My Sentimental Heart

Last Friday, I was lucky enough to swap my usual end of the week surroundings for the peace and tranquility of The Covent Garden Academy of Flowers. I'd been invited along to their very special Vintage Flowers course for the day, and the prospect of spending the day surrounded by beautiful blo…

At the start of the month, I made my first trip to Cambridge for my lovely friend Katy's wedding. As well as making the cake, I pitched in to help with the flowers and setting up the venue, which was all good fun- and I really loved being in the middle of the countryside too as it made a very …

Now that there's a definite chill in the air of a morning, I'm sure it won't be too long before I end up reaching for some of my favourite coats, and although it's not essential to buy a new one season after season, sometimes injecting a fresh feel into your winter wardrobe is the …

Whilst I'm definitely no trendy Wendy, one of the most fun things about fashion is being able to enjoy constantly evolving styles and get a little bit experimental every now and again. In the past I've mentioned that I'm now more resolved than ever to only invest my hard earned pennies…

After my post from last week focusing on technology, I'm back with news of a very exciting giveaway! If you want to be in with a chance of winning a gadget bundle, including all of the amazing gizmos which were in my review round up, then all you need to do is follow the easy peasy steps below…

If you're a regular reader of these pages, you'll know that things started way back in 2009, the bits and pieces which I post about have evolved as time has progressed and I've grown up. However, posts about my adventures in baking have proven to be something of a regular fixture aroun…

As I mentioned in my post from Monday, sometimes you can't beat going back to basics and investing in some classic black pieces. It's a shade which is an undoubted wardrobe staple, and a truly timeless hue which is ultra versatile in terms of how it can be styled. A few weekends ago, I cau…

Up until I was introduced to the iPad, I'd never really considered myself to be particularly tech savvy. However, with an endless array of apps at my disposal, I've become well and truly clued up, and now find myself veering into nerd (or should that be nerdier..!) territory, particularly …

My skincare favourites have been rather well documented on these pages over the last few months, particularly as I try to settle into a routine which my suits my 'grown up' complexion and keeps my face feeling as fresh as possible. Although my day to day go to favourites are ideal for clea…

If you believe what you watch on Netflix, then you might be forgiven for thing that Orange is the New Black. Whilst I'm still seriously behind on the show (always late to the party!), I'm convinced that, in the fashion stakes at least, black is well and truly here to stay. For the coming s…

Fingers crossed, by the time you read this, I'll be in Cambridge at the wedding of one of my oldest friends! It's something which has been in my diary for ages, but has come around so quickly- and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like the year has completely run away from th…

Looking back, it feels like an eternity ago that Sarah and I snapped these pictures in the grounds of Buckingham Palace after previewing theRoyal Childhood exhibition- but thinking about it, the weather that day was just as unpredictable as it is at the moment, as we found ourselves caught in a do…

This inbetweeny weather is definitely something which is proving pretty problematic to negotiate, don't you think? Torrential rain one minute, a peek of sunshine the next, and just enough of a chilly breeze in the air to have you seriously thinking about reaching for a coat. I have to confess …
