stay this way.

cardigan | primark | twelve pounds

jumper | primark | eight pounds   hat | H&M | seven ninety nine

heels | matalan | fifteen pounds*   mascara | nine pounds   nail varnish | three ninety nine

primer | five pounds fifty   lashes | five pounds fifty   foundation | six pounds ninety nine 

shift dress | new look | seventeen pounds   skater dress | primark | eight pounds

converse | forty pounds

with getting paid and my student loan i got a bit carried away...the converse were an investment as i have worn them everyday since i got them (which is why they look a bit scuffed)

had a matalan voucher to spend as  they were lovely and included a twenty pound voucher in our goody bags from the event!

to be fair i can't walk very well in the heels but they look puuurrddyyy, i wore them with the printed shift dress the other night and it was a very enjoyable combination.

jay came down for the weekend and we ate allot...a turtle bay (and a few too many cocktails) TWO tootis (which is a gelato bar) i take no responsibility for this..

and i made a pie aannddd it was a success! it even had pie written on it in the left over pastry!

love livvy

you shine like silver in the sunlight.

so today is a kind of haul post, as i have pretty poor since i went on holiday i haven't purchased that much but i have been given a few lovely things you know everyone loves a good haul.

i like to sing haulin' haulin' haulin' like the song that goes rollin' rollin' rollin' i know you just wasted a couple of seconds of your life reading that but now it will probably be in your head muhahaha!

and to add to my poorness i got a bloody parking ticket last week (bye bye sixty five pounds, it was nice having you in my bank account for a brief time) 

so lets get on with it then...

shirt : forever 21 : twelve pounds | peterpan collar shirt : new look : twelve pounds ninety nine

tee and cake tee-shirt : topshop : ten pounds

knickers : topshop : ten pounds | set : primark : ten pounds

nail varnish and carmex : my prize from the blinking lights quiz!

garnier moisturiser and toner : two for five pounds offer

necklace : gift from jays mama (to go with my sari)

bee and bike necklaces : accessorise : three pounds each | horse necklace : gift

i've linked up all the items or similar things so you don't have to go trawling about for them, i'm a good egg like that.

you can see me wearing some of the things on my instagram @livvychristine however i have some outfit posts in the pipe line if the weather decides not to rain for a few minutes!

also this morning right after eliza doolittles live lounge cover fern cotton read out my tweet, cue fangirling ALL over the shop!

apart from that not much exciting has been happening in life, i'm sure moving back to hampton of the south on sunday will provide me with many shenanigans to relay to you (lets hope its not falling down the stairs like last time....)

good luck to anyone starting uni or going back (awawaa third year is poo your pants scary thought!)

hello!

how lush was the weather in laaaandan today!?

although the wind was not my friend in the hair department as you can see...

despite being pretty bruised at battered after falling down some stairs on thursday (my left leg is a mess) this weekend has been so so lovely.

jay and i went out for dinner last night for an early anniversary meal (two years next sunday eek!) we went to jamies italian at westfield stratford and i highly recommend the early grey martinis, ahhhmaaazzziinnggg!

today we fully embraced the sunshine today with a big bowl of fruit for breakfast on the balcony, a walk in victoria park, a glass of pimms (first one of the year in that pub apparently!) ice cream and emergency sandal buying!

love livvy

p.s. in love with this nail varnish combo and the smell of this candle

i nabbed this little green skater number when the asos had their massive student discount, this was a cheeky fourteen pounds.

the skater shape is one of those that just 'works' for me (work it baaaaby work it, heheeehe)

i now need a grey one, i've been stalking ebay for one...

i've really been craving some sunshine and warmth lately after a very grey week with some disappointing things but after the sunshine yesterday i'm feeling a bit brighter happier. 

i've included some of my recent purchases, the topshop bralet was only a fiver! 

love livvy

hello lovelies

i love love looovvveeee the colour of this top!

i picked this cheeky little number up for a mere nine pounds, its made of a lovely kind of jersey material as well.

i order this necklace about two months ago from ebay and it only just turned up a couple of days ago and i haven't stopped wearing it since.

i know i'm back to my shabby student back garden but i will try do take prettier pictures as much as possible, promise. 

i wanted to show you a few pretty things that have come my way lately

the joules beauties were from jays mama, they all smell so lush!

i won the lush goodies from tillys blog giveaway, there were some other bits that i have eaten and are sitting on my feet.

i nabbed these when i was in westfield the other weekend, they're a bit silly but i love them!

love livvy

xoxo

saving all my love for you.

hello lovelies 

i thought i would share some of my little purchases over the last few weeks, i'm currently tucked up on the sofa trying to do work with a horrible horrible headache. 

1. mittens from primark, now its getting colder my badly circulating hands are suffering (for two pounds you can't really say no)

2. company magazines december issue, i have been trying to track it down for ages in so'ton but finally found it tucked away behind an elle!

3. the only moisturiser i use on my body, i though it was just going to be a pot of the creme (like in the bottle) but this is pretty solid and a bit oiler but it still makes my skin silky soft.

4. bad bad liv, i have shoe issues i know. 

5. i managed to nab myself an advent calendar in asda, as i picked it up the boy said 'are you reaaalllllyyyyy getting a peppa pig advent calendar?' 

6. my new favourite lip balm, it smells devine. 

love livvy

xoxo

p.s. the boy and i made a roast on sunday (well my only contribution was roast potatoes)
