PANTRY CHIC: If the October chill has you going into hibernation mode, you’re not alone. Now that autumn is in full swing, there is a sudden desire to sweep the decks, organise those cupboards and cook up a storm. Get your pantry inspiration from Ina Garten — who gained a whole new following of millennials during lockdown. Her latest book Modern Comfort Food is the ultimate guide to autumn nesting. Speaking about her pantry essentials, Garten says it’s all about ramen noodles, cannellini beans and the “good” kind of vanilla. That is, a homemade vanilla essence made from whole vanilla beans steeped in vodka.

PLAN AHEAD: We’ll be trading long days in the garden for Saturday baking and Sunday roasts, with the exception of a dusting of tulip bulbs over the next few weeks. As gardening becomes more en vogue, the fashion pack is migrating to Mr Middleton Garden Shop which boasts 1,000 varieties of tulips — a perfect nod to new season flora.

HOME CO-ORDINATION: If you are going to bring the outdoors in make like les filles en Rouje, the chic Parisian label from influencer Jeanne Damas, and co-ordinate your indoor geranium with your scallop-edge blouse. Extra points if it’s in a seasonal shade of salmon pink.
