Lauren, a stylist from Free People 5th Ave and new friend, met me on the sands of a cold New York beach earlier this week to model new pieces from our latest collection and to help tell this story. Just imagine…
Washed Buttondown Tunic, Mineral Wash Oversize Scarf
Her heart is light, yet wild. Her eyes are filled with curiosity, but are as soft as the morning dew. Her skin is lightly dusted with freckles from days spent under the sun. She throws on her most-worn shirt and sets off to wander the beach on this cool winter morning. The sand feels chilly beneath her bare feet. She prefers the beach during the winter — no one for miles — aimlessly wandering from seashell to seashell. The wind is cold against her face and tangles her long hair; looking up, she tries to find where the dull winter sea meets the grey winter sky, the colors beautifully muted this time of year. The sand, sea and sky all seem to blend. She finds herself lost in her thoughts as she stares off at the horizon; she reminisces about times-past at this same beach, but slowly her mind starts to dream up ideas for the future: where she might travel, whom she may meet, what she may learn.
A smile starts to grow across her rosy pink cheeks at the thought of a new adventure. Yes, the colors are beautifully muted this time of year…

I love how minimalistic this is. It still has the boho vibe but not a lot of layering, definitely going to try and incorporate into my style.
