5 Fandom Friday: 5 Favorite Things About Autumn

Autumn is my favorite time of the year!  The leaves change, sweaters and scarves can be worn again, plus pumpkin EVERYTHING!  Living in LA, doesn't get you into the Autumn spirit too much, with no leaves changing, no weather changes. So to cheer myself up and get us ALL into the Autumn season here are some of my picks of favorite things for Autumn! Of course I had to make them nerdy!
1.  Sweaters!  This nerd sweater is so cute AND neutral so you can dress it up or down!  Check out my Everyday Cosplay Autumn Layers post for more ideas on dressing nerdy in Autumn..that also includes my next favorite thing about Autumn...

2.  Scarves!  These are one of my most favorite accessories! You can never have too many!  NEVER!  Scarves are perfect for the bit of chill in the air and a pop of nerdy color to your look!  Try this nerdy scarf from Her Universe!
3.  Cozy Pjs!  Add in a Cutting Cable marathon and your pumpkin latte for a perfect nerd night cuddling up on the couch! Check out these 10th Doctor PJs from Think Geek!
4.  Pie!  You ALL know that I don't need it to be Autumn to have pie, but any excuse to eat even MORE pie and I'll take it! This pumpkin pie and PSL from The Pie Hole in Pasadena were to die for! I felt bad for cheating on Republic of Pie!
5.  PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!  I've found so many awesome pumpkin foods/drinks/smells I want to try them all!  My favorite has to be the Pumpkin Croissants from Trader Joe's!  My freezer was stocked full of them last year, and this year will be no different!

By the time late November rolls around we here in Southern California should be able to join you all with Autumn weather.  Until then I'll be inside with the AC on, pretending it is Autumn, a pumpkin coffee in hand and burning a pumpkin candle!
What are your favorite things about Autumn??!!  Share them in the comments below!

Oh my gosh! Girl I am totally loving your blog. And I am so jealous that you live in San Diego. Attending Comic Con is on my bucket list. *sigh* Love everything about your fall post. Maybe except the pumpkins. But only because we don't get the Starbucks pumpkin stuff here in New Zealand, and I can't get my head around it.

Nerd Burger said...

AGGHH!!I need that Mario scarf. SO adorable.

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

Thank you so much Toni! I like the chi latte better, do they have that over in NZ? Try a pumpkin candle :) mmmmm. So grateful for your sweet comment! xo

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

I know right?! Wish I could knit that good!! xo

My favorite memory of fall would be the bright orange maple trees and field trips to the apple farm for cider and donuts. :-)

Anonymous said...

If only I enjoyed pumpkin... lol. But I'm trying to be fall nerdy on a budget! Unemployement, woo!

Stephanie Medeiros said...

I'm always finding new Etsy stores to favorite in your posts, haha. LOVE those scarves. :D

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

We take a field trip for pre-school every year to the pumpkin patch, it's usually HOT but it still puts me in the spirit! Thank you for the comment!

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

Working on toning down my shopping as well!

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

Thanks Steph I LUV Etsy too much amazing stuff not enough $$ :) xo

Jen said...

Fall is my favourite season and we are definitely experiencing Fall weather here in Northern Ontario, Canada. Pumpkin everything is my favourite! I've been drinking pumpkin lattes, eating pumpkin candies, and burning pumpkin candles! My parents brought me home some candy corn coffee from Target in the U.S. It's actually pretty good and smells just like candy corn!

And I LOVE those scarves!

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

THOSE ALL sound great! I just got some pumpkin croissants from Trader Joe's and they are amazing! Have to go stock up now :)

Anonymous said...

Autumn is my favourite time of year without a doubt. I've never tried pumpkin latte but goodness me it sounds delicious! I walk home thru the most adorable woods and being able to see all of the wonderful colours on the trees that autumn brings is just so lovely. x

Emelie said...

YESSSSSSSS -- sorry, too enthusiastic? NEVER!!

J said...

I love scarves and sweaters! Can't wait for the weather to cool down to wear them :D

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

I am so jealous of the Autumn colors! That is the one thing I miss about living on the East Coast :) xx

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

Perfect amount Emelie!! xx

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

Jessica it takes too long to cool down here in CA, I'm ready now! LOL xx

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

So ready for a cool down, suppose to be 90 this weekend :( Have to start thinking of my Halloween costume!! xx

Unknown said...

I love fall and pumpkin everything. It stays pretty warm around here until about Halloween. I'm ready for layers!

Unknown said...

Woke up this morning to the perfect fall morning. Misty and rainy out with a little bit of cool weather. Chilly in college and I had to purchase a sweater since I forgot one at home. Never can have too many sweaters in fall. :)

rosa de los reyes said...

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

Rebecca, I am so jealous! Have a great Autumn day! xx

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

The only down side to living in CA is the lack of seasons! :) xx

Mariko said...

My favourite things about autumn include: leather boots! apple picking! using my oven to cook without turning the house into a sauna! POP Montreal music festival! and finally, an excuse to start knitting again.

MEGAN ELVRUM said...

Mariko, I like the oven idea! I have to turn on the AC when I use it! UGH! xx

❤Cate❤ said...

YES TO PIE, I love me some pie xoxo

Emma said...

That pie looks soooo.. good - I never come across pie as nice as that here. And your sweater IS super cute, I love the Jurassic Park tee peeking out under too. Great Autumn picks.

Alice - The Geeky Burrow said...

Autumn is my favorite season too! Love your list :)

B. said...

Mmmmm, pie! I love the smell of a baking pie. It's the best!

Danielle Knapp said...

Pumpkin and pecan pie are my favorite for this time of year :) Autumn is my favorite season despite not really getting much of a season here in FL

Brittany Belling said...

Pumpkin croissants, no way! Our Trader Joe's has most of the pumpkin stuff in stock, with the last wave coming in next week, and we already overdid it. Cookies, cheesecake, pancake mix, cornbread mix, pumpkin butter. Oh, so good!!

syllykay . said...

Love the pumpkin croissants from TJs too - my favorite!! Cannot wait for SoCal to cool down!!

Kate (ChikSolo) said...

Pumpkin!!! I wonder if my local TJ's has any pumpkin croissants in stock yet...

Katya Owu said...

I love your photos! Scarves are my all time favourite <3

Megan Gotch said...

Thanks Katya! Me too and it was almost cool enough to wear one today...and now back to 100s tomorrow! LOL

Megan Gotch said...

I was just there the other day and sadly no! Good luck! xx

Megan Gotch said...

It's been nice the last couple days but this weekend is suppose to be horrid again! :(

Megan Gotch said...

LOL I did a bit of a TJ's pumpkin binge but not too bad yet! They do have the best pumpkin stuff though! xx

Megan Gotch said...

DITTO!!! xx

Megan Gotch said...

Thanks Alice! xx

Megan Gotch said...

I really need to try pecan pie! Hear ya on the seasons though! xx

Megan Gotch said...

Thanks Emma! xx

Joie_Fatale said...

YES! Pie haha! And yay for sweater weather!

And While I enjoy pumpkin, my favorite fall flavor ( #4 on my list) is coming soon!

Nichole said...

Pie!!! I can't wait for pumpkin and apple pies!

Mallory @ bad.wolf.brunch said...

Aw love it all and totally feel you for losing the sense of season in LA. Sadly Disneyland decor is the easiest way to tell it is no longer summer..

Kendall Ashley said...

Love this list! And I love that Daryl scarf you linked to. So adorable. It's been on my wish list for a while now!

Mandy Curtis said...

Scarves are totally the best. And I totally feel you on the lack of "real" autumn; living in Texas, it's very rarely "cool." (It's hot 350 days of the year and then cold the other 15, haha.)

dePepi said...

Awesome list! I agree with you: pumpkin everything!!! Scarves are also my favorite :) (I have lots of them)

♡ Kristin ♡ said...

Yay pumpkin season!!! Every time you instagram a photo of pie my mouth waters! I want to visit LA again just so I check out Republic of Pie!

Melissa Prange said...

I'm excited about all the pumpkin flavored stuff too! I need some pumpkin spice tea in my life especially!

ALifeMoreKawaii said...

Scarves forever and pumpkin everything!!!! For Jen and I, we each have Halloween on the very top of our lists!!!!

Katie Muddling Along said...

Halloween is the best thing about Autumn. Here it's not so much "sweater weather" as "thick hoodie and coat" weather... already. Plus the shops have their christmas rubbish out already, it's like we skip autumn and head straight into winter

Kay said...

Cozy PJs.....yessssss. The best! Warm snuggly clothes are just fantastic.
