Now that the weather is cooling down and the homework is
adding up, the days of sandals and spontaneous pool parties are a thing of the
past.
But that doesn’t mean you
have to give up kicking back with your friends!
Take the fun indoors and relax with your girls by having a
low-key, fall-themed sleepover.
Who misses summer now?
Easy invites
For a no-fuss sleepover, it’s totally fine to just text or
call your girls with the plan.
However, if you want to make things extra-special, hand out paper
invites. Grab some orange
construction paper, cut out pumpkin shapes and write the party deets on one
side. On the other, fab it up with
orange or gold glitter. Totally
girly and laid-back – just like your sleepover!
Drama-free décor
You can easily spruce up your hang-space for a cozy night
with your besties. Light some
candles – spicy scents like cinnamon fit for fall (just don’t forget to blow it
out before you go to bed!).
White Christmas lights give your living room or bedroom the feel of a
starry fall night. Put out extra
blankets for your guests to cuddle up in - warm colors, like red and orange,
are totally on season.
Autumn eats
Fall has sooo many tasty treats associated with it! It’s hard to pick, but for a girls’
night at home, we love hot spiced apple cider
and kettle corn. For the morning
(and, okay, maybe late-night too), bake up some delish chocolate chip
pumpkin muffins. Seasonal and sweet!
Seasonal spa
Face masks and mani/pedis are spa-night staples. No need to ditch the classics, but
update them with a fall twist.
Whip up this pumpkin face mask
and stock up on fall’s hottest nail colors – we love plum, rose gold, and these
3 fab nail hues.
Fall flicks
Finish off the evening by curling up with our fave
fall-themed movies!
A Cinderella Story – We could watch the scene where Sam, played by
Hilary Duff, meets her Prince Charming (aka cutie Chad Michael Murry) at the
Halloween dance over and over.
When Harry Met Sally… - Okay, this one isn’t exactly fall-themed, but
there is a beautiful scene of the friends-turned-soulmates walking through the
autumn leaves. And hey, they do
fall in love!
The Twilight
series! – Part 1 of Breaking Dawn comes
out November 18th, so now is the time to get caught up! Watch them all… or just fast-forward to
your fave werewolf or vampire scenes.
We won’t tell!
