My Sentimental Heart

I hope you're all having a lovely New Year's Eve in spite of the weather! My plans for this evening consist of cracking open a packet of posh biscuits from M&S, accompanied of course by a cup of Earl Grey, all enjoyed from my cosy spot on the sofa. Whether you're going out to see t…

Now we all know that I'm no expert when it comes to makeup but after receiving some lovely beauty bits and pieces for my birthday at the beginning of the month, it seemed like a good idea to share them with you in a blog post or two. There really a few things more iconic in the world of cosmet…

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I spent mine enjoying a lovely roast turkey dinner, scoffing two helpings of pudding and telling cracker jokes in the style of Fozzie Bear. I also received some lovely presents, some of which I'm sure will make an appearance on here in some shape or form s…

Just a quick little note to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Whatever you've got planned for tomorrow I hope you have a fantastic day filled with love, laughter and lots of wishes come true.

I think it's safe to say that at this time of the year we're all very much looking forward to the opportunity to put our feet up in front of the telly over the festive break. Before the mania of the day itself, there's present buying, wrapping and stashing, catching up with friends and …

Although my wardrobe is full of pieces which I love, only a handful of them could be called real style classics. The camel coat, the Breton top and the dark wash denim jeans are all wardrobe staples of mine, but I'm also quite guilty of making impulse purchases which I don't imagine wil…

With less than a week to go until Christmas Day, I hope you're all feeling suitably festive! After having a slight last minute rush around at the start of the week, all my presents are bought and wrapped, and I for one am very much looking forward to putting my feet up with a cup of tea and…

Whilst there are some elements of dressing for the winter which I like (cosying up in a chunky knit being one of them), I'm definitely far more fond of spring and summer fashions. It may seem like a world away now, but I can't wait to be able to leave the house without being bundled up …

With just over a week to go until Christmas Day, you'll either be running around the shops like a headless chicken or sitting down with a freshly brewed cuppa content in the knowledge that all your gifts are bought, wrapped and waiting to be discovered under the tree. Whilst I'm happy to s…

Over recent weeks, I feel like I've been wearing the same pieces (namely jeans and a jumper!) on rotation. With the weather so chilly at the moment, staying cosy definitely takes precedence over being bold with the outfits which I put together, but this approach can get a little bit tediou…

When it comes to snapping up Christmas presents, there's nothing I love more than theming my gifts. As I mentioned in my last gift guide, I tend to pick up a lot of beauty shaped pieces for my friends, but when it comes to putting together my own wishlist, the majority of the goodies which…

Last week, Linlithgow Palace in West Lothian played host to the Chanel Pre Fall 2013 presentation, an event which unfolded in typically spectacular style. You might remember that the 2012 Chanel Métiers d'Art presentation was one of my top fashion moments of last year, so I was really excited …

Right then. Confession time. Despite posting regularly about my must-haves and favourite high fashion looks, when it comes to the crunch I'm really not that adventurous with embracing trends. Given that the majority of the outfits which I share with you feature denim in some shape or form, …

When the weather gets this chilly, it's often really tempting to stick to wearing darker colours both in an attempt to keep warm and to avoid the multitude of dilemmas which dressing for the Great British weather presents. I for one am terribly guilty of tending towards blacks, navy blues and g…

With the weather now heading towards the freezing side of the thermometer, things are feeling decidedly festive, don't you think? Having said that, shopping for Christmas and New Year fashions is something which is a (very stressful!) minefield in and of itself, and I for one am always on t…

Today is my 23rd birthday!! I honestly can't quite believe how quickly the last year has flown by- now I'm another year older, hopefully a little bit wiser(!) and definitely feeling very thankful for everything I've been lucky enough to do over the last twelve months. Whilst I get back …

Another day, another jumper. Four words which seem to perfectly sum up my dressing habits at the moment! Given how much I hate the cold, staying warm tends to take priority when the weather is as chilly as it has been over the last few days, and yesterday I put together an outfit featuring a re…
