My Sentimental Heart

Now that the mania of Black Friday has just about dissipated, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is getting excited for the arrival of Christmas! Whilst I have to confess that I've only picked up a few presents so far, I've been having a good old browse to seek out a selection of go…

I don't know about you, but I always tend to find that one of the best antidotes to the winter blues is to start looking ahead to sunnier days as soon as possible. Whether it's booking a holiday, changing your desktop background to a picture of a tropical beach (guilty as charged!), or get…

Although temperatures have definitely taken something of a chilly turn, at the moment I'm still trying to incorporate some statement favourites into my day-to-day wardrobe. Over the last few years, I've resolved to try and make more of my purchases earn their keep across the seasons too- s…

The V&A's Fashion in Motion events are always a wonderful way to spend and evening, and, having been lucky with tickets, last Friday Lily and I popped along to their latest catwalk presentation- this time celebrating the archive of Peter Pilotto. I've been to a few Fashion in Motion sh…

By the time I publish this post, I expect the temperatures will be feeling well and truly wintery (if the forecast is anything to go by, at least!), but we've had quite a solid run of mild weather so I suppose I shouldn't complain. Having said that, although I'm a winter baby, I'm …

Although it's grey and gloomy outside, I'm determined not to let those pesky winter blues win, and have been finding plenty to keep me distracted, particularly as we head towards the festive season. I'm also using the chilly weather as the ideal excuse to ramp things up on the pamperin…

With winter now well and truly heading our way, I'm managing to rather successfully distract myself from the prospect of living in jumpers for the next few months by getting a little bit ahead of myself and exploring what some of my favourite brands have in store for next season. I mentioned i…

With the imminent arrival of the new Star Wars adventure in the cinema (I am so excited!), it's perhaps no surprise that fashions for this season have been distinctly infused with a sense of space age style. Whether it's star prints, repeated rocket motifs or a sprinkling of shimmer, there…

I don't know about you, but day to day, I don't tend to plan or pre-ponder what I wear- something which usually tends to result in a morning panic of rather epic proportions when I've got five minutes before I have to leave the house and am still scrabbling around in my wardrobe search…

After talking in my last post about the unexpectedly balmy weather we've been having of late, surprise surprise- this weekend proved to be a complete washout! I'm sure I'm not the only one who has spent the majority of the last few days wrapped up in my duvet catching up on some much ne…

Whilst the onset of winter generally has me rifling through my stash of jumpers in search of some much needed warm woollies, over the last few weeks I've been really surprised at just how mild things have felt, which has allowed me to cling on to little sense of summer in the sartorial stakes.…

For me, the shift in seasons is a perfect reason (or, indeed, excuse!) to snap up some new beauty purchases. With the festive season just peeking over the horizon, the shops are choc-full of limited edition goodies- and I'm sure I'm not the only one eagerly drawing up a shopping list in an…

Crikey, how on earth did we make it to November?! I feel like it was only a matter of moments ago that I was getting in a tizz about last Christmas, but here we are on the cusp of December once again- and it will probably come as no surprise that I'm still feeling frazzled! Although the last m…
