Clothes wise, Autumn is my absolute favourite time of year, with comfy layers, my beautiful new winter boots and all the bobble hats I can muster, it's the perfect time to get wrapped up and embrace the cold weather with my favourite people (and pooch). In recent years I've started to split my wardrobe a little more instead of having winter woollies and 'big coats' hanging around all year, I've packed them away to give me space for the cooler seasons, so just recently I've been digging out all of last years favourites as well as some I've had for years to freshen up all ready for keeping me warm in the coming months. My parka coat and mustard bobbles are my absolute favourites and were first out the case this Autumn! If you don't separate your clothes through the seasons, it's well worth thinking about it moving forward. Keep out 'cross over' items that work all year round, but store the pure summer dresses or wintry bits away when you know they won't be needed, you'll be so thankful for the extra space!
Packing season specific clothes away like scarves, thick jumpers and coats is a great idea for keeping your wardrobe organised, but it's a good idea to give it a quick refresh when it emerges from hiding to keep your things fresh and colours bright. Just recently I was kindly sent two boxes of 'Ace for Colours' powder from Ace UK and Britmums, to help freshen up my winter warmers giving them a boost for Autumn.
The 450g boxes are totally recyclable and freshen clothes gently even at 30 degrees, whilst helping to keep colours bold and stains/odours at bay - just what I need for my clothes and blankets which have been in storage and tend to smell a little musty. Oh, and lets not forget our dog Peg who has a marvellous selection of cold weather sweaters, coats and her matching mustard hat!

So all our coats/hats/scarves/blankets (lets not forget the beloved blankets!) and cosy PJs have come out of hiding and received the ACE treatment, with gleaming colours and smelling super fresh, ready for our adventures. When it comes to Autumn, I love bright colourful knits and patterns, so keeping them looking good with Ace gets a big thumbs up from me - especially when they smell good too!
Ace is also amazing for the kids clothes and school uniforms this time of year, where they are constantly splashing in muddy puddles and climbing slimy trees in the rain! Nothing stops us having fun outdoors and now I can care even less about dirty washing or dreaded stains. Those white shirts don't stay white for long, but Ace really does help shift the filth and leave them gleaming and smelling gloriously fresh. Hurrah!
Having used Ace for the last couple of weeks, we've had a few 'Ta-Dah' moments of our own, with my tired looking woollies looking fresh and bright all ready for the new season ahead (see my beautiful rainbow sweater below!). The kids Christmas jumpers will be out soon for freshening with Ace and for now, they are warm and cosy in their newly freshened favourites from last winter!
