Fragments of Autumn

I often receive shocked looks when I admit to getting a little fed up of summer, but in fact, I adore the chillier months and all the cute things that comes with them! Now the rain and darkening evenings have started to return, I have put together an Autumn-themed post. I know I am anticipating some aspects a bit early (the roaring fire for one!) but September is the start of the run-up to- dare I say it (my boyfriend will kill me!)- Christmas, and that in itself is exciting. This post is a snapshot of everything I love about the fall in a nutshell- the only thing missing is an ultra snug cable-knit jumper in olive or plum (and my labradoodle pup wrapped up in her basket!).
