Colourful leaves, still some flowers, beautiful colours, cosy times, nice jumpers, hot chocolate, pumpkins, longer nights, cooler weather, more time indoors - this is definitely autumn.

I created a board on Pinterest a while ago with autumnal pins - including some autumn colour photos, DIYs, recipes, decor and outfit ideas. If you're there, take a look and get inspired.  :)

Here are also a few quotes about this season. I find these very appropriate and beautiful.

🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

🍁 "Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree."

(Emily Brontë)

🍁 "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."

(Albert Camus)

🍁 "Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn."

(Elizabeth Lawrence)

🍁 "I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze. The sweet chill of pumpkin, and crisp sunburnt leaves."

(Ann Drake)

🍁 "I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift."

(Dodinsky)

"You're in pretty good shape for the shape you are in."

Shapewear and also corsets have a long history and are popular every now and then.

A body shaper is designed to change the shape of the wearer's body and it comes in a variety of sizes and shapes, so no matter what your current size is and what area of your body you want to improve, you will surely find the perfect piece for you.

On the website of Shapellx, for example, you can find shapewear in sizes from XS to 6XL, and the colours also range from classic beige, brown and black to purple, lilac, blue, red or yellow. The garments come in different styles such as underwear, cami tops, leggings, tights, bodysuits and shorts - so everyone can find the model that best suits them and their goals.

Depending on the area you want to improve, you can choose a different style. What is the best shapewear for tummy and waist is not the right choice for your hips or legs. There are also garments with different levels of compression such as super comfy, moderate, firm and extra firm.

With shapewear, it is always important that you wear the right size and please also keep in mind that many recommend that you do not wear them for long periods of time, no more than 8 hours and not every day.

On the Shapellx website, you can easily refine your search under the Collections tab. You can choose categories like the seamless line, but also swimwear, or you can also take a look at the trending items. Under Plus & Shape you will find various products such as plus size waist trainer or plus size shaper bodysuit, and you can use the sizing guide to help you choose the right size.

Please do not forget to be conscious when shopping. Find out the pros and cons of wearing shapewear before you make a purchase decision. For example, it can be a good choice for a big event where you want to look your best, but remember that any garment has only a temporary effect and it is very important to feel good in your own body as well.

Lots of love,

"Hello October, let the autumnal colours begin."

I hope you are all well and have arrived in October with lots of great memories from the summer.

Unbelievable how time flies and how I have missed being online for months again.

Did you know that today is not only the first day of October, but also International Coffee Day, and in the US they also celebrate National Homemade Cookies Day?

So if you don't have anything planned for this weekend, just bake some biscuits, have some coffee (or tea) while you're at it and have a lot of fun. :)

Below you can also see my favourite outfits from last month. A classic black and white look, two autumnal outfits and a beautiful evening dress. I hope you like them too.  :)

As always, let me know in the comments below which is your favourite one. And also whether you are a coffee or a tea person.

Have a wonderful weekend.  :)

Lots of love,

E
