What I'm looking at this month in the October Wish List from cosy knitwear, outerwear and the perfect drink for Sober October.
Luca Faloni Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater
Cashmere offers a touch of luxury and comfort that you need when the temperature drops. Luca Faloni's 2-ply cashmere crew neck sweater is what I want to be wearing while in the midst of long distance traveling as it helps regulate my temperature best and is an easy piece to style with smart or casual clothing.

Saucony Endorphin Speed 4
It's always a sad moment when you have to retire a running shoe after Strava tells you you've maxed out the miles. However, the plus side is you can get hold of a fresh pair of running shoes. Since Saucony released the Endorphin range it's been one of the the premier running shoe line ups on the market. I've been running in the previous iterations of the Endorphin Speed, and look forward to getting the Endorphin Speed 4 as it brings back some of the speed and agressive toe-off that was in the Speed 4.

Maurten Gel 100
It's marathon season again. Fuel yourself like a pro during your long runs with Maurten Gel 100 that delivers 25g of carbs per serving. Unlike conventional gels, which are made with a mixture of syrup and additives, Gel 100 has a unique biopolymer matrix of fructose and glucose – enabling rapid absorption of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour and offers a firmer, gel-like texture.

Private White Calf Suede Bomber Jacket
I love this suede bomber jacket from Private White. Stylish and understated luxury handcrafted in Manchester. Perfect to wear over a shirt, t-shirt or knitwear (depending on how how the autumnal day is). The large front pockets are a dream.

Kit Blake Duke Flannel Trousers
Flannel trousers are the ideal trouser for autumn – easy to dress up or dressed down, these Kit Blake flannel trousers can be paired with most items in your wardrobe. These particular flannel trousers are high-waisted single-pleat style with a fuller cut, featuring side-adjusters for a comfortable fit on the waist.

Gloverall Original Monty Duffle Coat
I love a Duffle coat and I think its about time to rock one again during the cooler months. Synonymous with WWII, the Gloverall Montgomery Duffle Coat is named after the iconic wartime commander Field Marshal Montgomery. Featuring wooden toggles and jute rope fastenings. This duffle is made from a fine wool blend and finished with a cotton herringbone webbing interior.

William Crabtree Shetland Sweater
A great layering piece for Autumn is a Shetland sweater. It's a knitwear piece that has real character, while offering warmth and texture – plus it can be slung around your shoulders when not needed.

Botivo Non-Alcoholic Aperitif
Botivo is a bittersweet British aperitif, made in Hertfordshire using five botanicals including wormwood, orange zest and wildflower honey. Each 500ml bottle contains 20 serves – ideal for enjoying as a highball serve with sparkling water and a squeezed orange wedge, or in a variety of other non-alcoholic or low-alcohol cocktails.

Catch Camera
I love a point and shoot camera. I used to shoot a lot of Lomography cameras and miss that fun aspect of film photography. Maybe the Catch Camera can bring back that fun. You can choose from a selection of their 35mm films or go and use some old film that has been gathering dust and get some nice affects once processed and printed.
