liberty of london
I went to Target today and just about cried thanks to the beautiful things I found. Liberty of London is a new brand to have hit the shelves, and they couldn’t have come at a worse time for me. Yes, I am broke.
Anyway, for any Simmer who loves colourful, girly prints and shabby-chic influences, this is the sim brand for real life. They have everything is a small selection of prints from clothing (across the board – kids, men and women) as well as home furnishings, dishes, even bikes – YES, as in bicycles! I went nuts, obviously and I really hope they keep this stuff stocked for months because it will be at least two until I can afford to just go buy half of it.
I am really excited about a few things to start, but of course I want everything. The pillows for instance, are absolutely gorgeous and they have piggy banks with the multiple prints on them, but cut out from the whole print. They have boxes, picture frames, and lamp shades. The colours provide for a ton of opportunity to mix patterns and bring out the colours you favour as well as more use of white which seems to be popular lately as Simmers create houses that are meant to spread light into the home.
They have chairs that are really awesome in this print – very simple, much like one custom content chair I’ve seen for Sims 3 but I cannot remember where from. You absolutely have to check out the dining stuff – they have platters, plates, bowls, cups and glasses, even tea pots!
The clothes are great as well. For men, they only have a few shirts available but they also have wonderful ties and as a last resort to make your man wear what you like but not be embarrassed, they also have boxers! For women they have dresses and jumpsuits, really pretty ruffled tops, bathing suits (my boyfriend’s sister got the gorgeous black and white one piece) and pull-overs, pajamas and underwear.
They also have flip flops and galoshes, purses and scarves. I wish they had jewelry as well, I would think that it would be very fun to see what they would match with their clothes. This is developing a whole new sense of inspiration in designing. I finally got my computer back yesterday and all ready got on last night for a few hours. All ready I have a house set up and am trying to furnish it, but I might end up scrapping it from something smaller. We shall see. Or I will – you will have to wait, as I will not have internet for a month still, or more, unless something happens to change that. : )
