Not long ago, I felt really far from being a grown-up.
27 has always been my idea of a grown up age.
Don’t ask me why. I turned 27 in January.
But was does it actually mean being a grown-up. Growing.
Our body stops growing in height when we are around 18 years.
Our mind will hopefully never stop growing.
Growing up to means to not cry over a lolly in the supermarket.
Literally. To me it means to start sharing what you have learned.
To keep up without complaining. To accept, without giving up.
To teach, beside sill learning.
To take yourself less seriously but to treat yourself and others with more respect.
My goals in life have lately drastically changed. So have my values.
Not that I am no longer full of silly ideas, and still a hopeless romantic, doing 100 different creative projects at a time…all that is hopefully never going to change. I am still learning, always.
But something is different.More Relaxed. Less drama.
Something happened within the last year. I feel more grown-up.
What does growing up mean to you?

+ fresh fruit (my favorite are mangoes and apples)
+ Vichy thermal water spray (amazing to set make up and refresh the skin)
+ big (round) sunglasses
+ a well fitting bikini/swimwear this one is by Lepel via lingerieplease they were kind enough to sent me a set to review and I LOVE IT.
+ a good book , (“A Woman’s Book of Yoga”, brilliant!)
+ non greasy sunscreen 30+ for the face
+ a hat

Thank you sunshine! I had the best time. See you soon.

Love Liv

I am still trying to ignore the winter and snow outside.
That’s why I am digging orange lips right now they remind me to focus on the upcoming holiday.
If you like the orange “let’s-escape-winter-look” as well, you can find a make-up tutorial for this look here.
Through my new day job beside Blushless I decided to listen to my passion and the direction that life is pushing me through.
That means I am about to start a new career as make up artist.
It’s not a completely new field for me but I will built a brand new portfolio and keep learning.

There will be a chihuahua puppygirl in my life in a few months!!!
That’s not quite a wedding related topic but it will inspire me for the upcoming dresses.

I would be happy if you want to join in with name suggestions,
or general advice, book recommandations for chihuahuas or whatever.

This has been the first time in my life that I am without a dog.
It just doesn’t feel right, something is missing.

Names that I like:

All my favorites in one picture.
I bet she is on her way to get an icecoffee and some mango.

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!

Ohhhh these summernights! Liv is getting excited, for the first time in her life, she’ll see a movie in a drive in!!!
They just created an urban drive in in east London, with original 50′s cars, all already set up! I can’t wait!

I think this piece would be great to wear with a wedding dress, to cover your shoulders and keep you hot during a chilly summernight!
I want!

This is my motto of the year.

I want:

- SUMMER
- a room in London
- an extra Job in London
- to let BLUSHLESS grow
- to be wild and free and strong
- a few days on the beach!!!

For now I have to plan my moving to LONDON, which is soooo exciting.
(By the way: Anyone looking for a new housemate in London?? Liv is in need
of a room, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH and drop me an email)
Would love to find a live and work situation with creative wild people!

Because THIS just happened! Thank you ESB for your words.

…or about happy endings part II
Things could be so easy.
Just follow the three steps as shown above.
My dear friend and great artist Kinga Dunikowska created the work
“Happy End” for the Museum of Gelsenkirchen/Germany.

Apparently things are not that easy. But I guess that is
what makes life interesting and beautiful.

What a cake!
Liv (the official fruit addict) loves figs.
They look so sexy and taste soooooooo….
(you know what I am talking about?)
Its really easy to make Liv happy:Simply get her a mango,
icecoffee or maybe some fresh figs.
You can top it, by showing me some sunshine.
