My Sentimental Heart

The start of the year always feels like the perfect time to make plans to travel, and if you’re especially canny then it’s also a great time to save some serious pennies in the process. Additionally, if you’re trying to maximise your annual leave allocation, then some strategic planning around Ban…

Just before Christmas, I took the plunge and treated myself to a new Glossier bundle- their Dinner Party Set- perfect for kicking the new year off with some fresh additions to my makeup bag. As well as repurchasing some tried and tested favourites, I also added some new products to my basket which…

As I mentioned in my last post, the lovely thing about heading to Dubrovnik in October was the sheer simplicity of being able to be warm at a time of the year when I’m usually bundled up in knitwear! It’s been a little while since I’ve been able to stash shorts and swimwear in my suitcase, so I pa…

This post has been a little while in the formulation, but I’m really thrilled to be able to finally share some of my top foodie recommendations from Dubrovnik! The food we had on our trip there was just incredible, and each of the restaurants we visited was amazing. We didn’t eat out for every mea…

I feel like I’m always a bit of a broken record when I talk about how I tend to prefer packing practical essentials in my suitcase for when I go away, but it’s a formula which has really worked over the last few years, meaning I only pack what I really need to take- pieces which I’m comfortable in…

Towards the tail end of last year, Covent Garden saw the much-anticipated (if somewhat stealthy) arrival of Glossier’s third London pop-up shop. Occupying a beautifully bedecked selection of units along Floral Street, this iteration of the much-loved beauty brand is resident for slightly longer th…

Back in December (last year!), Hannah, Elodie and I went along to Dalloway Terrace in Bloomsbury for a belated birthday/pre-Christmas catch up. Just a short walk from Tottenham Court Road, it’s a destination which I’d been meaning to try out since it opened, so I was really excited to finally be a…

Last year, I was lucky enough to visit Dubrovnik with my lovely friend Jolene- and it's honestly one of the loveliest places I've ever visited. I put together a photo diary at the time, but now I'm back with a full rundown of how to spend 48 hours in this stunning city, which is plenty…

Another slice of sunshine from Dubrovnik to beat away the January blues with this style shaped post! Over the last couple of years, I’ve become much better at packing light for trips away, investing in versatile staple essentials which work really well in various different iterations. Packing summ…

As I touched on in a recent post, for the year ahead, I'm focus on thirty things which I'd love to accomplish in my 30th year. Not huge changes, but things which I'd like to achieve and which I think will make a massive difference to me on a personal level if I manage to achieve them:

Try as you might, there’s no getting away from the fact that keeping up a regular exercise routine during the winter is hard work. The combination of dark mornings and evenings and chillier temperatures aren’t exactly the most motivating of factors when it comes to getting outside and getting acti…

As another year starts, I’m determined to continue with making more time to read- so much so that one of my resolutions for the year ahead is to get 30 books under my belt! Towards the end of last year I did struggle to get to the end of a few of the novels which I started, but I’m hoping that the…

It seems slightly incongruous to be sharing these images in the depths of winter, but I'm really keen to share some of my style snaps from my trip to Dubrovnik last October, especially as looking back at the sun-soaked surroundings is the perfect antidote to the gloom of the UK in January! Dub…

Welcome to 2020! Happy New Year one and all- here's to a year of health, peace and prosperity- as well as the strength to get through the inevitable ups and downs which the year ahead will bring with it. I haven't made a huge number of resolutions as such this year, but when I turned 30 la…
