Don’t Forget! Today is your last chance to enter our Leap Day Giveaway! We’ll pick a winner at the end of the day, 2/29 :)
We wanted to do something special to celebrate this rare occasion, so we did a little bit of spring cleaning in our accessories department and scrounged up some awesome stuff to give away. I organized the accessories into goodie bags for each fp girl – meaning we’ll have five winners!
All you have to do is click here and fill out the brief form, and tell us which fp girl you are.
My original plan for this post was to take photos of boho details to go along with our hippie hippie shake trend -but as I sat in a meeting with most of our office this morning, I kept noticing pops of neon everywhere I looked. Our office was buzzing today with lemon, lime and hot pinks – this is clearly a trend we are all embracing. Read More
The brand was founded by Australian art director and stylist duo Melanie Kamsler and Tamila Purvis, two talented women who met while working at RUSSH magazine. Drawing on inspiration from old and new – ancient historical figures, artists, muses and cult musicians – they create pieces that are sculptural and heavy with mysticism. Read More

On Thursday the 24th I started my day at the C’N’C show. I couldn’t stop backstage to say hi and congrats to my friend Umbe, who is a women’s designer, because I had to run to Iceberg.
At Iceberg, Paolo Gerani brought to the catwalk double breasted coats and blazers, leather pants, furs and a touch of electric blue.
At 4:30 pm it was time for Blumarine, which surprised everyone with silver accessories combined with metallic, iridescent, and hologram pieces. The soundtrack by Azealia Banks and Mia gave the show an extra edge.
Next I attended a cocktail exhibition at the Mauro Grifoni store in Via Della Spiga: “Bizarre, Colorquake, Flamboyant, Personalities, Allure”, a special preview of Diana Vreeland curated by Maria Luisa Frisa and Judith Clark.
Right after, we went to Corso Como 10 for the i-D and Alberto Guardiani Party, hosted by Marcelo Burlon. At one point, you simply have to eat, and that is exactly what we did… a relaxed dinner with friends: perfect conclusion to my day.
Friday the 25th began with Mila Schon at 11.30. My true compliments to Biancamaria Gervasio, the young designer behind the brand. I fell in love with every single piece of the collection.
Afterwards I had a quick lunch break with Grazia Team at Cafe Verger (I love this place http://verger.it/ )
After lunch was the Jil Sander show – Raf Simon’s last show with the brand was just perfect. Simply, classy and elegant; I would love to have all the coats.
Ter Et Bantine was the last of the day, at least for me. Casual and concise are the keywords for this refined brand who chose eccentric hats to personalize the silhouette.
Lime... fresh and full of spirit, it brightens up the room like a burst of citrus and brings with it a sense of anticipation of all the possibilities the world offers. It opens us up to perception and inspires us to try new things by initiating change.
Items pictured: Pom Pom Sliders, Brazilian Bandeau, Reverse it Kachow Thermal, Lizzie Stone Ring, Feather Tie Belt, Desert Dream Tank, Beach Cruiser Shorts, Hazy Days Long Sleeve Top, Atlantic Neon Rope Bracelet, Dahl Court Tie Bracelet, Neon Spacedye Boot Sock.
Spring can’t come soon enough, and in our stores all across the country we’re getting ready for it with head to toe pastels. Check out these beautiful fp girls rocking the pastel trend for some styling inspiration!
Lace is a trend we still can’t get over. It had a strong presence last summer and this year it’s back after Valentino, Elie Saab and Miu Miu all brought innovation into the mix with over sized reworks, eyelet patterns, and the cool awkward cute look.

If you’re like me, love lace and bought into this trend last year, but don’t like to wear head to toe pretty, here are a few tips on how to refresh your lacey numbers. Layer your lace with a bright color pop of Neon! A bright neon vest or swimsuit under a lacey dress to give it a little more energy and then finish it off with one statement bracelet
Milan Fashion Week is underway and we have the lovely Silvia Bergomi documenting the action for us! Check out her recap and photo diary below.

One of the best things about February Fashion Week in Milan is that often it coincides with the coming of Spring… You start to see colorful and floral looks, and it seems that everybody allows themselves to be more relaxed.
As a good start, on Wednesday I went to Numèro 21 show, which is actually one of my favourite brands.
Right after, I was invited to the opening of the first Vionnet shop in corso Monforte.
Around 8.30 pm I had dinner at Palazzo Visconti, followed by a party hosted by Elisabetta Franchi. The music coming from Dj Seth Troxler and Marcelo Burlon was totally fascinating. We closed the dancefloor with a special song in memory of Whitney.
As usual, we ended the night with a goodnight drink at the bar Hotel Principe di Savoia.
Thursday started with Fendi, which brought amazing shapes to the catwalk based on furs and knee-length skirts.
After Fendi, I went to have a quick look at the new Fausto Puglisi AW collection. Leather, studs, embroidery, rhinestones, but also optical patterns and fluorescent colors: all this together was really photogenic.
After a quick lunch at Grazia Pop Up, I had chat-tea with my friends from Dead Meat. They were presenting their new collection, which is based on the figures of princesses like Maria Callas and Romy Schneider. Graphics are as always full of imaginative and literary references.
At 5 pm was the start of Jo No Fui, with the amazing Arizona Muse and a special attention to color combination.
At 8 pm I ended the day at the launch cocktail party of unFLOP paper 3; they also presented a Short Film by Silvia Morani and an exclusive art cover plus vinyl by artist Simon Fujiwara.
By now you guys are probably familiar with the youtube phenomenon “Sh*t Girls Say” …well we got such a kick out of it, we had to make our own version about the crazy sh*t us fp girls say. Read More
For this week’s office style we caught hints of FP girl, Candy, around the office. She appears sweet as nectar – a woman as intricate as lace. Candy twirls in frilly dresses, and buttons up with lace. She’s a true lady who embraces her femininity. Don’t let all of the sweetness fool you, Candy is just as modern as the rest. Mixing in hints of neon, throwing on denim vests, and piling on rings are just some of the ways she’s keeping the fashion current.
