Body Butter. During these colder Autumn/Winter months it's really important that you look after your skin, the colder weather and change in humidity can dry out your skin really bad, so I suggest you get a good moisturizer so your skin can enjoy the Autumn too! I would recommend the body shop body butters, my current favourite is Papaya but I also love the satsuma one. This is extra important if you have eczema like me as your skin can really suffer if you don't moisturize regularly. Focus on your knees and elbows especially!
Dark lips. One of my favourite Autumn trends is the dark makeup looks, burgundy eyeshadow and smokey eyes just make this part of year even more enjoyable! Dark lipsticks are perfect for this time of year, I feel like dark everything is perfect for Autumn. My choice dark lip at the moment would be Topshop's Wicked, however I'm excited to try out a bunch of lip colours this Autumn.
Eyeliner. Similar to dark lips, dark eye makeup is a nice Autumn trend so I recommend this PS love (Primark) liquid eyeliner to help you get your wing on fleek! Literally, get your most adventurous eye makeup out this Autumn!
Beanie. Hats are a great way of accessorizing per season, summer you'd wear a floppy hat or maybe a snapback. But for the colder months beanies definitely come in handy, whether you're going out shopping or just off to school a beanie can make your look more Autumn-y and keep your eyes warm at the same time, honestly cold ears is one of my pet peeves!
Coat. Pretty obvious, especially if you live in the UK! We need to buy a big puffy coat for the Summer so in Winter you want something similar to a ski suit. Obviously, that's not entirely realistic and honestly would ruin your #ootd so I recommend a parker coat, which were really on trend last year or a harrington jacket, I adore mine.
Combat boots. For the past few years combat boots have been a staple of my Autumn wardrobe and this year will be no exception, I do want to buy a new pair though because my current pair look like they've had better days.
Candles. Another fantastic thing about season-change is the candles! Going from Ocean Waves to Pumpkin Spice can be a big leap but it's a fun step. I love buying a few new candles every season to get me excited about the following months. Last year my favourite candle was a Yankee Candle called Autumn Leaves.
Dark nails. As with the makeup trends, nails are good dark too. My favourite shades are emerald green, burgundy, maroon, midnight blue, black, navy. So many lovely dark shades. Get those Autumn manicures going!!
Burgundy. This colour has had a few mentions already so far but it's because it is my ultimate Autumn colour, my whole wardrobe will be burgundy this year, I don't care. Burgundy is such a lovely colour, it can be worn as a dressy, fancy wine colour or you can casually wear it day to day. It's just perfect!
Baths. What is better than a nice hot bath after a long day? A nice hot bath after a freezing cold long day. You may be thinking freezing cold? I think your thinking of Winter but I'm not. Autumnal weather is almost exactly the same as Winter in Britain, we have two types of weather throughout the year, Icy cold and cold.
Those are all my essentials for Autumn, I have some fun blogposts and videos planned for the upcoming months so stay tuned and leave any requests in the comments. I know a few of you have asked for a makeup collection and storage video, but I promise once I am happy with my set up of storage and "organisation" I will film and have it up for you!!
