i thought instead of showing you pictures of fall, i would write out a few of the best things of fall, and let you build your own inspiration folder.
Movies:
now as you might have noticed, 99 percent of these movies are animated. all the best Halloween movies are animated. i have a few new releases that look good, plus some of the classics. i don't doubt you've heard of these, but i still love roundups.
Films:
a new release with about the cutest looking plot ever.
one of my favorite Halloween movies. or maybe i just love Neil Gaiman. either way reading and watching Coraline is a must for any rainy night
obvs. i know this is more classically a Christmas movie but i never saw it. Halloween all the way. plus just look at the animation!
best two movies ever. April Addams is a known fahsion icon.and then the movies just hit you with kitschy aesthetic and love.
also a new release. anything about small town, ghosts, curses, and zombies is fine by me.
i know this isn't the official poster, but my friend has this girl on her shirt and I'm mad jelly. but basically this movie looks weird and completely unoriginal but i can't wait to see it anyway.
Clothes, Etc
legwarmers are literately the best thing ever. just, they're so soft and warm
stripes, black and orange, pumpkins. i'll just leave this here.
candy corn is nasty. at least that's what i think. but you can not deny the beauty behind these cones of chemical.
knit hats: i sure staple. i myself possess a red knit beret, and my hair is short to wear hats.
brown combat boots. i don't own any, flaw on my part, but if you can, snag these. i didn't think that brown would go with all my black and gray clothes but now i realize brown combat boots match anything in the fall. anything!
sweater, particularly gray.
fall colors are as follows, or at least as i have observed:
grays, browns, blacks, purples, oranges, golds, and reds
Foods:
hot chocolate, more specifically, pumpkin pie spice hot chocolate. i love the idea of roasting marshmallows to put on tops.
these fall under the categories of pumpkin lattes, but they were both to cute to choose.
gingerbread. whether it be actual bread, cake, cookies. always do something cute with it. if only i could bake and had the skills to achieve this.
pomegranates. only just the most magical and whimsical food of all time. they are finally coming back into season and it's some to the baking.
apples, bum bum bum!!! just take a moment and enjoy the humble apple. sure, during to winter you hate it because it's the only fresh fruit available, but in the fall it's remade. my favorite snack is cutting and peeling an apple, and covering it with cinnamon.
pumpkins. obviously everything in the fall needs pumpkins. i just made pumpkin oatmeal cookies. but the real beauty is in the untouched pumpkin patch.
pumpkin oat bread is the pinnacle of pumpkin things.
and, of course, your best bet with fall is to just pour spices on everything and dig in.
a few of my favorite fall Tumblrs. partake and smile.

Music:
Halloween music usually isn't in abundance but there are some fally tracks that fit.
Dark Dark Dark
wonderfully dark without being full on gore music, there lyrics and style fits for fall and Halloween perfectly.
the Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack
while i do not own this one cannot deny that the best Halloween movie must therefore have the best Halloween soundtrack
Sweeney Todd Soundtrack
again, i don't own and have never seen the movie but these songs are just perfect.

of course rookie would put together a flawless Halloween soundtrack, of course.
Abigail Washburn and the sparrow quartet.
wonderfully folk, she's perfect for reading and drinking hot beverages while pretending you ate in the 20th century.
Black Prairie
same as Abigail but a little closer to Dark Dark Dark when it comes to lyrics. just listen to all three of them on repeat.
The Witch of the Westmoreland
this is just a song but lately i've been loving it.
