Thursday Poll: Hung Up on Prints Collection

October 27th, 2011 / Posted by fp naomi / Permalink

One day while I was walking back from getting lunch, an adorable little clothesline caught my eye. A collection of printed bras hung all in a row, fastened by wooden clothespins and swaying in the wind. A bit later the scene was up on our site as the gateway for our “Hung Up on Prints” collection of printed bras. The assortment is out of this world. I almost want to buy one of each and recreate the scene in my bedroom.

Holiday Book Sneak Peek: Free People Through the Decades

October 27th, 2011 / Posted by fp julia / Permalink

I am beyond excited about this year’s holiday book and today I can finally give you a sneak peek! This year we decided to pay homage to the fashion of bygone decades that still influences us today.  We traveled back in time to Paris in the 1920s, America in the 1950s and Morocco in the 1970s before finishing up with the Modern Girl, a girl who mixes her favorite trends from the past with her vision of the future.

    You guys working for Free People realize that almost everything you list under your description of the 1970s actually occurred in the 60s, right? As in, the summer of love was 1967 and The Beatles broke up in 1970. Haight-Ashbury was a hip thoroughfare in the mid-1960s as well. Pretty egregious error for a company branding itself as representative of the hippie attitude.

    This post is the exact reason why I need to be part of the free people gang! Not only do I have a world map hanging on my wall as well, I also have all the spots I want to travel marked with a pin!

My Mod Wall

October 26th, 2011 / Posted by fp naomi / Permalink

untitled My Mod Wall

You all saw Julia’s mod inspiration yesterday, and now here’s a peak into what mod means to me. I chose the image above because I love the outfit’s chic ladylike look. She’s sophisticated, but creative, and everyone wants a look into her world.

Picture 002e My Mod Wall

Boucle Textured Jacket, Polka Dot Blouse, Thermal Shortie, and Leigh Platform Ankle Boot

Picnik collage13 My Mod Wall

Housewares: Clock. This clock is so modern with its clean lines and stark contrasts. I can’t help but think back to the days of mod. Its roundness also mirrors the polka dots in her blouse.

Hobbie: Painting. When I think of the mod days Andy Warhol pops into my head. I think this was an extremely creative time, and I picture our girl in a studio apartment, inspired by Warhol and painting away.

The muse: My grandmother. This is a photo that I stole from one of my grandparents many photo albums. The pages are packed with my grandma in retro clothing, always maintaining herself in a feminine and proper way. The highly styled hair, the blouses, and especially the coats all remind me of the mod image.

Animal: Zebra. Wild souls that have never been tamed…they run free as a bold contrast throughout their environment. The mod woman is attracted to their vivacity, and can’t help but love that pattern…

The Scent: Miss Dior Cherie. The bottle is so prim and proper, but the scent inside is kind of funky. I picture this girl having the bottle sitting on her vanity as she gets ready each morning.

DIY: Fancy Collars

October 26th, 2011 / Posted by fp jemma / Permalink

Shirts seem to be a trend everyone is diving into right now, including me.  That preppy school girl is becoming cool again but there seems to be a twist. I’m seeing people buttoning their shirts right up to the top so the collar becomes a feature (see blog post here) and they’re not scared to get adventurous with it either. So here we’ve made our very own DIY where we’ve made the collar a little more decorative!

What you will need;

photo DIY: Fancy Collars

Measure the length of the collar and cut trim to size

photo5 DIY: Fancy Collars

Sew the trim around the collar

 Then style as you wish, we love it under cropped sweaters

And here’s a little idea to jazz a shirt up a little for holiday season; buy some iron diamond, decorate the edges and shine on!

Rings worn in photos are the asymmetric stone ring and the crystal wave ring
