Whenever I like certain clothing items, I like to create a mood board around them to create a story and a feel that will help me when I’m trying to style myself. I choose fashion photos that have emotions or attitude in them and then I start adding my items to the board. It’s a great way to get inspired to create looks, or if you want to try out a new trend for a new season make a fashion mood board and it will help you. Read More

British Sayings We Love
One of the things I miss about home is the funny British sayings. Here at Free People I get a lot of people confused when things like “I’m just going to pop over”, “He’s full of beans”, “I had to scarper”, and “you’re off your trolley” slip out of my mouth. I forget that they have no idea what I’m talking about, it makes me giggle slightly and them, too. There’s a certain amount of humor in the British sayings that make me like them a lot more; they’re a little cheeky, maybe it’s the twist of cockney in them that makes them that slightly more intriguing and puzzle-like.

Which FP Girl Are You?
My style always varies I jump from being girlie, to a more tomboy look all the time depending on the mood I’m in. I think your style says a lot about your personality, your lifestyle and the way you think. You can change the way you dress accordingly to fit your mood but I always find no matter what look you choose, you always have that one style trait that you can never get rid of. I find I always have a slightly bohemian look even if I choose to go all out relaxed and, I think that’s because of the personality I have. Read More

Trend We Love: Khaki Touches
This spring, utility and khaki are on our minds… that effortless, casual-cool look. We love the idea of teaming pretty tops with khaki bottoms like Victorian blouses or floral camis, and then adding some attitude boots. It creates a perfect balance of boy/girl and a perfect look to wear on those sunny spring days when all you want to do is be outside riding your bike, sitting in the park, or going on hikes.

A Photo Diary From LA
The streets of LA smell like jasmine, it’s true! Every morning when we left The Chamberlain, our senses were woken by sweet flowering scents making us drift happily through the West Hollywood hills.

And I… I was there to photograph our lovely Beach Designer at her Echo Park cottage and to hunt down street style at the famous Rosebowl Flea Market.
