My Sentimental Heart

I don't know about you, but for me, indulging in a roast dinner on a Sunday is one of life's simplest but most enjoyable little luxuries. During the week I usually tend to eat on the go and in something of a rush, so being able to spend quality time enjoying some hearty food always feels l…

At the moment, as the warmer weather takes hold properly (punctuated, of course by intermittent showers!), I've found myself alternating between some of my favourite block colour basics and a selection of printed pieces. One of the things I love so much about the process of dressing is being a…

In an effort to spruce up my spring skincare routine, over the last few weeks I've been shopping around for a failsafe face mask to use regularly. After spotting a new addition to the Kiehl's collection in their window a little while ago, I made a beeline back to the shop post payday to sn…

As far as style basics are concerned, I'm sure I'm not the only one who owns a host of essential pieces which regularly find themselves on rotation from wardrobe to washing machine and back again. The denim shirt is a staple piece which I tend to reach for at least once a week, and over th…

Exploring new corners of the city is one of my favourite pastimes, and a couple of months ago - after brunching at Foxlow- the gang I and indulged in a leisurely (if rather chilly!) walk from Clerkenwell to Bermondsey, taking in Borough Market, Cross Bones and Maltby Street. Maltby Street Market h…

Whilst regular readers will be well aware of the fact that I'm largely averse (nay, almost allergic) to high heels and largely tend to live in trainers, over the last few weeks a selection of smarter shoes have well and truly piqued my attention. The arrival of the warmer weather has provided …

In my book, there are few things in life as lovely as catching up with friends over some good grub. I never need an excuse to be tempted to try somewhere different to eat, but Michelle's homecoming (and birthday!) a little while ago provided the perfect opportunity to get together with the gan…

One of my favourite touches for any outfit has got to be the collar detail. In my last outfit post, I featured a DIY collar achieved through a little bit of layering, and some of my favourite (as well as some of the easiest!) pieces to style are those which incorporate a contrasting collar or whic…

As I've grown a little bit older and my style has evolved, I've become more and more convinced that practicality is king. Keeping things as hassle free as possible is something which I've touched on in a few previous posts, and a minimal fuss approach is something which tends to domina…

As far as I'm concerned, there are few things quite as enjoyable as embarking upon a mammoth wardrobe sort out only to rediscover a selection of old style favourites stashed away amidst some recent spends. My memory is fairly terrible, so I do tend to forget about some of the older pieces in m…

I don't know about you, but I find that there's something really satisfying about having a good old spring spruce up- particularly if you're in the market for some interior updates. I've got redecorating on the brain at the moment, so have been contenting myself with scouring Pinte…

I've posted before about how the shift in seasons often acts as the perfect excuse to overhaul your day to day beauty routine, but it's also an ideal opportunity to treat yourself to some tlc too. If you, like me, find that winter tends to take a while to shake off, then I'm sure you&#…

Here we are again at the start of another month! This year really is feeling like a complete whirlwind, and I can't believe that Easter has been and gone already! My diary for the next few months is pretty busy already, and it's not long now until I head off to Ireland with some of my favo…

If you're looking for a spot of respite from florals as part of your spring wardrobe, then there are plenty of alternative options in the shops at the moment. Whether it's a painterly print or bold block colour, it's great to see such a breadth of choice on the high street, particularl…
