OCTOBER FAVOURITES

FASHION

I kept the spending to a minimum in October, but did treat myself to these waxed kangaroo leather converse from Office, since you should never turn down a pair of half price shoes.

SEWING

My favourite creations of the month were this dark berry monster with a plum polka dot bow tie, and a mustard yellow owl. The monster was a customer order and I just love the purple tones they chose. You can view my monster listings here and choose from a range of bow ties when you order! The mustard owl will be available to order from tomorrow, but you can browse the other colours right here.

ETSY

I mentioned SourpussKnits in my previous 'Etsy favourites' post, but couldn't help featuring it in my monthly favourites as well. I love, love, love these beautiful knitted creations and can't wait to get my hands on one.

BEAUTY

I've been obsessed with the Barry M autumn collection this month, especially mustard. There's seem to be a bit of a mustard theme going on lately..

MUSIC

I've had James Bay on repeat since Tanya Burr mentioned him in one of her vlogs a few weeks ago. You can purchase his music on Amazon and I can assure you it's well worth the teeny tiny price tag!

YOUTUBE

I have particularly enjoyed watching vlogger FunForLouis on his travels from India to America this month. His videos are beautifully shot and give me a serious case of wanderlust. His channel is one of my absolute favourites and I highly recommend you go and subscribe if you're interested in travel!


I hope you enjoyed my monthly favourites. What did you enjoy in October?

AUTUMN NAILS

Firstly, I am no beauty blogger and I understand that pretty much everyone has already raved about this collection. However I wanted to try something a little different and post about a product that I am particularly loving at the moment. I'm not one for spending lots of my hard earned pennies on experimenting with make up. I prefer to just find products or brands that I like and stick with them. One of the items I enjoy the most, and could not live without, is nail polish. Barry M is one of those brands I have never been disappointed by and I am absolutely obsessed with their beautifully coloured, affordable nail polishes. When this autumn collection launched, I made the most of the 3 for 2 offer in Superdrug and purchased mustard, chilli and chai. Mustard is my absolute favourite. It's super cute, bright and playful, and reminds me of crunchy leaves. I enjoy adding a splash of colour at this time of year, especially on my nails, as it sits beautifully alongside grey, burgundy and other dark tones that I'm likely to dress in.

A few of my older shades that are also appropriate for autumn include berry cosmo, raspberry, watermelon and mocha. Delicious.

What nail colours are you enjoying at the moment?
