Ever get the feeling that your social media is stalking you, or you just can’t stop seeing a certain type of candlestick? Me too. Of late, there’s been a handful of pieces that just keep appearing on Instagram feeds, from great interior buys to must-have dresses and excellent shoes. In fact, they've become so ubiquitous that everyone's been trying to get their hands on them, which means a lot of them sold out pretty quickly.
Naturally, our interest in interiors spiked massively during lockdown, as our four walls became everything from a cinema to home offices. It’s now more important than ever that our spaces spark joy and are filled with lovely things that don't cost a fortune. And some of the most popular items that have been cropping up on Insta have included Astrid Wilson's printsand The Edition 94’s swirly candles – both of which have been a certified hit with the fashion pack.
Similarly, the trend to #makeamealofit has transformed mealtimes and picnics, causing a surge in pretty pick-me-up pieces like scalloped napkins and kitsch candlesticks from brands such as Anna & Nina, whose colourful candlesticks now have a waiting list of 300+.
Our wardrobes are also due a sprinkle of joy, given that most of us have lived in an iteration of loungewear. It's no surprise, then, that Instagram has been awash with bright colours and snazzy prints, all of which will liven up your wardrobe – and your mood.
So, if you’re looking to treat yourself, or buy something special for a loved one, you'll be pleased to know that these sell-out buys which were once harder to get your hands on than loo roll are now back in stock. From excellent interiors to pretty summer dresses, there's something for every style – and budget.
