♡🍂🐻🍯Autumn Inspo 2021🍯🐻🍂♡

 HI! 

 So, I've been looking a lot at one of my favorite Instagram accounts, @Jazmineflowerfairy

(please check out her account. she's literally a real life Disney princess and fairy!!!!)

Her name is Jazmine and her ig is literally just filled with, flowers, teddy bears, Disney, pink and cute outfits. 

ALL OF THE THINGS I LOVE!!!!

One of my favorite things about her account was that (like me) she loves seasons, and (also like me) she lives in an area where it's hot all the time so, seasons don't even exist. Even though it's always hot, she still finds ways to change with the seasons by making cute outfits to match, making themed playlist, doing seasonal activities + self care and making moodboards!

 I know that right now it's currently August which is still a summer month...BUT....because I am impatient and because I am extra, I made three moodboards based on what I want to look like, feel and express this Autumn!!!

(I want to make these moodboards for every season so I will definitely be making a winter one by the end of November.❄️)

I'll be including 3 moodboards, a playlist and some people who inspired me for the season, movies, books and activities!

1. Autumnal Royalcore Princess

This look is mostly inspired by classical ballet, the "Princesscore" aesthetic and Christine Daaé from 'Phantom of the Opera' (one of my favorite plays!)

2. Britpop Prep school 

I honestly have no idea if this aesthetic is really a thing or not. I was kinda just imagining a preppy rich girl from the 80s/90s, who's in either a private school or a boarding school and is obsessed with britpop music like 'Blur' or 'The Smiths' 

(Even though her parents think her  music taste is stupid.)

 Think both Rory from Gilmore Girls and Ashley from Fresh Prince!

Well, I hope you liked this long post (with way too many mentions of The Smiths). 

Once school starts for me I'm definitely gonna be in full fall mode, even though its still 80 degrees. 

Instead of drinking hot tea, wearing brown knit sweaters and cuddling under pounds of blankets, I'll be drinking boba teas, wearing a brown knit tank top and shorts while under the AC.

(I may even be giving myself yarn braids again but with ginger colored yarn...we'll see...)

Till it gets cooler, I'll do what I can!

WEAR A MASK,

Wash your hands,

and stay safe.

Love, Brook
