The arrival of autumn disrupts the upbeat tempo of summer.

The sun sets sooner, the weather cools down, and subsequently, we retreat into our homes to refresh.

A time of small comforts, autumn invites us to take pleasure in idleness, the simplicity of a warm meal, and the recharging fragrance of a candle that aromatically soundtracks the season’s short days.

Here, find hand-selected burners to hallmark the transition into the quiet rhythm of the coming months.

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
