just keep me where the light is.

hello lovelies 

so the more observant of you will have noticed a have a new blog header and a button (that you can pop on your blog if you fancy) and if you haven't noticed then shame on you because its bloody beautiful.

it was designed by my good friend (that makes us sound forty doesn't it..) rebecca duff-smith (lolz not used to calling her that but got to be profesh' and stuff) 

anywayyysssss she is a bit of a wizard with a black muji pen, and she is rather handy with the ol' 3d stuff as well.

this is her blog: http://rduffs.tumblr.com/

she studied her foundation at central saint martins (got a distinction cause she is fab) and is studying graphic design there next year

 its fair to say she is god amongst art teachers, and i wish i was as godily as her with my drawing skillzzz (but not her driving skills, thats a story for another day)

hope you're all in awe of her work, cause i am!

thank you for making my blog beautiful rduffs, you are truly fab.

love livvy

my man is fighting some unholy war.

playsuit: c/o motel rocks

lipstick: ruby tuesday by maxfactor 

hello lovelies!

a few weeks ago the lovely selina at motel rocks contacted me and offered to send me a gorgeous item from their collection, i chose this pippa playsuit and i love it!

if you look at my sidebar you can see that motel are offering you beautiful readers a fifteen percent discount with the code -TOPBLOG15- plus till the end of the jubilee they're offering a twenty-five percent discount with the code JUBILEE25!  

this playsuit makes me think of grease, the collar especially, i like pulling it up a and pretending i'm cool..(like rizzo)

i chose to pair it with my lipstick i got myself for my birthday, its not my perfect red but its pretty close (sometimes all you need is lipstick!)

my internet has been playing up so much lately so if i drop off the side of the world then that will be why, i will be sat at my laptop cursing bt wireless!

this weekend i rewatched the it crowd and forgot how flipping funny it was (made me snort with laughter, sexy i know) and how much i want to marry moss because we have matching glasses...

i'm off to a jungle themed party this week and have decided to go as the nights sky in the jungle, so i can wear glitter and my jumpsuit but i haven't a clue what shoes to wear! 

hope everyones had a lovely jubilee bank holiday!

love livvy

sweet dreams till sunbeams find you.

hello lovelies!

as todays weather is a bit poo i thought i would share a recipe that you might enjoy on a wet sunday afternoon if you're missing out on any jubilee shananigans.

i got the recipe from here and it is very easy to make (it makes a LOT of cookies) mine haven't turned out the neatest as they were a bit close to each other on the tray but they taste delicious. i used a mix of toblerone and some hotel chocolat stuff i had left over from my birthday instead of chocolate chips.

Ingredients 

• 225g (8 oz) butter, softened

• 200g (7 oz) caster sugar

• 225g (8 oz) dark brown soft sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 dessertspoon vanilla essence

• 375g (13 oz) plain flour

• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

• 1 dessertspoon hot water

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 350g (12 oz) chocolate chips

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4.

2. Cream together the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar until smooth. 

3.Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. 

4.Dissolve bicarbonate of soda in hot water. 

5.Add to batter along with salt. 

6.Stir in flour, chocolate chips and nuts. 

7.Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased baking trays.

8..Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

9.Enjoy with a cup of tea (or other hot beverage, whatever tickles your fancy).

now I'm off to watch jazz in the cold outside a pub, with my huge barbour on (may have to slip inside for a warming JD and coke, shhh its a secret)

i'm your little scarlet, starlet.

jumpsuit: zara

ear cuff: ebay

ring: ebay

hello lovlies!

and oh hai a rare show of the ol' cheek bone in the first picture.

i do feel like i'm wearing my pj's when i don this jumpsuit but i love it oh so much at the same time, the boys brother loving nicknamed it my genie outfit and they both teased me about it the whole day i wore it (that was last summer, i'm not holding any grudges...)

its the boys last day at sixth form today which is making me feel pretty old, i keep thinking i can't have left school a year ago nooooooooo and then remembering i'm nineteen and have to do adult things like pay rent and stuff for a house I'm not living in till september (boo)

tonight the boy and i are going to a where's wally party, not going to lie i'm looking forward to going to a party where i can wear my glasses. i got my XL red and white stripy top ready (only size in the shop but it handily doubles up as a dress) 

mama informed me this week that we're not doing anything for the jubilee, she was smiling and said thank god (did i come from this woman?!) so i will just have to make myself cucumber sandwiches and dink out my best mug in honour instead. 

love livvy
