This post is dedicated to my all time favourite season and time of the year...autumn. I am a self-professed summer scrooge and every year I can't wait for autumn to role by. There are so many things I love about Autumn, from the food straight to the fashion. So I thought I would share with you my top 10 reasons why I am so in love with this wonderful season!
1. Colours - Now, no one can argue with how incredibly beautiful the colours of autumn are. From the crisp orange and red leaves to the glorious pinky sunsets of the night. There is nothing I love more, than walking through a forest in autumn with all the amazing colours that surround me.
2. Weather - Anyone who knows me well, knows how obsessed I am with rain. Don't ask me why, I just am! I love the sound of it and I love watching it. It is probably one of the main reasons I love autumn and even though in the UK we pretty much get rain all year round, it feels so right to splash in a puddle during the autumn months.
3. Fashion - Autumn and winter fashion is just SO MUCH BETTER. The ability to layer up and add a staple trench coat to any outfit, just makes fashion during these months seems so much more sophisticated, and of course bringing those booted heels back out.
4. Smells - The smells of autumn are sensational. Not only does the air smell crisp and fresh, but the smell of rain and earthy leaves and trees, just gives you an incredible range of smells and lets not forget the smell of all the candles and the sweet smell of cinnamon and mixed spices.
5. Cosy Nights - I hate nights that are light! Night to me should be dark and that is exactly what autumn gives me...nights start to become cosy again and I love it! Time to draw the curtains, light some candles and snuggle under a blanket with a roaring fire in the background...delightful
6. Hot Drinks - I think Starbucks has a lot to help with this! I am tea and coffee drinker all year round, but autumn brings with it more exciting and jazzy drinks like a pumpkin spiced latte (autumn in a cup) and cheeky hot chocolate of course.
7. Beauty - I love autumn beauty. It is now an acceptable time to start rocking a dark red lip or a deep setting purple lip and it be totally acceptable. Make-up is also so much easier to wear in autumn, because you are not sweating and smudging it off!
8. Rugby Season - Rugby season is in full flow and I have so many matches to look forward too. Rugby is my favourite sport to watch, and it is the epitome of our autumn and winter. I love standing in the crowd with a hot chocolate all wrapped up!
9. Comfort Food - Autumn brings with it the food we try and avoid all year round...pure and utter comfort food. Sunday roast dinners are back on the menu, mid-week stews and casseroles are bubbling away in the slow cooker and its time for pies and crumbles. I wait all year for my food coma hibernation.
10. Upcoming Holidays - This is the best time of year because of all the upcoming holidays. I love Halloween, getting dressed up for a party or a night full of scary movies, either way I have to celebrate. But the excitement of Bonfire Night, Thanksgiving and of course the countdown to Christmas begins...
What are your favourite things about autumn?
Much love
