dirty diana.

dress: primark

earrings: vintage 

hello lovelies

todays photographs were courtesy of the boy, hence why i look like i'm laughing in most of them but he needed a well deserved break from revision. 

quite of a few of you commented about this dress when i posted about buying it last month, so i thought it was (just about) warm enough to crack this bad boy out the wardrobe. 

i do feel a bit 'mad men' wearing it and i can't bend over that much but the boy finds it highly amusing so i suppose its worth crouching to get to the fridge. 

for those of you who notice these things, then yes you are correct, i have had a hair cut (well and those of you who follow me on twitter would already know that...) 

blondie keeps sneaking her way into outfit posts these days (she doesn't look that amused in this one, clearly pulling a tyra 'fierce' face)

i am writing to you as my last day of being an eighteen year old, tomorrow i'm going to the zoo with my fam' and the boy to celebrate the big one nine (turning nineteen in a grown up fashion obvz)

i have a little pile of gifts in the corner of my room looking at me saying 'ohhh open me, you know you want too' 

hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

love livvy

what are you waiting for.

dress: ebay/gift

hat: new look

dog and awkward hands: own 

hello lovelies

this dress was a gift from the boy, boy did good. 

this dress fits me like a glove, however i did stand with my arms over head for a good five minutes trying to get it off and no one was around to help (five minutes of worried squeaking from me) 

this is one of my favourite hats, its such a delicious colour! 

blondie was doing laps of the garden whilst i was taking these so there are a few outages of me running to save my camera and tripod from here razzing over the deck. 

i dare say this will be the most lady like you will ever see me as i do not specialise in looking elegant. 

today i have been a top daughter by hoovering and dusting the whole house (i hate hoovering, i always have hoover wars and the sodding lead always gets tangled)

anyway enough on my hoover rage, hope you're all having lovely weeks.

love livvy

hello lovelies  

'i moustache you a question, but i'll shave it for later' 

(makes me chuckle every time)

yesterday i ventured back down south to get some more feedback from uni, so far i have got all B's this term so fingers crossed that i pass my essay (and toes crossed).

i now have the joyful task of packing up all my stuff in-between watching a mad men box set, going for a romantic meal with E tonight because we are top gal' pals.

and then i shall once more be back into the loving arms of my bed, my one true love (...if you're reading this boy you know you come in right after mr bed)

not sure what is with my sideways lean going a bit how to pose like a fashion blogger on you all.

right now I'm looking despairing at the mess and wondering how the flipping heck i packed it all in the first place....

love livvy

ear cuff: ebay

  

hello lovelies

this is one my best bargains, i was looking for an outfit to wear when the boy came down to so'ton and we went out for some drinks and threw some (bad in my case) shapes. anyways i was in warehouse on a task at uni (i can hear you tutting already) looking at trends and i just so happened to stumble across the sale rail...on the tag it said the playsuit was ten pounds and originally fifty pounds but i took it to the till and the lady had a nice chat with me and said i'll give it to you for five pounds (five blaaady quid!) because it has a little stain on it (my hair covers it so i was all over that deal).

i really like the shape of the top even if it does make me look like i have swimmers shoulders at certain angles, i think it has a bit of  a 'sports luxe' feel to it, however when i wear it with tights and i jumper i make it look more boy scouts...

any of you lovely lot go any amazing bargain stories, i always love a good bargain story!
and a big massive hello to my beautiful friend sarah who i know will be reading this because she is a mega babe. 

love livvy

p.s. jus realised its a week till the big one nine (woaaaaah there adult age)

bless my heart, bless my soul.

papa newman carving up the roast a storm.  said roast.  tomato bread made by papa newman's fair hands (very tasty and i don't like tomatoes).  homemade curry with lime and lemongrass cordial.  cheese and biscuits and diet coke.  due to having lots of spare time things like this happen (mature as ever).

hello lovelies

lately i have been taking pictures of my food for some reason so i thought i would share it because i like seeing pictures of other peoples food (bit of a nosey parker). 

as you can see we attempted to make yorkshire puddings, mama said they were more yorkshire biscuits (still pretty tasty though) any yorkshire pudding tips out there beauties?

i have been taking some more outfit pictures so i will post them this week (i posted one day right after the other and it felt a bit funny) 

i tried doing my outfit pictures on the cream wall in my room they just didn't look right, so you all get to look at my deck for every outfit post (lucky buggers eh?, I'm joking i will probably get fed up and move to another spot) plus natural light is the best light.

hope everyones having a good week, i shall stop rambling now.

love livvy
