Fall Fun Series: Apples, Sweaters and Denim

Hi there! Today's post will be short and sweet because I don't have a big array of apple things to share....which is sad because I do like apple! I guess I just go full fledged pumpkin this time of year.
Alas, the theme today is apple and I want to give her the full respect she deserved before all the pumpkin spice crazies (me!!) had her take a back seat.

I'm sharing the apple scents that I have been loving, and a quick nail of the day before a proper review of this gorgeous polish.  I grabbed two new candles from Bath and Body Works last week including the one below, Leaves.
Leaves fragrance notes read: crisp red apple, golden nectar, and warm clove spice. It smells like a more mature version of apple cinnamon...without the gimmicky scent that some apple cinnamon candles have. I do smell clove as the spice that accompanies this.  I am excited to see how this one performs!  As you can see I have not tried it yet:


Next is my absolute favorite apple candle to date!  This is by Everyday Luxe, a brand exclusively found in TJMaxx and Marshalls to my knowledge.  I bought 2 of these candles last year and I am down to my last.  The name of this is Farmer's Market, but when I went to find new ones this year the scent is labeled as Harvest (it definitely smells the same) and I didn't see a Farmer's Market to compare.  I opted not to get this year's version because it smelled lighter so I'm hoping they will get a new batch in the coming weeks. I will edit this post on the definitive name because I know they are each different candles. If you're looking, for now go with the one that smells like cider.

They don't put fragrance notes on their candles, unfortunately.  If I had to describe it FM/ Harvest (??) is a warm and delicious apple cider with notes of pear and nectar.  It is very unique to anything in BBW right now and it's just heavenly! 10/10 recommend!
If you have seen Everyday Luxe anywhere else, please holla at ya girl!



Finally, what goes better with a romp in the apple orchard than wearing Sweaters and Denim in festive fall fashion?  I bought Vapid Sweaters and Denim early this year and just now getting around to trying it. This is my first thermal polish and my fist Vapid polish.  I am SO glad I grabbed it!  This is 3 very easy coats and is also a 10/10 recommend!


The quick picture I snapped of Sweaters and Denim is in its transition state - part a denim indigo color and part peachy copper shimmer. It's still really warm here, so I have to play around a bit to get a cold shot. The sun was setting when I ran outside to grab these pics. I was out picking apples all day after all! :)


I hope you check out my other friends participating in this series.

Vapid will be having a restock and new fall polish release at the end of the month. I imagine Sweaters and Denim will make a return at some point too. What shades and scents are you loving this fall?

  1. Love that version of Leaves, especially, the next sale I see I'm probably going for it. What a cool nail polish too. Looks perfect for the season. I'm glad poor, forgotten apple is getting the love this week��

  3. Burning my Leaves candle right this minute. Such a great classic scent. I have not had the chance to seek out the Everyday Luxe candles from Marshall's yet but I will try to soon. The Farmer's Market scent sounds lovely. That polish is awesome!!!! I bet it would stay copper the whole time here in this hot weather. Or maybe I can get it to change in the A/C? You have such gorgeous nails. I will be keeping tabs on Sweaters and Denim.

    1. thanks so much! It's very reactive to hot, cold and in between so even though I am in AZ I have seen it shift. Inside for sure you will see it :)

  4. Leaves is one of my favorite BBW fall scents. I need to check out TJ Maxx for candles. I haven't looked there lately. Gorgeous polish too. I love copper shimmers!

  5. I am also burning my Leaves candle. I find that the strength is different depending on the year - sometimes it's so strong, I have to blow it out after a short time. Even the lightest years put out a pretty good throw, I hope you like it!
    Your nails! They are beautiful and I love the color.

    1. I tried leaves tonight and you're right, the throw was great. I was in a different room and could smell it. Thanks so much! I definitely recommend Vapid - great formula and SO unique!

  7. I've never been particularly fond of apple scents. They're ok, but I'm definitely a pumpkin fan, lol!

  8. I'm not a big lover of apple scents, I'm a big fan of more wintery pine scents, but it will take some more time for me to light them again!
    That nail polish is gorgeous!
