I always buy Liv lingerie around birthdays and Valentine’s Day - I know it’s selfish, but it’s a present for me as well. Even though I bought it for her, it’s a treat for me. I bought her something off Lovehoney, but I took it off quicker than she put it on. She’s got a tiny little waist and a big bum, which I love.
