My Sentimental Heart

The glimmer of sunshine that I saw here today was all the excuse I needed to break out the florals! This afternoon I had lunch with a friend from uni before going to see Avengers Assemble for the third time (such a geek!) It's just one of those films I could watch over and over again and not ge…

This morning, I was up and out of the house early, popping into town before it got too busy to pick up some last minute bits and pieces for my holiday (although to be honest everything about this holiday is starting to feel a bit last minute!) I also snapped up some sale bargains from both Topshop …

...you're in for a Mulberry surprise! From season to season, I'm always really eager to see how Mulberry capture the magic of their catwalk shows in their advertising campaigns, as their long-term collaboration with photographer Tim Walker always results in something special. Their AW12 pre…

A little while ago, I posted about how I am essentially an old, mad cat lady at heart. Suffice it to say then, that one item I've been coveting for ages are Charlotte Olympia's Kitty Flats, which have fast become this year's cult footwear choice. Seen on both the red carpet and the fron…

I don't know about you, but this unpredictable weather has seriously scuppered my summer wardrobe plans. Rather optimistically, I thought June would come along with a blaze of sunshine, and we'd all be enjoying the weather in summer dresses and pretty pastels, but, typically of the British …

If you're anything like me, then you'll love seeking out hidden shopping treasures. There's something quite special about finding a really unique shop amongst so many global brands, especially when you discover a whole host of beautiful pieces you know you couldn't find anywhere els…

I've never been invited to a garden party, nor do I know anyone who has ever held one, but as far as summertime pursuits go, they have to be one of the most idyllic. In what has become something of an annual tradition, this week Stella McCartney presented her Resort 2013 collection at her very …

A few weeks ago, I was invited along to a preview of Forever 21's AW12 collection, along with some lovely blogging friends. Since launching in the UK last year, I have to confess that I've fallen a little bit in love with Forever 21 (in particular their jewellery!), and I'm also really …

If you've been in London recently and have stopped by Karen Millen's Regent Street store, then you can't fail to have noticed their breathtaking new window installations, celebrating the work of Kirsty Mitchell. Three years ago, whilst still designing for Karen Millen, Kirsty began work…

Cinema's latest foray into the world of fairy tales comes in the shape of the recently released Snow White & the Huntsman. The feature film debut of director Rupert Sanders, this interpretation takes us all the way back to the dark, brooding heart of the original Grimm narrative, where the …

It's a bit blustery out there today, isn't it?! I've just got back from having lunch with Sarah and was sure I'd be launched on the way home! This unseasonably stormy weather can mean only one thing- the great British summertime is here, and I've spent the best part of the day w…

Enjoying the Jubilee celebrations over the weekend in quintessentially British style for me meant only one thing- enjoying some afternoon tea whilst watching the rainy (but still spectacular) events of Sunday afternoon unfold from the comfort of my sofa. With some help from my two favourite cooker…

Well, that was a lovely Jubilee weekend, wasn't it? I don't think I've ever felt more proud to be British, and it's been so fantastic to see everyone getting into the spirit of things with street parties, bunting galore and enough cakes to feed the Household Cavalry. Whilst I'm …
