2011: A Look Back

Our catalog team traveled around the world…

…and us bloggers got to go to our shoot with Sasha Pivovarova in NYC – definitely a highlight of the year!

We worked with so many beautiful models…

We debuted FP Spun and Vegan Leather, and launched a special line of Limited Edition Dresses! We celebrated with pop-up shops in NY and LA, where Jade Castrinos performed at our store.

We fell hard for extreme flares, monochromatic dressing, birkenstocks, turbans, sweater dressing, fancy collars, western boots, friendship bracelets and bright nails, flatforms, mixed prints, color pops, polka dots and more…

We were influenced by decades past…

…and by trends like mod and grunge.

We brought you festival coverage from Pitchfork and Outside Lands…

We shot our July catalog with Alexandra Valenti and the Happen-Ins, and we had such a great time we went back and threw a party to celebrate the catalog release! We also threw a party at our 5^th ave store for Fashion’s Night Out and had a blast.

We made so many lovely blogger friends!

Many crafts were made, and we held our first crafting events in Cambridge and NYC!

And, some new furry faces popped up in the office :)

2011 was a good year :) Here’s to making the next one even better!

Happy New Year!

xoxo
