Cosy season is upon us
The leaves are falling and autumn is very much autumning this October. It’s been a month of settling into cosy season and embracing the autumnal dressing and wholesome nighttime rituals that come with this time of year. There’s been rich chocolate and burgundy shades galore, an avalanche of cult-worthy coat and boot trends to obsess over and new beauty and skincare favourites of mine to update you on. So let’s get started shall we!
Wonderskin Lip Tint
My overall top beauty pick of the month has to be Wonderskin’s Wonder Blading Lip Stain Masque. It was my ultimate beauty hack throughout Fashion Month and I haven’t stopped using it since. I apply it to the edges of my lips (it looks a little strange at first but trust the process) and leave on for three minutes. This is a little longer than suggested but I find this gives my lips the best natural-looking rosy colour. Then I wipe off with a tissue and voila!
It lets me subtly tweak the natural shape of my lips and makes them look fuller, plus it lasts the entire day. I’ve been loving finishing with my Buxom lip liner and Pat McGrath gloss for everyday makeup.

Medik8 Cream
A selection of trusty creams is EVERYTHING in your skincare routine so I had to make sure I found ones that work for me. Medik8 is one of my favourite skincare brands on the market because it’s all about science but it also likes to keep things simple. For day and night creams, I recommend the Daily Radiance Vitamin C SPF30 and Advanced Night Restore products. And if you’re looking to level up your daily skincare routine by adding a serum, my top pick is the Crystal Retinol 6.

Miu Miu Jacket
I love a good transitional jacket as autumn begins and I’ve been wearing this Miu Miu number on repeat. Boxy and oversized with statement gold hardware, it’s made from pure wool to keep me super snug but is more of a versatile layer than a big winter coat. I’m planning on teaming with Miu Miu’s matching mini skirt for as long as the weather permits but I also love styling it with simple jeans – the perfect look for dancing in leaves!

Biodance Sheet Masks
The start of autumn means self-care and my go-to brand at the minute is Korean skincare favourite Biodance. The Hydro Cera-Nol and Bio-Collagen deep mask sheets are my favourites for hydrating my skin and the perfect thing to slot into my autumn nighttime routine.
Agolde Jeans
A good pair of denim jeans is everything you need for autumn. Some people tend to shy away from lighter washes once summer ends but I’m still loving this pair from AGOLDE well into autumn. With my favourite knits of the season, transitional jackets and fully fledged cold-weather coats.

Mizensir Fragrance Celebes Wood
I like to go a little richer with scents as the colder months approach. For October, it’s been all about embracing classic autumn notes and the Celebes Wood eau de parfum from Swiss scent maison Mizensir does this perfectly. With cinnamon, cardamom, black vanilla pod and tonka bean, it’s sweet but not artificial. A few spritzes and I feel luxurious and ready for the day, even if I’m just in a cashmere set at home.
Saint Laurent Le Loafers
We can all rest assured in the fashion truth that a good loafer for autumn will never go out of style. My most worn so far this year are Saint Laurent’s Le Loafers. They’re gorgeous in dark chocolate suede (perfect for looks centred around autumnal browns) but I also recommend them in simple black leather if you want something super classic.

Prada Amarena P59 Lipstick
I’ve been going on about my love for the Prada Hyper Matte Nudes Lipstick for what feels like forever so if you’re not sick of me yet – well done! It’s nicely pigmented with a gorgeous matte finish and I love how its triangle shape makes it super easy to apply. The P59 Amarena shade is rosy but not too dark – perfect for softly glowing autumn makeup looks.
