free people 5th ave in new york is teaming up with the salvation army for a clothing drive on saturday – stop by and help them out in their efforts to provide our neighbors in haiti with food and supplies during this difficult time. stop by the store anytime between 10am – 9pm!
don’t know what to bring? think light jackets, shoes, socks, t-shirts, anything light and packable!
for this week’s office style, we’re checking out the day to day looks of one of our most fashionable ladies :)
some photos of our team setting up the new store at space 15 twenty!
and the storefront:
looks like a beautiful day in los angeles! check out space 15 twenty’s blog here.

j.d. salinger, author of my favorite book of all time, passed away yesterday at age 91.
we’re very excited to be opening a new store at space 15 twenty in los angeles!
if you’re not familiar with space 15 twenty, its a unique retail setting where each store is connected by an outdoor courtyard, and includes a performance space for live music, an art gallery, and a monthly pop up shop.
stop by tomorrow for the grand opening party, with food, drinks, and vintage vinyl spun by dj dez!

after today’s DIY post, an fp girl here at the home office showed me a project she did, also involving butterflies. at first glance, it’s a normal book…
…but then you open it:
isn’t that amazing? she cut out the inside and created this beautiful little scene. i love it!
another new feature on the blog!
“fp loves” will take a look at an item we’re really excited about and get word from the buyer on why they love it so much! first up: the beryll vintage artisan asphalt boots… hand-distressed from restored leather sourced from the 60’s and 70s.
and, it turns out vogue italia loves the beryll boots too! they were featured in the cover story, shot by steven miesel, for the january 2010 issue!
the beryll boots are available on our website, here.
lately i’ve really been loving the work of scotland-based artist fiona watson, using feathers, flowers, and other found items…
these are from her series called “an unwritten book”
“i used to be a scientist but have always been an artist.” – fiona watson
the feathers and wishbones are so awesome. check out more of her beautiful work on her flickr page or website.
good morning! with today being tunesday, i thought i’d share some videos from la blogotheque. if you’re not familiar with the site, you should definitely check it out. it’s a french site that features new videos each week of an acoustic performance by an artist or group in the street, at a bar, in a park, or any random place in the city. the videos are really amazing…check out these performances by bon iver and phoenix:
Bon Iver – Flume – Une soiree de Poche from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
Phoenix – 1901 – A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
check out more of the videos here.
the final batch of photos from prague…
hope you all enjoyed our glimpse into prague this month!
many thanks to our producer for taking so many awesome photos :)
so if you’re a fan of free people on facebook, you probably know about a little thing we’ve been doing called “fp me,” where we asked our fans to submit photos of themselves in a free people inspired look. we then randomly selected one each day to be our profile picture for the day. well we got some amazing photos! here are just a few of our beautiful fans…
