World enews: Let Autumn be the season of new beginnings with these inspirational ideas from The White Company

The White Company is one of Britain’s favourite lifestyle brands, known for a timeless style and attention to detail throughout all its products. This Autumn’s collection, available now, encourages you to embrace new beginnings, with a range of luxury scents, clothes and homeware to welcome in the season.

If you’ve ever thought of Autumn as a time to wind down, then The White Company invites you to think again. Why wait until January to make the adjustments that will improve your life? Seize the day, try something new and discover that a few simple things can make a big difference in your life.

Take five more minutes…

(The White Company)

…in bed, on the sofa or round the table before you go. Modern life can often rush by, so treat yourself to a few modest indulgences and allow yourself a little longer to enjoy them.

The White Company’s new season nightwear will help you sleep so soundly that you won’t want to get out of bed in a hurry. Curl up in these Jersey Stitch Detail Classic Pyjamas and you’ll soon be easing into a slower pace of life. With a comfortable elasticated waistband and a super soft, lightweight feel you’ll be in no hurry to change out of them when the morning comes. If you prefer the cosiness of a nightshirt, whether tucked up in bed or reclined on the sofa, this Organic Brushed Cotton Jersey Floral Nightshirt offers both warmth and comfort in abundance.

Treat your feet while lazing around the house with this pair of boot slippers, with their super-soft faux fur insides and cushioned soles giving them an extra degree of comfort. Or for even more practicality, these comfy Suede Mule Slippers have a sturdy corkbed base and adjustable strap so there’s no need to take them off if you need to pop outside.

And for some extra warmth before or after bed, this super soft, long Snuggle Robe will cocoon you with its fluffy, fleecy comforts.

If you’re enjoying the benefits of a cosy night’s sleep, it’s only fair that any new members of the family are treated equally. The Little White Company is an area dedicated to kids clothes and accessories and we’ve picked out this Counting Sheep Sleepsuit for your newborn, or as a perfect gift for friends with a baby on the way. Made from pure organic cotton it’s soft against the skin, while an envelope neckline and poppers around the legs makes for easy changing – which should allow mum or dad to steal a few more minutes in bed for themselves.

Do things together…

…because life is better when we find time to share the good things. Invite your family or friends round for supper, gather around the table or outside in the last of the summer sun, and make it a more homely occasion with The White Company’s range of seasonal homeware.

Simple serving plates, such as this textured Barton Serving Tray, provide style and versatility for passing round the canapés or handing out the drinks. And if you want to treat your guests to some Champagne, then these hand-blown Ferne Twisted Stem Champagne Coupes will provide a talking point, besides holding the fizz.

Rustic, Autumnal table accessories can help to remove the formality of a meal, making your guests feel more relaxed and welcomed. We love the look and feel of these Seagrass Scalloped Placemats. Their hand-woven, basket-weave look makes each one unique and provides the ideal base for displaying simple tableware, besides your home cooking.

When it comes to sharing food, few things match the pleasures of ripe fruit gathered from the garden, whether presented freshly picked for guests to help themselves or whipped into a crumble. This Footed Serving Bowl will showcase your harvest at its best – an assortment of fruit or a freshly tossed salad – while the range of exclusive Portuguese clay stoneware items in the Portobello Collection includes serving plates and bowls for all appetites.

For an extra touch of rustic charm, this decorative Arley Whitewashed Terracotta Jug certainly looks the part. Hand-painted by skilled artisans in Indonesia it will add a timeless detail to your living space.

Enjoy Friday night in…

…on your own, with a loved one, or with friends. You don’t have to go out to have a good time, relaxing in your own space can be just as rewarding.

These mouth-blown Moreton Wine Glasses are equally handy for a casual night on the sofa as they are for a more formal occasion, with their generous-sized bowls meaning you don’t need to disrupt your comfort by constantly topping it up.

To set the scene for a romantic evening, or add some sparkle to group gathering, these Star Fairy Lights work as well draped around the dining table as they do around a tree in the garden.

The right fragrance can also elevate an evening to a new level, and we’ve picked the citrussy charms of Bergamot as the ideal aroma to accompany the longer nights of Autumn. In this collection of fragrances from The White Company, that includes diffusers, fragrance oils and candles, bergamot is expertly blended with cedar and neroli for some woody warmth and uplifting fruity aromas that will be restorative and comforting in equal measure.

Go on your next adventure…

…even if it’s just for a few hours of the day. It doesn’t take much to add some spark to life, so wrap up warm and climb a hill, stroll along the beach or even just visit friends.

This Ribbed Cashmere Scarf will keep the chill away from a cool evening or stiff breeze, without compromising on style, while these boot socks are an everyday essential that will bring comfort to your toes with their super soft wool and silk blend.

For even more warmth, a good quality jumper with a chunky rollneck is hard to beat, especially if it’s made from luxurious cashmere. This rollneck jumper from The White Company will quickly become a wardrobe favourite. Its quality design, that includes flattering side splits, is a contemporary upgrade on a classic item of clothing and you’ll soon be looking for any excuse to wear it.

If you’re embarking on a family adventure, then keep the kids warm too. This Recycled Teddy Fleece Coat is as adorable as it is practical, and is made with recycled fibres, making it a sustainable choice. And we love this Mixed Knit Hooded Cardigan so much that we wish we could be six years old again.

If you’re catching up with old friends then remind them of your kindness and generosity by handing them a gift. You don’t need to splash out to show you care – this heart-embossed Bourton Egg Cup will put a smile on their faces and remind them that it’s often the simplest things, like true friendship, that count the most.

Do something new…

(The White Company)

…and tick something off the bucket list. There’s no need to wait until the new year to fulfil an ambition for the first time.

If your desire is to try out a new sporty activity, then some suitable footwear could well be in order. These CLAE Joshua Runner Trainers will protect your feet without you losing out on style. Made with recycled fibres and vegan materials they also mean you’re helping out the environment, besides improving your own wellbeing.

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to learn a new skill and have an eye on an evening class to get you started? To help get your ambitions off the ground, why not treat yourself to a new bag or accessory, to give you the confidence to face the challenge in style. This Pembroke Knot Cross Body Bag is an ideal everyday bag and comes with a removable body strap for versatility. It’s a simple design, crafted from supple suede, with a minimalist knot detail on the sides and, whatever activity you indulge in, it will add a touch of luxury to your everyday style.

This Autumn, do something new, because we think now is the perfect time.
