Trick or Treat? Hope you have fun for Halloween - particularly all my friends in the States, we had such a super fun time 4 years ago when we spent Halloween in Disneyland and lots of pre-parties in Seattle with our dear friends! Here's a few things I love for Halloween...

Autumn Leaves... Happy Friday!

The cooler weather [for us in the southern hemisphere] is just around the corner - I have pulled out a few cardis this week for a few brisker mornings.... undoubtedly this is my favourite time of the year - Autumn [my US friends - Fall]... As my birthday falls in end October [Halloween} and I have always wanted to be on the East Coast US maybe upstate NY to see all the leaves turn; having said that we had an amazing time on the West Coast US a couple years back for Halloween - there's nothing like it - the decorations, the spirit, the pumpkins - actually everything with pumpkin, loved it!

So here's to a great Friday & your weekend - for lovely mild mornings & snuggling in, the warm days - dappled light through the turning leaves & picnics in the park, and those delicious cool evenings with your favourite couch blanket and maybe a warm desert! Enjoy. S x
