| LIFESTYLE | My Favourite Season: Autumn

Autumn has rolled around again, and this pleases me greatly. In homage to my favourite season, I’ve listed some of my reasons why I just love this time of year!

©       Those bright sunny mornings but with a chill in the air
©       Chunky knit jumpers and scarves
©       Autumnal colours such as mustard, burnt orange and burgundy
©       Seeing rows of trees all turning different shades of yellow, gold and red
©       Crunching through the mounting piles of fallen leaves on the ground
©       The excitement of seeing pumpkins start to appear in supermarkets
©       Pumpkin picking!
©       Baking fruit pies and crumbles
©       Starting to add cinnamon to drinks or puddings…because you can!
©       Digging out the dark berry-coloured lipsticks and wearing darker colours of nail polish
©       That precious hour in the afternoon when the sun is starting to set, casting a golden light over everything
©       Dusting off your winter coat and feeling a bit excited to be wearing it out again
©       Wearing thick woolly socks- all day, every day!
©       Autumn scented candles such as apple cinnamon, salted caramel and spiced pumpkin
©       Starbucks Pumpkin spiced lattes!
©       Getting out all your throws and blankets and making a nest in the middle of them on the sofa
©       Lighting every candle you have because it’s the time of year to start getting cosy
©       Making plans for bonfire night and stocking up on sparklers and marshmallows



Have I missed any out? I'd love to know what your favourite part of Autumn is!

| HOME | The Mustard Edit

Mustard yellow is bang on trend at the moment. In most homeware stores, you are guaranteed to come across a mustard coloured item. Mustard is a pretty versatile colour. It can be used to add a pop of colour to a neutral backdrop, or even to brighten up a dark coloured sofa for example - my particular favourite is the combination of mustard and navy blue; I think the two colours compliment each other really well.  Here are 5 of my favourite mustard yellow homewares under £50.00 which are sure to cheer up your home!  Wild and Wolf 746 phone in English Mustard ( www.redcandy.co.uk ) £33.30 Mustard wool throw in English Mustard - 150cm x 183cm ( www.britishwoolblankets.com ) £49.00 Mustard and white zig zag chevron cushion ( www.zazzle.co.uk ) £25.25 Softness shaggy rug in Mustard - 60cm x 120cm ( www.therugseller.co.uk ) £34.99 Ecru frilled linen cushion cover ( www.zarahome.com ) £11.99   now on SALE at £4.99!

| HOME | A Look Inside AmysAnnexe's Home

My friend has recently moved into her own place, so I decided to pop over and pick her brain about all things homes and interiors!  Hi, I’m Amy (amysannexe on Instagram) and I’ve lived in my home for 3 months. I’m surrounded by fields and rolling countryside which I love as it’s very relaxing…the only downside is the creepy crawlies that decide to take up residence inside! I’ve got a lovely little garden where I can grow vegetables and lots of flowers. It’s so quiet and tranquil around where I live. Describe your interior style: I would describe my interior as country style with modern touches. I like to add grey and copper accessorises with neutral-coloured furniture. My style has changed over the last few years as I used to have quite a girlie interior with pastel pinks and duck egg blue. My style has definitely matured as I’ve got older.  Where do you take your inspiration from?   A lot of it comes from Instagram and Pinterest. My f...

| LIFESTYLE | How Gardening Helped My Anxiety

We are incredibly lucky to have a large balcony for a 1 bedroom rented flat (approximately 18 foot wide and 6 foot deep). Having said that, when we first moved in 7 years ago and at 21 years old, we weren't that bothered by utilising the outdoor space that we had. Neither of us at the time were particularly into gardening. In fact, my other half didn't even have an outdoor space at his previous home. We both agreed that "at some point" we would do something with it and our attention was focused solely on making the inside of our flat look nice.  Years passed and the weeds got bigger; we bought a cheap metal table and chairs for the balcony, but that was the extent of what we did with it.  The turning point for me came when I developed extremely bad anxiety at the beginning of last year. I struggled to leave the house or even venture out very far beyond my "safe zone" which was my home town. One day my parents asked if I wanted to come with them to a...
