My Sentimental Heart

Goodness me, another month down! Here we are as April is almost ready to unfurl, and I’m sure that I’m not the only one eager to see the back of winter for the time being. For me, the last month has really flown by, but has been punctuated by lots of lovely goings on, and accompanied by lots of op…

Whilst I very rarely steer away from my favourite day to day beauty bits and bobs, on occasion there are a handful of purchases which I find myself reaching for, especially at this time of the year when I'm looking to switch things up a little bit as the seasons shift. Whether it's test dr…

There are few things better about this time of the year than the re-emergence of the sunshine and some long overdue warmth after a winter which has seemed to last for an eternity. Whilst I'm still erring on the side of caution and haven't packed away all of my knits just yet, the jump in t…

With the arrival of the new season, I'm sure that I'm not the only one who is eager to invest in some fresh fashion favourites. I'm always on the lookout for new places to invest in some style staples, and have recently come across a real hero brand- step forward, KITRI:
Offering s…

Whilst I've got a restaurant bucket list which I'm working through at a slow but steady pace, sometimes it's lovely to stumble upon some new foodie destinations by complete accident. Last Saturday, prior to an afternoon trip to the theatre and a leisurely potter around St. Pancras, my …

I don't know about you, but as I've grown older (and tried to downsize my wardrobe!), I've become a real fan of fuss free dressing. Practicality always wins out in my book these days, particularly when it comes to pulling together a selection of go-to staples which I know will work in …

Now that spring is in full swing, I'm hastily packing away some of my heavy duty winter skincare and switching things up with some new essentials. Seeing the sunshine again over the last week or so has felt like a real (long overdue!) treat, and as well as topping up those Vitamin D levels, li…

With the shift in seasons well and truly in the air, surely there is no better time to embrace the spirit of the new, whether that be switching up your wardrobe or sampling the menu at a fresh dining destination. For me, one such opportunity arose last weekend, in celebration of Michelle's bir…

Well, it seems that spring has finally sprung, doesn't it?! After a glorious day on Saturday (followed somewhat predictably by a showery Sunday!), I'm hedging my bets that this is the start of the new season proper, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is ecstatic to see the back …

Regular readers will be well aware that I'm a huge fan of anything floral, so when the lovely people at Blossoming Gifts got in touch with the opportunity to sample one of their beautiful spring bouquets, I jumped at the chance. Keeping fresh flowers in the house is a real mood booster all yea…

As part of my ongoing quest to make the most of my lunch breaks, I've been making a concerted effort to try as many new eating options as possible- and, working in Covent Garden, there certainly is plenty of choice on offer. It's always lovely to spot a new dining destination popping up in…

I've posted a few times in the past about how, as a rule, I'm usually fairly reluctant to jump on trend bandwagons these days- preferring instead to stick to the styles which I know suit me and which I'll be able to keep as part of my wardrobe for the long haul. For example, I know I&#…

Another month bites the dust! Whilst February is the shortest of the year, for some reason it always seems to feel longer than it should- especially if, like me, you're always eager for spring to get kick started. The good news is that winter is (in theory at least!) behind us for the time bei…

Whilst I've recently been spending most of my winter weekends snuggled up under the duvet, on the occasions that I have ventured out I've been keeping things casual and styling some comfortable favourites. Keeping things fuss free seems to have become a real philosophy for me of late- when…
