My Sentimental Heart

If you're a regular reader, then you'll know that I'm a huge fan of Westfield London. Whether I'm lusting over potential premium purchases in The Village, contemplating where to head for lunch or visiting some of my favourite high street names, having everything under one roof in W…

With Halloween just around the corner, my thoughts are turning to all sorts of spooky dressing. Whilst most of us probably can't get away with wearing a face full of ghoulish inspired makeup on the day itself, the shops are filled with lots of really accessible pieces to filter a little bit of…

As I mentioned in my last outfit post, when it comes to winter dressing I'm quite guilty of sticking to wearing the same pieces time and time again. So, when F&F set me the challenge of styling one if their new season pieces as part of their How You're Wearing It Feature, I jumped at t…

Holly Fulton's London Fashion Week presentation simultaneously captured a real sense of design heritage and an extremely relevant, current aesthetic. Fusing Fulton's signature prints with a Studio 54 inspired glamour, the SS14 collection referenced 1970s style pyjama suits, bohemian silhou…

Gloomy mornings, shorter days and evenings which are so chilly that they don't really inspire any activity. Winter is well and truly on the way, and with the clocks going back at the weekend that all too familiar urge to hibernate will become increasingly acute. Over the winter I'm quite g…

If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen that last weekend I (easy)jetted off to Edinburgh with Lily in honour of Hannah's birthday! It was my first trip to Scotland, so I was really excited to explore the culture, sights and sounds of the city- as well as visit some Edinburgh icons…

One of the things which makes this time of year slightly more bearable is the prospect of investing in some new knitwear. After a summer of luxuriously leaving the house without even wearing a jacket, retreating into winter woolies and heavy coats feels like a little bit of a culture shock, but af…

Another highlight of my London Fashion Week schedule was the Jean-Pierre Braganza presentation. Held in the BFC showspace at Somerset House, Braganza's SS14 show offered a very distinct series of contrasts, whether through opposing colourways, paneling effects or juxtaposition of shape. With a…

In the wee while that I've been updating this little corner of online ramblings I like to think that we've grown to know each other rather well. You're probably well aware that I've got more than a passing penchant for florals, that I'm a fan of classic wardrobe pieces and that…

Kilian Kerner's London Fashion Week presentation encapsulated red carpet glamour and statement dressing perfectly. Held against the spectacular backdrop of The Waldorf Hilton's breathtaking ballroom, Kerner's SS14 collection was opulent, luxurious and bold, offering an aesthetic which …

Looking back, my September was a little bit of a whirlwind, with lots to keep me busy. Again, I'm finding it so hard to believe that the end of the year is almost upon us- I'm convinced that a few months have just vanished without a trace! Anyway, here's a little peek at what I've …

In my last outfit post, I mentioned that I was well and truly aboard the eBay bandwagon (there's something quite therapeutic about taking an afternoon to list items over a cuppa, isn't there?!), but my new found hobby is also proving something of a double edged sword in that I'm becomi…

Having been in my current job for a little under a year now (time flies!), my work wardrobe has expanded quite considerably. Whilst my office is quite relaxed in terms of dress code, it's been quite nice to invest in some designated work pieces of late, and I'm always on the lookout for hi…

Now that October is upon us, thoughts are inevitably turning towards the end of the year and the festive season. Whilst Christmas might seem like a long way off yet, you can bet your bottom dollar that it will arrive before you know it- and this year I've promised myself that I'm not going…

After going through my wardrobe with a fine toothcomb about a month or so ago, I've been feeling pretty refreshed in the sartorial stakes. Now newly acquainted with the wonderful world of eBay, I'm also feeling quite savvy about what I'm deciding keep and what to bid a fond farewell to…
