My Sentimental Heart

Well, it's the last day of August and the weather has certainly taken a chillier turn, hasn't it?! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I reach for my my winter coat (or find an excuse to buy a new one...!), but for the time being I'm happy enough to throw on a jacket befo…

One of the things which I love about vintage fashion and cult labels of the past is the sense of personality which permeates the work of a lot of designers. From Mary Quant's game-changing minis to Ossie Clark's flyaway florals, personality fuelled pieces have always been the ones which I h…

There's something that feels quite cruel about putting this post together whilst it's pouring with rain outside, but I suppose if there's one thing that the British summer weather guarantees it's an element of unpredictability. Looking back through my holiday photos is also proving …

Whilst I'm not looking forward to the colder weather, darker evenings and predictably constant rain which the autumn will bring with it, there's something quite irresistible about the prospect of filling your wardrobe with lots of new season goodies. Whether it's a new coat (or three!),…

In the three and a bit years that I've been writing this blog, I don't think I've ever put together a post solely devoted to music. Well, all that's changed now thanks to the beautiful sound of Jessie Ware- aka my new favourite artist. Since hearing Wildest Moments on the radio almo…

It seems that the combination of a t-shirt and maxi skirt is one which is rapidly becoming a regular feature of my outfit posts! Having avoided the maxi like the plague for such a long time, I'm now the proud owner of two, both of which I seem to be getting a lot of wear out of. I don't …

If you're anything like me, then you'll have a wardrobe full to the brim with clothes but always forget about a few hidden gems which spend far too much time tucked away behind everything else. Although this might not be the most effective way to make the most of your wardrobe, it's …

The expression 'wearing your heart on your sleeve' is one which I've always loved (even if I'm unsure of how exactly it originated!), and it's a phrase which I think is really in tune with our modern approach to fashion. Where as fashions of the past were largely dictated by con…

tba is one of my favourite independent labels, and one which I've blogged about quite a lot in the past. I always look forward to seeing their latest creations, so you can only imagine how excited I was when I caught a glimpse of their AW12 lookbook:


I love how this collection incorporates a re…

What a lovely weekend! I hope you're managing to enjoy the weather and not getting too hot/sunburnt/flustered! I spent the day yesterday shopping with Sarah before meeting Aisling, Elodie, Lily, Michelle, Sophie and Hannah for a catch up over the most amazing burgers at Fattburger- I'd real…

Call me predictable, but I can't resist a pretty floral print. Long time readers will know and probably be sick to the bones of this fact, but the truth of the matter is that were you to stumble through my wardrobe, you wouldn't end up in Narnia, but a strange wilderness which probably more…

My swimwear woes have been well documented across a few recent posts, and it seems that finding comfortable, wearable and affordable pieces for the beach has been an almost impossible task for a lot of people this year. I for one refuse to pay over the odds for something I'm only going to wear …

Over the last few weeks, London has happily basked in the glow of the Olympic flame whilst the eyes of the world have been watching. As we wait for the Paralympics to begin, I've found the perfect way of keeping the spirit of the London games alive, all thanks to Burberry. For a few weeks now, …

Shorts and a t-shirt have to be the perfect holiday pairing. Easy to wear, comfortable and perfect for embracing the sunshine, it was an outfit combination which I got a lot of wear out of when I was away:

T-shirt- American Apparel Shorts- Marks and Spencer Flip-flops- Primark Bag- c/o Forever 21 S…

If you're a regular reader, then you'll know that I'm obsessed with all things Mulberry. So, when those lovely people at Harrods got in touch with some inside information on their latest offerings from the label, I couldn't resist sharing:

The Mulberry brand, founded in 1971 in the …

Sophisticated, modern and super stylish, the Whistles collection for AW12 has rocketed to the top of my wish list. I'll be saving my pennies for their lace effect prints, perfectly cut coats and stunning silk dresses.
What do you think of Whistles film for AW12?

This sunny weather (hooray!) has suddenly got me searching through my holiday clothes again in search of something cool to wear. One of the great things about going away is picking up pieces which you'd never normally be drawn to, and I surprised myself with a lot of the purchases I made in the…

This year really is flying by, isn't it?! It's hard to believe that we're heading towards the end of the summer, so fingers crossed the sun stays with us for a little while longer at least. Having said that, I did manage to enjoy my fair share of sunshine last month:

1st-14th July- Had …

Well, this weather is making it very tricky to know what to wear, isn't it?! Sunshine one minute, thundery skies the next, and all mixed together with a dose of humidity which makes it impossible to keep cool. Today I popped out shopping with my mum, picking up some baking supplies (in anticipa…

Catching up on all the Fall 2012 Couture presentations has occupied a lot of my spare time since I got home from my holiday, but I spending the odd hour here and there looking at pretty dresses isn't any great hardship, is it?! One of my stand-out collections was from Chanel, as Karl Lagerfeld …

If there's one thing which sets the tone for any Olympic Games, it's undoubtedly the Opening Ceremony. Forget the form book, abandon the media hype and neglect the negativity- when it comes to the official opening of the greatest sporting competition on the planet, there's always a pal…

I told you it wouldn't be long before I was back to my old faithfuls! 'Dress down Friday' was the phrase which dictated my outfit yesterday (this may or may not have had something to do with the fact that I woke up a little later than usual...!), but if you can't wear your comfi…

Whilst I like to think I'm quite adventurous with my wardrobe, in reality I'm quite predictable in my shopping habits. Show me a floral blouse, smock dress or anything with a collar detail and I'm there! Having said that, sometimes it's nice to step out of your style comfort zon…

When it comes to hair trends, the red carpet and catwalk are undoubtedly the best places to seek out inspiration for new styles. I love recreating looks I've seen on the red carpet, and with a whole host of tutorials available via Youtube, capturing a slice of Hollywood hair has never been easi…
