My Sentimental Heart

And, just like that another Friday rolls around! This week has felt slightly more structured than the usual, primarily because of the Bank Holiday on Monday, but if I'm being honest I've found the last week pretty tough to negotiate. I think it's more than just every day feeling the sa…

This is getting slightly repetitive now, isn't it?! But, here we are- at the end of another month and with things looking just as unclear as they did this time last month. I'm honestly trying not to think too much about the whole situation, especially as I'm really not sure what it mea…

With most of us spending more time than usual at home over the last couple of months, the chances are that a lot of us will have been paying a good deal more than usual attention to our general surroundings. Whether you're mindful of what's on screen when you're mid-Zoom call, or have …

The end of another week! I think I've found this week the toughest so far to be honest- today I was supposed to be heading to Northern Ireland for the long weekend, and losing that trip has made me feel a lot sadder than I was anticipating- probably because I (probably a little bit naively) th…

Here we are again! Another week down and everything is sort of merging into one, but here we are! I've settled into a bit more of a routine with things now, and am getting a couple of solid mornings of writing in a week now, which I'm really enjoying, and I'm also really loving being a…

I've been on furlough from my job for about five weeks or so now, and whilst there's a lot to enjoy about having a break from working, it's also been a pretty unsettling time too. I've never not worked, and since I graduated back in 2011 (nearly 10 years ago, good grief!), I've…

Another week bites the dust! Whilst it's tricky to maintain a sense of time just at the moment, I am still finding myself getting a little bit excited for the weekends, as Saturday has become my designated baking day. Curating this series has also helped me to have a little bit more of a struc…

Here we are again! Another week and another outfit post from the archive! Looking back at these photos, it feels like a lifetime ago that we were able to so freely wander about, and needless to say that it also feels like a lifetime ago that I wore anything other than jogging bottoms and t-shirts! …

I'm a solid believer in serendipity and have been for as long as I can remember, but the fact that BBC Three's adaptation of Normal People made it on to our screens amidst the lockdown feels like a miracle. Not only has the timing of the release seen it rocket to the top of the iPlayer'…

Another week of lockdown life done! I don't know if I'll ever get used to this strange new normal, and for the moment at least it feels life is still very much on hold and will be for some time longer at least. Anyway, I'm trying to embrace it as much as I can and not let the uncertaint…

Now that we're firmly at the start of another month, and spring is stretching out into early summer, peony season is well and truly here. These superstar blooms are without question some of the most popular, and their aesthetic appeal has made them firm favourites on the 'gram too. It'…

Another week into lockdown life and I'm still working my way through my back catalogue of archive outfit snaps! Usually I'm so behind with these that by the time I share them the pieces aren't all that seasonally appropriate, but time seems to be meaning so many different things just a…

Whilst I can't quite believe that we're in May already (and let's face it, more or less every day is the same at the moment!), the longer that lockdown continues, the more I find that I'm really missing the little things from week to week which put a smile on my face. One of the si…
