My Sentimental Heart

Remember that weekend a little under a month or so ago when it actually, properly felt like summer? It might seem like a distant recollection now, especially amidst the seemingly never ending spells of rain and overcast skies, but it provided me with one of the only opportunities which I've ha…

There are few things nicer than getting fresh flowers delivered to your doorstep, and regular readers will know that since spending a day at The Covent Garden Academy of Flowers last year, I've become more than a little bit obsessed with making the most of the beautiful blooms I pick up, as we…

Discovering new parts of any city is always lovely, but I'm always eager to uncover new pockets of London, particularly as there is still (shamefully!) so much of it which I'm yet to explore. Since my trips to The Modern Pantry and Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings, I've been eagerl…

With new season fashion well and truly on the brain, I've found myself itching to update my wardrobe- and one destination which has well and truly caught my eye over recent weeks is ASOS. They've got some seriously eye catching pieces online at the moment, and are ticking all of the right …

Although over the last few months I've settled on a fairly solid skincare routine, sometimes it's great to switch things up a bit- a change is as good as a rest after all! As well as my tried and tested favourites, I've also been getting a little bit more experimental of late, road tes…

Whilst I'm usually a complete creature of habit when it comes to my usual shopping haunts, every so often it's lovely to switch things up a bit and experiment with some off-the-beaten-track brands. Sister Jane is a label which has been on my radar for a fair few years now, and some of my f…

Over the last few months, I've been making a few savvy purchases here and there- pieces which have caught my eye and which I've thought investment enough purely down to their styling potential. At this time of the year especially, I tend to shop for staples which are comfortable and easy t…

Over the last few weeks, I've discovered a few new foodie gems, as well as some lovely lunchtime destinations. Don't get me wrong, most of the time the most adventurous I get is alternating between prawn mayonnaise and salmon and cucumber in M&S, but sometimes it's lovely to have a…

It's a truth universally acknowledged that when it comes to basic day to day beauty, products which require minimal effort but which pack maximum punch are more or less akin to the Holy Grail. Anything which can save vital seconds in the morning, or which can free up vital pyjama potential in …

As much as one of the most welcome parts of summer is embracing bolder prints and a seasonal spectrum of statement shades, one of the things which I enjoy most about the warmer weather (as well as being able to leave the house without a coat/jacket/jumper) is switching up some of my favourite ward…

Although I've got a rather extensive selection of sunglasses stashed away (many of which have appeared in one guise or another across these pages in the past!), up until recently I'd never seen the appeal of investing anything more than £20 on a pair of shades. However, maybe walking past …

At the risk of sounding food obsessed, I'm working on something of a restaurant bucket list at the moment- drawing up a plan (fantasy or otherwise!) of where I'll resolve to dine out at sooner rather than later. Who knows- maybe it'll spur me on to make a reservation for an indulgent f…

Well, here we are at the outset of another month and once again I find myself completely perplexed at how speedily the year is flying by. It feels like the last few months have been an absolute whirlwind, and I can't quite believe that we'll be on the home strait towards autumn before we k…

However you're managing your wardrobe in this topsy turvy weather, I'm sure I'm not alone in embracing some bolder-than-usual prints. Whether you're working with a selection of old faithfuls or have used the arrival of the new season as the perfect opportunity to invest in some new…
