My Sentimental Heart

Another week, another post all about Glossier! Thankfully for my bank balance, I haven't raided their online shop again just yet, but instead made it along to their temporary store in Marylebone, which appeared at 32 Portland Place for a week from 15-22 November. Much like the UK online launch…

Brr! I don't know about you, but this sudden chilly snap has caught me slightly on the hop- cue frantic scrabbling around at the back of my wardrobe to find the warmest items of clothing I own! I always forget just how much this time of the year zaps all of your energy too- with darkness setti…

As far as Saturday pursuits go, there are few things which I tend to enjoy more than enjoying a spot of lunch before heading to the theatre for a matinee- the stuff of dreams! Last weekend, Hannah and I headed to the Young Vic to see The Suppliant Women (via the Tate Modern and their swings!), and…

At this time of the year I usually tend to find myself more or less living in a steady rotation of knits (as well as fleecy pyjamas!), which, whilst being hugely practical, doesn't really lend itself to much in the way of wardrobe creativity. In an attempt to switch things up just a little bit…

It's always lovely when you happen upon somewhere new after a spur-of-the-moment choice isn't it? Sometimes our lives are forward planned so much that it leaves little (if any!) room for flexibility or taking some time to do something which you haven't anticipated in advance. As a resu…

Week to week, it's really rare that I get a chance to explore some of the lovely locations right on my doorstep. If I've got a free weekend, the likelihood is that I'll be so tired from the week just gone that I'll prioritise recharging my batteries above heading out of the house, …

And, as if by some Game of Thrones style magic, we find ourselves well and truly in the grip of winter. Brrrr. I feel like all I've done for the last week or so is complain to anyone who will listen about just how cold I'm finding it, but sitting on the sofa wrapped up in thermals and flee…

Whilst I'm not the biggest fan of heading to east London (primarily because it takes me forever and a day to get there!), there's no doubt that it's home to a handful of haunts which are well worth the trek. One of my most recent discoveries was happened upon following lunch at the Cur…

Now that winter is well and truly here (said in ominous Game of Thrones voice), it will probably come as no surprise that my has been suffering a little bit over the last couple of weeks. It's funny, but I always tend to forget just how sensitive it is to the combination of cold winter air and…

Brrr! Now that it's November, I'm sure that I'm not the only one feeling a distinct chill in the air. Try as I might to ignore it, it seems that winter is well and truly upon us for another year, and this current cold snap has had me rummaging around in my wardrobe for some cosy favour…

Another month down! Once again, I can't quite believe that we're here at the closing stages of another year- it's terrifying how quickly the last few months have flown by. With the clocks going back last weekend, it's safe to say that winter is well and truly with us, so whilst I p…

Another week, another post on a previously undiscovered (for me at least!) corner of London. After enjoying an autumnal wander around Hampstead a few weeks ago, a visit to Fenton House seemed like the perfect way to round off the day. This 17th-century gem not only offers lots of opportunities to …
