Autumn means - a blogger's snapshot


Autumn is well and truly here. The leaves have fallen, the days are shorter and the evenings colder.
In terms of fashion, Autumn means to me layers. Wool and cotton, knits and crochet. Not quite yet the season of thermals, but a top, jumper and jacket does the trick. Cardigans become a must have during this season. Autumn means to me the return of scarfs. Big, square ones that you can wrap all around you and which double up as a blanket - or a face cover for when it's too early in the morning. One is always on the look out for new scarfs. Never too many scarfs. Autumn means to me boots. Thick boots that feel cosy inside because of the wool lining. Boots that you can run in the leaves with, kicking up a flurry of browns, yellows and oranges. No shame. Autumn means to me trench coats - the classic cut ones, beige in colour and with a belt around the waist. Feeling a bit detective but why not. Autumn means to me lip salve. Nivea Vanilla and Macadamia is a personal favourite. Chapped lips no more. And finally, Autumn means to me fluffly dressing gowns. The silk ones can go back in the wardrobe, these are the ones you wear when you want some TLC in the form of fabric.

Happy Autumn x
