FALLING IN LOVE WITH AUTUMNAL TUNES

When I think about autumn, I think about good music. Both mentally and physically, it makes you feel. The warm touch of snuggling in bed on a cold, autumn night is the same feeling you get when the words of a song harmonize with your reality.

The thrilling sensation of feeling the brisk air smack against your bare cheeks is the same as the impression the tune of a song has when it makes the hair on your arms stand up.

Good music and gentle weather can bring can overwhelm you with nostalgia. Music is supposed to make you feel just as powerful as the weather. Ben Howard, the talented English singer-songwriter, brought me immense feelings with his second, ten-track album, I Forget Where We Were.

My lovely auras! Can I call you all auras? I like that.

It is Friday, once again! This weekend I'm spending a day in Taos, New Mexico. If you know it for anything, it's probably for its ski slopes and cool Eco-friendly homes. I'm quite excited as all I want is to visit all the tiny, hole-in-the-wall restaurants and cafes and bask in the glory that is autumn in northern New Mexico.

What are your plans for this season? Cabin camping? Long, romantic walks in Central Park? Chilling in your room on your laptop? 

Any of those will do, am I right? 

Hope everyone is doing wonderfully. Get excited for the great things coming from Aura 32 in the coming weeks!

MAKE THIS FALL A PLAID ONE

Ahh, plaid, it’s been around for centuries. Plaid is one of those classic comeback items that you can always trust when you don’t know how to pull together an outfit. There are tons of ways to wear this print without looking like you’ve just stepped out of a 90’s sitcom. From tops to bottoms, there are many ways to incorporate some sort of plaid in your outfit, which is perfect for the fall season. Still don’t know how to fit in plaid into your outfit? I’ll be giving some tips on different pieces to make that perfect day or night outfit!

FALLING FOR NEW TUNES

Fall is definitely my favorite season of all. Not just because of the fact that I adamantly dislike the heat in the summer, but tons of new music is released beginning in early October to mid-November. Although I love the typical poppy sounding summer anthems- nothing beats a fresh new album from artists both old and new. With my favorite time for new music just starting up I have created a quick playlist of songs and artists you should be looking out for this fall. Enjoy!

EDITORS' NOTE

And it's Friday once again! I hope you all had a fabulous week- like I did! This past issue of Aura 32 that was published on Tuesday was one of our most exciting yet! Not only did we have an excellent 'Letter to Dudes' but we also featured our first band interview, which was with Liz and Louie HOLYCHILD! Make sure to give them a read if you haven't already- and to spread the word and share them around!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

I'd like to start off by mentioning Lyncoln Doggett and the success of his piece in the last issue! It was incredible to see how many people were interested in reading his "A Letter to Dudes" and learning about feminism from a different perspective. So, thank you.

I'm currently on fall break which is sadly only a 4 day weekend as college is not fun enough to give us a good week off. However, any day off is appreciated wholeheartedly as the fall semester of school is always the toughest. I'm sure you all can relate. Having a few days off has given me some time to catch up on work, work on some of my paintings, cuddle up with some of my favorite books and sip down some hot coffee in bed. I've also been quite addicted to horror flicks (I get very excited about Halloween), and if anyone has any recommendations maybe I'll do a piece on that in the coming weeks. 

Anywho, when are you all on fall break and what are your plans to pass the time with the falling leaves?

EVERY DAY HAUTE: TEMPERLEY LONDON

Alice Temperley, designer of Temperley London, has got to be one of my women crushes of the moment. Her designs are incredible, embodying the perfect British woman in every which way. Since there are no stores in North America, plus most of us don’t have thousands of dollars lying around plus shipping and handling, I thought we would dissect her latest trends in order to become “Temperley Girls” on a budget!

KEEP UP WITH THE TRENDS

Let's talk fall trends. Fall 2014 is filled with moody heroines and darkness.(Blame it on fashion's ever-growing obsession with Game of Thrones). Look out for these trends this fall!

TURNING A NEW LEAF

For all of those in the Southern Hemisphere, like myself, it’s now Springtime and that means it’s time for change. Spring is a time of new beginnings; the birds chirp, the flowers bloom and new life starts. It brings about new fashion to fit the new weather, along with spring-cleaning and new goals for people to try and change their lives in one way or another.
