Summer is gone for another year and as Autumn and Winter approach we leave behind warm weather, sandals, pub gardens and picnics, which has most of us feeling a little glum.
But have no fear, Yahoo Style have put together some handy tips for fighting the seasonal blues.
Update Your Wardrobe
Retail therapy is one of our faves when it comes to the changing of the seasons.
Exchanging your strappy dresses, shorts and sandals for faux-fur coats, knee-high boots and scarves is something that sounds simple but can really help you to look forward to the new season.
An updated wardrobe can make all the difference to your mood!
Why not pick up one of these A/W staples to prepare you for the change in weather.
ASOS Vintage Faux Fur Coat (£70.00), Accessorize Diamond Faux Fur Trim Poncho (£35.00), Cocktail High Leg Heeled Boots (£69.00)
Redecorate and Revamp
Revamping and redecorating can help you to feel ready and prepared for the new season.
Why not start somewhere simple like your bedroom? Add prints, candles and seasonal décor to get you excited about Autumn/Winter.

Get Your Event Hat On
It can be tempting to spend most of the new season at home happily indulging in a Netflix binge, but this can leave us feeling sluggish and unproductive.
To get out of this funk we’d recommend attending and even helping to plan your own events.
Y Plan is an app that allows you to find the best events in your area from quirky days out to fun club nights. Search by area to pre-arrange fun and unforgettable nights out with your friends in London.

If you love cakes and a good ol’ morning treat you can help to arrange your very own Coffee Morning at work with Macmillan Cancer Support. Run every September, workers are encouraged to bake like Mary Berry and bring in their favourite treats for a good cause.
Indulge In Me Time
This is something we all forget to do but investing in some ‘you’ time can help you to see the out summer on a high.
Get a pedicure, read a book, grab a coffee from your favourite coffee shop or watch your favourite movie.
Whatever you do make sure you take the time out to enjoy it thoroughly.
Set Goals
Setting goals and having something to work towards during the winter months can really help you to look forward to the change in season.

Set realistic short term goals to ensure you reach them.
Why not try going to the gym three times a week, cutting down your daily coffee intake or saving an amount of money each month.
These goals, no matter how big or small can help you to feel better about the achievements you can reach in the new season.
Celebrate The Changing Of The Season
Why be sad about the end of summer? The changing of the season means warm homes, hot chocolate, auburn leaves, mulled wine, Halloween, Christmas – the list is never ending!
