After years of dreaming about a getaway to Cornwall, I finally made it to St. Ives and it exceeded every expectation. With its turquoise waters, charming boutiques, sandy beaches, and thriving art scene, this coastal town is the perfect place for an escape.

It comes together in under 10 minutes, making it perfect for busy mornings or lazy brunches.
