Happy Autumn to those who celebrate! It’s mid-September, and it’s been raining non-stop for the last two days. The trees are covered in different shades of orange and red, and there’s a new chill in the air. Foggy mornings accompany me on my walk to work. These dark and moody days give my town the … More Autumn 2024 mood board, bucket list and books
There are a lot of ways to celebrate the autumn and Halloween season. For me, I like to take long walks around the park when the leaves are changing and collect cute pumpkins in multiple colours and shapes. I love trying out new recipes with seasonal items, and I hoard pumpkin spice candles as much as the next girl, but one thing I always do is spend my evenings watching autumnal and Halloween movies. … More Autumn and Halloween movie calendar for October
Depending on where you live, autumn might have already started to show its colours. For me, it’s been this past week that the leaves have turned, and the air has gotten colder. The days are shorter, and the streets are decorated with leaves in the warmest colours. Red, orange, yellow and brown stand out against … More Autumn 2023 bucket list: Books, activities, and aesthetics
Last month, while browsing the magazine aisle in my local M&S, the new issue of Love Embroidery caught my eye. It had a stunning white pumpkin hoop on the cover, and I knew I had to get it.

I’ve noticed since I’ve gotten older that the colder months affect me more than they used to. I love autumn and winter, rainy days, cold walks in the woods, long scarves… I spend my summers wishing for days like these, but when the time comes, the cold weather also affects my moods in ways I’m not used to. … More How I’m coping with SAD (Seasonal affective disorder)

I started October with one of the best autumnal activities, visiting a pumpkin patch. We drove to a farm thirty minutes away from the city, and it was like stepping into another world. While in the town where I live, people seem unaware that it’s autumn and all the shops are instead displaying Christmas stuff, the farm was full of pumpkins in all sizes and colours, and it was decorated for Halloween. … More Visiting a pumpkin patch
It’s officially autumn! After an endless summer full of heat waves and ice tea, autumn graces us with her presence. The air is getting colder, the brown leaves are falling, and my closet has returned to its preferred form, full of cardigans, sweaters and witchy boots.
Autumn is my favourite season, and one thing I love besides the cold weather and the turn of leaves, is autumn books. These are books either set in autumn, have spooky and witchy vibes or both. I wanted to include a combination of books I’ve read and loved, with books on my to-read list. I mainly chose newish books, from the last five years or so, with a few exceptions. I’m obviously missing a lot of good books, but these are the ones I want to read this season. … More Spooky books to read in autumn
Isn’t it crazy that it’s already late September? Autumn’s just started, I’m back in England, and I already have my autumn clothes out. But it feels like the weather hasn’t caught up with the season yet. The air in my town is still warm, most trees are still green, and there are no pumpkins in sight. Every time I look out the window and see someone wearing shorts, I get so frustrated. Where is my autumn? … More Autumn bucket list
