Something I adore about this time of year, is how everyone's attention turns to comfort. It's all about how best to keep warm, stay cosy and achieve a general sense of wellbeing. I'll be the first to admit I get ahead of myself with the seasons, which lately has resulted in curling up on the sofa watching Christmas films (oops), surrounded by candles. But the question is, how can we embrace this season? Using the weekend as an example - it both starts and ends at home. Things tend to quieten down on the social front between now and the festive season, providing the perfect excuse to indulge in a very, very gentle weekend...
I know I should start by suggesting unplugging and/or having a digital detox, but I'm actually turning my back on that idea. Just a little bit. Speaking from experience, a sudden and total digital detox tends to cause more worry than the stuff itself, y'know? My suggestion would be to restrict; allocate a brief moment to do what you (think you) have to do and then detox - allowing you to truly relax, with nothing hanging over you. Noting the pile of pastries below, now might also be a good time to mention how gentle mornings are ALL about the food. It's Autumn, it's cold and it's time to treat yourself. Bring out the pancakes! 
There really is something beautiful about completely immersing yourself in a new season. I dread the thought of not having totally 'embraced' a season, though thankfully there's one million and one different ways to throw yourself into A/W - so there's no chance of missing out! Which reminds me, candles. Because is it even Autumn if you're not stockpiling warm and woody scents?! A couple of my current favourites include Cire Trudon's Scented Christmas Candle and Neom's Christmas Wish 3 Wick Scented Candle. Spot the theme....

those pastries and fruit salads look delicious. true, we all need to take care of ourselves and some chilled relax/pampering time is absolutely necessary.

That gown is STUNNING. It looks like it feels like a dream. I've been worried about not totally embracing this time of year as well, but all we can really do is take moments to ourselves, like you said. A gentle weekend sounds so appealing right now. I think I'll so just that!

I bought my first fleece blanket two months ago and I am hooked so now I want to buy every single one that I see. And talking about digital detox, I desperately need one. I know I will probably go crazy worrying about engagement and stats but I am feeling so burned out.

Your robe is beautiful Gabrielle! I'm all for comfort all year round and while I agree that a sudden total digital detox can be anxiety inducing, when it becomes a regular practice, it's like the most refreshing break.
ReplyDeleteRelaxing mornings spent enjoying the season are always the best! Indulgent food and comfortable clothes can make for the perfect weekend!

Silky gowns and mornings with breakfast in bed are just so far from my life right now. It is being up and outside with the kids to collect leafs and praying for the rain to stop...
ReplyDeleteLinda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
Adore lingerie, I literally love silk lingerie and those prints are just amazing. Plus, you look amazing in them. Pretty impressed by the nice breakfast too .. This period I haven't been able to unwind so much but usually once a month or less I like to spend a day on the couch and read a book from beginning to ending. I don't read often but when I do I want to finish it also. Great post, beauty!

That robe is gorgeous! I love that this season is all about comfort and looking after ourselves - I actually kind of agree with the digital detox thing, I love a day off but sometimes I find it useful to be on social media for say half an hour in the morning and then take the rest of the day off,

First of all, you look so chic and cozy in all of these shots! And also, I love slow (gentle) mornings. We seem to always be rushing but there really is something special about slowing down to enjoy the little things before your day gets going.

Since this is my first proper year with a serious winter coming I'm still trying to hold on to every sunny day we've had, but I know the time is really coming to try and stay cosy and embrace the cooler months. So I've been scouring the shops for cosy knitwear and I'm planning on picking up a few lovely candles because I love having them on hand and they made a night in so much cosier.

Ohhhh this post just gave me ALL of the cozy holiday feels! There's honestly nothing better than warm fuzzy blankets, scented candles, and just feeling WARM! That spread looks to die for too. So in love with this season!

I love that silk nightgown, I'd love something so fancy. At the moment I have my cosy dressing gowns but they look a bit frumpy, haha! :) This sounds like a lovely relaxing way to spend the weekend too. I can't even remember the last time I had breakfast in bed, it may have been when I was pregnant with my eldest boy, years ago now, ha!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you are having a lovely weekend! We have the sun back again after a pretty rainy week which is nice! :)

ReplyDeleteComfort and cosy mornings are my favourite! It's true that we tend to focus on that more in the autumn and before the festive season. There's nothing better than a breakfast in bed while wearing your favourite pyjamas. Your Bonsoir of London gown is gorgeous, such a deep colour! I love it :)

Your own is definitely a dream and I want to have your breakfast right now (but I know I should stop blogging and instead cooking a dinner). I love this season, too, and honestly, I never thought about digital detox :) I like it to be connected! Enjoy further fall and thanks for the beautiful post.

What a beautiful post Gabrielle and how luxurious are your PJ's from Bonsoir, you look stunning and relaxing in style is certainly a wonderful thing to do. This time of year when it starts to get a little colder really is a perfect excuse to cosy in and pamper yourself, and totally agreed, bring out the pancakes -all year every year!
ReplyDeleteI think when it comes to Digital, it's important to get the balance right :) Some days I'm more active and others I totally switch off, it's healthy to do so, balance is key when it comes to the majority of things in life I feel (and yes that includes chocolate :P)
Sending love and thanks for sharing such a gorgeous post!
