10 Inexpensive Night In Ideas

   1. Hot Chocolate and ''Autumn In New York'' This is my ultimate Richard Gere movie (after ''Pretty Lady'' of course) I do think it's quite girly though, so maybe pick a night where your partner is away for a guys poker night...also you might cry, which can get embarrassing :D

   2. DIY - It's not for everyone :D But hey give it a try. You know you've always wanted to try out those galaxy nails you saw on Pinterest :D

   3. Read a book...when was actually the last time you read one.

   4. Cook with the other half ( if you're single invite a friend over) chop, fry, mix and knead :) just make sure you do it together and later you can enjoy a delicious meal ( unless you're a really bad cook...then this might turn into a ''cook with your partner and then order a pizza'' kind of night )

   5. Bake - Make some cupcakes, home made chocolate chip cookies, apple and cinnamon crumble...just bake. The house will be filled with delicious smells and there is nothing better than a warm crumble on a cold autumn night

   6. Order pizza and watch ''Friends'' with friends. Or meet up with your girlfriends, make loads of Manhattan cocktails and watch ''Sex and the City'' Share the cost by telling everyone what to bring :)

   7. Make chocolate truffles. They are so easy to make and you can decorate the with all kinds of different things. Later you can box them up and use them as sweet presents :) If you're not really into chocolate ( You weirdo) then roast some honey covered nuts, pour them in a cone and go for an evening stroll in the beautiful Autumn night. Or just spend your time with making the most perfect cup of hot chocolate

   8. Organise - if you have been planning to do the final clean before Christmas then it's best to divide your duties. One day clean the windows and do the annoying bits and bobs that need doing. But rainy Autumn evenings are best for sorting out the drawers and cupboards. Pack up the summer things and get ready for Christmas time. Organise your pantry to make that massive cooking day on the 24th/25th enjoyable. Re-arrange all your make up, your socks and your sweaters :)  

   9. Write your Christmas cards. You know you're going to forget. Take your time and use those golden/silver pens you've had since last Christmas and write beautiful poems in cards for your friends. They will appreciate the effort and wonder where ever did you have time for that :D    

10. Start a new tradition - It may be a yearly thing or just a temporary weekly thing. Watch a series of movies (Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games) I like to pick the ones that have all the movies out already. Because you don't want to wait a year for the next one to come out...

Hope you found some fun activities for your nights in this Autumn :) Stay tuned for next weeks post, where I will share 10 new traditions to start this year :)

The Faux Fur Edit

We have all been there...The winter comes and we feel like we need a whole new wardrobe. New colours come in every year and new styles and everything seems to be new. But there is a way to make your old wardrobe work this year around and the next ones coming. All you need is these two items in your wardrobe... 1. The faux fur gillet and 2. The faux fur collar

The items are so versatile and make any outfit feel warm, stylish and seasonal.

There are many ways on how to corporate the faux fur into your autumn/winter wardrobe. You can use you summer dress under the gillet/vest and wear it with boots and a cardigan. You can use the vest over your last years comfortable high neck jumper and add some killer over the knee boots. You can use the faux fur collar over your leather jacket or a nice cardigan...you get the deal.

So if you are thinking of which accessory to add to your wardrobe this year. Make it faux fur. It doesn't have to be expensive and you can find pretty much every colour to choose from as the vareity

is so amazing this year.

Check out a few of my favourites above...and look out for an outfit post in the coming weeks using exactly the two pieces just mentioned.

And as always

Stay tuned

Autumn In The Park

Good Morning, Everyone :) And welcome to WhiteCrispShirt :)

This is a bit of a personal post of mine just to show you guys who has been taking up all my time. If you are  a new reader, you might not know this, but I have a son. A wonderful soon to be 15 month old. He is my everything and I took a few months off to spend all my time with him :D Now I feel like I need to do something else with my life and gosh how I missed blogging. 

The blog will be a bit different though. I will have guest writers doing posts, but I will still be writing a few of my own as well. Hopefully with all the extra input you will find something that interests you and you'll become a loyal reader :)

But here are a few pictures of me and my little dude in the park :)

The first picture is completely out of focus, but it's one of my favourite one out of all of them. I just like the light of it and the colors :) 

 Oscar is wearing: Jacket MOTHERCARE, jeans and sweater H&M, Shoes JORDANS by NIKE, hat LINDEX

You can still find all my old posts in the archive :) 

Hope you enjoyed the Autumn park pictures

Stay tuned

xoxo
