My Sentimental Heart

If there's one particular foodstuff which I've become absolutely obsessed with over the last few years, it's pasta. I'd even go so far as to say that it's become a borderline religious fixation, but I honestly think that there's nothing better or more comforting than a big …

Over the last few months or so, I’ve added a few new dresses to my wardrobe, in part to switch things up and also to try and steer myself away from wearing trousers all of the time! I always tend to forget how much I love living in dresses, so it’s always lovely to get back into something of a gro…

At the start of the year, I resolved to dedicate more time to reading- so much so that I’ve set myself the challenge of finishing thirty books in my thirtieth year. Whilst that challenge is ticking along slightly more slowly than I would like (life, oh life!), I have made a point of investing in s…

Working in Covent Garden for the last six years or so, I’ve become very familiar with the area, and have definitely established a favourite selection of haunts, lunchtime walks and dining destinations. Seven Dials is one of my favourite spots in the area, and over the last year or so has seen some…

I feel like I’ve only just hit publish on a post featuring these very items, but I’m nothing if not consistent! I feel like I’m quite guilty of wearing the same pieces on rotation once they’re in my wardrobe, but to my mind this is no bad thing- maximising cost-per-wear and also making life just t…

Now that spring is (sort of!) in the air, I’m sure that I’m not the only one eagerly looking around at all of the new arrivals in the shops with a face like the heart emoji. There’s something about spring which I just love- it’s my favourite season, and I’m always surprised at how inspiring it is …

Without a doubt, we’ve all had moments where we’ve felt frustrated by the way we look. Growing up in a culture which is obsessed with thinness, body shape and losing weight, it’s impossible not to feel slightly intimidated by a constant stream of images of impossibly thin bodies (often heavily alte…

The final of my style posts from Dubrovnik! Whilst the days were lovely and sunny and afforded me the opportunity to make the most of airing some rarely seen summer favourites, it did turn chillier (and often quite windy!) in the evenings, which necessitated wrapping up a little bit. However, Octo…

Towards the end of last year, my lovely walking friends and I undertook yet another trek- this time to beautiful Chawton in Hampshire. After getting the train to Alton, we undertook a pilgrimage to the Jane Austen House Museum- well worth a visit if you’re in the area, and a wonderful way to find …

I’ve posted a few times in the past about my jewellery collection and shared a lot of my favourites in standalone posts. Over the couple of months, my stash has grown a little bit, with the addition of some new goodies which I was very kindly gifted for my birthday, as well as a piece which I trea…

The last but one of my style shaped posts from Dubrovnik! Dressing for a fairly active break meant that I stashed some old favourites in my suitcase, as well as a few summer essentials which I’d only been able to wear a handful of times at home. Given that all of my other breaks last year were to …
