Bye summer: the coolest people are already looking forward to autumn

Are you team autumn or are you CRAZY? Of course, you are team autumn. The colorful leaves falling from the trees, the lovely late summer vibe. Cool mornings, cool nights – but a ray of sun during the day. Your best clothes – boots and long coats and dresses – can come out again. Autumn is my all-time favorite and every summer I catch myself earlier and earlier looking forward to it.

And you know what? That’s a good sign. Summer may still be in full swing, but the coolest people among us are secretly already looking forward to autumn. While others are still enjoying sultry evenings and sun-drenched days, these autumn lovers start the anticipation for falling leaves, warm sweaters, and cozy evenings on the couch. Bring on that pumpkin spice.

Autumn brings a natural coziness that is hard to resist. The nicest people know that there’s nothing better than spending an evening by a crackling fireplace or with a candle lit on the table. This time of year invites warm blankets, a good book, or an evening with friends, while the smell of wood fire fills the air. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the simplicity of life. And then comfort food. No more cold, boring salad – like you eat in summer. We want cheese fondue, and fast. And also stews, pumpkin soup, and freshly baked apple pie.

Autumn officially begins on September 21 or 22 with the autumn equinox, when day and night are of equal length. This also marks the beginning of the astrological sign Libra, followed by Scorpio and Sagittarius. This is our time. Not so surprising that I’m a Libra, right? Soon we can wear you again, dear long coat. Just a little longer to get through these last warm days…
