it reminds me of the video projected onto the lobby floor of the 21C Museum Hotel in Louisville, one of the coolest hotels around.

Inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s Eau de Voilette and starring Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman, this short art film is an advertisement for a ficitional perfume and sure to be beautiful and interesting. If that doesn’t already get you thinking, the film is directed by Roman Polanski and was conceived by Francesco Vezzoli. I can’t wait for the online screening on February 6th on Dazed Digital.
Head over to Dazed now for the trailer, and then mark your calendar for the 6th!

I like form fitted outfits to show off curves.

The tunic top layered with a tank, leggings, short boots and a cool belt to finish it off! A long locket necklace would be a great addtion to this look.

I love the look of a lacey tunic mixed up with some plain old long and lean jeans. A pair of converse doesn’t hurt either.

Featured Reviewer – Cristina!
January 27th, 2009 / Posted by fpgirl / PermalinkMeet our friend Cristina!
Cristina is from Ft. Myers Beach, Florida, and she is one of the star item reviewers on our website, under the name beachcat! Cristina is a total Free People girl- she spends lots of time outside on the beach, boating and being with friends!
We did a little Q&A session with Cristina, and we found out some quite fun stuff!
What do you do for a living?
I own a charter and tour boat company with my husband, Good Time Charters! We do marine life kayak adventures, shelling cruises, dolphin wildlife cruises, fishing charters, and more! I also enjoy waiting tables part time.
What draws you to the Free People aesthetic?
I like the the unique prints, the embroidery, and the small details of the clothing!
What is your favorite article of Free People clothing?
I have so many! My favorites so far include the Yuca and Mayan sun dresses, and the Watercolor Stitches dress. I love dresses!
Do you have any pets?
I have three cats- 6, 9, and 12 yrs old. Two were abandoned by their previous owners and needed a new home- the other was dropped off at my vet’s office as a kitten.
I also have an Australian Blue-tongued skink that needed a home!
What inspires you?
Sounds of tree leaves rustling in the wind. Music. Warmth from the sun. Meeting good people.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I relax and day dream about my next vacation! I also enjoy boating with my husband and spending time with friends.
What do you like best about where you live?
It is a small island, I feel safe here, I can walk a couple minutes from my front door and go for a swim in the Gulf of Mexico.
The upcoming Valentine’s Day in mind, what would be your perfect date?
Being a tour guide and a waitress, I am always catering to someone else. While I love taking care of others, I would enjoy letting someone take care of me for a change! I would love a catered dinner on the beach with my husband, where we can talk and laugh without worry!
Thank you so much for sharing all this with us Cristina! It’s been a pleasure! Plus, now I know what a skink is!
And of course, thank you so much for all your feedback and reviews! ;) We have appreciated them time and time again!

I did not know what a skink was either! His blue tongue looks sort of like Rodge’s!

Hi there! I signed up a while back and haven’t gotten a person yet; when does that happen? Thank you!
Hey guys! So good news! Megan, who works on the Direct Marketing Team, mentioned that our sister brand Anthropologie is selling a very similar style of silverware! I checked it out and it’s really cute too! See it here: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=3914138893027712401&id=78110&parentid=EAT_TABLE_UTENSILS&pushId=EAT_TABLE_UTENSILS&popId=EAT_TABLETOP&sortProperties=&navCount=7&navAction=poppushpush&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=sil
Aww I’m sorry guys! I’m not very proficient in French myself!
I only put that site up with the silverware because it is the company that makes it, and it was the only site I could find that related to the silverware!
I searched when making the post, but alas, no websites with any helpful information about the silverware, or really even mentioning the silverware at all! I wish I could help you find a set or an English website! If you guys find one, please post it!
Also, Google has a translator that you can use on websites, if anyone felt like trying it on the silverware’s website…
Good luck!

It made me rather sad when I hopped on the website & couldn’t understand a word on the page : (
