My Sentimental Heart

Last Friday, full of pre-weekend energy, I made the most of my lunch break by taking a trip to Burberry Makers House- a temporary installation-come-exhibition which popped up in celebration of London Fashion Week, and which sadly closes its doors today. I'd missed their last Makers House durin…

Regular visitors to these pages will be well aware of the fact that I’m something of a self-confessed floral fanatic, whether it’s nurturing new blooms in the garden or searching out pretty floral prints in the shops. About a year or so ago, I was lucky enough to cross paths with the lovely Sue of…

Whilst I'm hastily crossing the days off of my calendar until the arrival of spring proper (it's March next week, wahooo!), I'm also gearing up for the arrival of the new season by road testing some fresh beauty essentials. I don't tend to deviate from my day to day routine all tha…

Sometimes all that it takes to help in rediscovering some old style favourites is a good old fashioned clear out. Whilst I'm yet to tackle a full (and long overdue) dissection of my wardrobe, I've been having intermittent rummages over the last couple of weeks, primarily motivated by an ne…

Now that the temperatures are *whisper it* creeping towards double figures, I think it's high time to start contemplating some spring styling. There's always something energising about this time of the year, especially as the sun starts to reappear for longer stretches of the day, and ever…

When it comes to the crunch, I'm generally a creature of habit- particularly when it comes to lunchtime eats. For expediency of time, I'll usually opt for a speedy sandwich on the go, but now that the weather is pepping up (at least a little bit!), I'm determined to make the most of my…

Just when you think you've gone and mastered understanding the Great British weather, along comes another freezing cold snap to well and truly remind you never to cast a clout until May is out! I have to confess that I'd been more than a little eager to pack away my winter woollies for ano…

Anyone who knows me well will tell you that there are few things in life which make me happier than a fresh bunch of flowers. Whether freshly picked from the garden or picked up on the way home of a Friday night, I always feel at my most relaxed when I'm arranging beautiful blooms in a vase- a…

Last Saturday saw the first girl gang brunch date of the year, as Sophie, Hannah, Lily and I ventured to Warren Street to sample the delights of Honey & Co. It's a destination which has been on my foodie bucket list for what feels like ages, so a belated birthday celebration (Sophie) and a…

Whilst I usually tend to live in jeans and combinations of various blouses, jumpers and tees (a girl for all seasons...),sometimes (believe it or not!), I do like to switch things up a little bit and embrace a smarter slice of style. Easier said than done when you're battling against the clock…

Last weekend, I made the most of a leisurely (and surprisingly sunny!) Saturday by paying a visit to the beautiful RHS Wisley. Surprisingly (especially given that it's not too far away from where I live), it was my first visit to the gardens, in search of some botanical inspiration, as well as…
