While summer brings us holiday fun, warm weather and lots of bank holidays, I always breathe a sigh of relief when it gets to September. Why? I LOVE autumn. Gone are the sweaty pits, the indecision in what to wear to the office and the numerous, expensive plans, replaced by big fluffy jumpers, tights and boots and quiet time to yourself. Boring? No. Comfortable, my friends.
In autumn, you no longer need an excuse to live out your best recluse life because the weather is on your side. You can spend your days binge-watching Netflix under your duvet, refusing to move unless there’s hot chocolate involved and no one will judge you. It’s fantastic. And you know what’s even better? There’s no need to head out into the freezing cold weather to socialise because everyone wants to stay indoors. GLORIOUS.
Autumn is officially girls night in territory. Invite your BFFs to your pad and get ready to revel in the wonder that is drumroll... an autumn night in. We’ve rounded up everything you need for the perfect night, all of which you can purchase without leaving your house which, after all, is the end goal here.
