Autumn Favourites

It is official, CHRISTMAS is on it's way. I know this for a number of reasons. Not only because we are now in November and the temperature is dropping rapidly but because shops are now playing Christmas songs, cards are splashed across the shelves, stocking fillers are on offer and oh yes, I have seen the Coca Cola advert.

It is time to list some of my Autumn favourites so far. Things that I could probably live without BUT I would definitely not want to. Things that keep me warm and have the autumn feel. Some of these items are from the current collections in stores but others I have recycled from last Autumn/Winter-check me out!


The authentic look, pixie shape, bright orange colour and oober cute fox face is what drew me instantly to these gorgeous bootie slippers. I received them last year for Christmas, purchased from H and M and I pray they do them again this year, so I can buy a spare pair. They are so dainty but keep my feet nice and toasty. I am so in love with them!



This monochrome dogtooth scarf, is also from last year. This was from River Island and I think it is perfect because it manages to complete an outfit. The simple yet, bold pattern is subtle yet striking. It is the perfect accessory as not only is it bang on trend but it also manages to keep me warm. I am really in love with big, thick chunky scarves at the moment but this is my favourite out of the ones that I have.



Featured a couple of blog posts ago, this is a coat purchased from New Looks current range. It is a wool blend, straight, collarless styled coat and works perfectly over any outfit. I love the deep pockets, an essential when I have left the gloves at home. I mostly wear this as a smart coat, avoiding all rain. This is definitely my favourite coat of the season!



It is strange because I never really buy pyjamas but I was fed up of not having a cute matching pair, ready for the colder seasons. I am a real sucker for Christmas so found it essential that I bought a pair with a Christmassy theme. The gingerbread men are so cute and I love the red festive bottoms. These were purchased from Matalan's current collection for an amazing £10. It is strange, that a matching pair of snug pyjamas can make a nights sleep more comfortable.


This top doesn't exactly tick the 'warm' category. However I think we can make an exception due to the lovely brown mustard shade that I think really reflects the season that we are in. It is such a simple top and works perfectly with a pair of high waisted jeans, chunky boots and a leather jacket. It is currently in the H and M autumn/winter collection and a piece that I feel can be worn for a majority of the year.


I purchased these shoes a couple of months ago, so there is the chance they could still be in New Look. They are honestly the most comfortable heeled shoes I have ever worn.  They look lovely with a pair of skinny jeans and really add an edgy look to an outfit. Plus they are so easy to walk in thanks to the chunky heel- I can't be dealing with the skinny heels that feel as though they could snap. If you are looking for a pair of comfortable going out shoes, I heavily recommend these!


Although I was in love before the tour, since seeing him live I have fallen even further in love. Although this album has been my favourite since it was released in June, I can't stop listening to it. I also recommend his new book. He doesn't show off in it, he really delves deep into the story as to how he became the most perfect singer songwriter to date (my words, not his) and the illustrations are so personal and different. Plus he brought them out in my favourite colour to! Seriously recommend the both of these and well anything to do with Ed Sheeran really.


So I have taken a slightly different approach to my blog this time, due to being so busy and not having the best of weather, going out hasn't really been easy. I hope you like these items an they inspire you to get some lovely new autumn pieces.

Thank-you very much for reading,
