i won't lie standing this dressed up outside my house on a wednesday afternoon was an experience, i thought i would break away from my comforts of the ally as i felt a bit fancy!

and thats right friends, i am wearing my coat on my shoulders trying to be fasshhhuuunnn (not so much...) 

it probably wasn't my best idea to have a massive lunch before shooting this (cue food baby or twins..) but this pink sparkly number is worth it!

lately i've been busying myself with my final major project, you can keep up with my work here.

i am currently wearing something much warmer and of the jumper variety, however it has been warming up in old hampton of the south which is very welcome!

love livvy

p.s. do you prefer the pictures being bigger or would you rather i stuck to my normal layout?

theres a lot of words to call out.

photographs by amber dolley

i wanted to share with you some pictures the lovely amber took of me the other month. 

as her styling and photography is so pretty i agreed to get my pins out in the rain, in january. i have to say she made me look a hella lot cooler than i really am (point, i'm not cool at all)

i was partially in love with the all pink outfit, not being a pink person with clothes department, but i was sold by the soft jersey dress and nude heels just made me feel a classy but causal, it that a mix like smart casual? lets say it is....

you can look at more of ambers work on her website

p.s. today i got caught in a hailstorm with no umbrella, i do not recommend this to anyone. ever.

today there was sun, what is this madness! sorry to be all english and bang on about the weather but good lord it has been foul that last few weeks! as it was sunny jay and i ventured to one of our favourite spots with the intention of getting bagels, we got falafels (and donuts and macrons...naughty in know) but you know theres always another trip for bagels...especially as its only a short bus ride away.

we went in the photo booth in rough trade, lets just say we are not well practised in the art of 'photoboothing' but i think we mastered the last two so it wasn't all bad! 

i love walking along the side streets around spitalfileds and looking up at all the beautiful architecture, made even more so by the sunshine!

i've had one the best weekends i've had in a while, on friday jay took me to browns next to london bridge for valentines dinner which was delicious (we did get a tad lost and very windswept but thats what you get for going outside in england!) plus yesterday i ate more chocolate than i pretty much have ever, i got jay one of those massive thorntons boxes for valentines not knowing he had boxes and boxes of chocolate given to him by his cousin (i'm not complaining...) 

now i'm just watching jay make me a prawn curry (perks of having a half indian an boyfriend!) whilst we are both singing badly along to kisstory!

hope everyone has had a lovely sunny weekend!

love livvy

p.s. our excellent photobooth skillzzz (i still think its cute though)

i can't fight this feeling anymore.

shoes | accessorize   necklace | primark

hummingbird ring | jana reinhardt*   wish ring | indigo bay

i wish it hadn't been so darn windy when i took these pictures as i don't think they do the dress justice, its just so pretty in real life!

i'm planning on wearing this dress when i go out for dinner with jay tomorrow, although i think i'm going to need some sturdier heels for walking about in london, these heels are so pretty but i can only handle a few hours in them and the slow shuffle walk is used...

hope everyone has a lovely valentines day, whatever you're doing and whoever you're with! 

i've always liked celebrating the day even when i was single, because you can show your besties some love (alright i'll stop with the mush)

love livvy

p.s. i also wore it out the other night with these beauties

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!

love livvy
