My Sentimental Heart

Up until quite recently, I’m ashamed to say that I hadn’t seen all that much of the UK, but 2018 so far has been a year of considerably more exploration than I've previously been used to. After visiting Devon for the first time back in July, August saw in another adventure in the shape of a tr…

As I've touched on in a couple of posts of late, at the end of April I went into hospital for an operation- specifically to get the bottom of what had been causing me chronic period pain over the last few years, as well as a few other equally unpleasant symptoms. Four months on, with my scars …

Now that the hot weather has finally abated, I’m trying to get a little bit ahead of myself in terms of autumn styling. At this time of the year, I always tend to find myself with a wish list as long as my arm of standout pieces in the shops, but this season I’m determined to take a slightly more …

One of loveliest things about having a blog is the fact that I’ve come to meet some of my closest friends through being a part of this collective online community. Whilst I do miss the early days of blogging, where it was always lovely to put faces to names at events and the like, I’m more gratefu…

When it comes to everyday beauty products, it's often difficult to unpick exactly why the hero products which we all reach for each morning are such indispensable staples- the real essentials just tend to blend seamlessly into the day, carrying you through until the evening with no need to rea…

One of London's hidden, if often Instagrammed gems is Petersham Nurseries in Richmond. I've been a dedicated visitor to their sister shop in Covent Garden since it opened last year, but, up until recently I'd never made it along to their original site. Accompanied by some blogging babe…

This post feels a little bit out of date given that as I type this it's absolutely tipping it down outside and the heatwave feels like an entirely distant memory! It's also totally typical that the moment I snap up some warm weather style heroes, the skies darken and the temperatures take …

With the arrival of summer, longer evenings and plenty of opportunities to make the most of the balmier weather, navigating a seemingly neverending series of drinks invites is one of the trickier aspects of this time of the year. For me, as a teetotaler, it can also be difficult to find non-alcoho…

It's never really something which I've thought all that much about before, but this summer I've been switching up my daily perfumes, steering away from the classics which I would normally wear on a daily basis in favour of some more seasonally appropriate scents. Whilst my favourites f…

It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve posted a foodie roundup on these pages, but a few weeks ago the perfect opportunity to try somewhere new cropped up. With Elodie in town, Hannah, Sophie, Michelle and I decamped after a sweltering day to Bao in Fitzrovia, a destination which well and truly t…

*Looks around tentatively*- I don’t want to jinx it but it seems like we’re finally getting a break in the heatwave, and some long overdue respite from the warm temperatures. Needless to say, I’ve scarcely anticipated a cold spell more- and am delighted to be able to go back to reaching for jeans …

Just over a fortnight ago, I made my first trip to Devon! I'm quite frankly embarrassed that it's taken me all of my 28 years to make it down there, but this visit has got me well and truly converted. Along with a gang of fabulous friends, I had a lovely sun-soaked weekend, complete with b…
