As we roll not-so-seamlessly into the autumn season, trailing coats are lifted afloat at the fringes of the city’s hustle bustle and the all so mellow summer London is begins its yearly transition back to full throttle. Here are my top 5 picks to commemorate fall, to the days that tempt us with the nostalgia of a lingering summer.
Available at Selfridges
This fragrance breathes of a musky, aged sweetness that wafts through just as crisp autumn leaves would be caught under a straw broom. Romantic, feminine, bold but subtle - step into a season of sophistication with “Clandestine Clara”.
Available at Daisy London
An elegant statement earring that blends late summer to autumn. Londoners add their own charming touch to their accessories game in the Autumn months.
Available at Free People
Boots drive the autumnal wardrobe home as they embody the perfect balance between effortless and put-together, bridging the carefree innocence of summer and the anchored grit needed for winter. Styled with the jewelry, they sit in that nook between soft delicacy and daring abrasion.
Available at Cos
Nothing says autumn more than an oversized jacket or coat. Its warmth and padded texture offers cozy but chic, definitely a London autumn must-have.
Available at Bookshop
The final item is a timeless addition that will carry anyone from autumn and through to the years that follow. The Unbearable Lightness of Being tells the story of several protagonists, all in relationship to one another via or because of the the two lead characters, Teresa and Tomas. Originally published in 1984, the existential themes brought forth in the book remain poignant today. Kundera is a masterful storyteller writing with taste and suspense, taking you from the ends of summer into the beginning of winter.
