My Sentimental Heart

When it comes to high street shopping, we all know that I've got a real soft spot for Whistles. Over the last year or so, I've built up quite a solid little collection of Whistles pieces and my most recent is perhaps one of my favourite purchases ever. Having numbered a fair few wardrobe c…

For the second of my F&F denim challenges, I found myself back on familiar ground with the skinny fit. If you're a regular peruser of my outfit posts, then you'll be well aware that the bulk of my day to day outfits incorporate skinny jeans. For me, they're an absolute wardrobe ess…

As far as classic wardrobe colour combinations go, it doesn't really get more stylish than black and white. The monochrome trend is one which was huge news both on the catwalk as well as on the street over the summer, and with the arrival of autumn it's set to be a real sticker. At one of …

One of the things which I will always associate with the back to school feeling of September is new shoes. Whether picking out a pair for the first day in a new class or snapping up some practical new season footwear as the weather changes on a whim- new shoes and September seem to go hand in hand…

I don't know about you, but the changeable weather which punctuates the change of seasons has me all bewildered of late! From a soggy London Fashion Week, to a distinctly chilly few days last week and now some almost summer-like sunshine- it makes getting dressed in the morning a puzzle of pre…

The Breakfast Club. Much hyped, much Instagrammed and, until recently (for me at least) never visited. Whilst there's no doubt that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I'm generally a bowl of cereal and banana sort of girl, so when the opportunity to visit the Spitalfields Bre…

Last Friday morning I hot-footed it along to my first ever London Fashion Week show- Fyodor Golan. Held on the sixth floor of the ultra-slick 280 High Holborn, this was a show which fused character with practicality, offering a ultra-wearable, seamlessly modern take on dressing for SS14. Incorpora…

Day two of London Fashion Week was a pretty busy one for me, with a show schedule which included Holly Fulton, John Rocha and Orla Kiely. Whilst the downpours of the Friday had dissipated, the weather was still quite overcast and cold- sadly with no sign of the autumn sunshine which usually punctu…

I don't know about you, but this chilly spell has definitely taken me by surprise. Whilst I love the back to school feeling which September brings with it, I'm still rather reluctant to pack away some of my summer favourites, especially as my brain is still struggling to understand how the…

Of all the presentations which take place season after season at London Fashion Week, it's the one from Orla Kiely which is always guaranteed to be absolutely charming, beautifully creative and leave me with a wishlist as long as my arm. The styling is always absolutely spot on, and it's a…

The Burberry SS14 presentation, which was streamed online yesterday, was dreamlike. From the super slick video editing which cut seamlessly from the perspective to perspective to the relaxed, chic and ultra feminine aesthetic constructed for next season by Christopher Bailey, the show was a defini…

At the moment, I'm in the midst of London Fashion Week mania and am loving it. Reporting on a handful of shows for Aesthetic Online and pulling together snippets of my Somerset House adventures to share with you is really exciting, and I've been lucky enough to see some really beautiful wo…

As far as lipsticks go, I've always been a bit of a commitment phobe. Since getting a lovely red number from YSL from my blogging buddies last birthday I've gradually been becoming more and more experimental with my maquillage, picking up a few bolder lip shades from Rimmel and happily wea…

If you're a regular reader of this little blog of mine then you'll know that I'm something of a long-standing denim devotee. Whether for lazy days or casual dressing, a trusty pair of jeans can stand you in good stead for so many different occasions, and are generally a real wardrobe e…

After a few swelteringly hot days towards the end of last week, it's seems that autumn has now well and truly kicked off with a rather chilly bite. Whilst I'm sure I'll be complaining about the cold weather soon enough, at the moment it's quite refreshing to have a little bit of …

You might remember that about a month or so ago, I was invited to take part in a very special Postcards from Shoreditch shoot with Warehouse. The whole experience was so much fun, from styling the outfit, to exploring a corner of London which I don't get to visit all that often, and it was als…

Over the last few months or so, I've developed something of an obsession with the humble sweatshirt. An innocent foray into heretofore uncharted wardrobe territory which all began with a simple purchase from Whistles has now spiralled a little out of control. Another Whistles number has re…

I don't know about you, but every so often my hair starts to look (and feel) rather sorry for itself and before I know it I'm spending a small fortune in Boots on every product under the sun which promises miracle results for split ends, wayward flyaways, fear-inducing frizz- or  indeed al…

Oh London, you with your crazy heatwaves! Just when I was certain that it was time to surrender my sunglasses for another year, the weather down south has taken a rather sweltering turn- and whilst I'm sure it won't be this tropical for long, it's certainly a lovely way to bid a fon…

Last month seemed to come and go in a flash and I'm really sad that summer is almost over for another year- my brain still thinks it's March and can't quite comprehend that the year is nearly over and done with. My August was quite quiet- with things at work crazy busy I used my weeken…

So now that September has arrived, it seems, as always, that there's a palpable 'back to school' feeling in the air. Having left school myself seven years ago (scary times!), I sadly don't get to partake in the start of term ritual of buying a new pencil case and a snazzy set of hi…

Pinch punch! So September has arrived and there's a definite chill in the air today, don't you think? I'm already super tempted to raid my wardrobe for some favourite woolly knits (including this one!), but that's something which can wait for a little while yet as we make the most …
