AUTUMN / WINTER TREND REPORT 2018
“Clothing is ultimately the suit of armour in which we battle the world”, exclaimed Sophia Amoruso. The fabric we adorn our bodies with has a duty particularly in winter to keep as warm and protected. Just as important is its function to make us feel confident and polished. Before you make your selection for the season, mixing old favourites with new, exciting garments, let me give you Dress Doctor’s rundown of the trends to be seen in NOW: Heritage Prints This expression of being British seems to appear every autumn, like the re-emergence of an old friend. Designers appreciate how convertible and somehow comforting this look is. Prince Charles checks and hounds tooth prints are firmly imbedded in our history and adorn our autumn wardrobe to perfection. My favourite way to wear the pattern is on a tailored blazer or splashed all over a butter soft knit that you never want to remove. The Statement Coat The winter coat is arguably the most important purchase you’ll make this year. This item of clothing will be the finishing touch to many an ensemble, so make sure you choose wisely. The catwalks have been kind to you laying out a plethora of options from camel classics to puffa jacket perfection. The latter Example of an hourglass figure will score high with the fashion crowd and comes in an array of colours and is totally practical and fit for purpose. Silhouettes on the runway have been Article sponsored by this local business large and undone, but as always you can go to the other extreme and choose a belted, nipped in trench coat. The New Neutral Palette When perusing the high street it will be evident that a new colour selection has taken hold that takes its influence from the 1970’s. Caramel, terracotta and creamy beiges are the new shades with which to start your outfit creation. Also, deep shades of burgundy will be extremely popular in the coming months. Metallics and Sequins The most exciting element of this part of the year is dressing up for dancing. The great news it that shiny silver, glitter and sparkle is everywhere. I think the key here is a sprinkle or a dab not a full covering. A Dress with glitzy sleeves or a trouser suit with a sheen when you hold it up to the light. This is not just for after dark, so sneak in a shiny logo or put on a shimmering sneaker – go dance. Look out for my Party Outfit Guide in next month’s issue…

Seasonal Pumpkin Muffins 60ml vegetable oil, plus extra for greasing, 180g self-raising flour 130g wholemeal flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda pinch salt, 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, finely chopped, 2 eggs, lightly beaten 240g cooked pumpkin, cut into ½cm/¼in cubes, handful pumpkin seeds 100ml plain yoghurt, 275ml milk, 1 tbsp honey
Method
Prep 30 min › Cook 10-30 mins › Serves 12 People
1
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Oil a 12-hole muffin tin and line with 12 squares of baking paper. Push the squares down into each hole so that the paper sticks up.
2
Sift the flours, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Stir in the salt and rosemary. (Reserve any wholegrain left in the sieve.)
3
Meanwhile in another bowl, mix the eggs, yoghurt, milk, honey and vegetable oil until well combined.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold the ingredients together, but be careful not to over-work the mixture. Stir in most of the pumpkin, reserving a little for the top of the muffins. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases.
5
Sprinkle the reserved wholegrain, pumpkin and the pumpkin seeds over the muffins. Bake in the centre of the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

MAKING THE PERFECT LEAF MOULD Leaves are one thing we are not short of this time of year, instead of throwing or burning them why not make some leaf mould this year, it makes a great mulch for your borders and beds. Here how... Step 1 Collect the leaves Small quantities of leaves are best gathered by hand using a rake; however, if you have a large quantity of leaves, they can be collected with a special leaf blower vacuum, which shreds the material into smaller pieces helping to speed up the decaying process. Step 2 Add moisture If the leaves are dry, moisten them with a little water. Step 3 Bag it up Bag up the leaves in a large bin bag and punch holes in it to allow the air to circulate. Place in a secluded area of the garden. Step 4 Use chicken wire Alternatively, you can make a simple container made from plastic or wire netting with a few supporting stakes which can be reused year after year. Adjust the size to suit your requirements.

Step 5 A little patience Leave the bag or container untouched for between one and two years. The longer you leave it, the finer the leafmould will be. Step 6 Mulch â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leafmould, which is one to two years old, can be used as mulch around shrubs, herbaceous borders, trees and vegetables - just add it as a layer on top of existing soil. Step 7 Soil improver You can also dig young leafmould into beds as a soil improver for sowing and planting. Step 8 Sowing mix Well rotted leafmould that is two years old or more can be used to make a seed sowing mix. Combine equal parts leafmould, sharp sand and garden compost for an ideal growing medium. Step 9 Potting For established plants, mix well rotted leaf mould that is over two years old with equal parts sharp sand, garden

VENOM
MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 05/10/18 Eddie Brock is a reporter, investigating people who want to go unnoticed. But after he makes a terrible discovery at the Life Foundation, he begins to transform into ‘Venom’. The Foundation has discovered creatures called symbiotes, and believes they’re the key to the next step in human evolution. Unwittingly bonded with one, Eddie discovers he has incredible new abilities - and a voice in his head that’s telling him to embrace the darkness. One of Marvel’s most celebrated anti-heroes comes to the big screen in ‘Venom’. Venom is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is a spinoff to the Spider-Man film franchise and is intended to be the first film in Sony’s Marvel Universe, adjunct to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, and Kelly Marcel, and stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom, alongside Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, and Reid Scott.

BRAIN EXERCISES Worried about holding on to your mental dexterity and memory as you age? Think sudoko, cleverly-marketed computer games and ‘brain exercises’ are the answer? Think again, regular exercise, such as a brisk walk three times a week, is the key to keeping, even growing, your cognitive powers as you age. Despite what the advertisers would like you to believe, there is scant evidence that directly links computer or paper brain exercises with an overall improvement in mental faculties. Instead, these games tend to produce an improvement in the specific task the game trains you in. So whilst these brain games and puzzles are fun and can improve specific skills, there are not a quick fix for mental decline associated with the aging process. A different sort of training, physical exercise, however, has been show to maintain and improve your part of the brain that controls your ‘higher level’ thinking. Numerous animal and human studies have shown that regular exercise improves what is called our ‘executive functioning’. This allows us to choose appropriate behaviour, inhibit inappropriate behaviour and concentrate in the face of distractions. Executive function also influences basic cognitive functions such as processing speed, response speed and working memory. Executive function starts to decline when people reach their 70s. But elderly people who have been athletic all their lives have much better executive function than sedentary people of the same age. Studies have indicated that when inactive people get more exercise, even starting in their 70s, their executive function improves. So do you need to start training for the Olympics in order to remember your shopping list? No! Even just a regular programme of fast walking for 30 to 60 minutes three or more times a week will make a difference to your brain functioning. Plus
you get the added benefits of improvements to your muscle tone, circulation and general health! A big worry for us all as we age is the risk of dementia but again, we should consider an active life as part of our protection against mental decline. We’re not really sure exactly how exercise helps brain function: theories being investigated are the increased production of the feelgood hormone serotonin and improved blood circulation to the brain. So put down that pencil, don’t bother investing in expensive computer games (which encourage you do spend more time on the sofa) and pull on some trainers. If it’s a while since you exercised regularly or you have some problems with backache, foot or knee pain then I’d recommend seeing your local chiropractically trained practitioner before you begin a new exercise programme.

hide age-appropriate sweets all around and decorate as much as you like. They can still dress in costume and experience the joy of surprise sweets and treats. Best part? If they’re tired after a half hour, you can call it a night!
TRICK OR TREAT OR... If you don’t fancy trick or treating this year then here are some festive ideas for you Trick-or-treating is fun for big kids, but for toddlers? Halloween night can be too cold, too much walking and too much sugar for the littlest kids. They’ll likely want to be involved in the big day on October 31, but you might want to keep their fun in check and age-appropriate. Here, a couple creative moms offer alternatives to hiking from house to house on Halloween. Let toddlers have their celebration—and actually enjoy it, too. GARDEN TRICK-OR-TREATING Instead of going around the streets, have your kids trick-or-treat in your own garden and house with a scavenger hunt. You can
DECORATE MINI PUMPKINS No need to carve Jack-o’-lanterns. Arts and crafts are more fun for little kids, so decorate Halloween pumpkins—especially of the small variety that children love. It’s a basic idea, but give them all kinds of fun things to decorate with, like pre-cut paper or felt facial features, buttons if they’re old enough, feathers, stickers, even sweets. Have the kids decorate small pumpkins together; they could be minis or pie-size pumpkins. It’s a classic craft, and the kids can take pride in their handiwork. BOB FOR APPLES Remember this game? Your kids will love it. Bobbing for apples is a classic way for kids to have fun while getting a sweet treat. For a twist on the original, hang doughnuts from string and have the kids eat them with no hands. They’ll love the goodies they’re fishing for, and will probably get a good giggle as well. PLAY PHOTO BOOTH Make use of your little ones’ cute costumes, and capture the Halloween memory. “Let kids live it up in costume with a few simple props. Arrange pumpkins, maybe some bats, or a moon and stars on the wall behind them. Take individual shots—family shots or kids together. Maybe even provide some extra, simple costume itevms, like funny glasses or hats for kids who really want to amp it up.
