The Simple Things | Autumn

The evenings are starting to get longer, the weather is getting colder day by day and the winds and colours are changing; this all means one thing… it's officially Autumn and I am super excited. The satisfaction of jumping into colourful, crisp leaves like a big kid and wearing wellies with practically any outfit become socially acceptable; not to mention the brisk early morning walks (or sprint, if I happen to be walking the dog) and the beautiful Autumnal colours, not only on the trees but in beauty and fashion items as well, which complete almost every Autumnal outfit is something to favour in this season. 

Anyway, with Autumn well and truly under way, I thought that I would list ten things that I  just love about this delightful and colourful season and pretty much some up, why Autumn is just damn awesome: 

1. Jumping into crisp, colourful Autumn leaves. 
Yes, I know this sounds like something that you would only do if you were twelve years old but guess what… It's still fun to do - I'm like a big kid at heart. 

2. Golden Eyes and Berry Colours.  
I love wearing warm, golden tones for my make up look this time of year; I mean, I don't where this as my everyday look but sometimes on the weekend I like to make an effort. Also, I love warm berry colours; especially in nail polishes and on the lips but unfortantely I don't feel confident enough yet to wear the dark berry colours on my lips - maybe one day? 

3. Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Cinnamon. 
This is a truly simple things that I just love during this season. I have cinnamon in or on everything; from cereal to porridge, from candles to cakes {Cinnamon Swirl from Starbucks… Try one, I dare you; you'll never look back}

4. Chunky Scarves.
Having a chunky, warm scarf is a must and something every girl should have; I mean, don't you just love wrapping yourself up in a warm scarf and coat on a Autumn, frostbite morning. 

5. Flushed Rosy Cheeks. 
Most of the time when the cold, refreshing Autumn weather sets in, rosy cheeks are people's pet hate but I love having flushed, rosy cheeks; I have no idea why, I think it just looks so nature. 

6. Evenings In {with Hot Chocolate and a movie}
When the cold evenings set in, there is nothing more satisfying than wrapping yourself up in a blanket with a hot drink, a movie and a scented candle burning - perfection! I mean, I am all for going out but sometimes those evenings in are the best. 

7. Wellies. 
Those long, chilly, Autumnal walks wouldn't be complete without those brightly-coloured and Khaki green wellington boots. 

8. Red Cups.
Any Starbucks lover will know that Autumn isn't just a time for pumpkin-spiced lattes; it is also the official countdown to the Starbucks Christmas red cups launch. 

9. Fireworks. Sparklers. Bonfires. 
In all social calendars there is one night a year, where everybody dresses up in the winter woolies, put on their warmest shoes and heads out to celebrate Guy Fowke's night otherwise known as Bonfire night. On this night the temptation to grab a sparkler and write your name as many times as you can before it burns out is something that everyone loves to do - even if you're an adult! 

10. That Christmasy Feeling… 
Autumn means one thing, Winter is on its way and that means Christmas is too. Although, it annoys me that radio stations start playing Christmas songs in November and card shops get there Christmas cards out as early as September, sometimes August; it is one of my favourite times of the year and with the cold weather setting in, you just get that ultimate Christmasy feeling, especially when Halloween and bonfire night are over. 

Until next time when another seasonal change occurs, Au Revoir! 
Love, 
Lauren xo
