READER EVENT: Autumn, Styled

Join Hood and Spoiled Life for a stylish Sunday in St Andrews, bringing together fashion, friends, brunch and the pieces you'll love wearing all season long.

As summer begins to fade and a new season comes into view, we're inviting you to spend a beautiful Sunday with us at Rusacks St Andrews.

On Sunday 13 September, Hood and our friends at Spoiled Life will host an exclusive autumn fashion brunch designed to help you get ahead of the season in the most enjoyable way possible.

Located on Pilmour Links, overlooking the world-famous Old Course, Rusacks has long been one of St Andrews' most iconic addresses. Following its recent transformation, it has become one of Scotland's most stylish places to stay, eat and gather, with beautiful interiors, exceptional food and spectacular coastal views.

Hosted by the Hood editors alongside the team from Spoiled Life, the morning will begin at 11.30am in The Gallery at Rusacks, where a welcome drink awaits and we'll talk through the pieces, colours and styling ideas set to define Autumn 2026.

At midday, we'll move through to The Bridge, with its sweeping views across the Old Course and the iconic Swilcan Bridge, where guests will enjoy a delicious brunch served with tea or coffee.

As brunch is enjoyed, the season's biggest fashion stories will come to life through a curated presentation from Spoiled Life, with models showcasing key pieces from the store's new-season collections. From effortless knitwear and modern tailoring to elevated everyday dressing, guests will see exactly how the season's most wearable trends translate into real life.

Afterwards, spend the afternoon exploring the cobbled streets, independent shops and coastal charm of St Andrews before heading to Spoiled Life to collect your curated goody bag, enjoy a glass of fizz, discover the new-season collections and take advantage of an exclusive Hood discount on any purchases made that day.

One of Scotland's most respected and award-winning independent fashion stores, Spoiled Life has built a loyal following thanks to its expertly curated edit of contemporary fashion, accessories and lifestyle brands. Expect beautifully made pieces from labels including Damson Madder, Samsøe Samsøe, Skall Studio, Toast, Baum und Pferdgarten, Rabens Saloner and Woodbird, alongside plenty of new-season discoveries selected to earn their place in a modern wardrobe while bringing everyday pleasure.

Whether you're looking for one brilliant coat, a great bag, elevated knitwear or those versatile pieces you'll reach for time and again, this is your chance to discover them first, alongside friends who love fashion as much as you do.

Bring your most stylish of friends and make a day of it. From fashion inspiration and brunch at Rusacks to an afternoon spent exploring St Andrews and discovering the new season at Spoiled Life, it's the perfect way to welcome autumn in style.
