My Sentimental Heart

If there's one thing which is absolutely essential for the impending Jubilee celebrations then it's bunting. There's absolutely loads of it in the shops at the moment, incorporating a range of designs from the traditional Union Jack to kitsch florals, but if you fancy being a bit thrift…

Last Thursday, Sarah and I popped along to the Next AW12 Press and Blogger Event, held in the beautiful surroundings of Somerset House. Looking at their key collections for next season in such glorious sunshine (typical!), there was a lot to get excited about, including some gorgeous coats, shoes a…

With less than a week to go until the Jubilee, excitement is reaching fever pitch and I'm sure we're all crossing our fingers that this heatwave will continue into next weekend. If you've walked into any shops on your local high street over the last few weeks, then you'll undoubtedl…

Another glorious day! It's so lovely to be able to leave the house without wearing a coat, jumper and gloves, isn't it?! To say summer's been a long time coming is a bit of an understatement, and, in true British fashion, there's rain in the forecast for the end of the week, so I sp…

Yesterday Sarah and I went along to a couple of lovely press/blogger events in London, previewing the Next and Forever 21 AW12 collections. I'll be posting about the events themselves soon, but with the weather so hot yesterday, I resorted to wearing something I'd been determined to save fo…

The abundance of Union Jacks which have popped up all over the place in recent weeks mean only one thing- the Queen's Diamond Jubilee is just around the corner. In the same way that I celebrated the Royal Wedding last year, I'm holding a traditional tea party at home to celebrate, and am in…

Do my eyes deceive me or do I see sunshine?! To say it's been a long time in coming is something of an understatement, but now it's here I'm hoping we'll have it for a little while at least. It might be overly optimistic I know, but I'm just about to sift through my wardrobe in …

Yesterday I popped along to the V&A in South Kensington for their Ballgowns: British Glamour since 1950 exhibition. I'd definitely recommend a visit, as there are some really beautiful pieces on display, and the new fashion galleries are really impressive too. With the weather still typical…

Am I the only one sick of this weather?! It's nearly June and it's still so gloomy outside! We can only hope that having had such a disappointing spring that the summer will be glorious, but, this being England, I very much doubt it! I'm just about to head out the cinema to watch Avenge…
