Cadbury Mini Eggs

What can I say? ‘Tis the season. That crispy sugar shell. Yes. A thousand times yes.

Gilmore Girls

I haven’t watched Gilmore Girls since it was first on telly back in the early 2000s. I’m binge-watching it from the start because, you know what? It’s pretty great. I want to live in a perpetual autumn / perpetual coffee wonderland where I too can dazzle people with my witty banter and effortless hair. It’s a sweet show, and a smart one, and I’m finding it thoroughly worth revisiting. (Side note: how had we all forgotten that Sebastian Bach was a recurring actor in this? How, I ask you?).

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes

I love a good nail polish and I am loving these! The wide brush makes for easy application, the colours are opaque after two coats, and they come in a nice range of colours that are reasonably long wearing. Berry Important has been a staple on my nails the last few months.

My planner

I’m a busy person. Last year I struggled to keep everything organised and I was the queen of double booking and forgetting when things (like… bills, for example) were due. This year I am making sure I am super organised thanks to my big ol’ planner. I’m very visual and a bit old school, so having a physical planner works for me. I have a red Debden exec-style one which ran the risk of being a bit drab, but I’ve updated it with some Kikki-K dashboard accessories and some other doodads which make it my own.

Autumn colours: Mustard

Red hair and yellow anything is a precarious combo at the best of times, but I’ve latched onto this whole autumn / mustard trend revival with some Mamas and the Papas level appreciation for all the leaves being brown and the sky being grey. There is apparently just enough brown in the shade to work with my weird freckly / ginger complexion – I just wish I was whimsical enough to pull off a wide brimmed winter hat.

‘Til next time,
