My Sentimental Heart

A few weeks ago, fully equipped with a week off of work (hurrah!) and some sunny weather in prospect, I made a trip down to the glorious Hampshire countryside- more specifically, for a visit to Marwell Zoo. It's a destination which I visited so much as a child, so is a place which holds some v…

With everything in full bloom in the garden at the moment, I've not only been inspired to start arranging vases upon vases of fresh blooms all over the house, but have also been having a rummage through some of my favourite botanical beauty buys. These are real treasures of mine- some of which…

As I've mentioned a few times in the past on these pages, I often tend to get stuck into something of a lunchtime rut during the week. It's all too easy to stick to the same sandwiches day after day, and, if you're strapped for time, it's often pretty tricky to proactively make tim…

Final post from the South of France ahoy! If I'm being honest, I've collated these holiday style posts in a slightly back to front order, but never mind! This outfit, whilst not the most photogenic or fashion forward, was what I pulled together for the 3.45am alarm and the flight to Marseil…

In the ever topsy-turvy world of forward planning and shifting seasons, a couple of weeks ago I found myself meandering my way along to the Cath Kidston AW17 Press Day.

With the outset of summer on the horizon, I'm sure I'm not the only one loving the longer evenings, lighter days and warmer weather. For me, one of the loveliest things about seguing between spring and summer is seeing so many of my favourite blooms bursting back into the garden, and spend…

As well as spending some time taking in the glorious surroundings of Marseille and Sanary-sur-Mer, our trip to France also afforded us with the opportunity to pay a visit to Hyères; more specifically the spectacular Villa Noailles. Although we'd just missed the annual International Fashion and…

One of the lovely things about heading off on holiday (or even on a mini break) is having the chance to snap up some different styles. It's been a little while since I headed off anywhere warm for a long weekend, so, in advance of my trip to France, I was keen to shop around for some summer ho…

As well as taking in the glorious sights of Marseille and Sanary-sur-Mer, my recent trip to France also provided me with the perfect opportunity to snap up some much sought-after pharmacy favourites. Needless to say, I could have spent a small fortune in Sephora (couldn't we all?!), but am ple…

As I touched on in my post from Wednesday, having a beach break is a rare treat- and something which, until my trip to France, I hadn't done in a fair few years. Exploring Marseille was something of a whirlwind, so having a more leisurely time to explore Elodie's hometown of Sanary-sur-Mer…
