I’m back after a summer break! And I’m happy to be back in time for my favourite season: Autumn; my birthday season, a time of harvest and plenty, getting organised for the season ahead, and yes; even the prospect of the cold and dark….I know that makes me sound a bit strange, but think of the cosiness!

It feels like real summer is finally here, even if the UK weather is somewhat lacking. The school summer holidays are stretched out before me, emails are increasingly met with out of office auto replies, and the roads are noticeably quiet.

It’s a lovely time to refresh and brighten up your home. Today I’m sharing some tips on how to bring summer into your home, including seasonal styling ideas and sustainable summer decor.

I also talk about how to holiday at home. Have you tried it?! It can be surprisingly fun and relaxing!

Let's talk about spring!

I love celebrating seasonal shifts in my home.

For me, it is about marking and celebrating each shift of the season. It's about noticing and grounding ourselves. It's about stepping out of the busyness of daily life, the ridiculousness of daily life sometimes, and just going, huh, the world has changed, isn't that wonderful?

Lots of folks REALLY struggle with Winter, have SAD, and find the darkness and cold, claustrophobic and depressing. And if this is you, I'm sorry, I know how that feels. If you hate winter in a country with long winters, it means you're spending most of every year feeling really depressed and miserable, and life is too short! I just don't want that for you. So today I'm going be talking about embracing winter and styling for winter, all focused on how to enjoy this season, and how our homes are key.
