My Sentimental Heart

Although it seems completely incongruous to be posting about autumn and winter collections when the weather has finally taken a more summery turn, I couldn't resist sharing this look at M&S's new season pieces with you. I was a massive fan of their SS13 designs, and after seeing the lov…

One of the things which I love about blogging is picking up some style inspiration from my favourite bloggers. Seeing how other people put together outfits and embrace tricky trends is always really interesting and has definitely encouraged me to get more adventurous with my wardrobe choices, so y…

Last week, with a couple of days off of work at my disposal (aren't those days always the best?!), I made the most of my free time by catching up with friends and also popping along to a few London haunts which I'd been meaning to visit for a while. If you follow me on Instagram, then you&…

Last week, the lovely Elodie and I popped along to a couple of press events, one of which was the Anthropologie AW 2013 Home Press Preview. Anthropologie is definitely one of my favourite places to visit for some interior inspiration, and their Regent Street store is something of a blissful oasis …

With summer struggling to make an appearance at the moment, getting an injection of sunshine is proving pretty tricky. Between dodging rain showers and surreptitiously checking the weather forecast before leaving the house, I'm sure I'm not the only one struggling to muster up a summer hol…

As far as wardrobe basics go, you really can't go far wrong with the humble t-shirt. My selection of tees is quite varied (ranging from the comic book nerdy to the slogan-tastic), but after sorting through a lot of my clothes a little while back, I was surprised to find my wardrobe severely…

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited along to The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace for a very special breakfast preview of their new exhibition- In Fine Style: The Art of Tudor & Stuart Fashion. Myself and a selection of other bloggers (including my partner in crime, Sarah), wer…

It's not often (if indeed ever) that I get political on this little blog of mine, but sometimes it's necessary to get a little bit passionate about things and voice your opinions. Today I want to dedicate some time to a cause which I'm sure most of you will be well aware of- namely the…

Going back to wardrobe basics can definitely prove something of a challenge, but it's also something which is perfect for refreshing your day to day outfits- ideal if you're feeling a little bit stuck in a style rut. In my last couple of posts, I've mentioned that I've been lea…

Over the last few weeks, I've had the pleasure of discovering some new foodie haunts, so thought that that I'd share some of my favourites in a new (and hopefully) semi-regular feature! Food (and eating in general) is one of my favourite pastimes, but despite having a GCSE in Food Tech…

As I mentioned a little while ago, I'm definitely veering more towards good quality minimalist pieces at the moment, investing my pennies wisely rather than frittering them away on frivolous purchases. I'm a firm believer in the power of wardrobe basics, and have found myself increasingly r…

Now that the weather has finally perked up (wasn't yesterday lovely?!), I'm really enjoying getting some wear out of the pieces which have been sitting neglected in my wardrobe waiting for even the briefest glimmer of sunshine to appear. Although at times it felt like the winter would neve…

Well, time really is flying by, isn't it?! It barely feels like a week ago that I was putting together the last installment of my monthly roundup, but now May is here and I'm still trying to figure out where the weeks have disappeared to so speedily! With the spring finally arriving, April…

If you're a long time reader of this little blog of mine, then you'll know that I'm not exactly what you'd call a party animal. I'd much rather spend a cosy evening in front of a good film with a cuppa than out on the town, so my 'going out' wardrobe is pretty non-exi…

Now that we're well in the swing of spring, one of the things I'm enjoying the most about the dramatically improved weather is being able to leave the house without a coat. Don't get me wrong, I'm something of a coat collector (after all they are pretty essential when our winters g…

As most of you are probably well aware, I'm something of a self-confessed tea and cake fiend. As well as posting about my adventures in baking , I've also blogged about some of my afternoon tea experiences, including my own Jubilee themed sitting last year. You can only imagine, then, h…
