With its rich colours, cosy textures and comforting flavours, October is a month straight out of a Pinterest board! At Buchanan Galleries, you’ll find everything you need to embrace the season, from pumpkin-orange knits and vampy lipsticks to spiced candles, soft throws and hot chocolates. Whether you’re leaning into spooky sparkle or Gilmore Girls-inspired comfort, our brands have all the October essentials to set the mood…
Colours: vampy and sultry
October’s colour palette brings a mix of earthy mystique and Halloween magic: fill your wardrobe with pumpkin orange, witchy black and berry reds from Next and River Island and embrace the warm tones with burnt orange eyeshadows from KIKO - you can even pair with a vampy lipstick for an extra nod to spooky season. As for your home comforts, Isle of Skye’s new fragrance Island Dusk is inspired by the woodlands of Kilmory, and will bathe your space in a cosy glow reminiscent of an autumnal golden hour.
Flavours: comforting and nourishing
This month, we're all about comforting flavours. October is a time when gorgeous gourds take centre stage, and nothing says warming home comforts better than a visit to Sainsbury’s to pick up all you need for a tasty truffle pumpkin risotto. Don't feel like cooking? Embrace the Gilmore Girls vibe with a movie night feast of pizzas, doughnuts and apple crumble instead and cosy up with a seasonal hot chocolate flavour or two from Whittard of Chelsea.
Textures: soft and luxurious
Nothing says October nights in better than turning your space into a comfy cocoon to retreat to with a good book. Next’s Halloween-themed decor will transform your home into a snug haven with a hint of spooky season magic. For extra autumn vibes, hit up John Lewis’ whimsical collection of autumn decor - mushroom salt and pepper shakers, anyone? As for clothes, wrap up in chunky knits from River Island and step into sturdy boots from ECCO or Jones Bootmaker – perfect for stomping the streets, PSL in hand.
