So it’s September. If you live in the UK that means Autumn. A buffer month between us & Winter. The side effects of this season change already apparent, noticeably it’s getting darker earlier.
As we come to terms with saying goodbye to Summer, albeit rather heartbroken & jaded, at least there’s a bounty of food to console us in Autumn.
However, as the blackberries disappear & darkening days creep in, we have some tips at staying bright during the Winter months - taken from Woody’s sell out Topshop collection Star Gaze in 2008:

Time to make plans & come up with ideas. Be inventive & creative.
