Little Ways To Spice Up Your Room For Autumn!

1) Fairy lights!

This is a pretty obvious one but I still do think that it's an essential when revamping your room. I love fairy lights because they give a room a warm, cosy feel and they coincide beautifully with candles! These ones I have here are LED christmas ones my parents' have had for yonks! They have different settings but pairs very similar are available on Amazon.

As they are so long I decided to string them across my curtain pole, so they drape down either side.

2) This leads me on to my next point; cushioned areas! I have an old ottoman that holds old schoolwork and supplies for my GCSE art, although on top, it is the perfect sitting area if you don't quite have enough room for a small sofa of some sort. I don't have a blanket in this image, but make it cosy by adding throws and blankets so you can sit there and watch movies or your favourite programmes. The cream cushions are from Next, the white heart cushion is from Primark and the oath coloured one is homemade.

3) CANDLES CANDLES CANDLES! I loveeee candles and I light them every season of the year, however for autumn I light halloween-themed ones such as Pumpkin Spice and Sunset Sands; aswell as tea lights in lanterns! I also have a few from yankee candle, my favourite being Sparkling Cinnamon and Cinnamon Stick.

4) Textures! Throws, furry cushions and plumped duvets, scream autumn! I have a lovely furry duvet set that I use for autumn and winter but it's not shown in the image here - just imagine it...
I still have my ditsy print duvet set on here, but for autumn I prefer to just layer up with onesies and fluffy socks to make myself feel more cosy when its super cold!

5) This can be done all year round, however I think polaroid pictures really personalize a room and give it a homely feel. I don't own a polaroid so instead I printed the pictures off on glossy paper and cut them into a polaroid frame - pretty much the same really! This way you can print more pictures off and use images you really like. For autumn, images go you and your friends, leaves, coffees and candles, really set the mood...

Hello! Long time no see! It's finally the half term, and Halloween is almost here! So I thought I would start a new autumn/winter series where I show you one OOTD per blog post up until december. This first one is extremely casual and I must admit, white jeans are definitely my essential all year round, they go with every thing and look really nice with warm toned scarfs and boots.

The images I have here were taken by a good friend of mine, when she came over. We were mucking around on my camera, but she managed to take some really nice ones, although ignore some of the poses as they were mostly for a laugh!

Here, I am wearing my-oh-so-loved black leather jacket from Forever 21, which was around £15.
I paired this with a black off-the-shoulder top from Primark that was around £8 and my Jeans which were also from Primark! I wore my rose gold watch that I was given for christmas and some extra jewelry such as a diamond stone bracelet & a delicate heart necklace, which were also gifted to me on various occasions.

Thats pretty much it! The next OOTD is a more dressy one I have planned and a lost more cosy-looking, as this one is very casual and simple.

Until next time,
