My Sentimental Heart

After my last foray into sharing one of my favourite quick and easy meals with you, it seemed like high time to celebrate another simple foodie treat- Smashed Avocado on Toast. I discovered the humble avocado about a year or so ago, and was convinced that I really wouldn't get on with them- bu…

After my last skincare centered post, which saw me profess my adoration for L'Oréal's Skin Perfection Moisturiser, it seemed like high time to focus on some other day to day favourites- products which are true beauty heroes in my book. As I've mentioned before, my skin can be quite pro…

Most of the time, and particularly during this hot and sticky weather, I tend to find myself reaching for the same wardrobe faithfuls week after week. Lately I've been living in basic, loose fitting tees like this one from Whistles, and some of my favourites from & Other Stories have been …

With summer holiday season just around the corner, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about getting away from it all for a little while. Ever since I got home from Morocco back in February, I've been itching to book another trip away, but drawing up a shortlist is proving pretty t…

When it comes to skincare, I'm a firm subscriber to the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' school of thought, and it's rare that I'll spice up my routine for fear of breaking out or having a reaction to something new. However, after trying a few cleansing products from R…

As I've mentioned a few times in some previous posts, it's all too rare that I get the chance to dress up for a special occasion (sob sob sob!), so when special things do pop up in my diary, I tend to go into outfit planning overdrive! Whereas in the past I may have scoured the shops high …

A little while ago, I made my bi-annual pilgrimage to One Marylebone for the M&S AW14 Press Day. Although it seems like we've scarcely said hello to the summer, with the year whizzing by so quickly, it will soon be time to dust off your winter coat and reach for your woollies again- and be…

I promised a little while ago that I'd be putting together a post all about running- and here it finally is! Since I started running about two years ago, I've noticed a definite difference in myself overall, from having more energy to feeling more balanced, and although it can seem a prett…

You might remember that a little while ago, I made the most of having some much needed time away from work by paying a visit to Bodiam Castle. Although it's not too far from where I live, I'd never visited- and with Game of Thrones in full swing on the telly, it seemed like the perfect opp…

Anyone who knows me well will happily tell you that I absolutely hate football. Whilst I have all the time in the world for a certain Mr Beckham, I'm really not a fan of the game as a whole- particularly as there are so many other sports which I enjoy so much more but which get comparatively l…

Summer in the city. Four little words that tend to fill me with dread! Commuting around London is pretty manic at the best of times, but when the weather gets warmer, it takes on a whole new (hellish!) dimension. The lack of air conditioning on the Underground means that when the temperatures soar…

Up until about a year or so ago, I always tended to err on the side of caution as far as lipstick was concerned, but after discovering some favourites including the Nars lip pencils and Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine products, I've become a little bit more adventurous and have been seeking out …

Whilst I'd love to be one of those people with a wardrobe full of staple pieces which can be effortlessly styled in lots of different ways, in truth I'm too indecisive to commit myself fully to one specific style. As I touched on in my last outfit post, one of the things which I love the m…

Crikey, I can't quite believe that we're halfway through the year already! In six months time, I'll have just turned 25 (scary stuff!) and we'll all be in the thrall of festive preparations- even scarier! Whilst parts of May seem to take a little longer than normal to roll around (…

As most of you are well aware, I'm something of a self confessed cake addict. I love baking almost as much as I love eating cake, and a little later on in the year I'll be taking on a corker of a culinary challenge when I make my friend's wedding cake! Whilst ideas for the finished pro…
