22 things to love about autumn

I love a little light-hearted band wagon, and I don't really know if you can call yourself a blogger if you don't do one of these entirely pointless, but nonetheless really fun lists!

Bloggers love autumn, even though the evenings get darker faster which means photography gets infinitely harder, and lazy, unproductive days in bed seem far more appropriate than spending a day working on blog content, but we still love autumn.

Personally I've always been a big fan of autumn, even before my blogging days, but that might have more to do with presents than anything else.
So what's to love about autumn?

1. Jumpers. Get those jumpers out and get snuggly and warm, because although summer means ink out, jumpers and comfort is where it is really at.

2. Boots. Ankle boots. Chelsea boots. Wedge boots. Wellington boots. Give me all the boots.

3. Woolly bobble hats. I love them. They're cute and quirky and oh so very collectible.

4. Pumpkins. I am so so so excited for pumpkin picking in October and having them decorating the house.

5. Homesense halloween decorating. I love Homesense anyway, but their halloween decorations, are just gorgeous. I am finding a glass pumpkin which I definitely should have bought last year.

6. Halloween in general. Although we won't be trick or treating this year as Henry is still too young, we will have treats for the neighbourhood kids, and they all adored Henry's little skeleton costume last year!

7. Orange. The colour rather than the fruit. Yep, autumn means the colour orange EVERYWHERE and I love it.

8. Crispy leaves. For that obligatory feet in leaves shot that will grace every instagram feed from October to December.

9. Hot drinks. And I don't mean the pumpkin-spice variety. Any and all hot drinks, perfect for curling up on the sofa.

10. Netflix and TV. Because everyone refreshes for the new season in autumn, so TV just gets better. Probably because we're all going to be inside avoiding the British rain.

11. Log fires. You'll find me as close as humanly possible to any log fires, especially the one at Dann's parents house, because I love them. You just can't get more cosy.

12. That inbetweeny weather. It's cold enough for jumpers, but not too cold that you need a thick coat. It's sunny, but brisk. The light is soft and breezes minimal. It's pretty much the perfect weather for exploring.

13. Baking. I always get a bit more baker-like in autumn. It just doesn't feel right in the summer. Bring on the cakes and crumbles and pies!

14. Fireworks. So close to my birthday, and it's so British to hang around outside in the cold with hot tea, toffee apples and glittery skies, hoping for the clouds to stay away.

15. Fluffy socks. Padding round the house in pjs and fluffy socks at 6:30pm is always a winner in my books.

16. Red lipstick. Matte. In any and all shades. Autumn is the time for the bold stand out lip and I am all for it!

17. Shaving less. Because if your pins are being hidden under tights or trousers, why bother with the nightly shave!

18. Reading books. Preferably by a log fire with a cup of tea. But I'll also take it under thick duvets in bed surrounded by candles.

19. Candles. That glowy, pretty, sophisticated blogging bestie that make cold evenings all cosy and happy.

20. Everything Hygge. It's the season for all things hygge, and I'm very happy to hibernate away with hot drinks, blankets, candles and family.

21. Long hot soaks in the bath. With a lush limited edition Halloween item, candles (can you see a theme here) and a book! Pure pleasure.

22. Woodland walks. I just find them so much more satisfying in the autumn when you're rosy cheeked and the air is fresh. Plus getting home to snuggle on the sofa afterwards feels like a real treat!
