My Sentimental Heart

As regular readers will be well aware, as well as having a serious penchant for floral prints, I'm also something of a dress fiend. With spring now well and truly here, I'm starting to steer my wardrobe away from the jeans, trousers and woolly knits which have comprised my winter staples i…

Well, I think it's safe to say that spring has definitely arrived! With the weather looking so bright, I've at long last been able to get some wear out of some new season pieces- in particular those which I snapped up from the Celia Birtwell for Uniqlo collaboration which launched at th…

As I mentioned in my last outfit post, when the warmer weather arrives, I tend to go a bit bananas with snapping up new season pieces. However, erring on the side of restraint, I've also been searching out some old favourites, pairing wardrobe staples with new pieces (as I did last weekend)…

When it comes to makeup, I've already admitted that I'm something of a novice, but as far as foundation is concerned, I'm an out and out beginner. In all honesty, it's a product I've never felt the need to use, and given that my skin is naturally quite oily (as well as being…

If there's one certainty in life, it's that the arrival of spring is seriously bad news for my bank balance. The prospect of enjoying sunny days, longer evenings and warmer weather means I'm more tempted than usual to splash out on some new pieces, and, after living in the same sele…

Whilst the weather has definitely taken a turn for the better over the last couple of days, there's still the inevitable April shower to contend with, making a sturdy umbrella something of a must-have accessory at the moment. Having waited for a really long time to see the sunshine, at the we…

As I mentioned in a post which I put together last year, Charlotte Olympia's accessories are amongst some of the most coveted around. Whether it's her literary inspired clutch bags or cult kitty flats, her unique approach to accent pieces is something which is distinctive, creative and…

I don't want to jinx things this early in the game, but (whisper it) I looks like spring has finally arrived! Although the weekend got off to a rather soggy start (more on that later in the week!), yesterday we finally got a day of glorious sunshine and not too shabby temperatures- very welcom…

As I mentioned in my last outfit post, the appearance of the sun has been very welcome- even if those pesky April showers are now doing their best to interrupt the arrival of spring! I'm always drawn to bolder colours and vivid prints when the weather is bright, so it's been lovely to r…

Whilst it's still not 100% springlike outside, it has been lovely to see at least a little bit of the sun over the last few days. Given that the winter has seemed to go on forever, I'm ultra-determined to make the most of the nice weather this year, so with a sunny weekend in prospect, …

Well, March certainly came and went rather quickly didn't it?! I can't quite believe that Easter has already been and gone, and am also struggling with the fact that we're now a quarter of the way through the year! Whilst I'm keeping my fingers crossed that April will bring some wa…

I feel like a bit of broken record by starting off yet another post with a rant about the weather, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks it's still ludicrously cold outside! I can't quite believe that it's April and we've still got snow, but, after becoming more t…

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, recently I've been tending to shop for a small selection of higher quality basic pieces rather than spending my pennies on clothes which I know I'll only get one or two wears out of. Having said that, I am guilty of forgetting about some of my older …

Since I started my first proper post-university job towards the end of last year, I've noticed a distinct shift in my spending habits. Whereas before I used to think nothing of spending my Saturday girl wages on throwaway purchases (as well as the inevitable lunch break pick me up from Boots!)…
