My Sentimental Heart

Things have definitely taken a chilly turn over the last few days, haven't they?! Now that the reality of winter is biting home and we're on the brink of another spell of being at home, I'm trying to keep as positive as possible by looking back on some of my snaps from the summer. It fe…

Aaand, just like that, we've got another 'new normal' to adapt to. Phew. It's tricky to keep track of things right now, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has got no real sense of whether I'm coming or going. I had hoped that once we were on the home strait to Ch…

For me, the cosy spirit of autumn tends to mean a few things- usually making a list of the period dramas I need to (re)watch, as well as setting myself up with a stash of books to see me through until Christmas. I don't know what it is about this time of the year which makes me so eager to buy …

As we ease into the final week in September, my thoughts are naturally shifting towards my cold weather wardrobe. In a previous life, right about now I'd be almost knee-deep in a stock take of my knits and winter coats, but as things have shifted so much this year and I'm no longer facing t…

With the brand new series of The Great British Bake Off kicking off tomorrow (finally, something good for 2020!), it felt like high time to resurrect this series! Like most people, I've really resurrected my love for baking over the last six months, and during lockdown it really was one of the …

A few weekends ago, I kickstarted a (so-far!) sunny September alongside my dear friends Hannah and Steve for a road trip down to Kent and a visit to the beautiful village of Bridge. This foray along the motorway was for a very special lunch trip to The Pig at Bridge Place- Hannah and I were all boo…

As I touched upon in my last style shaped post, I'm not quite ready to wave goodbye to the summer just yet, so for the next few weeks I'll be sharing some snaps of the outfits I've been living in lately. As it happens, it seems that I'll be able to get a little bit more wear out of …

Although it might not feel like it today (hello, 29 degrees in September!), autumn is well and truly on the horizon. Although it feels strange as heck to be headed into the final quarter of the year with so much of it having been spent living in limbo (and largely indoors!), there is something quit…

Whilst we might be edging towards autumn, I've still got a bit of a backlog of summer style posts to share, which is probably just as well as I'm sure I'll be spending most of my time over the next few months bundled up in lots of warm, cosy layers- as well as items of clothing with ela…

There’s something about September which is synonymous with new starts, but this year it feels stranger than ever to be immersed in the sensation of things changing, especially after a year which has been marked both by a huge sense of upheaval and a simultaneous sense of stasis. In short, a lot ha…

Just like that- the first Friday in September is here! Whilst the back-to-school sensation might not be quite the same this year, there's a definite, if different, sense of change in the air, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one sitting here wondering just where the year has gone. So…
