Walnut Street Wall

January 27th, 2012 / Posted by fp julia / Permalink

I took so many photos of this one wall in our Philly store, I felt like I needed to give it its own post.  There was so much to look at, it took my breath away.  Artwork, potted plants, memorabilia from around the world had my eyes darting back and forth, snapping away with my camera trying to capture it all. One of the coolest parts? Some of the artwork is actually for sale!

Over the past few weeks, I have had the pleasure of seeing many of your love letters come through via email and snail mail – they have brought a smile to my face every day and we’re so grateful you shared them with us! Our visual display team compiled all of your submissions and created some amazing installations for our Philly store.  When I saw them, I had a hard time tearing my eyes away from all of your touching words, photos and artistic creations. Thank you all so much – its a beautiful thing to have your personal touch in our store!

    You have no idea how badly I have been looking for a room divided with fabric back and foam and all where I can stick stuff up with tac. I couldn’t find anything. I wish I could make one for myself, but I’m no good with DIY things. AT least I can’t do it unless I know how to do it. Any way you could share where to get something like this or at least how to make something like this?

Free People Walnut Street Opening

January 27th, 2012 / Posted by fp julia / Permalink

Yesterday I left work around 5pm to head to our brand new store on Walnut Street in Philadelphia.  We were having a private celebration for home office employees, family and friends before the doors officially opened this morning. From the moment I walked through the carved wooden door, I felt like I was in a very special place.  If you live in the area, I definitely recommend making the trip to see the store in person – but if not, I hope these photos can do it some justice!

The upstairs fitting room area is cozy and tranquil – I literally could live here. The fitting rooms were painted by five of our amazing fp girls, who made them truly special and unique.

Office Style: Shorts vs. Dresses

January 26th, 2012 / Posted by fp naomi / Permalink

We’re getting sick of pants. All winter long its pants, pants, pants. Now, in the name of fashion, we’re rebelling. We’re pulling on tights for an extra layer, and getting out stowed away shorts, skirts and dresses. For the last week in January “vs.” office style, I want to know – which winter rebellion look do you like best? It’s the shorts vs. the dresses….
