I have always felt a strong connection to the color white. I incorporate as many shades of this pure color into my home décor and personal style as I possibly can. When I first caught wind of The White Shop on our site, I almost felt a wave of calm come over me. Read More

It used to be that I kept all of my jewelry in one spot in my bedroom. All my necklaces and bracelets were hung on a little white jewelry stand, and my rings were in a silver dish next to them. But in recent months I’ve begun to display my jewelry throughout my house, incorporating it into my décor. I think this breathes new life into the jewelry, and it always makes me feel like I’m living a story every time I take a piece off or put one on. Read More
As soon as that first true spring day hits – the day when I’m awoken by the sound of birds and bright sunlight streaming through my curtains – I start getting really excited about sunglasses. I’ve always felt that sunglasses have the ability to elevate any outfit for a cooler, more pulled-together look. To get the most out of your sunnies, it helps to realize that certain sunglasses are more flattering on certain people. Read More
I’ve always had a thing for adorable bird-related décor, so when spring comes, it’s all about Easter eggs for me. I’ve been seeing egg message DIYs all over the internet for months, and I’ve been dying to make my own, so I’m so happy that spring is finally on its way! Read More
We are huge layering fans here at Free People, and it’s rare that I go a day without having some sort of layered component in what I’m wearing. A while back we posted about how to create the ultimate layered outfit, and got some requests for more, so today I wanted to create a slightly simpler outfit in terms of layers — but one with mixed prints.

Ever since we’re tiny little humans, we’re given advice on a regular basis. Some of it we take, some of it we don’t. Some advice we wish we’d taken, while some we really wish we hadn’t. But of all the tidbits of advice we receive in our lives, there are some that just stick with us. Read More
Lately I’ve found myself getting caught up looking at our incredible swim collection online, just wishing and wishing for warmer weather. From the fun fringe and crochet styles to the striking patterns, I keep thinking to myself “but I want to wear these NOW.” And then I had a little realization. Read More
I find it mesmerizing that specific colors can be so strongly connected to certain emotions or ideas. This week’s trend on our site is called Purple Haze, and with Amethyst as February’s birthstone, it seems there would be no better a time for such a trend. Purple is the color of magic and mystery. It has the ability to lift your spirits while simultaneously calming your mind. Loving the color purple says a lot about you. If you feel a strong fondness toward the color purple, it’s probably also true that… Read More
I’ve always been a houseplant lover. I love the energy they bring into a home and how a plant-filled room has the ability to make you forget you’re even inside. The only problem I have with houseplants is that I physically cannot keep them alive. Even the ones that are supposed to be un-killable, like aloe. I killed an aloe plant, and it makes me sad to think about it. Read More
We all have a to-do list. Whether it’s stored in our phones, scribbled on paper, or floating around in our minds, there’s always a list of things that we have to (and don’t want to) do. Sometimes it’s filled with big, time-consuming projects like “organize entire house,” and sometimes it’s the tiny little things like “write rent check.” Regardless of the size of the task, a to-do list always seems to be filled with things that we just don’t really feel like doing – obligations.
