money on my mind.

jacket and bracelet | ebay

shirt | H&M

jeans | topshop

boots | fashion union* 

watch | olivia burton

fedora | accessorize

this is one of my favourite outfits i have posted for a while, and there is no colour (what are this?!)

i got sent these boots last week from fashion union and i am in love, i've been after a simple pair of black boots for ages and these with their gold detailing are just perfect! and they don't pose as many sock issues as i thought they would...

this week i got back in the studio just to do a test shoot, which you can see a peak on my facebook 

sometimes its nice just to take pretty pictures without pressure and make things you want to, plus the practise always helps!

love livvy

p.s. my new nickname from katie is now indiana jones, apparently the hat makes me uncanny (which is fine cause he is a looker!)

i fell heavy into your arms.

i thought as i have been absent for most of january i would share my favourite things from it!

fashion

the jamie high waisted jeans from topshop, they are my holy grail of jeans (and should be at forty pounds!)

a beige fedora that makes me look like indiana jones

new slippers from primark (not very fashionable but very cosy)

miscellaneous

pretty note books, especially of the cath kidston variety

handing in my dissertation

still loving my instax month and months on

jewellery

normally this would fall under fashion but i've had a bit of a jewellery month

i was drooling at the olivia burton watches in john lewis feeling a bit grumpy that i am so poor, when jay out of nowhere said did i want one as my rotary is still waiting to be fixed, well this baby has firmly been attached to my wrist since and jay was an absolute diamond for getting it for me  

food

halloumi, with everything.

tzatziki, on everything.

pizza express dates,  an oldie but a goodie.

toaster waffles with nutella on, oh good lord.

beauty

jimmy choo's perfume, i always get compliments on it

la roche posay effaclar duo, au revoir blemishes

redken diamond oil conditioner, so worth the money (but thanks to mama for treating me to this)

tv

new season of keeping up with the kardashians

nashville, drama and country music are my guilty pleasures 

white collar, matt bomer is just so dreamy 

soooo a little round up of my january favourites, i have received a few lovely things via bloggers mail that i can't wait to share with you!

another favourite thing is seeing the video i was part of as a pilot for rimmel that was filmed in the summer with natasha stanbridge which you can see here as i'm a tool and can't find how to embed it on here!

tell me I'm not going home.

trench coat | primark

dress | asos

stole | dorethy perkins

boots | cloggs.com

bag | cambridge satchel company 

thats right friends, a smock dress with elephants on, what more could you want in a dress!

i'd been eyeing this baby up on asos for a while but couldn't justify it at full price so when i was pursuing the sale and stumbled across it i made sure i snapped it up straight away and in three to five working days it was mine!

the elephants are quite subtle so it isn't too in your face, plus its navy and we all know how much i love me some navy, basically i'm in love. 

in other news i reached 1000 bloglovin' followers!! like what evveeennnnn!

thank you to everyone, who has stuck around from the beginning but also the new ones who helped me reach this milestone! 

i know it might be a small number for some people but its pretty big for me!

love livvy

p.s. i went to see american hustle at the weekend and how amazing did amy adams look in it!

i was scared of dentists and the dark.

coat, jumper, shoes and necklace | primark

shirt | new look

jeans | topshop

rings | ebay 

bag | cambridge satchel company

this is my 'its so cold in my house you can see my breath' kinda outfit, despite the inappropriate shoe choice (which indoors are replaced with socks and uggs)

the primark jumper is an oldie but a goodie, i own it in white as well..just can't resist a cable knit and elbow patch combo

these shoes are a recent addition to my shoe family, they make my feet look like ski's but in a lady like kinda way so that makes it okay

i really need to get some more joni jeans but i just know that those will go to the same baggy fate that these will, so if you have any affordable suggestions that would be amazing! 

my one resolution this year is to smile more, at the end of last year i was stressed and grumpy and i want to make an effort to be the smiley person i used to be, so you will see a smilier liv in blog posts from now on!

i had (a very little) hair cut recently, i think its more noticeable if you look back at old posts just because my hair gets so wide when it needs cutting! my hairdresser (who is the best, i will always go there!) curled it into hollywood waves once it was finished and i was in love! i want to recreate it for a special occasion in the future!

p.s. my hollywood hair!

p.p.s. i'm still scared of dentists and the dark but this song is just divine 

watching me like you do.

hello from a very croaky and sniffly liv!

i've been battling a cold all christmas but my voice has been gone for a good few days and now i have a few days off before i go back to uni the germs are out in full force, i think working saved me from having it properly till now.

now onto a brighter note, i thought i would share some of the gorgeous gifts my lovely family and friends got me for christmas.

it was the year of the pj for me, both grandparents and mama k got me them (i bloody love pyjamas though so not complaints here)

not pictures are a gorgeous cath kidston bag that jay got me, as i'm always travelling here and there a weekend bag is the perfect gift for me!

mama likes to give me a piece of art each year so i can build my collection for when i have a house of my own, this year was a lino print of rough coat sausage dog (i have a serious obsession, very serious) by chrissie richards who is a local artist and family friend (i just couldn't take a photograph that did it justice, keep your eyes peeled on insta for it coming bak to so'ton with me) you can buy her work here!

 i am seriously in love with all my lovely gifts and everyone was so so generous this year, and yes the guinea pig nativity pig book is as good as it sounds!

today i am trying to do some of my uni work now i have some time off (no rest for the wicked eh) so far in my personal development plan i have written that in ten years i see myself having a sausage dog, i will be likely to have a sausage dog and unlikely not to have one. clear goals and all that...

later i'm going to venture outside (which looks horrendous) for a haircut and get some lemsip, all very exciting!

hope everyone who lives by the coast is staying safe <3

and the trumpets go.

just some pictures of my christmas!

we have allot of birthdays around christmas in our family, it was my grandpa's on christmas eve so we went for cake and gifts at his care home. 

i had been working all day so after his birthday celebrations went home briefly so i could wake up in my own bed for christmas morning!

after opening our presents at home went went to aunty jens (whose birthday it was) for lots of food and  allot more cake and more presents. 

in the evening i went to jays but we were so tired after a crazy few days work before christmas that after his family went home we just went to sleep!

on boxing day mama and papa picked me up and we all head to my aunty and uncles in norfolk, i always forget how beautiful (but windy!) it is there plus the cousin abuse i get (its out of love really)

hope everyone had a lovely christmas!

love livvy
