5 Good Things Under $50: Autumn for Beginners

This is for the reader who is soon to experience their very first autumnal season. And yes, it is just like how it is in the movies and on Gilmore Girls. The one season that inspires cinema, books and music and as soon as it gets dark half an hour earlier, we tend to break out the necessities.

So if this is to be your very first fall-autumn season, one important tip is to not overdo the pumpkin spice. It’s a made for TV concept, it’s not for everybody and may not suit every occasion. If you’re truly expecting a magical time, there are some basics items you’ll want to consider and not to fret if you’re on a budget.

First, you need a cozy scented candle that is strictly to put you in the seasonal mood. Followed by the reliable cardigan — any kind will do as long as it’s fit to snuggle up with a hot bev and a good book or if you’re walking the dog on crisp afternoons. Oh, you’ll need to dive into a very good book, choose your genre, but we’ve included one of our favorites as a strong suggestion. A comfy pair of throw-on clogs for when you’re again, walking the dog or headed to the cafe for a croissant and a perfectly steamed cortado. And of course you need a pair of warm socks that will likely pair well with your new loafers.
