My Sentimental Heart

With spring, well, springing up all over, I’ve taken the opportunity to spruce up my skincare and overhaul some aspects of my regular routine. I always tend to forget just how much of a toll winter takes on my skin, and the arrival of the warmer weather is always something of a welcome relief from…

Although I’m writing this post sitting outside in the glorious sunshine (without even wearing a coat!), I’m still quite cautiously optimistic about the arrival of spring- particularly as I remember it snowing in March last year! Having said that, I’m so happy to see the sun and to feel properly wa…

As spring slides ever closer, it’s lovely to start getting inspired by the sense of renewal which the start of the new season brings with it. I love spring more than any other season, I think because of that special sense of revitalisation which it brings with it; it's so lovely to see things …

Now that the weather seems to (at long last!) be co-operating, I’m really enjoying mixing up my day to day selection of wardrobe staples with some new favourites. Whilst it’s not quite warm enough to be leaving the house without a coat just yet, the fact that the days are getting lighter little by…

If I'm being honest, it's usually only a fair few months after Christmas has been and gone that I get the chance to road-test most of my presents, particularly if they're beauty bits and bobs. I'm always keen to use up old products before cracking on with something new, particularl…

Don’t get me wrong, I love my usual uniform of jumpers an…

It always makes a really refreshing change to have somewhere new to explore, particularly if it’s somewhere which can brighten up a dreary January day in a flash! Such was the case when I ventured into the recently opened Covent Garden branch of Free People and discovered a beautiful bounty of clo…

With spring slowly but surely creeping towards us, it's wonderfully cheering to feel the days getting a little bit longer and to see sudden bursts of colour after a very long and dreary start to the year. Spring is my favourite season, and there's something wonderfully reassuring about thi…

Over the last eighteen months or so, I've found myself really getting in to podcasts. Whether it's as a welcome distraction from the loud phone calls on the train first thing in the morning, or as a leisurely way to spend a weekend morning, there's something really lovely about being a…

‪On Wednesday morning I was lucky enough to attend a very special preview of Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams at the V&A, the first fashion exhibition to take place in their recently opened Sainsbury Gallery, and the largest design exhibition at the museum since their stunning Alexander McQu…
