My Sentimental Heart

Back in April, you might remember all eyes being focused on Marks and Spencer, in anticipation of the launch of their first Archive by Alexa range. The collection, which saw with Alexa Chung cherry pick a selection of classic pieces from the M&S annals to rework and relaunch went down an absol…

With the evenings drawing in and things taking a decidedly chilly turn, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been reaching for an extra layer or two (or three!) over recent weeks. Whilst I'm not the biggest fan of winter, it does always present the opportunity to spruce things up in t…

Although London is a city with infinite things to do and more to see than you'd ever be able to possibly find time for, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is guilty of tending to visit the same places time and time again. It's pretty easy to get stuck in a routine in terms of the pl…

Last Friday, accompanied by Lily, I made my way along to the V&A for another of their Fashion in Motion events, this time held in celebration of House of Holland. Founded in 2006, this year the label is celebrating its tenth anniversary- providing the perfect opportunity to look back at a seri…

When it comes to classic scents, Chanel's iconic N°5 is well and truly up there as one of the best. It's been a special occasion only essential of mine since I was given a bottle as a present on my 18th birthday, and it's a fragrance which I don't doubt will always be a fixture on …

Although my day to day wardrobe usually tends to lean far more towards the casual side of the style spectrum, in recent weeks I've been happily rediscovering some of my smarter wardrobe staples, as well as picking up some new season essentials on the high street. There's a lot to be said f…

With winter just peeking over the horizon, I'm finding myself (however reluctantly!) reaching for my staple supply of cold weather clothing. Whilst I'm yet to go into full blown winter coat mode, as I type this I am kitted out in a whole host of layers (as well as a hat!), and am looking h…

I don't know about you, but I think there's something lovely about delving into your wardrobe at the start of the new season and rediscovering some old essentials- in a way, it's like meeting up with old friends, don't you think? Having said that, I am seriously overdue a wardrobe …

With the evenings drawing in and the onset of winter mere weeks away, I'm sure I'm not the only one using the shift in seasons as the perfect excuse to settle down wrapped in the duvet with a selection of good books- whether that be old faithfuls or newer releases. Over recent weeks I'…

Whilst there's a definite chilly feel in the air at the moment, I've been quite taken aback at just how warm the last few weeks have been- and have been slightly bamboozled in the style stakes as a result! When we had that little heatwave at the start of September, the last thing I wanted t…

Another month bites the dust! I know I say this at the start of almost every one of these round ups, but honestly- where on earth is the year going?! It'll be Christmas before we know it, wont it?! The last four weeks have completely whizzed by, but in all honesty have been fairly quiet- featu…

Another weekend, another brunch date- this time in celebration of Lily's birthday! In search of an alternative to the usual eggs and avocado on toast, we descended en masse to Shackfuyu- a destination we'd visited for dinner before. Their recently launched brunch menu had us eager to make …
