My Sentimental Heart

I don't know about you, but as I've grown older, one of the simplest things I've come to appreciate is peace and quiet! Tranquil time is rare in a city as fast-paced and frenetic as London, so sometimes an escape to quieter pastures is essential. Regular readers will know that one of m…

A little bit later on this afternoon, I'll be heading to the airport for a much anticipated trip to Ireland with Hannah, Elodie and Lily! We've got lots planned so I'm sure I'll be sharing a look at the trip with you when I get back, and I've already got my suitcase packed and …

If there's one thing which can be completely relied upon, it's the ability of the Great British weather to be completely and utterly unpredictable. Whether it's sleet, hail, torrential rain, thunder or intermittently tropical temperatures, the passage through spring to summer is one pu…

As I've mentioned in a few previous posts, there are a selection of shops which I only tend to visit sporadically for fear of snapping up everything in sight- and one such destination is COS. Over the years, I've picked up a fair selection of staples from this Scandi style sanctuary, and e…

As the temperatures start to steadily climb once again, I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to the prospect of whiling weekends away in the garden (accompanied, of course, by a good book and copious servings of iced tea!), as well as digging out some of those all too infrequently…

With just under ten days to go until I (easy) jet off to Ireland with some of my best blogging ladies, my thoughts have well and truly been taken over by the prospect of packing. Travelling light is something of a fine art in its own right, and for this trip I'm making a conscientious effort t…

Whilst I love getting dressed up as much as the next girl, I tend to find that sometimes one of the best things about diving into my wardrobe is being able to reach (perhaps a little too enthusiastically!) for those comfortable essentials which are perfect for days when you're a) in a rush or …

Now that spring is well and truly with us, I'm sure I'm not the only one enjoying getting to grips with a fresher colour palette, whether that be switching up my wardrobe staples, updating my accessories or injecting something new into my daily beauty routine. Regular readers will no doubt…

Whilst there are shopping destinations which I visit regularly as a matter of habit (usually on my lunch break!), there are a selection of stores which are real treats to explore with the luxury of a little bit more time. Not that these are for special occasions only, but rather they are spots whi…

A brunch date is always an occasion well worth looking forward to, even more so when it involves a trip to a previously unexplored destination. Last Saturday, buoyed by the prospect of a three day weekend (thank you May Day Bank Holiday!), Hannah, Michelle and I payed a long overdue visit to Grang…

From season to season (and regardless of how topsy turvy the weather might be!), it's always lovely to come back to a staple selection of wardrobe essentials which are favourite failsafes, and pieces which I always enjoy styling in lots of different ways. I'm not sure I'll ever be the …

Goodness me, here we are once again! This year really feels like it's running away with me, and I can't quite believe that we're almost halfway through 2016- madness! The last month has been a bit of a whirlwind, busy but filled with lots of lovely goings on:


My May is looking quite b…

Getting experimental with my go-to beauty products is a pursuit which I rarely indulge in, particularly as it's taken me what feels like forever to settle on a staple selection of productions which I know I can rely on day in day out. Having said that, with spring providing the perfect opportu…
