Autumn fashion is the best fashion. Not only is 90% of my whole wardrobe made up of jumpers and bobble hats, but it's a time to embrace boots, layer up and it's not quite cold enough to make you feel miserable. I've rounded up some of my absolute fave Autumn fashion picks from the web at the moment that won't break the bank.
Here's the final part of the tale of Bella and Lord Geastly! Read part one here, part two here and part three here.
October seems to be getting away from me - it's absolutely speeding by and I haven't even had a chance to share this month's Reading in Heels box! This one has been a massive hit for me, and I just seem to be getting more and more surprised at just how much they manage to cram into one box.
Art journaling is something that's great for my mental health, so naturally it's something that I rarely get around to doing. BUT, when I do, it always makes me feel a little chirpier, and adds that extra bit of pep to my step.
I love blogging. I love expressing my thoughts in a written way, and learning new skills and interacting on social media. But one of the things I love most is reading other people's blogs, and watching Youtube videos. But if I watched people constantly that reminded me of myself I'd be pretty done with the internet.
There's a whole lot of malicious content slamming us in the face all over the internet right now. From vile comments on every single Youtube video you come across, to *that* rant about Mrs Hinch and feminism, it feels as though everyone is on a campaign to destroy any ounce of positivity anyone has.

As the leaves start to change and the temperature drops (at least, hopefully: WHY was it 23 degrees yesterday?!), it's time to dust off the candles because finally you want that extra bit of warmth and light and cosiness in your life again.
Broken skin
on the knee
of me, aged three
is something that a plaster
could cover and soothe
A broken bone
in the leg
of you, who knew
it was something that plaster
could cover and soothe
A broken tyre
on that car,
of ours, a mar
that could be replaced
and covered and soothed
But a broken heart
and no joy
from a boy, whose toy
was you, where no words
could fix and soothe the pain
And broken skin
from the mess
you're in, and over the din
of the voices in your head,
nothing can fix and soothe you
And a broken home,
from the shouts
and the rage that's at a stage
where it won't go away,
can't be fixed and soothed
Sometimes life isn't as simple
as a graze from the floor
or a clean break
or a bump on a journey
Sometimes life is painful
and broken
and the wounds and the thoughts and the mess and the noise and the agony
can't be fixed in a day or a week or a month or a year
but that's okay, and you're okay
because a soul isn't something that can be broken,
completely

A couple of months ago, myself and Aimee (at Aimee Raindrop Writes) set ourselves a challenge: as blogging besties with a love for books, we decided to each read the other person's three favourite books of all time. You'll have to check out Aimee's blog for the future post on the first of my top three she's read, but for now, here's The Honeymoon by Tina Seksis.
The second part of my first short story on the blog is about to kick off, so buckle up and get ready!

Autumn is when I always seem to get really back into reading. There's nothing better than curling up under a blanket, lighting some candles and turning away from the world for a couple of hours to read on a chilly evening. So it's no surprise that I've picked up a whole selection of new reads in the last month. There are some books in here that I've been wanting to buy for over a year, and I'm so happy to finally see them lining my shelves!
September is always one of my favourite months of the year. Things start to get a little less sweat-filled (thank God), my dressing gown can come out of hibernation, and nature just seems a little more beautiful. Sunsets at this time of year are filled with pink streaks and general beauty, whilst spying the first hint of frost that makes everything sparkle does make me smile too.
I'm having a lot of fun with blogging again at the moment, finally tapping into what I've been wanting to do for months, and I think I've spiralled a little out of control with this title. But I mean, has there ever been a better time for a Friends quote?
I've wanted to write a short story to publish in parts on here for the longest time now, and after finally finding something I truly wanted to write, here's the first instalment of The Tale of Bella and Lord Geastly:
