Getting Autumn Ready
There is nothing better than having a cosy, Autumnal day. Lighting a candle, wearing a soft knit jumper and putting the kettle on ready to make the yummiest hot drink. I may even go all out by saying putting on a Disney or Halloween themed film such as Harry Potter or Hocus Pocus. Here are a few things you can do to get you in the Autumn mood.
The first thing I do is create the perfect setting. I wash all my bed sheets and place my fluffy cushions and throw neatly on top. I spray my White Company Autumn scent home spray which contains notes of pear, quince and amber. I light my also White Company Seychelles candle which adds a sweetness to the room. I then put on a cosy, warm jumper. The one I've chose is this pink, bat wing jumper from Weekday and some black jogging bottoms.
Once I'm all set up I put on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. These movies are by far my favourite to watch at this time of year. It creates a dark (in a cosy way), magical atmosphere. I also make myself a hot cup of tea with maybe a few biscuits to dip.
This to me is the perfect Autumnal day. Nothing crazy going on, no jobs which need to be done. Just me, my bed, my favourite film and the window showing the cold, wet, deary weather. There are also other things you could do to get you in Autumnal mood. You could go on a peaceful walk, stop by the nearby pub and have some food. You could do a bit of baking and create some scrummy cup cakes or a lovely lemon drizzle.
I hope this helped with some ideas on those days where the weather is not the greatest meaning all you want to do is stay in side. Lighting the fire with the telly on there is really nothing better I would rather be doing.

Autumn/Winter wish list
The fashion industry is well and truly in the Autumn, Winter spirit. The high street is lined with chunky knits, coats and knee high boots. This has made me lust after some beautiful pieces both online and in store. Here are a few of my favourite.
Fashion Union Single Breasted Coat £75
Oasis Colour Block Jumper
£36
New Look Heeled Boot £29.99
Michael Kors Bag £195
Autumn Essentials
This time of the year is one of my favourites. It's that transitional period between Summer and Autumn. It's not warm enough to wear a t-shirt or dress on their own therefore a wardrobe adjustment needs to be made. For this reason I have decided to write a post showing those essential pieces that will get through the next month before jumper and coats come out of hiding.
1- The long sleeve t-shirt.
These are probably the easiest clothing items to add to your existing wardrobe. I have recently purchased a three pack from Asos these includes a black, grey and white. I have also bought two, long sleeve, cropped, ripped tops from Topshop, these work perfectly paired with high waisted jeans.
2- Trousers
If I'm being honest sometimes I get bored of wearing jeans and need an alternative to wear at work. These checked, tailed trousers from New Look are brilliant with wearing either the white or black long sleeve tops from Asos.
3- Skinny Jeans
Prior to what I've just said I do love a pair of skinny jeans. Their so versatile and go with everything. You can wear casually with a pair of trainers and then pair them up on a night out with some heels. The newest pair to my collection are from Riverisland. I've been really impressed with their denim. Their not too expensive and fit really well. I bought them in indigo and black.
All the clothing pieces of mentioned I found are perfect for the month of September. It's not quite Winter yet were you would need to get your coat out, perfect something light to cover your arms is just right.
