Five Reasons To Embrace Autumn - Are You Feeling It?

Bye bye bikinis! See you later jandals!

The cooler months are coming - and we're ready for them!

We're done with watching our carefully applied makeup slide off our faces. Tired of our straightened hair rebelling. Done with all things light and bright. 

Sure. summer's great, but Autumn? Autumn's got a charm all of its own - and here's why we're here for it.

When your hair gets it frizz on during high humidity in summer there's no hiding the fact that it's a hot mess. But in Autumn you can rock a messy bun with a few strands of hair framing your face and it's stylish. Chic. Purposefully windblown. And super easy to pull together when you've missed your morning alarm because you've snuggled under the blankets a little too long.

In summer flushed cheeks are usually paired with sweat beading your forehead. In autumn flushed cheeks make you look like you've just enjoyed a brisk healthful walk around the park. Best of all? You can fake it with a good blush.

No. More. Shaving. Tuck the razor away. Hide the wax strips. Cover your legs and pits in cloth of some kind and let things run wild! 

When summer comes we are quick to kick off our shoes, trim our toe-nails and either apply nail polish ourselves or head to a salon to have it done for us. But hands up who, over the course of summer, get lazier and lazier at trimming or removing polish, or reapplying, and by the end of the season you're rocking gnarled patchy-coloured toes? Best bit about Autumn? You can cover those toesies up and forget about em for a good six to eight months. Maybe more if New Zealand decides spring's only showing up in the form of showers and chilly winds.

The last reason to love Autumn? Makeup, of course! Yes you can wear whatever colours you want anytime you want - but there's something delicious and cosy and ever so embracing of the season about pulling out a vampy purple nail polish, swiping a rich berry tone over your lips, or smoking up your eyes with darker shades to match the mood of the darker months.

Pass the hot chocolate. Load us up with Whittakers. Hit us up with binge-worth tv shows. We're ready...

Autumn. Bring it on!

So, are you a fan of all things autumnal? What do you love? What do you hate? And we're not joking when we say we want your tv recommendations...

Chat away!

I love the leaves how they change colour and yes can not have to worry about hairy legs yes I love the make up too and although it is colder it is better than too much heat great excuse to be cozy and lazy

I'm not fan the weather getting cold, but I am loving that beautiful shade of lippy. It gives me ideas to get new shades

I like early autumn. I get hayfever in all three seasons of the year except autumn. I love when the weather cools down a bit and you can sit or be comfortable after some days in summer where it's sooo hot you don't know what to do with yourself to cool down and get work done.

Love the not shaving and messy buns. My go to hairstyle.

3rd May, 2018

I guess what I love about autumn is having a real reason to have my electric blanket on (FYI it's on regardless of the season).

3rd May, 2018

I love autumn simply because I think I dress better when I can layer up. I feel my autumn/winter look is more interesting and in the summer I just look awkward. I actually did bronze, coppery eyes today and orange lipstick! I'm feeling it!

I love Autumn/winter fashion where you can be all warm and snug in the latest cosy thick jumpers and coats in the rich deep colours that are out.I also love spending at least one weekend day lazing on the couch with a snuggle blanket binge watching netflix and the like.

3rd May, 2018

I quit straightening because of that dreaded humidity. Yay no more shaving lol I can be lazy .

3rd May, 2018

I love the change in season.. hate the cold but the switch in makeup and hair is a fun change. Darker hair and more autumnal tones for autumn winter then come spring a switch to lighter locks and fun colours. Loving khaki and red tones at the moment. The letdown on Netflix was a quick and funny watch btw.

I love autumn - the cozy winter clothes, chunky jumpers and jeans! The brisk morning walk in the sunshine with the dog... My office is next door to the Whittakers factory - the whiff of cocoa in autumn/winter is lovely!! TV - I just started watching Alias Grace and loved The Sinner, The Americans, and re-watching Las Vegas....

3rd May, 2018

I love the purples and berry tones and warmer colours . We are lucky to have 4 distinct seasons as each season has a special feel with makeup and clothing.

2nd May, 2018

I love Autumn! I love digging out all my gorgeous boots and jackets and retiring my trusty jandals lol. Parking up and watching movies in the weekend, chilling with the fire cranked. I love not being a sweaty mess lol I hate the heat.

2nd May, 2018

I like the colours of autumn but not the cold and dark!
