So yesterday was a toasty 90+ degrees out but the leaves have started turning! That means it’s just about fall-y enough to do a fall favorites post! We will probably transition into actual fall weather soon and while we’ll miss summer for getting sunlight past 8 pm and skipping bulky layers, we ARE ready for fall fashion, new TV episodes, and discovering new food and drink selections!
Here’s what we’re looking forward to this fall!
Fashion
Leather jacket – A leather jacket will be a wardrobe staple this fall season! A great leather jacket can be versatile, bringing the perfect amount of edginess into every outfit!
Skinny jeans – Whenever we hear that skinny jeans are on the decline, we cringe inside and hope they NEVER go away. We absolutely love our skinny jeans all year around, buuuuut, they’re even better when the weather starts to become frosty! We love all the versatile fall colors (berry, olive, emerald ?) plus, they can be worn with the next item on the list…
BOOTS – Knee-highs, booties, we love them all! Need we say more? 😉
Food & Drink
Block 16 – When Alton Brown praises a restaurant, you go to that restaurant 🙂 We’ve heard such good things about Block 16 and finally got a chance to visit it a few weeks ago. OMG it totally lived up to the hype! Block 16 serves up hearty classics with an upscale twist (like French fries topped with duck or lobster – pictured). The restaurant’s space is small and intimate – with decent prices to match! It’ll continue to be the perfect place to cozy up and eat this fall.
Local craft beer – We wouldn’t consider ourselves beer connoisseurs by any stretch of the word, but we can definitely appreciate a local craft beer when we taste one! Rock Bottom is one restaurant that brews beer in-house, and we can vouch that their Kolsch beer has a crisp-ness so perfect it’ll make you think you’re in an orchard!
Caramel Apple Spice – This wouldn’t be a true fall favorites blog post without a little Starbucks action. 😉 The Caramel Apple Spice drink sounds just as warm and welcoming as it tastes – the warm apple cider, combined with cinnamon syrup and topped with whipped cream and caramel is the absolutely best way to spend a morning, afternoon, or evening (no caffeine here!).
Shows
Arrow & The Flash – We need our weekly dose of superhero shows and it’ll come from Arrow and The Flash this fall! Arrow has a darker, more serious feel while The Flash is more lighthearted but they both contain copious amounts of heroics 🙂 These shows exist in the same cinematic universe, produced by the same people, and aired by the same network so if you like one, you’ll probably like them both!
Food Network shows via Netflix – We obviously have an affinity for food, and food-related shows fall right in line with that! Recently, a few different Food Network shows have been made available for streaming on Netflix — think Chopped, Cupcake Wars, and more. It’s awesome because if you’re like us and you don’t have cable, you can still get your Food Network fix via Netflix! That way, you don’t have to have your parents or siblings record them for you back home… #guilty.
Nebraska Football – Ok, so even though this isn’t technically a show show, Husker football is almost like a religion to us, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The season has been off to a rocky start, no denying it, but we definitely bleed Husker red and will cheer on our team until the very end! Hopefully we can bring home the W when we get a chance to head down to Lincoln for an upcoming game!
What are some things you’re looking forward to this fall?
