I've been watching a lot of British PBS mystery shows set around the 1950's/1960's lately, and oh my god the interior design. Grantchester and Endeavour are so worth watching if you like good, old school mysteries.

The furniture and bold colors of the walls, floors, pretty much everything in some of the locations of these shows interiors are amazing.

I like the mid century modern super clean lines, but I love, love, love the grandiose of this era too.

The house I grew up in had tons of wallpaper, but there was one bathroom thats walls and ceilings were covered with green vines and bright bold flowers. My Nana's house has a bathroom as well, that is covered too, walls and ceilings in green, peach and yellow huge flowers.

So, it's in my blood, I will have floral wallpaper at some point in my life.

GIVE ME ALL THE FAUX FUR

I love faux fur (and fur, no lecture thanks! I only own vintage fur that was handed down to me) so very much! It takes any outfit to the next level of dopness.

Here are some of the jackets I love. Along with the gorgeous accessories and heels.

2015

2015. I can't believe it's over. It was a big year.

Left LA for NYC.

Stopped doing hair.

Started my plus size company Liebling and Burke.

Lived with one BFF and her fam.

Drove across country with another BFF.

Started a body positive instagram page @ignoretheshould.

Traveled.

Rachel and I got engaged.

I mean so so so much happened in 2015.

I totally neglected this little blog space of mine.

With all of the change this year, I have at times felt a bit overwhelmed. Admitting that is pretty tough for me. I definitely am someone who is competitive and a no bullshit kinda attitude when it comes to working for something you want. I don't accept being overwhelmed very well. I get annoyed that I can't handle it all.

That being said, I am now in NYC, "jobless" and working solely on Liebling and Burke and @ignoretheshould, and picking this blog up by its boot straps. Filling my days with Libeling and Burke and hunting for the new pieces for the shop has been exciting and frustrating. I really want to design, but with my budget thats not an option at this point. Sourcing clothes is something I will always do, but out of 1,000 shirts I may find 1 that I believe is good enough to offer the Liebling and Burke girl. Plus clothing is still really frustrating. I want to have the best pieces to offer girls.

In Feb Rachel and I are traveling to Palm Springs for our friends wedding. I will get to see my friends who I miss dearly, and spend the weekend in Palm Springs. We will definitely be needing that by Feb since were expecting a massive snow storm to hit NYC tomorrow.

Now I am off to the thrift store to search for an outfit to wear for the wedding.

Thank the universe for good friends! My bff JESS put this little get away together for us at The Ace in Palm Springs. It really is one of my favorite places to be. We hung out and swam and talked and had cocktails and swam some more. I love spending time with my close friends. I totally realize how lucky I am to have so many amazing women in my life, and I tell them so on a regular basis. I can't wait for our next trip!

STRIPES STRIPES STRIPES

In my opinion stripes are definitely a neutral, and I seriously can't have enough! After black, stripes are always my go to! You can seriously wear them with anything. I love this shirt because it looks so great with a pair of black skinnies and booties, or as a dress with sneakers!
