dress | zara

jacket | ebay

necklace | local boutique

hat | accesorize

boots | fashion union*

i wanted to save this dress for a really warm sunny day...and then i realised i'm me and want to wear anything new right that second (i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one...i hope...)

these pictures have been plagued with a case of squinty eye again! didn't even bloody realise i was doing it...

once again rekindling my love for my indiana jones hat, papa newman approves but he is a man of many hats so i'm sure he was just eyeing it up for his collection. 

family newman are living up to our culture vulture nature and going to the ballet tonight, we also went to see cuban fury last night (absolutely hilarious!) you just can't stop us eh?

jumpsuit | little mistress*

heels | matalan*

squinty eye | rare sunny weather

i won't lie my neighbours came out of their houses to ask what papa and i were where doing when we were taking these pictures, ah village life!

i'm a big fan of a jumpsuit, they're just so comfy and this one is no exception. it also has a lace back back i'm an idiot and forgot to photograph it...

i thought i should share that at work today i mostly moved sand and pebbles around in various vase's, ah visual merchandising you joy!

with all your magic, you disappear from view.

a few weeks ago i attend the 'real catwalk' created by pasha in aid of the charity young minds

the catwalks aim was to show that anyone can be part of fashion and that we should encourage diversity in it (which i am totally all for!) 

i arrived and located my chair with my name and blog on ( i felt very profesh i won't lie) and a cupcake made by pasha's mum, pasha's mum can make me cupcakes any day of the week as it was so good i thought about stealing other peoples who hadn't arrive yet...but i didn't

i sneaked backstage to take a few photos of the models and make up artists, then went and took my seat for the show.

all the clothes were available to buy in southampton and with  high street names like new look and river island everyone looked stylish but it was good to know that all the items were affordable

the show went through a number of trends for spring/summer and showed how people of any age could wear them

the show was a great experience and i could really see all the work and thought that had been into it!

hit the road jack.

mug | loafers | jumper | perfume | underwear | jeans | bag | necklace | make up bag | instax film

currently obsessed with green and blue (clearly) but i always have been so its just the norm'

the green bag is just so dreamy i went into my local accessorize and see if the colour was just as nice as it is online (it is) and thinking how beautiful the loafers would look with it (although they pretty pricey so i don't think i will be treating myself to them anytime soon)

after smelling the juicy couture perfume in john lewis the other month it has been on my list, i always find i can't never quite bring myself to buy perfume i normally wait for birthdays and christmas although the website i've linked does sell it for a really good price!

its common fact the cream knitted jumpers, anything cath kidston or emma bridgewater are my favourite things (so of course they snuck in)

this is a very 'wishy' wish list as most of them will stay as wishes, however i feel that if make other people want them too it makes it less bad (i know, i'm mean..)

i need sunshine, i need angels.

enjoyable things from this weekend

1. eating gelato in the park with my housemates

2. wandering round the shops on my own listening to kings of leon

3. pancakes in bed

4. looking a pretty pictures for research 

5. making sunday night pie

just little snippets of my weekend, it was a quiet one with me mainly pottering about and enjoying the sun shine (which was bloody glorious) and eating too much (the norm) oh and rekindling my addiction to keeping up with the kardashians 

love livvy

keep me dreaming.

dress | lashes of london*

trench and bag | primark

shoes | matalan*

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

xoxo

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