HEY OCTOBER!
You look kinda cute.
I think I like you.
And it's true. October has to be one of my favourite months of the year (after December obv, coz ye know... Christmas!)
When it hits October, you finally begin to accept it's officially Winter, and therefore Christmas (and my birthday) are just around the corner. It's cheerie bye to Summer shorts and skirts and hello to Winter knits and wooly scarves! Here are a few of my favourite things I love about this month...
1) COLOURS
The leaves falling from the trees look oh so pretty. I love the crisp cold mornings and beautiful warm colours of the leaves clinging for life onto the trees or scattered across the grass.

2) FASHION
I surely can't be the only one who walks up the high-street or through the Shopping Centre or surfs the net with a head full of outfit ideas and a purse full of nothing?
(Yes, I have an A-list style with a Z-list budget. Don't most girls have this issue?!)
But Autumn has to be my most FAVOURITE season for fashion. Tying in with the gorgeous warm colours, and the transition from Summer still fresh in mind, it's exciting to come up with new #ootd's drawing inspo from the catwalk and the high street retailers.
I've already made a few purchases of key pieces and I cannot wait to try them out and style them!
I also surely can't be the only one that's excited about trying out new trends either, right?
3) BERRY LIPS
Tis the season for a bold lip colour to warm up your complexion now that the summer tan is fading *sigh*.
Berry colours are like, so totally in right now, and if I'm honest I was scared to try one out at first. But some of the colours are so beautiful, I couldn't resist! And it's fun to experiment with colour and come out of your comfort zone every so often. Lipstick isn't something I wear all the time, but when I do, I like to go a bit dramatic, especially with the ol' berry colours this season.
Current faves: Rimmel Kate Moss colour no. 30
Mac "Dare you"
Revlon "Black Cherry"
4) HOT DRINKS
For those who know me, I am NOT a tea or coffee drinker. At all!
Shock Horror, I know, but it's true.
Yet, there is something oddly satisfying for me this month when I have walked to work in the mornings and am finding myself craving tea as soon as I unravel my scarf. I think I have officially turned Welsh... or grown-up?
I don't know which one scares me most.
5) WEEKENDS IN
This is a given.
Saves you money for Christmas. Saturday night TV got a little better and trying to pick a night-out outfit for the Winter months can be a daunting task. I just want to be warm but look fab simultaneously, okay?!?!
Jeeeez.
And I'm more of a "legs oot" kinda gal. I don't like covering my 38" inch legs with black tights because a) I can't find any bloody long enough and b) I can always buy fake tan, right?
