As you probably saw on my Instagram, I packed my bags and made my way over to the Isle of Man to visit my best friend Lucas and what a jam packed four days we had! I made sure I had my camera, as I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to take thousands of photos as a way to treasure memories.

I met Lucas when we were both at university in Falmouth, he had told me a lot about the island so I was incredibly excited to visit his home. I have been on many trips around the UK and I have explored some beautiful parts of the country but there was something truly magical about the Isle of Man. Since university I have been OBSESSED with the idea of living by the sea so being accessible to several beaches is the ultimate dream. 

Even though I was only visiting for a short time, Lucas and I managed to drive the entire length and breadth of the Isle of Man. Everywhere we went I felt a strong sense of community, which made me feel right at home! Similar to Cornwall, there were many seaside towns but there were also vast mountainous areas, like the Lake District - the perfect combination!

From outstanding coastline walks and almighty forest treks to mud covered cars and the best ice cream I have ever had, there are many reasons why I am already looking forward to my next trip over to the Isle of Man. Here are some photos to show you why.

 

 

 

A HUGE thank you to Lucas, his wonderful family and friends for such a fabulous four days. You wont be able to get rid of me now!

Have you ever visited the Isle of Man? Hope you enjoyed. Now, LETS GET FESTIVE!

On a cold autumnal evening, you can find me snuggled up on the sofa with a hot chocolate, browsing the internet for new homeware pieces (or I'm on ASOS). I don’t know whether it’s just me or you do this too but I sit for hours designing what my future house is going to look like. I have a crazy amount of interior inspiration saved on Pinterest and it’s starting to get out of hand but I just can’t help myself. So with this post, I hope to inspire some of you who are either moving house, re-designing your university bedroom or whether you’re just like me whose obsessed with interior design.

There are so many amazing stores out there and I have picked some of my favourite bits out for you.

Black Letter Board from Ruby Roost - £72.95

I have been seeing these boards EVERY WHERE and I must admit, I am obsessed with the way they look. They make your typical noticeboard look cool and unique which makes this a perfect accessory to have in your room or office. Even though it looks nice, I also feel having something like this would be incredibly motivating as you would want to write a to-do lists and get them done!

Framed Tropical Leaf Print - £95

I am instantly drawn to anything that has a plant on it so this leaf print is just a dream! What I love about this is how minimalistic it is yet it would transform a room with a pop of colour. This would look gorgeous either on its own or surrounded by smaller prints. This is just a perfect piece to make a room look fresh and classy.

Monogram Herringbone Throw Blanket by Cathy’s Concepts - £47

Lets be honest, how bloomin’ cosy and warm does this throw look? Perfect for a cold winters evening, snuggled up on the sofa with your blanket and a hot chocolate. I also LOVE that you can personalize it with initials, a really lovely gift idea!

Patterned duvet cover set - £34.99

This duvet cover is perfect for anyone’s bedroom but what makes it even better is its double sided so if you fancy a change, just turn it over and there you go! If you love the minimal geometric pattern but you’re not a fan of grey, you can also buy it in pink, what’s not to like?

Rose And Orange Blossom 3 Wick Fragranced Candle - £14

Everybody loves a good scented candle but what stood out for me was the gorgeous rose gold holder – a bloggers dream. An amazing smelling candle and an item that will look fabulous in a flatlay, win win!

Have you been loving any homeware items? If so, leave me a link in the comments below, I would LOVE to have a look.
