We're thick into the season many of us consider their favourite – Autumn. I've probably tipped over the age of it being acceptable for kicking my way through leaves, but it doesn't stop me from eyeing them up them piles as I walk through the park. Autumn is ace; crisp sunny mornings, a golden hue casting over everything in sight and the perfect time of the year to practice that good ol' layering game.
With layers in mind, our plan was to select our favourite items from the new COS x MR PORTER collection, but with it selling out so quickly we turned elsewhere. This muddy coloured garment-dyed sweatshirt by Albam will look spot on with the navy + cream Vans Old Skool reissue, British-made coach jacket by Oliver Spencer and orange wool socks by Anonoymous Ism.
A few of you may have spotted that we're moving into our first house soon! While we already have a hefty book collection we're always looking to keep adding. Gray Malin's Beaches does the trick – with his unique perspective on aerial photography. And, when we turn to music for a little relaxation this new bluetooth speaker by B&O Play apparently packs a quality punch.
Aesop is another brand that I've been big on lately. Ever since Hollie bought me their Tacit fragrance and Moroccan Neroli Post Shave Lotion for my birthday I've been hooked. They sure gets the olfactory senses going, but it's definitely not all for show – the lotion leaves my skin feeling soft and fully hydrated after my morning routine.
Have you tried Magic Rock's Cannonball IPA? At 7.4% it's not for everyone, but it's bang-on where I'm at with beer at the moment – packs one helluva flavour.
Finally, we end with transatlantic accessories from Buckets' favs, Albam + Shinola. I've been a fan of Albam for as long as I've been writing this blog, and even though their styles rarely alter, they sometimes surprise us with new colour – this bright blue Canvas Tote has everything I need in an everyday bag. And maybe I've left the best 'till last, with Shinola's Runwell Watch, featuring a navy dial natural leather strap – maybe, just maybe, this is a not-so-subtle hint for my 25th December list...
As always, we'd love to hear what you think about our choices.

This a solid list dude. I desperately want that O/S jacket.
