My Sentimental Heart

I always love looking at the My Week in Pictures posts which crop up on so many of my favourite blogs, so I thought I'd try something similar. Alas, my life isn't really exciting enough for a post every week (and even if it were I would probably forget my camera more often than not), so I&#…

From next month, H&M stores worldwide will be showcasing the Conscious Collection, a range of clothing created from environmentally sustainable materials such as organic cotton and recycled polyester. The collection, which launches on April 14th, consists of crisp white designs with romantic de…

Whilst the world has moved on to Paris Fashion Week, which is wrapping up this week with the final few shows (so looking forward to Chanel and McQueen!), I've fallen very behind and am only just getting round to posting my picks from Milan. I found a lot of the shows quite disappointing, wasn&#…
