Scarf accenting, outfits for the changing weather, beauty advent calendars are landing and the books in my basket

The autumn switch has been well and truly flicked, there’s so many good collections and pieces landing, it’s hard to keep up. A new season can feel overwhelming but most of the time, all it takes is a few things to inject a fresh direction into our wardrobes, beauty shelves and homes. Identify the gaps in your line-up - a good knitwear in a colour you don’t already own, comfy footwear to wear daily now that the flip-flops are back in storage, a candle to bring hours of lift to cosy evenings or a new book to invest your time into. Seek out the things that will make a difference.

Some things I’ve been styling/wearing/using/coveting/eyeballing…

Scarf Accenting

Small tweak, big impact on outfits. Make everything chic and cosy with this key new season accessory

Triangle scarves: Hush Grey Alpaca blend, M&S Chocolate brown, Arket black wool, M&S Chocolate brown, Arket Dark brown Alpaca-wool blend, Katie Loxton triangle blanket, Mint Velvet brown wool

Styling scarves in multi-ways is an accessory trend I’ll happily take from the summer months and continue into autumn/winter. I can’t remember the last time scarves felt so fresh and relevant, with triangle scarves getting a snug upgrade for AW25. I’ve tried on the small cashmere triangles at Arket (soft but on the small side, more neckerchief), the larger ones they have are much better. M&S’s super soft chocolate brown option has been tied on top of my jumpers, coats and jackets for the past week. A detail that makes every autumn outfit feel special - and £26 well spent.

I’ve linked these scarves on my LTK and here

The boots are back out and jackets are getting a moment again

One minute we’re basking in a heatwave, the next, there’s morning mist and it’s a test to see how long we can go without putting the heating on. Bridging the seasons I always rely on a few simple wardrobe components to make life easier: good tailoring, great jeans, simple tees, knitted layers, a trench, Penny loafers, jacket-cardigan hybrids, this chocolate brown suede tote has been handy, trainers in an autumn tone, a chuck-on barn jacket for showers and suede, low-heeled boots.

Storing away my favourite basket bags always feels end-of-summer final, but getting this Demellier New York tote out of its dust bag is always a pick-me-up. One bag that pulls together every work look - it fits my big MacBook and Smythson chunky notebook and all the other millions of things I need for work (and mum life). I’ve had the black for a few years and this chocolate brown suede version does look so nice.

The Beauty Briefing

Advent calendars are back, here’s the ones that look really, really good

After the paywall you’ll find: the beauty advent calendars I’m coveting, collagen recommendations, a new eye retinal serum from Boots, moisturisers I’m using to protect from the autumn chill (and heating), books by brilliant women I’ve added to my reading and cooking list, plus brand inspo from a recent research trip.
