My Sentimental Heart

I don't know about you, but I always tend to find January a struggle. A six week wait for payday, combined with gloomy weather and the inevitable deflation after the end of the festive season all add up to make the start to the new year pretty tough going- particularly if you're feeling a …

Now that the weather has returned towards the chillier end of the spectrum, I've been making a beeline for some old favourites. Streamlining my collection of clothes to create a capsule wardrobe has never really been my forte, but year after year there are a bounty of staples which I come back…
