We hope you were are all prepared for the clocks going back and you have been keeping well and cosy at home this blustery weekend! We are all making our wish lists for a few road trips and minibreaks away. It might be to escape for some me time or to enjoy the company of and visit your nearest and dearest (socially distanced and preferably outside of course) and cheer up our Autumnal blues.

Here is a sneak preview of our articles for HotEnough.com with the low down on visiting Cambridge this season. We would like to give you some charmingly British, style inspiration. Just follow the links below to HotEnough.com to see the photos and read about where to check out first.

Our favourite places are those that support the high street boutiques and market stall holders in Cambridge. We have liked the Futon Company for years ever since we were students wanting to furnish our first 'digs'. Their reasonably priced furniture is useful and stylsh. Fatface is a must for all the outdoors gear and warm woolly we all need at this time of year when the cool wind starts to blow. The Cambridge Fabric company is full of gorgeous colours and British designed textile finds.

It's a joy to browse around the Market Square and visit the arts and crafts fair. There are some good quality vintage and second hand charity shops to take a peak in if you have time too. Pre-loved fashion is always a purse friendly, ethical and sustainable option and its fun to look through the ecclectic rails. 

Being an academic capitol there are always the super book shops to stop by and peruse. Ideal for picking up some bed time reading for the longer nights ahead.

Cambridge has an awesome selection of cafes but for the view then taking coffee upstairs in Starbucks, at the Market Square, definitely has the edge. We recommend the independent bakeries dotted around the city that sell lots of special hot drinks too.
