The Hot List: Autumnal fashion and beauty buys from boots to jewellery
With the nights drawing in, this week’s Hot List is focusing on all things warm and cosy.
We’ve got knee-high boots for wider calves, funky knitwear from New Look and calming skincare to soothe dry winter skin.
Wish you could get an extra hour in bed every weekend? You can now book a sleep appointment from John Lewis, or try a caffeinated eye cream for a quick fix.
Plus there are some golden goodies that you might want to add to your Christmas list.
John Lewis + Erica Davies boots
What is it about knee-length boots and women’s legs? If you aren’t lucky enough to have super-slender calves, you’ve probably struggled to get that zip all the way up to the top, even when you try on the ‘wide fit’.
Thankfully, fashion influencer Erica Davies has teamed up with John Lewis to create a range of stylish boots that is 15{adb1ce361e4d115852a5ecc77da1fcd21e68b5d23904b1abbfd33825d7fe0fb5} roomier than regular boots.

Calm Shift Lavender & Hazelnut Cleansing Face Balm
A calming cleanser that is kind to skin, Calm Shift — Lavender & Hazelnut Cleansing Face Balm is as relaxing for your skin as it is simple.
The minimalist, plant-based skincare brand Five Dot Botanics uses just five ingredients in all its products.
Anne Marie x New Look collection
Cool, colourful and comfy, the Anne-Marie X New Look collection has finally dropped and we want it all, starting with the Coco Twinkle black diamanté embellished frill collar jumper (£32.99) and the rose blue super wide leg jeans (£34.99).

Grove & Vae Verona Gold Figaro T-Bar Necklace
We love Grove & Vae’s Verona Gold Figaro T-Bar Necklace for its clever T-Bar closure that makes it so easy to wear.
Buy it for £399 from Grove & Vae
Missoma Christmas Cracker
Missoma’s sell-out jewellery Advent calendar (£395) is worth waiting 11 months of the year for, and has a true value of double what it sells for — but this year we are even more giddy about the new jewellery Christmas crackers.
Q+A Caffeine eye serum
Perk up and de-puff tired eyes with energising caffeine, antioxidant green tea, pomegranate extract and cooling cucumber.
The Q+A Caffeine Eye Serum is a fast-acting formula that’s dispensed by a rollerball to massage in the product at the same time.
