My Sentimental Heart

So, well yes here we are on the last day of the year and I've caved in and gone and written a post reflecting on 2015. It seemed fitting to cap the last twelve months off with something a little bit more personal than the usual, so I've racked my brains (something of a struggle when the po…

Well hello there, penultimate day of 2015!! Whilst I'm not sure just yet whether I'll be pulling together a reflective end of year type post (my Netflix library won't just watch itself you know!), it's safe to say that I'm feeling more than a little bit soppy about the fact tha…

One of the things which I love about this time of the year is the bounty of beauty offerings which hit the shops, and over the last few weeks I've amassed a rather snazzy little stash of goodies which I don't doubt I'll be sharing on these pages over the coming weeks. In the run up to …

For me, one of the loveliest things about Christmas is decorating the house- and over the last few years, I've found myself reaching for fresh flowers as a fabulously festive interior option. Not only are seasonal blooms a real boon to any room, but at this time of the year they're especia…

With the new year in prospect, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be making the most of the quieter days over Christmas to embark upon a little bit of organisation. One job which I've been putting off and putting off is tackling a bit of a wardrobe sort out- predominantly as it ten…

Although I've got a selection of scents which I like to think of as being signature choices, as I've touched on before, from time to time it's nice to get a bit experimental and try some alternatives. For my birthday a few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get lots of lovely presents- i…

Although there is something of a practical shift in my wardrobe from season to season, I don't tend to switch up my day to day staples all that much, preferring to stick with a faithful selection of favourites which can be styled up or down according to how I'm feeling (and what sort of mo…

As I’ve touched on in a few previous posts, at this time of the year I’m always after an opportunity to treat myself to a little bit of tlc, and over the last few weeks I’ve definitely felt the benefit of spending a little bit more time on a few indulgences which don’t usually feature in my routin…

Although I'm a massive fan of florals, if I'm being completely honest, some of my favourite pieces don't lend themselves overly well to a winter wardrobe. Largely this is all down to practicality, particularly as the prints which I'm partial to during the summer months are very muc…

With Christmas just around the corner, I'm sure I'm not the only one getting excited about the prospect of erring a little more on the side of indulgence than usual- and the festive season is always a brilliant opportunity to make the most of those once-year treats. I'm also hoping to …

Well, here we are again at the outset of another month, complete with me (as usual!) scratching my head and wondering where on earth the year has gone. The last few weeks have absolutely flown by- and now it's less than three weeks until Christmas! I've tried to make the most of some rest …

Now that December is with us, I'm sure I'm not the only one who was expecting to be wrapped up from head to toe in woolly layers, but so far I've been pleasantly surprised at just how mild things have been! Whilst I don't doubt that this balmier spell won't hang around indefini…

Birthdays are funny old things aren't they? When I was younger the countdown to getting older seemed to be how I measured the passing of time- and it used to feel like an eternity from one year to the next. Now I'm older (though not necessarily wiser!), time seems to whizz by in a complete …
