Love me London Grammar
Weekly Lustlist
Top of the List, Topshop
Revive me, River Island
Just a short one from me today, going easy on the eyes! My wish lists from Topshop and River Island last week! As you know, I've been spending my days interning at Woman's magazine. While this is both a blessing and a curse A blessing for the incredible experience it is turning out to be, but a curse for my bank balance!
A Splash of Spring
As we get older, surprisingly the easter hunts actually get MORE exciting! Although I do wish that instead of hunting in the flowers for an egg, I was hunting for clothes instead!
I think ill have to pitch this one to my Dad when I get to see him next week! I think its a pretty good idea (and would save my student loan from drowning!)
After already posting about this seasons S/S trends HERE, I decided to create my own Easter Bunny list, with all the items that have been saved to my basket until a later date!
I have to admit, I am a sucker for a good old Kimono. I currently own 3 and definitely want my collecting to keep expanding. Maybe they will become my summer fetish, similar to my winter fetish of coats! Urban Outfitters combination of yellow and blue along with hints of whites is perfect fit to my collection.
This dress is the perfect combination of sexy for the evening but also light and playful for during the day. White was a hot topic on the catwalks for S/S'14, so definitely one to invest in. A Little White Dress, is the new black for this summer!
To add a little bit of funk to the outfit I thought this Topshop purse would fit perfectly! And could be used during the day with some sunnies and sandals, or at night with a killer pair of white heels!
I feel in love with this ASOS Co-ord as soon as I saw it. I've been looking around for some for a white now, and this is by far the nicest! Thick stripes are in and pinstripe is out this summer! Accompany this with the hot-colour Lemon coat and it would make the perfect summer chic outfit!
I first came across this collection of amazing shoes while looking on loveclothing, and I feel deeply in love (mostly with the top line!). It wasn't until they were released that I realised they were Jeffery Campbell, and then it all became clear as to why they were so beautiful! It seems that the chunky white heel is definitely a MUST have this summer! So if you're going to buy one thing on trend, let it be that! River Island and Urban Outfitters do a nice smaller heel version for those of us who can't walk around all day in a 6 inch and don't have £150 to spend right now! :)
Last but not least, a new pair of sunnies for the summer is always vital! Topshop (as always) have a beautiful range. It looks like the retro John Lennon circle has been carried over from last summer to this one! I don't mind...I wasn't ready to chuck my sunnies out anyway!

Polishing off the month
Hey guys :) sorry for the delay, as you can see I am mid-updating my site as I got bored of the other style!! Here is an upbeat read while I'm in the update process :)
I have to say, I may have a little unhealthy obsession with 'Colour Show' nail varnishes this month. However I really do hate having to pay extortionate prices for varnish - at just 2.99, and usually with a 3 for 2 deal on, these seem perfect. My absolute favourites are the pale pink and white, very cute and girlie, however sometimes I like to be a bit edgy with some black or colour popping blue! I got most of these babies from Tesco or Superdrug :) go get some now! Bargain

What I Want From the Easter Bunny :)
Spring Interests
With the addition of the sun to our windows recently in London, it has inspired me to start adapting my winder wardrobe to Spring. While rummaging around and adapting some golden oldies into new styles ready to step out into the sun, I have also been browsing the Web, adding to my already monster long wish list!
While on Urban Outfitters 'New-In' section I recognised that they had some BEAUTIFUL stuff in store so I thought I would pick out some untimate favourites and share them with you.
I would personally die to wear this outfit (after having a spray tan on my see through white legs of course!). Its current but also has a Vintage edge to it with the encorporation of the dark greens and browns, and obviously those sunnies!!
The shoes really win over the whole outfit for me and bring the whole thing together while screaming FASHIONISTA!!!

Everyday Essentials - My Smell
ANNA SUI
Night of Fancy
First off I'm sorry for not blogging for a whole week! I know I've been bad but I've been so busy and then I've been really tired and ill, (still have a headache) and we all know what its like when you feel like that! Can't be bothered to do anything.
Anyway I have been meaning to do this post for a while now, I just haven't got round to it. So seeing as I can't take any pictures of myself (because I look like poo) taking these was a better option. I have been using this perfume for about a year and a half now! I recieved it off a friend as an 18th birthday present!! I first got the idea of wanting Anna Sui Perfume when my dance teacher was wearing the 'Flight of Fancy' fragrance (see here). This fragrence is very fruity and exotic, very similar to my Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy perfume. Anyway I must have got the name slightly wrong when remembering which one I wanted so I ended up with this one (see here).
Flight of Fancy is the complete opposite to Night of Fancy. Night is more seductive with a mixture of Blueberry and Wild Strawberry! Still as endeering as the Flight perfume, just more apt to evening wear. I would recommend this scent for all occasions (although it is more sensual) its sweet fragrance isn't too overpowering for day wear, but just enough for the evening too!
Although you can view both fragrances from the Anna Sui website here, which I have to say is one hell of a beautiful website (I just like to go on there and look around). You can only really purchase them in store. I would recommend looking around stores such as The Fragrance Shop, Boots, Superdrug, The Perfume Shop, or any others you come across.
If you are looking to complete the gift, both perfumes have their own matching Shower Gel and Body Lotion. A gift of these 3 is one sure to be remembered. So whether its a Birthday, Christmas, or maybe a cheeky Valentines present - Anna Sui is a big hit!!
Love Livy x
