Autumn.

Things and Thoughts about Autumn.

This is my first blog post and i thought i would dedicate it to Autumn. Today is one of the first days that i have really felt Autumn is upon us, the crisp weather, the layering of clothes to keep warm and leaves appear to have covered the ground like a blanket.. (also not forgetting that Starbucks have brought back Pumpkin Spiced Latte!)

So i thought i would start my very first blog post as the sky is littered with grey clouds and the temperature has dropped considerably! I am snuggled in my living room with my pyjamas and an oversized hoodie with a nice cup of tea behind me. Today is a lazy, typical, autumnal day. I love these kind of days though as you can catch up on everything and just have time to yourself, on a day like this i usually have a long hot bath and watch my favourite television series (Gossip Girl.) Im on Series 5 Episode 9 and 17 minutes into it...if anyone was wondering. 

I live in England so usually its very cold and rainy, so we have a very small gap to wear summer clothing and the rest of the year is spent in tights and jeans! Although, i love winter/autumn clothing so for me i don't mind at all! For my birthday my mum got me a black fur coat from Topshop which has been perfect for Autumn so far, its so warm and comfortable, it also looks great with anything as it is in a classic colour (black) which suits pretty much anything! I have usually been pairing my fur coat with ripped jeans which are also from Topshop in a dirty grey/black. I never thought i would wear ripped jeans but i really love them! They are SO comfortable and go with everything so well and are a key piece in my autumn/winter wardrobe alongside my fur coat! 

I have noticed that within the change of season i also change my music, i have started to listen to slower and warmer songs. I think i do this every year so its almost a tradition? I have a few songs that i've been loving lately and have fit my mood perfectly while i curl up on my laptop with a cup of tea. They are all songs that i have come across lately, and been non-stop listening to.

These are all my thoughts and things about Autumn so far, its a little jumbled and random but i have appeared to run out of things to say so i'll leave you with a Autumn Poem.


Pirouetting Autumn
Mark R Slaugher

The tree blushed - a rude blast of air
Betrayed a shapely bough.
My saddened heart aware
That Nature's clock was chiming,
I froze upon the twelfth
Clanging tone, caught alone,
Staring at a creaking door -
Left ajar for dancing, coloured Autumn,
Pirouetting in her leaves,
While agitated summer creatures
Backed away resignedly,
Sighing in protracted breves.
I turned; gave company;
We stood together, watching
Summer slowly blow away.
