gina conway x miss saigon

last week i was invited to see miss saigon with gina conway, it was the loveliest evening i have had in a long time!

my favourite chum jade was my date for the evening as she loves musicals more than anyone i know.

we were invited to banana tree for a tasting menu before the show, however we only managed to squeeze in a lychee mojito before we dashed off to the theatre so i could get my nails done by one of the lovely ladies who works for prive by gina conway, all treatments can be done in the comfort of your own home or hotel room, which is pretty snazzy if you ask me. 

whilst i was having my nails done, gina herself started chatting to me and offered to do a little something to my mane, she gave me a beautiful fishtail braid! 

the show itself was amazing, jade and i were transfixed and when the show finished we couldn't stop saying how much we loved the show!

So this weeks post is going to be slightly different. Most of you have probably seen me in a post or two, but for those who haven't, I'm Livvy's other half, Jay. Your probably wondering what I'm doing on here, and the reason is to talk about an awesome watch I was given by the kind guys at Woodwatches.com. I have a slight addiction to watches, and so I was thrilled to know I was getting a review unit! 

I had seen wooded watches on Pintrest in the past but never thought about buying one, but know I have one, I can honestly say I love them! The model I received was the Dover in Koa and Black colour scheme. Visually, the watch is beautiful, with my favourite feature being the exposed mechanics in the face and on the back plate. It has a sapphire crystal face and has an automatic movement mechanism meaning I never need a battery, which is an extremely handy feature! The strap and body are made from real hard wood, and the finish is superb. I was expecting the watch to be reasonably heavy, however it's light on the wrist and fits very comfortably. Would definitely recommend this watch to any guy looking for alternative timepiece! 

Thanks again to Jord and Woodwatches.com!

Jay out.

sandals | clarks via brantano

so i've been felling a little summery recently, which basically means wearing sandals with my usual jeans and jumper uniform. 

the lovely people at brantano offered to aid my in my fickle sandal collection, being a creature of habit they are obviously tan leather (its a hard habit to break okay!)

they pretties will be gracing my feet regularly throughout the summer, plus they have a little bit of a heel which makes me feel all fancy!

the illustrious beauty post!

i've never really dabbled in mineral make up before, i've already been a liquid foundation kinda gal however in a bid to avoid my skin going back to the state it was at christmas i have been looking into make up thats kind to my skin, in steps the english mineral make up company. 

our lovely family friends jeanette and grace have founded a makeup company, with all the products being vegan and chemical free, including the brushes (which is pretty cool, non?) 

the makeup is a dream to wear, i basically feel like i'm not wearing any foundation but it covers my blemishes and red tones a treat. the blush is the prefect shade to compliment my ghostly skin and a little goes a long way. 

plus the packing is super pretty, anything that involves the combination of cream, pink and ribbons. i'm in!

i have been gifted the makeup for a review basis, however all views are my own*
