Every week here at the Free People office we test out new ways to make fun nail art, but first we gathered an essential nail kit to suit our needs – because we all know it can be quite messy. Inside our nail kit you’ll find: Read More

Eye Candy: Illustrations By Luci Everett
Don’t you love it when you find an artist whose work is so perfectly in tune with your personal aesthetic? When I discovered Luci Everett I saved literally every image on her Tumblr in my inspiration folder. I absolutely love the delicacy of her work and incorporation of nature, and the way she formats her illustrations like little collages. A lot of it would make really amazing stationary, too! It is such beautiful eye candy – I hope you love it, too. :) Read More
How We Wear The Johnny Tall Boot
UPDATE: This post previously ran on August 9th but as Fall is coming closer and closer we thought we’d give you some inspiration on wearing boots.
As we transition from summer to fall, boots are on our mind. We have an itch to start wearing them with our summer staples. Whether it’s knee-high or ankle boots, we love the idea of teaming them with our maxi skirts and denim cutoffs. Read More

Store Opening: Our 2nd Store In Canada Opens In Calgary Tomorrow!

How To Hand Paint Antique Silverware
I love having an eclectic kitchen. When I buy plates, bowls, glasses, and silverware, I usually only buy one of each piece (which is easy enough if you’re getting it all from a thrift store!) – I love being able to mix everything up, with no two pieces the same. Read More
Poll: Dresses For Now And Later
Everyone needs a dress they love. Right now we are obsessed with dresses that we can wear now and carry into fall. We love making the most of our sweet dresses by wearing them from the summer months with sandals and then teaming them with tights when the colder days arrive. Read More
September Catalog Sneak Peek: Who’s That Girl?
Our September catalog was shot by Guy Aroch, who captures model Martha Hunt on the streets of London in a paparazzi-inspired style. Based around the concept of the modern “it girl” whose every move is documented, Martha dodges the camera as she does everyday things like taking out the trash and going to yoga, working on set and going out at night with her boyfriend, played by model Danny Fox. We love this book and the story it tells, and can’t wait for it to drop on Tuesday along with our new site for Free People UK! Here’s a sneak peek. :) Read More
