From the crisp colours of autumn to the cosy comforts of home, this season is all about indulgence. Think fashion, beauty and playful nods to Halloween.
Textures: soft and luxurious
October textures are all about creating a comfy cocoon. Next’s Halloween-themed cushions, throws and home accessories will transform your home into a snug haven. As for clothes, get dressed in this season’s colourful jumpers from Primark – so good they've gone viral! For a touch of luxury, visit New Look for the fluffiest knits, River Island for faux furs, and M&S for stand-out autumn outfits. Ready for the chilly months? Bring on the frosty mornings.
Flavours: indulgent and comforting
Bring on the carbs! October’s new flavours include the must-try Nando’s PERi-Mac Wrap & Sweet Heat. Over at ASK Italian we’re obsessed with Sticky Coffee Pudding (save room for dessert)! This restaurant’s also running promos in October: free pizza for friends every Wednesday between 2–5pm, and A Kids Eat Free deal is on during half term.
And we can’t mention autumn flavours without talking about our café menus. Top of the sweet treats: the NEW plant-based Ginger Crumble Loaf from Caffè Nero, Costa’s Maple Hazelnut Cookie Sandwich and Greggs’ Toffee Fudge Muffin. Eat your fill!
Colours: oranges, browns, sparkly
What are you most looking forward to this season? Going to Superdrug’s nail bar to get your nails painted in seasonal hues? Updating your bedroom with a pink Primark duvet set or loading autumn décor, posh candles, soft chenille cushions and an ornamental pumpkin (or three) into your basket? It’s all straight out of a Pinterest board!
Plus, if you’re super excited about Halloween, get your chocolate fix at Hotel Chocolat where they not only serve Ice Cream of the Gods with cherry sauce at the café, but you’ll also be greeted in-store by a fang-tastic display of inventive treats.
TOP TIP!
The clocks go back on 26th October, the nights draw in and it’s time for girls’ nights out and romantic dates over cocktails. Westwood Cross isn't just for shopping – linger longer to watch spooky films at our cinema, or go bowling on Strike It Lucky Fridays at Hollywood Bowl.
