My Sentimental Heart

As I mentioned yesterday, my brain is still struggling to understand how another year has flown by so quickly! 2013 has definitely been a year of extremes, especially with some family health drama which kicked off this time last year which has only really just come to and end. I've also found …

Whilst I'm still in denial that 2013 is coming to an end (when? what? why? how?!!), this little interim phase between Christmas and the New Year (commonly referred to in this house as 'Crimbo Limbo') is definitely the perfect opportunity for a little reflection. Whilst my round up of t…

Yes, I know that Christmas has only just finished and you're probably still working your way through a crate of mince pies, but in the spirit of Slade's Christmas classic, I've already started looking to the future (....it's only just beguuu-nn?!!) and have been drawing up a little…

A few weeks ago, I popped along to the V&A after work to catch the latest of their Fashion in Motion presentations, on this occasion focusing on the visionary work of London based designers Meadham Kirchhoff. I always really look forward to their London Fashion Week presentations as they are s…

Just to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! See you on the other side! x

Whilst this time of the year is generally reserved for getting dressed up and injecting a little splash of festive sparkle into your wardrobe, for me, recent days have been all about keeping things casual and comfortable. Having had a little bit of time off from work and now with Christmas just ar…

I don't know about you, but at this time of the year my complexion usually resembles something considerably more vampiric than usual, and I'm always on the lookout for miracle products to add a little bit of brightness to my face. I'm not blessed with an overly warm skin tone anyway, s…

Remember this post from a few months ago which saw me singing the praises of snapping up second chance items on eBay? Well, since then I've added to my wardrobe with a few more savvy purchases from some of my favourite designers- having missed them completely the first time around. Long term r…

As I've mentioned more than a few times of late, at this time of the year I tend to revert to sloth mode, almost constantly craving a little spell of winter hibernation and the opportunity to recharge my batteries. The chilly weather combined with the frenzy of the festive season can make thin…

A few weeks ago, I popped along to the Marks & Spencer SS14 press day, held against the spectacular backdrop of One Marylebone. After falling in love with their AW13 collection at the start of the year, I was really eager to see what next season holds in store- and I was not disappointed. M&am…

With festive mania now well and truly underway, it's time for the second installment of my Christmas gift guide! This little selection of prospective presents has been put together with the fashion fan in mind- that truly trendy friend, the person who can't stop raving about the latest des…

Now that the crawl towards Christmas has well and truly started, I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to the core cosy components of my wardrobe. At this time of the year, I tend to avoid leaving the warmth of my house as much as possible (is it only be who thinks that hibernation should be m…

For me, one of the only good things about the arrival of winter is the opportunity which it presents for investing in a new coat. I've already shared my recent pink purchase with you, but as temperatures took a tumble a few weeks ago I found myself seeking out something even cosier. Since I…

Pinch punch everyone! I honestly can't quite believe we're almost at the end of 2013- this year really has flown by, don't you think? The start of December is always pretty manic (be sure to check out part one of my Christmas gift guide if you're looking for some present inspiratio…
