There were a couple of items that I had on my wishlist this year; the first being a pair of new wellies. I had owned my old Hunter wellies for 7 years, so I was well overdue for a new pair! I opted for a Burgundy pair of le chameau wellies and have already got plenty of wear out of them during my snow walks! I’d also taken the opportunity to add to my Aspinal of London collection (featured in my Christmas gift guide) with a gorgeous Burgundy travel wallet - fingers crossed we can travel abroad in 2021! And if we are lucky enough to travel, I’ll have my travel hack rucksack to pack with!

Christmas always proves to be the prime opportunity to replenish my skincare , makeup and body care stash, including shower gels from Lush, Original Source and Soap & Glory, new skincare from Origins, Aesop and Cerave and makeup from Charlotte Tilbury, Maybelliene, ELF and LA Girl.

It’s become a bit of an annual tradition that I share my Autumn makeup routine when the seasons change. There’s something about autumn makeup for me. I think it’s the pale skin and multiple shades of berry lipstick that does it for me.

Since starting my new job in the summer, I've got into the rhythm of a quick morning makeup routine that looks natural, but also put together - I don't like to look like I am wearing much makeup, but I also want to look more put-together than when I've just rolled out of bed.

My makeup bag has remained fairly consistent since July, give or take a couple of lipstick switch-ups, and can take me from dreary-eyed to fresh-faced in no time.
