hello chums!

(if you didn't read that in a miranda voice then i'm thoroughly disappointed in you)

firstly thank you for all your lovely comments lately, you got me out my blogging slump i feel right back in track, so give yourself a hug (or the person next to you) and pretend it was from me!

just a little glimpse of my life (even though allot of it has been sitting in my pj's and glasses watching jonathan creek, will she ever get a life i hear you cry!)

i instagrammed some pictures of me working on a project with natasha (who shot this video) for a brand that uses the term 'get the london look' quite allot....i'll leave you with that but i hope i can show you guys something soon

the last month or so has been quite family orientated with mine and jay's having quite a few parties (mama j said no more parities after we had three in one month at our house)

tonight i'm off to see my best gal pals for drinks (well i'm driving so diet coke for me..)

hope you all have a lovely weekend!

love livvy

every day i look at the world from my window.

dress : new look

scarf : saima majid*

necklace : accessorize

ring : ebay

sandals and sunglasses : primark 

goofy smile : bloggers own

i won't lie, i pretty much lived this dress on holiday, but we all know how partial i am to a bit of grey marl jersey...i can't wait to pair it up with some boots and my leather jacket in the colder months.

i was sent this beautiful scarf the other day by saima majid, its like the grey marl things, once i get something new something it doesn't leave my body for a good few days, and this was case and point

polka dots and flowers, my two favourite things combined in a scarf, ding ding ding we have a winner!

although they were all so pretty had a hard time trying to choose one and got aunty jen in on the act to help me!

it also works as a handy little blanket....

if you're after one of these bad boys i have a handy discount code for you!

you light the spark in my bonfire heart.

at the weekend jay's beautiful cousin dhanisha had her engagement ceremony, and i wore my first sari!

apart from tripping up several times (alright ten times) it was pretty comfy to wear for most of the day, i had such a hard time choosing one as they're all so beautiful, my magpie senses were tingling

however this blue number instantly caught my eye (i know i know i already own so much blue but you know stick with what you know sometimes)

the event was at the palace at hatfield house, it was absolutely beautiful (although the old stairs and not being skilled at walking in a sari did lead to a few 'life flashing before my eyes moment') 

we went for a wander round the beautiful grounds in-between food and dancing (bad dancing in my case, espesh' as jays rather good at it)

we managed to snap some pictures for the parents to frame and some of us being really mature with the nakey statues....more on that another time..

sari : shop in green street

bag : borrowed from mama k/ oasis

necklace : ruby room

sandal : primark (the blingiest thing i own)

and yes i did pretend i was princess jasmine for a little bit, i mean who wouldn't....

love livvy

p.s. i also took some cheeky iPhone snaps

nobody's holding you back from me.

hello!

well i have something a little different for you today!

the lovely team at aero contacted me and asked if i wanted to be part of the 'aero bubble hopper challenge' 

chocolate and acting my mental age of five in a bubble hopper, i of course said hellzzz yeaaaah (well i said yes please but you know)

papa newman and i decided to take it on an adventure round our village (mainly fields, i have a talent for accidentally popping things so we thought that would be safest...)

blondie had a face of 'what you doing guurrrrrl' pretty much the whole time!

'such fun'

i had a miranda moment when i fell off the hopper....i know, i'm so elegant...

'captain liv of the bubble hopper!'

as i started to get more mature with my poses papa newman decided he wanted to get in on the action!

'bouncy bouncy ohhhh such a good time' 

aero sent me these yummy bits, and now its a chance for you to get in on the action!

comment on this post and tell me how you would use the aero bubble hopper, be as imaginative and creative as possible! 

you can win your own bubble hopper kit and ten bags of aero bubbles peppermint

the winners will be contacted on the twelfth of august 

i can't wait to read your entries! 

love livvy

as soon as i wake up every night, every day.

basically you're going to need some sort of cocktail or perhaps a hot beverage (said beveraaagggeeee) to sit through this lot, i lack any sort of decision making skills when it comes to photos (once they're the ones that i like and have edited, i'm pretty though when it comes to the first part!) 

soooo for those who haven't caught up with my life and stuff (where have you been!)...joking but i have been banging on about it, jay and i went to tenerife last week for some sun (too much sun according to my knees, who just burns their knees?!)

our hotel was pretty swish, apart from the fact they gave us two single beds pushed together instead of a double and the choice of sheet pattern was very questionable however we had a lovely balcony that we spent many an afternoon on and all the staff were really helpful!

i did also enjoy pretending to be olivia khatri for the week...

our hotel had steps down onto the beach and the path that stretched along a massive bit of the island, each bit had a cove of beach that we stopped of at (jay looked at the rocks obvz, you can take the boy out of a geology degree but you can't take the geology degree out of the boy!)

in one of our favourite parts there were tiny rock pools that had tropical fish and crabs in, jay also rescued a fish from a shrinking rock pool, rock boy saves that day!

our hotel offered a shuttle bus to the nearby cites, so we had a little day trip to los cristianos where the beaches had white sand (all the beaches in tenerife apart from two have black sand, fun fact for you there eh) although the white sand is just as hot, cue burnt soles as well as burnt knees.

as well as a subway...i know i know but I'm a sucker for a toasted sandwich okay...we had some amzinnggg ice cream, i was torn between oreo and ferrero rocher (rocher won, it was divine)

on the wednesday it was jay birds birthday! it was mainly lounging by the pool and having lots of rum and cokes (god bless all inclusive) 

when we got up to our room we found a lovely letter and bottle of fizz from the hotel, i took jay for a mexican (i ate it too fast to take a picture) we also had some lush mango margaritas, heading home pretty giggly we finished off the rest of the cava, chatted late into the night on our balcony and woke up just in time for breakfast!

on our last day we wanted to walk along our favourite bit of the coast (also that we had checked out and needed to distract ourselves from the fact that we wanted to go swimming)

i still can't over how blue the ocean was! (i've never really been anywhere tropical) 

i wish england was this beautiful and serene, i mean essex it beautiful but not really serene (the joys of living near an airport)  

after a long journey back, we finally fell into jays bed at two thirty am and already wished we were back!

love livvy
