What is it about autumn that makes me feel more mellowed? Maybe it’s a sub-conscious reaction from when I was back in school and knew that freedom wasn’t far away. Also, hello? Christmas? Yasss, bring on the pastries.

Also, dressing for fall is so much nicer. The chillier breeze hasn’t really settled into town yet. I don’t need a sweater in the day as much as in the evening, but I do look forward to more layers, more textures and more neutral colours.

I was in Delhi recently and have “fall-en” (get it?) in love all over again with H&M. Their fall-winter collection is divine. I need all their trousers and sweaters. I’m not wearing H&M in the images but let me tell you, I have been inspired and I’m thinking of styling some of my H&M bits for this season in a video. Maybe.

Also, UNIQLO is in India now. I mean, expensive, but have you seen their rainbow offerings in the basics section? I have been known to Google images of their shop floors because their displays can be so colourful. I didn’t have a chance to stop by after their recent opening but I have my fingers crossed for another time hopefully coming soon.
