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 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. 



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.

Winter Neutrals



Happy Monday, I can't believe we are only one week away from Christmas and I haven't even wrapped all my Christmas gifts yet (anyone that knows me, will know I normally have them all wrapped by the first week in December).
I have been loving the cold weather steak we've been having recently, again most of this outfit is old pieces, like these Tory Burch boots which I invested in a couple of winters back now and they always get a ton of use.

The Pumpkin Patch



I have always wanted to go to a Pumpkin Patch, I love seeing people's picture of a sea of pumpkins. Pumpkin Patches aren't very common in this part of the UK and while there are farm shops and farmers markets where you can pick up local ones, it's not often you can go and pick your own.
So I was thrilled when Sean suggested we head to one that was an hour and half drive away the other Sunday.
I don't think I have ever seen so many pumpkins in my life, I didn't know which ones to pick. We came home with a mixed selection in the end and they are displayed on our fireplace.
The boy also had to take my outfits pictures for the first time ever, how do you think he did?!

Insta Outfits


TK Maxx Top // H&M Shorts





Another little round up of some outfits I shared on Instagram (@spark1988) during July. You can probably see a little lemon print and blue theme happening. I've been obsessed with anything with lemons on since we went to Sorrento last summer. This lemon print dress just went on sale to 50% off yesterday (there's a super cute romper in the same print on sale too).

Cozy Chemise


I wish I could spend more time curled up in my bed, it is one of my favourite places. The cooler weather is the perfect excuse to spend more time bundled up in thermals, and they can be pretty too like this cute lace detail chemise from Anthropologie! I am a huge fan of the LC for Kohl's leggings I have them in multiple colours and this pair is even thicker than the regular ones, they are so cozy and soft for lounging around in.

Sunshine Skirt

H&M Shirt // ASOS Midi Skirt // Topshop Bag // Anthropologie Hat // Steve Madden Boots//

I have been dying to get my hands on a yellow skirt since I saw Rachel from Pink Peonies wearing this outfit! Enter the ASOS sale and this perfect find, a bright sunshine yellow midi skirt! Since I wanted to wear it now and not have to wait until some warmer weather I paired it with boots, a fall hat and a darker chambray skirt to make it more weather appropriate! I know that a yellow skirt might not seem that versatile but I totally think I will be able to wear this year round!
