Being in a student house means you only buy a certain number of things before you eventually have to move out or throw it in the skip because someone was drunk and fell on top of it.
In saying that, Au Naturale is a particular favourite of mine when it comes to buying things for the home because it has everything from cups and mugs to art canvases and pillows. I bought myself a cool art canvas of a NYC street at night-time and placed it in my room making me seem not only like I knew what I was doing, but also like I had depth. Groovy.
My girlfriend bought herself a huge mirror (as every girl should have) and after two years it still looks great in her room.
Au Naturale also has a bunch of offers on usually and I got a fleece blanket from them for only a few quid which made all the difference when it came to trying to get out of bed first thing in the morning. Needless to say, I struggled and it was entirely the blanket's fault.
Certainly one of my favourite shops in Belfast and well worth a look. read more
