Hello Autumn

If I haven't made this clear already, I love Autumn time. The colours, the weather, the clothes. Anyone agree with me?

One of my favourite things about this time of year is the fact that I can start burning candles again. Not just any old scents either. Autumn means one thing...cinnamon. This one is from Ikea and I wish I'd bought a few more because I'm sure I'll be burning it every day for the next couple of months. 

Another thing that I use a lot of during the colder months is hand cream. I've been using one by Burt's Bees which of course, smells like honey and has a nice thick consistency but isn't too greasy.

Every time I've been to Primark recently at least one pair of socks has ended up in my basket. They've got some really cute frilly ones in so many different colours which I've been wearing with a pair of ankle boots.


One of my favourite lip products right now is Revlon's Balm Stain in 005 Crush. It looks quite dark in the tube but if you don't want to go for too much of a dark lip then it's lovely when applied once and not built up too much.



I realised recently that I didn't own a red tartan scarf. I have a neutral coloured one somewhere and got a lovely bright green one from H&M last year, but I thought it was time to get a red version as it's a great staple to have in your wardrobe for Autumn/Winter. I found this one in Primark.

Fallen Leaves | What I Wore


Autumn is finally here! I walked through the park on my way to town today and the trees had started to turn a lovely golden colour and there were leaves all over the grass. The clocks also went back today which makes it feel even more wintery, as it's completely dark outside as I type this.

I love summer but I think I might enjoy the colder months even more because it means you can wear more of your wardrobe all in one go. Today wasn't particularly cold but it was extremely windy as apparently there's going to be a storm tonight, so I'm glad I decided to wear this cosy scarf which is from H&M. The coat used to be my mum's (originally from M&S) but she very kindly gave it to me when I went home last week so I've really been enjoying wearing that this week. Another thing I love about Autumn is wearing Boots. The ones I wore today are from Primark which have a small heel and buckles down the side. I can definitely see myself getting a lot of wear out of them in the next couple of months.

Are you happy that Autumn is here?

Autumn Accessories | Rings

I go through phases where I'll cover my fingers in rings and where two necklaces at a time then suddenly I'll go weeks without wearing a single piece of jewellery. At the moment I'm in the mood to accessorise and have had my eye on a few different (very affordable) pieces so picked them up when I was in town yesterday. 


The first lot are these three midi rings from Primark which were an amazing £1.50. They are not the best quality to be honest and the infinity ring has chipped already, but I'm not complaining seeing as you get three rings for under £2. They are also available in gold, but they were pretty much sold out and only had M and L left. I'm usually an M but these rings are made so large that a S was the only size that stayed above my knuckle, so I'd suggest picking them up in a size smaller. 


Next is this multi pack from H&M. They are also available in gold but there was something about the silver pack that really stood out to me. They are so pretty and have a rough surface that almost makes them look sparkly. I thought they looked really unique and there are twelve in a pack which makes them great for stacking and wearing on different fingers. Good old H&M are brilliant for sets like this and twelve rings for £3.99 isn't bad either!



Do you like to wear a lot of jewellery? What's your favourite thing to wear at the moment?
