When I first sat down to write this, it was supposed to be an autumn wishlist. A calm, sensible list of things I’d like for the season ahead. Unfortunately, my lack of any self-control has turned it into something else entirely – a round-up of what I’ve actually bought. So here we are.
Dior Perfect Skin Foundation Stick
I’d convinced myself I didn’t need another foundation, but this has already become a staple. It gives skin that even, polished look without feeling heavy, and it’s perfect for days when I don’t want to spend ages blending.
Rhode Toasted Teddy Blush
The hype is very much real with this one. It’s that perfect warm flush that makes you look like you’ve just been outside in the cold air. Easy, flattering, and very autumn.
Barefoot Dreams Blanket
Yes, I caved. Everyone talks about these, and they really are as soft as promised. It hasn’t left the sofa since it arrived. I had the robe already, so I knew it was a really robust, long lasting piece.
Memree Jam on Toast Candle
I couldn’t resist this. It’s not arrived yet, but I’m hoping it’s going to smell exactly as you’d hope – warm toast and sweet jam – without being overly sugary. I’m extremely excited about this arriving, argh!
Skims Soft Lounge Ribbed Sleep Set in Phoenix
Chocolate brown pyjamas that feel as good as they look. I have about seven pairs of these (hello over-consumption final boss), and I just couldn’t resist the new colour. They’re ridiculously soft and make me want to stay in them all day.
Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser Pod
They’ve only gone and bloody updated it and made one that does both hot and cold drinks. Bank account didn’t really need them to do this to be honest… my cosy inner soul did. Sorry to say I love it – especially the new cold flavours. It makes hot chocolate feel like more of an event, which feels very right for autumn evenings.
Oversized V Neck Sweatshirt – Deep Taupe
Simple, comfortable, and the kind of thing I’ll wear constantly. It’s slightly oversized without being shapeless, and the colour works with everything.
Maebe Zip-Up Hoodie Tracksuit Set
Not sure I’d purchase this full price to be honest – but they went and put a sale on didn’t they… and clearly saw me coming. I can’t deny it’s a very good quality piece, and I’m more impressed than I thought I would be, but yeah – happy with the sale purchase, just slightly too overpriced in my opinion when not on sale.
