hello!
how lush was the weather in laaaandan today!?
although the wind was not my friend in the hair department as you can see...
despite being pretty bruised at battered after falling down some stairs on thursday (my left leg is a mess) this weekend has been so so lovely.
jay and i went out for dinner last night for an early anniversary meal (two years next sunday eek!) we went to jamies italian at westfield stratford and i highly recommend the early grey martinis, ahhhmaaazzziinnggg!
today we fully embraced the sunshine today with a big bowl of fruit for breakfast on the balcony, a walk in victoria park, a glass of pimms (first one of the year in that pub apparently!) ice cream and emergency sandal buying!
love livvy

p.s. in love with this nail varnish combo and the smell of this candle

bonjour!
as you can tell from the gazillion photographs i have just bombarded your eyes with that i have been on a petie trip to paris (ite i'll stop with the french now) i left on tuesday and got back this afternoon.
a family newman trip is never complete without staying with some sort of friends and relatives so we stayed in our friends beautiful eighteenth century flat, as well as our friends we were welcomed by their dog calcium (best dog name evz) if you look carefully at the picture of him you can see he sports a fine moustache (you can also twist his hair into a unicorn horn...)
as a fam' we have visited paris a few times before we didn't do the usual touristy business (well the eiffel tower has to be done...) well things that were a little less touristy.
we went to chateau de vincennes for some history fun and made friends with the castle cat, standard. 
we still manage to have some shenanigans on the metro but between papa n's and my linguist skills we didn't go the wrong way...too much..ahem.
i also managed to slip in a cheeky trip to laduree, and that my friends is something that needs to be experienced.
so after a few jam packed (well nutella) days i am glad to be back in my bed, it is a little lonely though as jay has left me for a fossil geeks field trip (i didn't have to share my macaroons thought muhaha) so i'm going to curl up with my french magazines and my macaroon baby.

love livvy

fancy being a beb (french accent there kids) you can still vote for me as 'best use of photography' in the company blog awards (i'll shut up about it soon, pwomise)

when i need you make everything stop



last night me and my favourite hampton of the south gals went for a little ellen/livs birthday/bye bye pontin (the fringy one) dinner at bella italia. 
pontin is leaving us for the big wide world of work for a year and it won't be the same without her borat voices, inappropriate dancing and comments and general lusting over everyone else's dinner, but i'm so proud of her for being such a clever little sausage!
after craving a burger for what feels like forever and sharing a hugggeeeee sundae with pryme i pretty much rolled how but it was still lovely and light outside so the walk home was pretty as the parks round here are lush apart from when you're being harassed by tramps but thats another story for another day.
also don't clazones look a little bit like big leaky pastries, just me..no? (not the nicest of descriptions i know)
jacket: ebay (i know i don't even have to tell you that now)
top and bangle: primark
jeans: topshop
loafers: clarks
bag: cambridge satchel company

my topshop jean collection has doubled (as in now i own two pairs instead of one) i decided after going into toppers westfield to get a bikini (which isn't in two of their stores, sort it out yeah toppers) that i would bite the bullet and get some joni's, i tired them on and it was luuuurve, i'm also enjoying being able to control how much ankle i show (ohh such a victorian minx in my jamies flashing my ankles all over the show)
i'm sure you've seen this top in primarni and if you have tried it on found the bloody odd the fitting is, i got a twelve as the eight was incredibly low and baggy on the boobs but tight under the arms, i mean really how will that ever fit anyone i'm not even that blessed in the boob dept. so being the little crafter i am i got a bigger one and shortened the straps...not really a hard task but you know points for being efficient and stuff...
i did still accidentally flashed a few people because it was windy but i'm sure nobody was scarred for life (at least i hope not...apologies if you were..)
anyway to sum up primark sort your fitting out because its drunk and need to go home. topshop snaps to you for making wonderful jeans but please sort your bikini stocks out in stores, i mean i expected it of so'ton but westfield really could up their game on that.
right ramble over
liv over and out....that was a bit lame...i'll just stick to what i know..
love livvy

p.s. anyone interested in fashion who lives in the southampton area might want to check out southampton fashion week, sadly i won't be able to go as i will be at home celebrating my birthday but it does look rather good!

hello homeslices!
so looky who finally got a hair cut!
i seem to be getting the habit of popping into sainsburys (its in the same building as the car park) and buying baking things, i picked up a macaroon kit today! (yes, my life is very exciting) 
i was having a mooch in westfield waiting for jay to finish work and spotted this trench, i've wanted one for what feels like since the dawn of time so i decide that this baby would be mine. 
i've been chain watching the O.C. (so so obsessed) and its making me wish england wasn't so snowy and horrible right now, gimme sunshine!
love livvy

dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight.


dress: primark
cardi: zara
necklace: ebay
shoes: new look

bonjour!
this little red number is making me hopeful for summer, jen however doesn't feel this way;
me -"i like wearing red it makes me happy"
jenny- "i like wearing black, it makes me grumpy, which makes me happy"
she's a cheery little chum sometimes.
also i went and got a mama's day gift, i spotted it at work the other week and knew she would love it (mama if you're reading this don't scroll down!)

necklace: delilah dust
bag: gift

good afternoon beautiful reader
well actually its pretty much evening, but anyway...
today has been pretty lazy and lovely just eating and cuddling up to jay, its been a very healthy day of pancakes and then a trip to the fish and chip shop (i won't tell if you don't)
these jeans have now been replaced by pj's as they are super tight and the chicken nuggets and chips i had got the better of me, plus sundays are for pj's.
as you all seemed to enjoy my last little playlist i thought it would be a regular thing, here are some more gems for your listening pleasure (jay and i can't get enough of the laura mvula song)
enjoy with some sort of yummy thing (for example the pain au chocolat below) and a hot beverage (preferably tea, they feel like tea songs..i don't know why)
love livvy

faux fur: dorthey perkins
sunnies: H&M
bag: satchel 

hello!
this is a little outfit i put on for a trip to westfield for some bowling, which just turned into getting food...(us fattys, no...ahem) jay would have probably thrashed me anyway!
jay and i didn't do anything on valentines day but i did get some beautiful tulips on friday when i arrived at his.
i recently won a giveaway on cohens blog, got some lovely cath kidston goodies that i luuuurve.
i got another necklace in the delilah dust sale, i've wanted an initial necklace for ages but o is a bit of a boring letter, jay jokingly said get a j then and i thought it was a sweet idea. 
love livvy

p.s. lizzie, here is a joke specially for you

What did the green grape say to the purple grape?

Breathe, idiot! BREATHE!
