Motivational Monday – one word to inspire your month. Here in the UK the clocks have gone back which means it will be getting darker earlier. It’s the perfect excuse to start getting COSY.

I’ve already spent last month preparing for the change in the calendar. There are two things that I love about this time of year. The feeling when you come home and close the curtains to the world can’t be beaten. It’s just you and the sanctuary of your home. Turning down the lights, lighting a few candles, grabbing a blanket and all of a sudden you’re enveloped in a cosy bubble. Even more decadent is to spend a day on the weekend like this watching movies or reading books. With the Autumn chill turning to Winter cold, it’s time to get out your cashmere and boots. My Winter style uniform consists of blanket scarfs, oversized cashmere jumpers and suede boots. This is my favourite season for clothes and I’ve already invested in new suede navy and black ankle boots. I’m also on the look out for a new navy cashmere jumper. Style and being cosy can go hand in hand. It won’t be long before it’s looking a lot like …….

 

All you need is hot chocolate and warm socks

 Be grateful for the cosy little moments in life

Oh dear I really ought to do something, but I’m already in my PJs

Hold on to whatever keeps you warm inside

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire. It’s the time for home.
