The Autumn Tag

On the rare occasion that I have a morning off, I am sat wrapped up in my comfies in front of Loose Women with a fresh pot of Earl Grey tea. Its days like this that really make me look forward to those cold short days. It sounds strange, but I just love rainy days and awful weather.  Saying as I have seen this tag floating around, I thought I'd escalate my excitement.



1. Favourite thing about Autumn?
Walks. If only I had a dog. I love layering on my new autumn/winter threads and going for a country walk with the company of someone special. Feeling all cosy, snuggling up in front of the fire with warm drinks, treats and a good film. Making or coming in from the awful weather to steamy homely dinners. And of course, I absolutely love the run up to Halloween and Bonfire Night. This time of year is just so exciting, there are so many events to look forward to.

2. Favourite Drink?
Earl Grey tea, hot chocolate and caramel lattes.

3. Favourite Scent/candle?
I love spiced smells. I recently stocked up on ‘ Autumn Bliss‘ and ‘Kitchen Spice’ yanke candles in preparation for those chilly miserable days. I literally had to hide them away from myself to avoid the temptation of burning them early.

4.  Best Lipstick?
MAC Ruby Woo for all year round. It is truly my all-time favourite. However for Autumn in particular I love Revlons ‘cherries in the snow’ and Rimmel 1000 kisses lip stain in ‘very berry’. They are lovely deep pinky berry colours which are just perfect for this time of year.

5. Go to moisturizer?
I always stick to simples light hydrating moisturiser, I am far too scared to switch it up in case I get spots! However, we’ll see how this one caters to my skin in the upcoming cold wintery months. I may have to change it.

6. Go to colours for the eyes?
Neutrals all year round to be honest. I like copper tones and dark browns like MAC Embark in the crease and lighter neutrals for all over the lid (all that glitters is lovely). For a night out I’ll darken it up for a smokier more smouldering look.

7.   Favourite music to listen to?
This just depends on my current mood, not the season haha.

8. Favourite clothes/outfits to wear?
My favourite clothes are autumn/winter for sure. I absolutely love bottle greens, maroon burgundy wine colours. I love to wear my red and blue tartan scarves with a thick pair of leggings and my Chelsea boots.

9.  Autumn Treat?
I’ve gone a bit WILD with ‘treats’ lately (slaps hand) I’d have to say my tweed Barbour jacket which was an absolute find at my local Barbour Factory Shop.

10.  Favourite place to be?
Lets go with places…I love to be snuggled up on the sofa or outside near the golden trees and fresh autumn air. Cafes or shopping with my friends. I also love going to my grandparents, especially at this time of year. I’m not quite sure why haha I suppose it’s just always so welcoming and cosy there. Family time is a big priority of mine.



Thank you for reading I’m going to leave now to drink the rest of my tea and get ready to face the wind, rain and work, boo hoo.
I tag YOU.
