10 Things I Love About Autumn/Winter

My favourite season has got to be autumn and winter. I love it when the seasons change from summer into autumn as it means the nights draw in and become darker. I get to put away my shorts and sandals and bring out the jeans and boots and I get another excuse to drink more tea! 

I thought it would be a nice idea to share with you why I love autumn so much in 10 ways. Trust me, there are loads more but these are just a few. 

Let me know in the comments what your favourite season is and why you love that season in particular. 


1) Getting to cosy up in loads of blankets 

I love it the weather changes from being hot to really cold. I have always loved the cold nights and days of winter and if it snowed I was always out there making the most of it. One thing I love about autumn is getting really snug in the evenings and curling up on the sofa watching some trashy TV, with a blanket and a cup of tea, while it is really cold outside. Even if I am the perfect temperature I still love to grab a blanket to curl up with, just to make myself more cosy.

2) Reading a book 

Although you can read books in the summer (which I also love to do), I always prefer reading in the evenings. Before going to sleep, I always like to read another chapter of my book, before switching off the light. This always makes me more sleepy and tired, putting me into the perfect mood to go to sleep. I know you can read a book at any time, but during the summer if you want to read outside or on holiday I always find the sun gets in my eyes and I can never concentrate for long before I find something that distracts me. At the moment I am currently reading Insurgent and am loving every minute of it.


3) Wearing Boots 

I love wearing boots when the colder months come along. I am not a big lover of sandals or flip-flops, so when I get to change up my footwear and put away the open-toed shoes and dust off my winter boots, I get extremely excited.

4) Candles 

Another aspect of autumn/winter I love is getting to light your candles in the evening. I love the look a simple candle can give to a room and it automatically makes the house more homely and cosy to live in. As well as looking snug, a candle can give off the most amazing smells and scents making it even more enjoyable. My favourite types of scents are normally cinnamon and spice scents as they just remind me of Christmas, putting me in the festive spirit.


5) A Cup Of Tea 

I absolutely love tea! I am constantly drinking it, and now that is is officially autumn, it gives me another excuse to drink more tea to keep warm! I love drinking tea when it is cold and wet outside and I'm snug in the warm with a blanket and a good book.


6) Chunky Knits

I think every girl loves it when autumn and winter arrives, and we get to snuggle up in our big chunky jumpers and cardigans to keep us extra warm. I have done a blog post a couple of months ago on A/W Jumpers, and I picked out my favourite jumpers this season, so if you want to read that, then click here

7) Movie Nights 

I know you can watch movies any time of the year, but when the nights draw in and it is horrible weather outside, you can snuggle up on the sofa, switch on a chick flick, grab a cup a tea, blanket and hoodie and watch a good old movie, to distract you from the rain and wind outside. I am also thinking about doing a blog post of my favourite chick flick/romantic comedy films, so let me know in the comments if you would like to see that.

8) Rainy Days 

Another thing I love about autumn/winter is the weather. This might sound so weird that I love horrible, wet and windy weather, but I am not a summer girl. I prefer to be cold than warm any day, so I especially love it when the temperatures drop and the sun goes away and the rain starts to fall. I think part of the reason I don't mind the weather being horrible is because in England, the weather is always raining so I am so used to it.

9) Big Scarves

A massive plus for fall is the fact I can get my scarves out again. I am such a scarf wearer and I have so many of them, so when I have the chance to wear them again, I cannot wait. I love putting on a massive scarf or snood to wear when going outside, as they are so comfortable, cosy and warm, plus they make a great accessory.

10) Winter Nights 

And finally.... Winter Nights. I love it when the clocks turn back and it becomes much darker, that way I know that autumn/winter has officially begun. The winter nights are always better when it becomes closer to Christmas as the lights and decorations start to arise and it puts everybody in the festive spirit.
