Autumn Appreciation

Does anyone find that over the Summer months you want the heat to last forever? You start dreading the colder months and want to spend all day every day lounging on the beach in the sun, wearing shorts or hanging out with your friends.

Summer went way too quick this year. One minute I was on the beach in Cornwall, the next i found myself packing up my schoolbag ready for the new term. Year 11. That's the main reason i didn't want summer to end, GCSE year. And that can only mean one thing, endless hours of coursework and revision.


Every year I dread having to go back to wearing trillions of layers and dodging walking straight into muddy puddles on my way to school.


But I think what I forget is just how amazing the Autumn actually is. So here is my list of things I really love about the Autumn Season.


1. Jumpers

The thing I probably look forward to most about Autumn is the fact that i can start wearing baggy jumpers again without overheating or anyone making a fuss. I'm not a fan of jumpers that are too tight and cling to you too much. So any excuse to wear a bagy jumper is perfect really. I may start wearing a shirt underneath my jumpers this year because I am a huge fan of the collar trend.

2. Colours

When I think of autumn , I immeadiately think of Red, Brown & Orange. These are my favourite colours so it makes Autumn just that little bit nicer. All the leaves are changing colour which, i think, makes nature just that little bit more beautiful. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it.

3. Hot Drinks

All year round I am a huge supporter of hot drinks. But during Autumn it really makes you feel warm inside because the temperature is starting to drop outside. I also love seasonal coffees etc. from Starbucks and Costa. last year Starbuck's had a pumpkin one which was absolutely heavenly and Costa had a mint one which was very refreshing, also.

4. Fluffy Boots

Don't get me wrong, when the times right I am a lover of sandals and pumps but there's just something special about getting to wear fluffy boots again. It's a well known fact that if your feet are cold then its likely that the rest of your body will be cold as well. Why suffer, when there is such a simple solution? Fluffy boots!

5. Autumnal/Winter Candles

My favourite scent of all time is Cinnamon. And around this time of year they tend to bring out lots of cinnamon smelling products. My favourite has to be the candles though. I always think candles are really cute and the scent makes them extra special. I can't wait to stock up!

6. Halloween

I don't tend to do much on halloween but when I was a kid it used to be the highlight of my year. Dressing up all scary and meeting up with my friends for parties or trick or treating used to be so much fun! I love seeing all the children in their outfits when they come to my door!

7. Fair

Okay. So not everyone has this but in my town in mid-october the annual charter fair comes to my town. Basically, what it is is a massive funfair which, overnight, is set up on the roads in the town centre. It's so much fun and I lok forward to it every year because i am such a lover of rides. It's also an excuse to meet up with all my friends which is nice.

8. Wooly Hats & Scarves

I'm sensing a clothing theme here :p Bobble hats are my fave! Apart from the fact that I tend to get very cold ears this time of year, I just love that you can use a hat to acessorise a autumn/winter outfit. The same with scarfs (although, i tend to find my neck gets very hot).

9. Seasonal Anti-Bac

This is a little joke one for Phoebe :p Before school started, i bought a Pumpkin-Cinnamon Anti-Bac from Ebay and it smelt so good (it's all gone now) ! The word "anti-bac" has kind of caught on as an inside joke between us and so I thought it deserved a mention here.

10. Fireworks

I love fireworks. I know they're bad for the environment and scare/injure animals (which i dont agree with) but i love how pretty they are. No matter how old I get I will always look forward to the firework diaplay in my town. And, again, it's a chance to meet up with my friends :)

And there we have it! My 10 most favourite things about Autumn!
