I’ve been pretty much obsessed Liberty since their collab with Target when I was a kid. I’ve always enjoyed going to these sort of legendary department stores when traveling to bigger cities but there’s something extra special about this one. So many are in these beautiful historic buildings, but these interiors have been renovated so many times they just feel like your average mall. Not Liberty. This store is so beautiful and filled with so many treasures. I could look at their printed fabrics forever. Not to mention they have their own bookshop!

😃New York’s best hidden gem! the owner makes all of the clothing at a sewing machine in the middle of the retail shop so she offers free on the spot alterations on anything she has made, there is an adorable shop beagle who greets you at the door, the music they play makes you feel like you’re in another era, but best of all… they stock work from over 30 independent sustainable designers from all over the place! the owner Liv is so incredibly fabulous and lovely with a sprinkle of pre war charm, she has the best stories and styling advice and makes you feel right at home! It’s dress up party vibes there all the time and every time you visit you leave 20x cooler. Plus- they offer free repairs on any By Liv garment FOREVER. lifetime guarantee baby!

I usually just make myself drip coffee or a single cup of tea during the week but I’ve got a little time so why not make a whole tea service just for me

One of my favorite weekend activities! Here’s this weeks haul. It reminds me of going to the video store as a kid and gives me shopping vibes and I have a whole weekend of entertainment and did spend a cent.
