2000s fall
i'm feeling very fall today, and very nostalgic, so i wanted to talk about my favorite parts of the 2000s fall aesthetic that i've been seeing all over tiktok and pinterest!! i'm not really a writer so sorry if this sucks but i wanted to try blogging haha. also i need a few more posts here to test out my layout.
twilight & twilight themed things
i actually watched twilight for the first time a few years ago, but i remember it being inescapeable from 2008-2012. my tiger beat magazines were full of twilight gossip, and every girl had chosen team edward or team jacob. i personally was team neither. if i were bella, i would choose someone less problematic, preferably a human. but i guess edward did sparkle, so i get it. but i love the twilight aesthetic and bella's iconic outfits. and i have to thank twilight for introducing me to multiple celebrity crushes i still have to this day. also, i don't know if anyone else remembers this, but a staple of my childhood was the bath and body works twilight woods scent. i'm pretty sure it was kind of inspired by the twilight franchise, and i thought i was sooo cool for owning it. i still have a little bit that i save for the coziest fall days.
pumpkin scented candles
ok, we still have these today, but they're just so cozy and nostalgic! my favorites are pumpkin pecan waffles and sweet cinnamon pumpkin from bath and body works. i miss the old candle designs.
uggs with flare jeans
this has come back in recent times, and i'm a fan. you can pry my uggs out of my cold, dead hands. and pairing them with wide leg jeans is so much better than skinny jeans or leggings.
disney channel halloween episodes
disney channel had some of the best seasonal episodes, especially halloween. there's the classic suite life of zack and cody suite 613, the wizards of waverly place haunted house episode, the that's so raven episode where raven and chelsea accidentally turn into cows, they're all pretty great. i love the 2000s halloween aesthetic, it has so much more whimsy.
halloweentown!!
the BEST halloween movies. my favorite was always halloweentown high, it kind of reminds me of high school musical. but maybe that's just because it stars half the cast. the music is amazing too. i watch it every single halloween while i hand out candy and it never gets old.
gilmore girls
i'm actually in the middle of my first gilmore girls watchthrough, but i had to put this here. i'm from connecticut and i love that we have this show to represent our state, even though it's filmed in california and sometimes it gets things hilariously wrong. i aspire to live in a cozy home in a cute walkable small town. stars hollow sort of reminds me of my hometown, if you took away all the strip malls and most of the traffic and just left the cute stretch of town center.
anyways, that's it! i'm a big fall fan still. i might do 2010s next.
