My Sentimental Heart

Now that we've reached the end of September (sob!) and are well and truly headed into autumn, I'm finding myself drawn to an entirely different array of colours whilst I'm out shopping. Whilst I loved the pretty pastels of spring and the vibrant prints of summer, I'm really enjoying…

Raising your hand. Whether it's to ask a question or to make your voice heard, it's just about one of the most powerful gestures in the world. Think about how many times you've put your hand up in your life- from answering a question at school to sharing your opinion with others, it'…

I don't know how you're fairing, but I'm finding it increasingly tricky to know what to wear in this weather! One moment we've got sunshine, the next torrential rain- I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the hailstones, snow and lightning storms appear! When things are…

With the job market being more competitive than ever at the moment, there's no denying that making the right impression at an interview has never been more important. Having myself left university last year and having since applied for what feels like every entry-level position under the sun, I…

Of all the stylish eras gone by, the 1920s is the one which I've always found most fascinating. From the emergence of the flapper and the subsequent move towards less structured silhouettes to the embellished accessories which were so coveted during the period, there's no doubt that the fas…

As I mentioned in Friday's post, one of the things which I enjoy the most about the seasons changing is rediscovering old pieces in my wardrobe. As we all know, the coat is a cold weather staple, particularly during our more unpredictable climate, and, on days like today, waterproof is always …

With the autumn now well and truly upon us (how cold has it been this week?!), I'm revisiting some of my favourite purchases from this time last year and delving into the depths of my wardrobe to retrieve some old pieces. Whether it's dresses, jumpers or boots, I'm determined to ge…

Earlier in the week, I mentioned that I'd popped along to the cinema to see Anna Karenina. Having been entranced by the early trailers released to promote the film, I was really excited to see what it would be like, but have to confess that I was left a little bit disappointed. I don't know…

Now, I'm no economic expert (in fact maths was my least favourite subject at school), but you don't need to be Pythagoras (aka that fella with the triangles) to see that the financial downturn is still ongoing. Now more than ever, every penny really does count, so when Moneysupermarket.com …

This morning I, along with what felt like the fashion world at large sat down to watch the Mulberry SS13 presentation, anticipated as one of the highlights of London Fashion Week. The Claridge's ballroom was transformed into a beautiful, blooming garden for the occasion and the front row was fu…

In the midst of this hectic London Fashion Week, it seems I've got a lot to catch up on! Alas real life has slightly spoiled the party as I've been busy at work over the last few days (hello again ten hour shifts!), so have a lot get up to speed with over a cup of tea when I get a moment or…

Airport waiting- seaside view- plane- my suitcase- first day breakfast- sunglasses and messy hair- iced tea!- fresh raspberries- glasses face!- chicken and salad- a little bit of Henry V- more iced tea!- trip to the supermarket- flower in my hair- holiday accessories- fresh fruit- Topshop travel ma…

Whilst it feels like forever ago since I got back from my holiday, it's only been a few months. It's quite safe to say that I've been prolonging the agony of being back a little bit by putting together these outfit posts, but rest assured that this is the last one! I'm sure I'm …

Whilst it's been lovely to see the sunshine over the last week or so, there's a definite nip in the air which can mean only one thing- autumn is well and truly on the way. As well as using the change in season as an excuse to draw up a shopping list as long as my arm of cold weather wardrob…

Wasn't the weather at the weekend lovely? I'm really enjoying this last late burst of summer, particularly as it's the perfect excuse to enjoy copious amounts of iced tea in the garden! Given that it's been so warm, I've found the perfect excuse to dig out some of my holiday fav…

Having been an avid attendee of the last few London Fashion's Night Out events (see posts here and here), I was so excited to see what the festivities this year had in store. Armed with a map and a detailed plan of where to go, and in the company of my pavement pounding pals, I was really lucky…

With the weather proving distinctly summery at the moment, it seemed a shame not to make the most if it. So, determined to enjoy the last gasp of summer, earlier in the week my mum and I went on a day trip to Brighton! I'm quite lucky in that my hometown sits slap bang in the middle of central …

Well, August flew by, didn't it? It's difficult to believe that we're only a little while away from Christmas(!!!), and even scarier when I realise that it's a year ago to the day that I graduated. Given that I'm still on the grown up job hunt, I've got really mixed feelings…

I don't know about you, but I definitely go through distinct wardrobe phases. For weeks at a time, I'll wear jeans with a variation of t-shirts and blouses, and then I'll swap them for dresses and skirts. Whilst this means that my day-to-day dressing is quite predictable, it does mean t…

On Thursday of last week, I was invited along to the Wonsuponatime launch by the lovely Sarah. I've been a fan of her blog for ages, so when she got in touch about a new business venture which she was behind, I jumped at the chance to go and have a peek. Accompanied by Sarah, Michelle and Aisli…

So September's here, and I've all but dusted off my winter coat when the typically unpredictable great British weather decides to grace us with another week of summer sunshine! Nevertheless, I'm a firm believer in the philosophy that forewarned is forearmed, so have drawn up a wishlist…

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! I can't quite believe we've arrived at the start of September already- exactly three months today I'll be celebrating my 23rd birthday! Scary stuff indeed. Whilst the arrival of autumn (and the prospect of being a year older!) fills me wit…

I don't know about you, but I'm quite indecisive when it comes to making new purchases. Once upon a time I was a terrible impulse buyer, picking bits up here there and everywhere (predominantly in Primark!) only to get rid of them a matter of weeks later when I became bored of them, or when…
