My Sentimental Heart

I've posted before about my love for tba's designs, and, when I saw these images from their SS11 lookbook, I just had to share:
Not only are all the individual pieces from this collection beautiful (I especially love the Sam Tunic in the fourth picture), but the way each look has been styled…

In the unlikely event that Black Swan mania has passed you by (alas, a suddenly busy week has stopped me from seeing it yet), this beautiful editorial from Vogue Russia more than confirms that ballet is certainly having something of a fashion moment:

Although the Black Swan references are perhaps a …

The lovely Laura, from Emerald Green 88 has passed on a Versatile Blogger Award to me, thanks Laura!


Apart from swimming certificates and a really lame prize (and by 'prize' I mean plastic trophy) which I won at school for doing well in my GCSE's, this is the first proper award I've…

I've written before about my absolute adoration for all things Rokit, and this month they are launching a really exciting project which, as well as nurturing new talent, pays tribute to the lasting appeal of vintage and classic design techniques. Rokit Designers Guild is an initiative establish…

The impending release of Black Swan, which opens in the UK on Friday, and centres upon a production of Swan Lake, has got me thinking about other films which feature iconic dance sequences. I can't wait to see the ballet scenes from Black Swan, especially after reading about the rigorous traini…

As well as starring in Mulberry's latest campaign, Lindsey Wixson is also the face of Alexander McQueen's SS11 advertising:

I thought these pictures were simply too stunning not to share and I adored Sarah Burton's designs for spring/summer when they were debuted at Paris fashion week. …

Last week I tried a new recipe from my lovely Hummingbird Bakery book, this time for double chocolate cookies. Whilst January usually ushers a period of resolution to get healthy/go to the gym more/eat less rubbish, my logic is that it's futile to even attempt this all the time the seemingly ne…

When I saw Mulberry's SS11 collection from New York Fashion Week, I adored it. The feminine, flowery pieces really stood out, as did the pastel colour palette. This week, we got to see more of the collection as Mulberry unveiled the accompanying ad campaign, shot by Tim Walker, starring Lindsey…

I wrote this piece back in August for a competition ELLE magazine was running, and didn't post it here straightaway for fear I might jinx my chances of winning (and because I'm always massively nervous of sharing anything I've written 'proper'). Of course the closing date for th…
