Everything we’re eating, buying, watching and experiencing this month. The ultimate inspiration for a fun-filled October.

STAY I cannot wait to get to The Chedi Andermatt in the Swiss Alps for an Autumn escape, nothing short of postcard perfection. BUY I’ve got my eye on this easy, any day, everyday shacket from sustainable brand Seventy + Mochi with its beautiful stiching and casual weekend vibe. LISTEN to the brilliance of Neil Gaiman and the audiobook Neverwhere, a fantastical and gritty listen. EAT At the Royal Opera House’s newly opened Piazza restaurant, on the fifth-floor terrace. TRY I’m loving my new discovery Pilates at Nobu Portman Square. VISIT The National Theatre to see Samira Wiley (of Handmaid’s Tale and Orange is the New Black) in the revival of Pearl Cleage’s play “Blues for an Alabama Sky” set in ’30s Harlem, with a fresh perspective on Black America.

STAY The Mitre Hampton Court for a cosy weekend staycay, it’s only 30 minutes from London Waterloo and right on the River Thames. BUY I have been looking for a pair of smart loafers to wear for this in-between weather, and G.H Bass’ Penny Black Patent Loafers are perfect to pair with jeans for everyday dressing. WATCH Bad Sisters on Apple TV. One of the best series I’ve watched in a while – I don’t want it to end! EAT I can’t get enough of (vegan) cheese toasties, the season has begun. TRY The newly opened The House of Keune by Bloom in collaboration with Dutch hair-care brand Keune for an autumn hair refresh. Their state-of-the-art London flagship in Holborn is seriously impressive.

STAY Autumn’s officially here and I’m dreaming of a cosy staycation at The Fox at Oddington, a new pub with rooms in the Cotswolds. BUY Now’s the time to invest in a winter coat, like this snuggly number from Michael Kors. WATCH As the nights draw in, you’ll find me binging the new series of The White Lotus on HBO. EAT One of my favourite London restaurants Fallow has just launched an epic brunch menu – think breakfast muffins and Bloody Marys. TRY Skinwork’s Peel & Reveal facial is the post-summer skin refresh I need right now. VISIT The V&A’s major new exhibition Hallyu! The Korean Wave is top of my cultural hit list.

VISIT Not fully accepting the change in season just yet, I’m heading for some winter sun at El Gouna, a resort destination on Egypt’s Red Sea. BUY Colder days mean the chance to swap sandals for warming winter boots. These Blundstone 510 Chelsea Boots will see me through the next few months. READ Slightly later than the critics, I’m delving into Sally Rooney’s third book (and 2021 New York Times bestseller) Beautiful World, Where Are You. EAT Sudu in Queen’s Park is high on my London restaurant hit list, specifically the Bihun Kosongon on the breakfast menu. LOVE The Kevin Murphy Hydrate-Me.Masque is helping repair summer-sun stress on my hair, and giving it the moisture boost needed to stay hydrated through winter.

STAY I’m longing to go Adare Manor this Autumn. I have visions of frosty walks and cosying up by a big fire. BUY I’m one click away from buying these Prada loafers to complete my winter look with lots of heritage checks and knitwear! READ Currently reading Bill Browder’s Red Notice, a story of high finance and corruption in Russia. EAT I love Bar Des Pres for their French / Japanese cuisine by Cyril Lignac. I like sitting at the bar to eat and then going downstairs to the very cute little bar. TRY My tan has faded and it’s time for blusher rather than a bronzer. I love this one from Rose Inc.
