Where To Find Pumpkin Candles in the U.K

Happy Wednesday! Who else is excited that Autumn is finally here?? I know I am and I cannot wait for this season to get in full swing. 

There are lots of things I love about the Fall, but one thing is all the candles, Fall fragrances are definitely the best. 

If you live across the pond then you will find find pumpkin everything this time of year, but here in England we don't quite have the same passion for pumpkins yet. It's the time of year when I start wishing that we had Target over here more than ever. 

It has definably become easier over the past few years to find pumpkin goodies in the U.K and I thought I would round up my favourite places to find pumpkin candles here for you all. 

Flash back to five years ago and the candle in this post here was the first pumpkin candle I ever found and I was so excited about it, I'm so happy they are easier to find nowadays! 

Anthropologie Pumpkin Souffle Boulangerie Candle

Anthropologie is always one of the first places I look for seasonal homewares. As they are an American company they were one of the first places you could find pumpkin goods. This candle is hands down my favourite pumpkin candle I have ever owned. This one is on the pricier side, so for me it was a treat when Anthro had a sale. If I could afford to I would burn this candle every day of Autumn. 

B&M Stores Pumpkin Waffles Candle

If you are looking for a budget friendly option then head to your nearest B&M stores. 

A couple of years ago B&M introduced a line of candles that looked pretty similar to the famous Bath & Body Works Candles, but the price range was only £2.99-£3.99. 

When they first launched they had a whole range of pumpkin candles {seen in my post here} and every year I keep crossing my fingers that they will bring them back  but alas they haven't yet. They do still have this pumpkin waffles candle in store though which has quite a subtle fragrance and a price tag that can't be beaten. 

DW Home Candles via T.K Maxx

My all time favourite place to search for pumpkin candles though? I'm sure it will be no surprise that it's T.K Maxx {or Homesense if you're lucky enough to have one nearby}. It's where I found my very first pumpkin candle. They use to appear rarely but now they have a huge selection this time of year, such a big selection in fact I always have a hard time picking out which ones to take home. DW Home is a common brand you'll find in T.K Maxx and one I personally love. They have a huge range of pumpkin scented candles in all shapes and sizes and I love all the different designed jars you can find. The wooden barrel was a find in Homsense last year {that will become a base for a flower arrangement one day} and the black and white plaid is the lastest one I picked up, I'm a sucker for anything plaid. 

And if you really crave one of those Bath & Body Works 3 Wick Candles then you can always pick one up on Ebay, I may have treated myself to one this year! 

I'd love to know if you have any favourite places to pick up candles this time of year, leave your suggestions in the comments below.

August Favourites

Happy Friday! So I've managed to get my August faves up just very slightly sooner than my July ones. Most of these I unfortunately can't link you to, but hopefully you'll be able to find them in a store near you! 

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Body Creme

I have been a huge fan of Jo Malone since I discovered the brand around 5 years ago! I love to layer their scenes and create my own combinations and I recently went to their store in Jarrolds Norwich and tried out some some fragrances. I ended up taking home this Body Creme in Wood Sage & Sea Salt. I remember smelling the cologne when it first came out and thinking it was nice but I wasn't sure if it was me. However I tried it in the body creme in store and was in love. I prefer how the creme smells on my skin and it's lovely layered with my favourite Nectarine Blossom & Honey. 

American Eagle Soft & Sexy Long Sleeve Crew

I think this sweatshirt is now sold out but there is a whole bunch of other pieces made in the soft and sexy fabric and I may just have to pick up some more! This might be the softest thing I have purchased in a long time. It's super snuggly and was perfect for the chiller Summer evenings. I'll still be wearing it all the way through Autumn and probably into Winter too. It's a perfect year round piece. 

San Pelligrino Lemonades

A bit of a random one but these lemonades are my favourite. They come in a whole bunch of flavours but the lemon and blood orange have been my favourite this Summer. My Mum got me a whole bunch of these for my birthday and it has kept as stocked for the entire Summer. I try not to drink too many sugary drinks but these I have a weakness for! 

H&M Straw Bag

I probably didn't need another straw bag in my life, but who am I kidding this one had to join my collection. It was from H&M so it was super affordable and while it's not the strongest straw bag I own I think it'll last a few Summers. I was drawn to this bag because of the drawstring pouch inside, that also just happened to be blue and white stripes. I love basket bags but sometimes I worry I am going to spill all of my things everywhere so this one helps keep all my belongings safe. This bag kept selling out in store and online so I had to keep checking back for a good few weeks before I managed to grab one! 

Aldi Fig Garden Candle 

Diptyque candles are one of my favourites but I only have a few that were purchased as very special treats as they are out of my normal budget. I've always wanted to own one their big candles....maybe one day. This Summer Aldi had a special buy on these candles that can be used outdoors or indoors. I think they were £8 or £9 and since I haven't burnt mine yet I can't comment on how fragranced they are but for decoration you can't beat the price tag. I love the simple classic design and they look lovely on a coffee table or by a fireplace. 

Cat Necklace {Birthday Gift}

My last favourite for August is this beautiful necklace I was gifted from my friend Laura for my birthday. I love the sweet little cat design and every time I wear it I am reminded of Bella and also Laura. I had sent Laura a similar penguin one for her birthday and so these are like a grown up friendship necklaces to us now. 

So that was my little round up of the things I was loving in August and I will be back in a couple of weeks with my September Favourites! I would love to here what some of your Fall Favourites are so I can give them a try too. 

Palais-Royal Stripes

Dress: Zara {identical} // Sandals: Iris // Hat: Nordstrom //

Bag: Purchased in Venice {similar} // Sunglasses {similar}

Would you believe me if I told you I started this post back on July 13th?! Well you probably would given my track record of blogging this year!
I thought I would finally get this post finished and press publish before 2019 and arrived haha!
You will have seen this dress on the blog already {here or in my June Faves}and that's because it was my favourite dress of the Summer so of course it was coming to Paris with me!
Although I have been to Paris a few times, this was my first trip to see the Palais-Royal and I know everyone loves the striped pillars but my favourite part was the gorgeous blue windows, dream houses goals anyone?!
Fun Fact for you all, if you follow me on Instagram you might remember in my old bedroom where I use to take pictures of my outfits there was always an Anna with Love print behind me? That is a snap from the Palais-Royal that Anna named Parisian Wonderland {you can purchase it here}. It certain is a dreamy little spot in Paris and one you should definitely stop by!
