautiful hints of a feminine flare between the cold shoulders and deep neckline. I also opted to spice it up with a simple, gold choker.
