The November Edit
HIBERNATION MODE: Activated
Here at The Style Attic HQ it’s been all about slowing down, leaning into the cosy and enjoying simple things in life outside of work.
Sometimes it feels like it's all go-go-go, but there’s magic in the quiet moments too - especially before Christmas mania hits!
So whenever you can, light that candle, wrap up for a walk and let the world spin on without rushing around it. Here’s how Leigh and Jade spent their November hibernating:
Leigh
“This month I’ve been leaning into all the cosy, slow-living vibes and it’s been absolute bliss. I finally picked up the paint-by-numbers kit I got last Christmas (yes, it’s still unfinished, but I’m determined to finish it before the year ends).
Long hot baths have become a ritual, always with a good book in hand, and if you’re looking for a recommendation, *The Silent Patient* by Alex Michaelides is a must-read.
Evenings are for guilty pleasures like binge-watching MAFS UK. It’s totally cheesy, but I can’t help getting sucked in every year! And, of course, food plays a big part in this time of year too - nothing beats a hearty stew with dumplings, the ultimate Yorkshire comfort food.
My Sundays are for pottering, my favourite way to reset the house before the Christmas chaos sets in. Last weekend, we cleared out the toys, and Bodhi even set up a little shop outside, giving his old treasures away. Simple moments like these are what I live for this time of year.
I think it's safe to say that the launch of our brand new pyjama sets couldn’t have come at a better time, because they’ve been my go-to comfies this month when at home with the kids, and I can’t see it changing until we head into the new year either.”
Here’s a little Winter throw back to Leigh and Jade enjoying a hearty tea made by Lisa back in the 90’s...
Jade
“For me, November has been all about finding balance between the crisp outdoors and the home-comforts indoors. It’s been a month of long walks in the fresh air, cheering on the sidelines at football matches and soaking up all things autumn.
I had a night in Nashville with the girls - there’s nothing like good music and great company to warm the soul. And when the busy days are done, it’s all about curling up on the sofa with a blanket and a boxset!”
We’d love to know, what’s your favourite way to slow down?
IT’S IN THE GENES
Some family traditions will never change, and the three generational annual shopping trip to Christmas shop ‘til we drop’ was a highlight of this month. Here’s a selfie to remind our customers to plan that family day-out, because these moments are what we live for.
CELEBRATING ONE YEAR IN OUR NEW SHOP
