1. Pumpkins
Pumpkins herald October. When I see or hear the word pumpkin, I think Halloween. I always thought that pumpkins were carved to keep bad spirits from your home? But I love them in the house in October because they look super cool and it's a great excuse for candles to be lit! They make your home festive and cosy and you can carve all sorts of designs on them. One thing I'm hoping to try this year is pumpkin flavoured food or drink- I need to get cultured.
2. Black Dress
I love this black dress. I think it's very Gothic and therefore goes with the time of year. The fabric is very soft and I also use this dress for Halloween parties. The dress was a steal from H&M. I'd searched everywhere for a black gothic dress and found none, or none that had a good price. I don't remember the price of this, but it must have been reasonable because I'm such a cheapskate
3. Toffee Apple
I'm hoping to try and make some of my own this year as I think it'd be pretty fun to do. This is basically a sugar loaded apple and when I say sugar loaded, I mean...sugar loaded, so I wouldn't recommend having too many of these. My top tip is to look at the apple underneath, because you don't want to crunch into the toffee outing and have a squished, horrible apple underneath. Also, check if the topping has solidified, sometimes, depending on where the apples have been stored, the sugar coating goes runny and comes off when you un-do the wrapper.
I also thought I'd add that there are also toffee apple flavoured ciders. I've actually tried this and it was quite nice, but I wouldn't have too many as they get sickly.
4. Jewellery Stand
This is my make-shift jewellery stand inspired by a friend and it really does the trick. I love hanging it on my shelf because the lights I have around the shelf set of my necklaces. It's a really good way to stop necklaces knotting, is a good way to store them and they look quite effective.
5. Overall Dress
This dress was £13 from Primark. Some other family members weren't too sure about this dress because they said it looked like what builders wear, but they're not exactly wrong are they. This corduroy dress is so soft and looks great over the top of a long sleeved jumper and thick tights, so I think this will be my go to outfit over the Autumn months.
6. Thick tights
Primark again! I think they do some really good tights, especially the shaper ones and for a good price! However, I'm talking specifically about the knitted selection that they have. The top of the tights can feel a little odd, almost as if you are wearing a pair of really tight shorts or a nappy, so you have to get used to that feeling. But they're really warm- I hate being cold so they're a must have for me.
7. Lights/Candles
Now that dark nights are here, I find it really comforting to have candles on or maybe just some fairy lights dotted about. There are some really cool designs out there and there are even some for the Halloween season
