If you've been following my blog for a while you will probably know that I am a massive fan of Yankee Candle and burning candles in general. I posted about my Winter Yankee Candle collection in early 2016.
A few weeks ago I posted on Twitter about ordering some new Autumn themed candles from Yankee Candle and today I wanted to share the new 'Fall In Love' range with you (sadly I was unable to get the Autumn Glow candle as it was out of stock at the time of ordering however I did pick up a few other candles that weren't part of the new range but still seemed Autumn related.)

'Fall In Love' Range

The 'Fall In Love' range consits of 5 different candle scents, 1 of these is a US exclusive scent only. The scents available are:

Autumn Glow

As I mentioned before I was sadly unable to get this candle as it was out of stock when I ordered the rest of the candles and is STILL currently out of stock as I'm editing this post (5th October).

Vibrant Saffron

This candle almost reminds me of something you'd burn around Christmas because of the Saffron. I do however also feel its a great scent for burning in Autumn as it creates that cozy feeling.

Mulberry & Fig Delight

This is my favourite scent from the range, it has a very fresh, fruity scent, that honestly just smells amazing!

Warm Cashmere

This is the last scent in the UK range and everytime I smell this it just makes me want to bake something! I wouldn't say that I'm a massive fan of this scent though as it is a stronger scent than the others.

Bourbon Wood Barrels & Warm Autumn Evening

For anyone living in the US, these are the US exclusive Limited Edition candles, which due to living in the UK I was sadly unable to purchase so I can't write about what I thought of them.

Other Autumn Related Candles

As I mentioned above, whilst I was ordering the candles from the Autumn range I also ordered three extra candles from their classic collection which you can get all year round. These were:

Fireside Treats
I bought this candle as it kind of made me think of Autumn nights sat around a fire chatting and roasting marshmallows. The scent is quite fresh with a hint of something sweet, you can definitely smell the marshmallows! So this could also be a great candle for burning during the Winter.
Autumn Night
In my opinion this scent is quite a manly one, reminds me very much of the Muscle Soak bubble bath from Radox.
Spiced Orange
This one smells exactly like you'd expect it to, like a very strong smelling orange. Definitely a great scent for Autumn any maybe even Christmas.

What's your current favourite scent this Autumn?

I last shared my Netflix favourites with you over a year ago (you can check out that post here) so I thought it was time I shared my current favourites with you as ALOT has changed since then.

Gossip Girl (6 Seasons)

Gossip Girl was my guilty pleasure up until a few weeks ago when I finally finished the show. I made the mistake of searching to find out who Gossip Girl was early on around season 1/2 cause I'm such an impatient person and although I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone here... I am planning a post all about my thoughts and feelings regarding everything GG.

The IT Crowd (5 Series)

Although I have recently finished watching this (can we just talk about how short the episodes/series were?!) it has definitely been one of my favourites to watch.The show is based on 3 characters who work in the IT department and their day to day work life.

Spy (1h59)

Ever since I first watched this a few months ago it has easily become one of my favourite movies, of course, the fact that it stars Melissa McCarthy probably meant that even if the movie wasn't that great it would have still been included on my favourites list. She plays a CIA Analyst who is thrown into active duty despite experience after her partner is killed.

Lockup & Under Arrest
I have also enjoyed watching a few prison documentaries including the various different Lockup series's which are filmed inside different prisons and jails around America and also Under Arrest which is a 6 series documentary style show which films various arrests around Canada.

Shaddow Hunters
After finishing Gossip Girl, I was stuck for something to watch next so after a large amount of scrolling and deliberating, I chose to start watching Shaddow Hunters, so far I am just starting episode 3 of season 1 but I am really enjoying the show so far. The main plot of the show is a girl discovering the world of demon hunting after her mothers disapearance, a world which was kept secret from her for her childhood years.

A few weeks ago I went on a bit of an 'End of Summer' shopping spree and I wanted to take this time to share with you what I bought!

Beauty

One of the first purchases I made was in the perfume shop, I have loved this perfume ever since I received a sample of it a few years ago and ever since I have been repurchasing it whenever I have the chance. Every time I buy a different perfume I always end up going back to this one and this time I decided to buy the 50ml bottle as it was on offer (and cheaper than the 30ml!)

I also went to Superdrug to repurchase a few beauty items and also buy a few new items I have been wanting to try. I picked up a few items from Revolution including their blush palette which comes with 8 different blush colours. I love the quality and affordability of their products. so I always make sure to check out their range whenever I'm in Superdrug.

Fashion

The first shop I went to was, of course, Primark, I always end up leaving the store with the biggest bag they have and this time was no different! One of my favourite items I bought from there was a pair of sunglasses, this was probably a crazy idea as we are getting less and less sun as we move into Autumn. I also picked up a pair of dark wash jeans as I love how affordable they are and I realised the other day I no longer had any dark wash jeans as they were all ripped!

I also went into H&M and New Look and repurchased a scarf that I had bought from the H&M store in Westfield (London) but had somehow come home without when I wore it New Year's Eve last year and it's taken me this long to find it again! I also picked up a few t-shirts and tank tops as they are easily wearable and are reasonably cheap.

Other
This is probably my favourite part of any haul as it can be quite random but can also be good at showing a person's personality. One of my favourite items I picked up was a scented candle from the Primark homeware section. If you saw my post I wrote at the beginning of last year about the Winter Yankee Candle range you will probably know how much I love candles so I always end up buying at least one every time I go somewhere.

I also picked up a couple of jewellery pieces from a few different shops. My favourites are a gold chained necklace (not sure on the shop for this one) and a few new Pandora style charms for my bracelet.

I know this was a fairly long post compared to most of the other posts on my blog so if you got this far well done.. and let me know what do you enjoy most about shopping?

If you were interested in any of the items mentioned above I have provided links to the few that I can find below.
