Lisa Edunsin’s Ultimate Autumn/Winter Guide for Moms & Toddlers

Our guest contributor Lisa is excited to share some of her must-haves for the autumn and winter seasons, including a few toddler essentials as she’s a mum:

This year, summer seemed to skip town, and autumn weather is making an early appearance—don’t get me started on the rain! I’ve already begun prepping for the cooler days ahead, but I must admit, this season is one of my favourites.

Beauty Favourites

Korean Hydrating Overnight Mask

As the temperatures drop, my skin often feels the effects. One of my go-to self-care rituals is curling up with a good show and applying a hydrating mask. A friend introduced me to this Korean mask, which truly works wonders. I highly recommend it!

Summer Fridays Signature Travel Skincare Set

I also love the Summer Fridays travel-sized set—it’s perfect for keeping your skin nourished on the go. The Jet Lag Mask hydrates tired skin, while the Deep Hydration Serum is fantastic for oily or sensitive skin. The Super Amino Gel Cleanser gently cleanses, and the Lip Butter Balm is a must for chapped lips.

Caudalie Smooth & Glow Oil Elixir

Try incorporating a facial oil into your routine for extra moisture during the winter months. A great choice is the Caudalie Smooth & Glow Oil Elixir.

Autumn/ Winter Style Favourites

I love versatile outfits, and sets are perfect for dressing up or down and mixing and matching.

Wool Outerwear

Flecked Wool Blend Suit Blazer

Wool outerwear is a definite must have for the winter season is they provide not only warmth but long term wear and sustainable fashion is also something Chaud Magazine advocates. Investing in a structured wool blazer has been game-changer for my wardrobe. This one from Mango strikes the perfect balance between stylish and warm.

Fringe Wool Blend Coat

Wool Coat Scarf coats are trending, and this Mango version captures that cozy vibe beautifully. A good to remember when purchasing a wool coat blend is that it should have at least 70% wool composition.

Winter Holiday Outfit

Dreaming of a winter getaway? This set from Meshki is effortlessly chic with its stunning golden floral hardware.

Meshki Asymmetrical Long Sleeve Top Meshki Asymmetrical Maxi Skirt

Slim Toe Leather Knee High Boots

Add a pair of knee-high boots to your collection; they’re perfect for pairing with dresses or jeans for a polished look.

Kids/Toddlers Essentials

Wellies/Boots

Next Wellies

A sturdy pair of boots is essential for keeping little feet warm and dry during autumn’s rainy days. Wellies are perfect for puddle jumping and are easy to clean, which is a lifesaver. Next offers great options, including lined wellies that are perfect for colder weather.

Layering Pieces

Marks & Spencer Jacket

Nothing beats layering for staying warm! I love cardigans for their versatility, allowing easy removal if my toddler gets too warm. A good waterproof coat is also a must-have to keep them cozy and dry. Brands like Marks & Spencer and H&M always deliver quality at great prices.
