5 Northern Hemisphere Fall Bandwagons I've Jumped On

Oh hey, Friday! I didn’t even realise it was Friday, this whole not having a job thing is awesome and annoying at the same time. I love the flexibility but having no schedule every day tends to blend into the next. Don’t get me wrong we are constantly out doing things and exploring Berlin but it does feel like everyday is the weekend. This makes Friday a little less special except that today I’m finally joining my first link-up with the fabulous Karli over at September Farm!

Since coming to the Northern Hemisphere in fall and joining the blogging world I’ve discovered this thing they call fall is actually kinda a big deal with certain rights of passages and I’m now obsessed. So here are 5 Northern Hemisphere Bandwagons I’ve jumped on and am holding onto for dear life before what will definitely be my most intense winter ever.

1. Pumpkin spiced lattes.

I totally get it now. And i can tell you it’s not just Americans obsessed with this heavenly fall party in your mouth drink. When I ordered it the girl handed the cup to the barista with a swift roll of her eyes and exasperated ‘yet another PSL’ (the barista made some big hand gestures and ranted in german, I think she was excited). From the caffeine to the whipped cream and the cinnamony sugary hint of pumpkin? What’s not to love?

2. Plaid.

Oh plaid I just can’t get enough of you, and flannel plaid is my number one

3. Apple picking.

I was like a kid in a candy shop, it was the ultimate northern hemisphere fall trend I had been so excited to experience and it did not disappoint. Germany decided to grace us with the most beautiful bluebird sunny skies and the most delicious apples and berries (not to mention the Honig Man)

How do you like them apples?

4. Apple Pie (or more accurately galette).

What do you do when you have a bunch of fresh picked apples and no pie tin? Make Apple Galette of course. Omg I could have eaten the entire thing to myself and it was the easiest thing to make. I foresee a lot of galettes and fatness in our future.

5. Knee-high Riding boots.

One of the happiest purchased I made within days of arriving here, german made brown leather insulated boots, my feet and calves are going to love me as the temperature/barometer continues to drop. I have been searching for the perfect pair for years but having size 42 feet makes things tricky so when I found them in my size, exactly what I wanted and cheaper than what I found back home it was a no brainer.

Now all I need is to go pick my own pumpkin and then elaborately carve it like the ones all over Pinterest, because Pinterest projects always turn out like the picture. Seems doable.
