The return of the legendary red cup from Starbucks can only mean one thing – winter is upon us! As much as I am a summer girl who loves eighty degree weather and an excuse to eat ice cream every hour of the day, being wrapped like a burrito in blankets in crisp weather sounds irresistible right about now. Autumn and winter are seasons specifically made for every girl to wear their favorite comfy oversized sweater, drink hot cocoa, and lay in bed, with a soothing autumn playlist that makes us feel as if we’re starring in our own indie movie. We’ve all dreamt about meeting the skinny jeans-dawning hipster love of our life (who may or may not resemble James Franco) in a quaint coffee shop next to our apartment in New York City. Until then, we have to settle with this kick-ass playlist that is sure to evoke the quintessential feelings winter has to offer us.
