My Sentimental Heart

A little later on in the year I'll be going to my first wedding! One of my loveliest friends is getting married in Cambridge- and I'm really looking forward to it. No surprises, I've already started shopping around for potential outfits, and it seems that this time of the year is perfe…

After my trip to Bodiam Castle at the beginning of last week, I made the most of the rest of my break from work with a little jaunt down to Brighton! Considering it's just a quick trip away on the train, I really don't know why I don't pop down more often, but whenever I do visit I nev…

A little while ago, an email popped into my inbox from the lovely Raul at Promise Designs, a bespoke jewellery design company based in Spain, introducing me to their products and the beautiful personalised pieces which they create. As I've mentioned time and time again in the past, I'm som…

One of the best things about living a stone's throw away from central London is having access to the abundance of exhibitions which take place here. Only a few weekends ago, I popped along to the National Portrait Gallery for the David Bailey: Stardust exhibition, and you might remember that l…

After a lovely, relaxing long Bank Holiday (can the weekend always be four days long please?!), I've treated myself to the rest of the week off work! I've been feeling a little bit tired and run down of late, so a little break is just what the doctor ordered, and in between indulging in fa…

Since the opening of their flagship branch in central London last year, & Other Stories has definitely become one of my most visited shopping haunts. Not only is their Regent Street store a masterclass in conceptual shopping, but I'm a huge fan of the overall minimalist aesthetic which the…

As far as cult beauty products go, as a rule I'm always fairly late to the party. Having only discovered the wonders of argan oil following my trip to Morocco in February, I've been shouting from the rooftops about how much I love it to anyone who will listen (and not run a mile!) Since st…

The glorious weather at the moment is certainly providing plenty of inspiration when it comes to reinvigorating my wardrobe. It's lovely to see so many bright, vibrant new season pieces in the shops (Zara and Mango are killing it at the moment!), and over Easter I'm determined to have a ru…

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to pop along to the ultra-plush surroundings of the Soho Hotel in Central London for a very special sneak preview of what Next have on offer for high summer. I'm still suffering from a serious case of wanderlust after my trip to Morocco earlier in the year, s…

As I mentioned a little while back, the shift in seasons is a great excuse to have a good sartorial sort out and rediscover some old wardrobe treasures. It's finally getting warm enough to contemplate leaving the house without being wrapped up in thick knits and jeans, and it's been lovely…

Unless you've been living across the Narrow Sea of late, it can't fail to have escaped your attention that this evening (well, 2am UK time!) marks the much anticipated return of Game of Thrones to our television screens! I for one am ridiculously excited at the prospect of returning to Wes…

With the shift in seasons well and truly upon us, I've been rummaging through my wardrobe in search of some forgotten favourites. With the evenings drawing out and the temperatures picking up, my thoughts are firmly focused on summer- and it's making such a difference getting home from wor…

As far as staple shops go, I tend to stick to a handful of favourites and don't really veer too far away from the brands which I know and love. Zara, Whistles and ASOS are all all go-to destinations for me (window shopping or otherwise!), and I'm very much a creature of habit in the sense …
