- Wear hats and beanies, particularly on bad hair days!
- Go to the theater or cinema, but theater is so much more fancy and you can dress up a bit more.
- Take long luxurious baths. If there is ever a time to make extra time for you on Sunday evenings then this is the time of the year for it.
- Wear colorful skirts with black tights and black tops.
- Drink sumptuous red wines. Put the prosecco and aperol spritz away and indulge in beautiful berry flavored red wines.
- Enjoy an indulgent cup of hot cocoa in the evening. With cinnamon and nutmeg. And whipped cream.
- Cook your favorite one-pot foods. It’s the time to put away those salads and pastas with light sauces and take out the crock-pots, the spices and make foods that cook for hours and are so rewarding in their wonderful sumptuousness. And then dunk the bread right in!
- Wear a bold lipstick and not to much else with the rest of your make up. Consider it a huge time saver for those mornings when it is just way too dark outside to wake up on time.
- Throw away your boring black umbrella and get one that will make you smile every time you open it. And open it you will!
- Buy a ridiculous pair of fluffy socks and wear them around the house.
- Plant some autumn and winter plants in your garden. It is not too late to enjoy some greenery.
- Wear boots. This is the time of the year to do it. Don’t wear them in summer, please (this last one I am sure will be understood by those of us who live in the Netherlands).
- Swap your pastel and light colored nail polishes for darker hues.
- Throw dinner parties! Move over barbecue, fall and winter are fancy dinner party times!
- Decorate your house, because hey Christmas is just around the corner!
Let me know what your think that autumn and winter are a great time for!

I recently went and saw a most amazing modern ballet performance, very cool! I don’t know why but I find it such a fall/winter thing to do. Cinema and music concerts are more spring/summer, but ballet, plays and classical music concerts I find so much more appropriate for this weather 🙂

Great ideas! Will keep this in mind for when I move to a country that actually has autumn and winter next year! 🙂

Oh no, no fall and winter? Does that mean no luxurious baths and silly socks for you? 🙂
Looking out my window I must say I wouldn’t mind swapping with you and your no season climate for a year or two!
