5 Things to Love About Autumn

I think it's pretty safe to say Autumn has arrived. Leaves are falling, the weather is getting colder and the days shorter. If you're out if pouring rain or freezing cold it's easy to forget about how lovely Autumn can actually be, so just incase you're having one of those days here are five of my favourite things about our current season:

1. Hat Weather

Personally I'm a bit of a hat person, the Topshop Pork Pie hat I received last Christmas being one of my favourites. But whether it's a favourite fedora or much loved beanie hat weather is definitely something to be embraced!

2. Cosy Hot Chocolate Nights

There's nothing quite like curling up when it's dark and raining or a bit stormy with your hot chocolate to watch a movie or read a good book. It's the kind of thing that the Autumn/Winter season was made for. Incidentally I recently started working at Costa and can thoroughly recommend a Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, it's definitely the best hot chocolate I've had so if you're passing one pop in and pick yourself one up.

Ok, so this one is more fairytale than reality but there's definitely something about fallen leaves while they're still fresh and crisp.

4. Autumn Fashion

Already partially covered by hats, autumn fashion is the comfiest cosiest style that there is without being totally lazy. It's cold enough that you can wear tights, oversized sweaters and ankle boots but not so cold that you'll freeze half to death without 5 layers surrounding your outfit, it's a perfect balance.

5. Bonfire Night

Remember, remember the 5th of November. Maybe it's a little strange to be celebrating the burning of someone but Bonfire Night is my favourite autumn holiday, I love the huge fires, fireworks, sparklers, roasted marshmallows and another excuse for hot chocolate. 

So that's it, my Autumn five, what would yours be?
