So it's officially autumn although I'm pretty sure the weather decided to start it early this year. At the moment I'm sat writing this on a chilly evening in my pjs, thick socks with a cup of tea next to an open fire- could I get any more into Autumn? This season is definitely my favourite and not just because its my birthday in November, check out my reasons for loving autumn below!
Hot choclates and lots of tea
Need I say more? I don't really need an excuse to drink tea as I consume a lot no matter what the season but coming in from a chilly trip outside to a lovely warm cup of tea is one of lifes little pleasures come this time of the year. Now this may be a big shock given the fact about 99% of bloggers are obsessed with Starbucks pumpkin lattes but I've never tried one and always opt for hot chocolates when out, however this year I'm going to take the plunge and see what all the fuss is about. Also I have perfected a coloured white hot chocolate recipe that will be up in time for Halloween.
Home comfort food
There is nothing better then those home made meals that you have in the colder months. I'm talking soups and crusty bread, shepherds pies, slow cooked stews and I sharn't mention the yummy desserts- Apple pie and custard!
Halloween, Bonfire Night and My Birthday!
Dressing up, Halloween parties, scary movies, bonfires, toffee apples, fireworks, sparklers, presents. Enough said really! But I'm always super happy round this time of the year.
Open Fires
Im so lucky to be now living in a house with an open fire. It creates a picture perfect autumn and winter setting to snuggle up to on an evening and I cant wait to get the marshmallows out.
Bath Time
Coming in from the cold and running a lovely warm bath is so more pleasing in Autumn and I suspect I will be making a trip to Lush soon for some bath time goodies to help and relax and unwind.
Every night is a snuggle and tv night
When its cold and dark every evening is the best excuse to be in your pjs with a duvet watching tv. I find the best Saturday night tele is in autumn and winter and all the best tv series start again around this time if the year. At the moment Im waiting for Once Upon a Time, The Walking Dead and Pretty Little Liars and in the meantime there is Strictly, X Factor and Downton Abbey!
A/W Fashion
Is it just me that prefers autumn and winter fashion? The colours, the cute dresses with tights, winter coats and boots. I just always enjoy dressing for the colder months then I do in Summer. I'm loving the 70's trend at the moment am currently trying to get a polo neck jumper in every colour.
Autumn Views
Drawing back the curtains in the morning in Autumn and seeing the leaves change colour, start to fall whilst lit by a low autumn sun is all the more lovely having the comfort of being all warm and snug whilst it's cold outside.
