Office Style: Cozy Prints
We love prints all year ’round, but this week we were in love with cozy prints in lovely lilac tones worn with leather jackets, ankle boots, casual pants, and pretty dresses. Oh… and not forgetting printed accessories to add a pattern to an outfit.
Book Club Meeting: The Power Of Now
Chapter 3 of The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle is titled “Moving deeply into the Now.” In it, Tolle goes into further detail about the importance of the Now and how to remain present. As much as I’ve found the book incredibly enlightening so far, I’ll admit that I still didn’t feel that moment of being purely present that he keeps talking about – until now. I don’t know if it was this latest chapter that helped me or reading the book overall but it was a wonderful moment – I’ll explain how it happened below :). Read More

It’s a new year and a time when people are starting to work out, maybe due to a New Year’s resolution or just because they want to start a new year fresh with a clear mind. I know many of us here at Free People are doing this, whether it’s yoga, running, or other fun activities that involves fitness. Read More

Cute Getaway Sandals
We love the feeling that sandals bring to us, the freedom to wiggle your toes in the open air, the warmth of the sun shining down on them and the coolness that rain drops bring during sun showers. They are easy to pack in your suitcase if you’re heading away on vacation and they go with almost every single outfit. They are easy and free. Read More
Photo Tour: Finding Calm & Inspiration At A Yoga Studio
Those who practice yoga know that, while regular practice will help to strengthen and lengthen your body tremendously, the physical component is just a fraction of what it’s all about. Yoga is a mental and spiritual practice, and in order to truly feel that connection, it seems that it is best when practiced in a calming environment; an environment that reminds you of where you came from – one that feels like nature.

A Perfect Getaway: Amansala Eco Chic Resort

Eco Dyeing With Flowers: Part 2, The Results!
It’s time to share the results from last week’s eco dyeing experiment! I can’t stress how much I enjoyed this project…it is something I am excited to practice at and do more of. We left off last week with the steaming – I steamed my bundles for an hour and then let them sit in plastic bags overnight to try and let the colors steep a bit more. As for the results…I have both good news and bad news. Read More
