My Sentimental Heart

About a month or so ago, Sarah and I popped along a to a very special Next Christmas in July event in Bloomsbury Square. Whilst it might seem slightly incongruous to be thinking about Christmas whilst we're enjoying a last burst of summer sunshine, there's no doubt that the festive season …

As the slow farewell to summer begins, I'm finding myself thinking about how I can adapt some of my warm weather favourites for autumn. The pops of pink which have been punctuating a lot of new high end and high street collections offer the perfect bridge between seasons, and I've already …

You might remember that a little while ago, I put together a post showcasing the best of M&S for AW13. There's no doubt that the new season collection is one of their strongest in a long while, featuring a really directional feel whilst retaining the core values of enduring style and quali…

I don't know about you, but I find that having a ruthless sort out of my wardrobe is a real calm-inducing miracle. For a little while I'd been struggling to find enough space so had resorted to using my bedroom door as a secondary hanging space for a lot of my clothes- all very well you…

If there's one new season fashion story which is already making waves in the shops then it's undoubtedly the return of the pretty pink colour palette. Pops of pink were the order of the day at a solid number of AW13's catwalk presentations (most notably at Carven, Miu Miu and Mulberry)…

With the new series of The Great British Bake Off just around the corner, it's something of an understatement to say I'm ridiculously excited at the prospect of the return of all things cake shaped to my telly. Baking has become something of a weekend ritual for me of late (there's s…

As I mentioned in my painterly themed post from last week, the marble effect print is one which has really caught my eye over recent weeks, and one which I'm definitely going to be investing in more as we ease our way towards autumn. As well as the pretty selection from Topshop which I've …

As some of you may know, I'm a regular contributor to (and now Features Editor of!) Aesthetic. A quarterly print magazine founded by the phenomenal Michelle, Aesthetic is independently published, tailored specifically for the young, opinionated and ambitious female. Bringing together the be…

Well, another whirlwind month has been and gone- doesn't it feel like time is flying by? At this rate it will br Christmas before we know it (I may have already started buying presents!!!) My July was a very busy one, and here's a little look at what I got up to:


How did you spend last mont…

The new season coat is a real transitional essential (rest assured I'll be putting together an edit of my favourites for winter soon!), but is something which most of us here in the UK have hurriedly neglected over the last few weeks- and after what felt like the most 'beyond the Wall'…

As we slowly bid a fond farewell to summer and open our arms to autumn (in fashion terms at least!), I'm finding myself drawn to an abundance of offerings from the high street. So many lovely pieces have already made their way on to my AW13 wishlist (which I'm sure I'll be sharing soon…

As I mentioned in my ASOS post a few days ago, it's quite refreshing to see some early autumn pieces arriving in the shops and online. Whilst the appearance of any new season collection is usually pretty bad news for my bank balance(!), for AW13 I'm resolved to make a few solid investme…

Last Friday, I was lucky enough to be invited along to a very special preview of the summer exhibition at Buckingham Palace. This year marks the 60th anniversary of The Queen's Coronation, and in celebration The Royal Collection Trust have put together a series of exhibits across The State Roo…
