Liv is organising the upcoming photo/video shoot for the
new Blushless styles,
finishing dresses, puzzling the concept together.
Psssssssssssst, it will be 1,2,3! new styles-
And you had a little sneak-peak already.
Time is going superfast right now.
Can’t believe August is already over.
2010 is on speed. I have to go back to work.
See ya soon.

I have to say I haven’t had one of this days in ages.
But today it fully kicked in. I started to question every little dust corn in my life.
Just everything went wrong. I kept making the most ridiculous mistakes 3 times in a row.
My train was delayed ….I had a headache-my brain felt like mash:
Small things really.
But enough to realise I NEED A LITTLE BREAK,
just this one night without work. The evening off, at least.
And I am already feeling better!
I had a delicious dinner at Busaba Eathai in Shoreditch.
I needed some people watching I had to leave the house, and my work for some time.
Thank you Dave for fabulous company and motivation.
And now I snuggle up EARLY and listen to the storm and rain outside.
What do you do if you have one of those days? What brings you back on track?

Here is to the ultimate eloping outfit:
I would highly recommend my new shoes as comfortable bridal flats, for all the “eff-the-heels-brides” that look for something cool and chic (and vegan).
They would make fantastic eloping shoes to just run out of the townhall and jump in the car!
Complete the look with the soft cotton skull & heart print scarf, that you can drape around your head to protect your hair while driving away in a convertible off to your adventurous roadtrip honeymoon ; )

WOAH! Now: That’s a GOLDEN cake!
And the little fruit cakes are not bad either.
They remind me of the ones we served at our housewarming.

This best answer for sceptical persons EVER I’ve found at
A Practical Wedding:
Me: D. and I got engaged! Yayyyyy!!!
Her: Oh. That’s nice. I don’t believe in marriage.
Me: ……….
Me: Um. It’s not fairies. You don’t have to DO it, but it does exist.
Great tipps to stay happy you can find at the guest post series Secrets To A Happy Marriage

I did some wedding tattoo research, though I am not totally into the idea.
I love real jewelry too much and also love the traditonal idea of exchanging the rings.
That would obviously not work with tatoos.
Anna And the Ring is on wedding band hunt.
As a doctor she has to wash her hands all the time and is not a massive fan of loads of bling on her hands. She already “has to” wear this stunning engagement ring.
For all the tatoo lovers among you or as an additional idea, ON TOP OF A RING ; ) , you can find my favorites above! As well as HERE & HERE
More wedding band inspiration from my blog this way.

As crazy as I am about new experimental jewelry designers,
as much I do like old/vintage jewelry.
It seems so very magical to me.
The other day I came across a random 2nd hand jewelry shop in our neighbourhood and it got me.
I started to think about the story they had to tell.
Some girls get really lucky by “inheriting” an engagement ring of the mother or grandmother of their
soon to be husband. I love Anna’s engagament ring.
And I can’t wait to attend her wedding in November this year.
She helped me out with a couch while I was flat hunting in London and she really is wild at heart and weird on top! And I have seen this ring in real. It is stunning!

Hello summer,
thank you for rooftop pool & poker parties, bbqs, ripe berries, picnics and icecoffee…forever yours Liv xxx
Hope you guys are enjoying the sun as well.
I am sorry for the lack of posts lately…but I am still in “getting-settled-in-london-mode” and all the moving countries
and moving business takes up much more of my time then expected.
I am happy though. Very happy. And things are going well.
There is something I have to tell you.
And I will (soon!)
P.S: Is anyone up for supportive GUEST POSTS here !?
I have to move flats again in 3 weeks (eeek!) have to get furniture and stuff, work on the next BLUSHLESS collection and I would love to see your post here.
Come and PLAY. Get in touch!
Last week we attended a rad wedding in a pub in East London.
The couple owns/manages a club in East London and decided to invite basically everyone, that has ever been a guest at the venue.
It was fantastic. The place was overly decorated with pink, flamingos, they had a candy buffett, and a really rockin live band.
Even if thats not my style at all, the atmosphere was great.
Candy and bourbon is a really great combination by the way.
Note to self: I have to have a candy buffet on my wedding!

Today we got a fancy sexy music mix of Beattrainproductions:
Listen to it here.
About this mix…
My name is Ari. I work as a DJ and split my time between New York City and Boston. I am often booked to DJ at weddings in which the couples are looking for a very eclectic and distinctive mix of music. Recently, I was thrilled when a couple asked me to come up with a mix of retro french pop songs for their cocktail hour (one of my many record fetishes). Here’s a mix of some of the sultry, sexy french records I played from the likes of Bridget Bardot, Serge Gainsbourg and France Gall.
If you’re curious to hear some other mixes, I have a couple websites:

For their wedding ceremony Cori & Z of hat & feathers created a wonderful version of an old tradition:
“We put a bottle of wine, two glasses, & a set of love letters (written in secret & unshared) into a wooden crate and then sealed it with nails (each nail was hammered by a family member to show their commitment to supporting our marriage & then finally by us). The crate is meant as an act of reassurance, a romantic gesture–if ever our relationship is in peril, we are to open the crate, drink the wine, & read the letters before we make any decisions about our future.”
Oh yeah, I love it!
