xXx

I loved seeing Cheryl supporting fellow Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberly Walsh on tonights Strictly Come Dancing . Nice to know celebs like Cheryl take time out of their busy schedules to support those close to them .

Always focus on the positive aspects of your life ..


This post is also an excuse to say how much I loved Kimberly's super sparkly outfit tonight by far my favourite in the series so far.

Love Liv xXx

When Big Is Better .

Although I was never blessed with  large boobs many of my friends are lucky enough to have been, and many of these are combined with a smaller back size.
For years I have heard them talk about how hard it is to find suitable, comfy bras that not only provide adequate support but that also look beautiful and allow them to feel sexy; a far reach from the frumpy designs on the high street. 

That is until now, or to be more precise since 2010 when Alexis Smith first stepped out into the lingerie scene seeing a gap in the market for women like herself who were fed up of ill fitting bras. 
Alexis has gone on to produce some of prettiest lingerie designs i've seen, whose underwear sets are also loved by celebrities such as Jessica - Jane Clements and Towie's Chloe Sims. 
The Only Way Is Essex star Jessica Wright is also a strong advocate for the brand by becoming the face   of Alexis Smith Lingerie, where she then went on to design her own exclusive range "With Love Jessica" which graced our screens on the popular reality series. 
Not only are Alexis Smith's bra beautiful in appearance they are also extremely affordable which is not a collaboration you see very often, especially with such a niche product. 



As if this wasn't exciting enough last night saw the launch of the new collection at the London Hotspot Aura in Mayfair, a star studded event with the edition of half naked men and cupcakes ... What more could you wish for . 
I also salute Alexis for the use of slim but curvy models, which is a far distance from the super skinny lingerie models we are used to seeing. 



For more information on all the fabulous designs and to get your hands on your very own sets be sure to check out their website as i am sure they are going to go like hot cakes.

A little Festive Advertising ...

Growing up one of the things  that made me feel all festive was the Coca Cola advert showing the big red  train, this was when everyone knew that Holidays Were Coming !!
My festive anticipation has altered slightly over the  past years , still sticking with christmasy themed advertising just with a completely different brand .

This of course being John Lewis...

These adverts capture your heart and give you the warm fuzzy feeling that christmas brings, with last years advert even making me shed a little tear.
No matter what your age or whether you are the biggest scrooge they take you back to a time when you were small and christmas was the most magical time of your life.
Tapping into emotional cognitions is a very clever advertising technique, and although in some circumstances I believe this is a little unethical in this case I feel it works really well. No matter how big or small you are you want to feel this heartwarming emotion this time of year, so well done to John Lewis for this clever combination of technique to produce such magic .
I am so excited to see what the genius people at John Lewis produce this year but just to set you in the mood,or for those who have been unfortunate enough not to have seen them here are the adverts from the last few years ...

ENJOY xXx

New Girl Crush - And Style Icon ...

The Kardashians have graced the pages of many publications both online and magazines and can regularly be seen on our television .
Making up 50% of one of the US's Hottest couple Kim Kardashian seems to be the most popular and with her star studded boyfriend Kanye West its no wonder that no day goes by without new images of them being released.
My new girl crush is however Kim's sister Kourtney whose style I love, like myself she is a fan of the blazer and floaty materials .. making her my latest style icon .
