FP Limited Edition Dresses: Coming in 3 Days!
Trend Spotting: 1920’s Je t’aime Pari
If I had a time machine I would go back to the Birth of Bohemian Paris Just like Gil (Owen Wilson) did in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.
Reeling from the folly of World War I, Paris was the centre of the artistic universe then. Bohemians were exquisite and romantic – it was an elegant soiree, with artists and writers holding a passion that was so intense it created magic. 1920’s Paris is my era of love. I would trade anything to go back and spend some time with Surrealists in Montparnasse!

I *love* this look of a fancy dress toned down with a plaid shirt – definitely something I’ll try this holiday season…
Oh what I would give to spend this weekend dancing down cobblestone streets in the moonlight, spinning on carousels and hanging out in dimly lit Parisian cafes…

Office Style
Things felt pretty relaxed around the office today. I spotted some great patterns amongst the dressed down looks. Two ensembles roped in leather bottoms to spice up a normal sweater combo. And, as usual…we can’t stop with the shorts/tights combo – it’s just too comfortable and too good. One thing is for sure – we know how to do comfortable yet stylish, and here are my favorite looks that did just that today.
Check out the trims in this blouse. They remind me of friendship bracelets. What a great unexpected touch…
The Shrunken Stripe Pullover is a never fail. It always looks so comfortable and cute.
Get this look easily with one of our maxi sweaters and the vegan leather shorts
she made this jacket herself – diy anyone??
Thursday Poll: November Catalog
For this month’s catalog we celebrated fashion inspiration from decades past and present – moving through the 20’s, 50’s, and 70’s to current day. There’s so much to love about this book, and each decade truly has its own spirit and style. Now it’s time to vote: which decade did you enjoy the most?

Store Style: Best Dressed
We’ve got party dresses on the brain! And with so many great options to choose from, finding that perfect dress is no problem – but picking just one might be! To help, we turned to our stylish New York fp girls to tell us which dresses they love most this season and how they’d style them.
The Miles of Lace Dress is one of our absolute favorites this season – I love how it looks paired with the ruffle leggings!! This dress is incredibly versatile – wear it to something more casual by paring it with a floppy hat, fringe bag, and fur vest. Add some fun accessories like the arrow feather hair clip and a fringe necklace. If you’re going somewhere a bit dressier, try pairing it with a velvet blazer, black platforms and a turban!
The Gold Rush Knit Dress is one of my favorites – I love the colors and the texture. Dress it down with tights, knee socks and tall boots, with a maxi cardigan or robe like the moon duster maxi over top. Or, go for a dressier look with tights, studded ankle boots, the vegan leather jacket and dripped chain headpiece.
I love this look! Pair the vegan leather dress with a button down shirt or cardigan and some cute shoes.
This is such a cute combination! The Crochet and Lace Sweater Dress worn with the Bamboo Stripes Crop Top, Boucle Textured Jacket and Saffi Lace-Up Boot.
The beautiful Show Pony Dress, worn with tights, boots and accentuated with turquoise rings.
The Show Pony Dress again, worn with the Almond Suede Wedge, Floppy Hat, Variety Rib Cardigan, Embroidered Midtown Jacket and Ihamana Scarf.
For a cool rock ‘n’ roll look, pair the Gold Rush Dress with a Plaid Button Down, the Vegan Leather Jacket, Scarf, Darla Platform and Clutch.
A cute casual look: the FP Beach Mitered Maxi, Margarita Textured Scarf and Denim Jacket.
Dress up the same maxi by wearing a cute cami over top!
Thanks for all the great styling ideas, ladies!!

Once…the Countdown Begins
Pssst… In one week we are launching a collection of limited edition dresses that consists of six magical gowns dreamed up and hand crafted by the lead designers at Free People.
We will be launching the dresses with pop-up shops that will appear in our Brentwood and 5th Avenue stores on November 10th for a special three-day viewing experience that will leave you with sparkles in your eyes. But don’t worry if you don’t live in NY or LA because they’ll be online for you all to see a week from today!
Each day until then, I will share a special sneak peek of each dress, with one word that each designer chose to describe it, before we reveal the final pieces.

Once…
A girl became a star, and for the night she shone the brightest light,
She became a magical attraction that was breathtaking.
A shooting star that will never be forgotten.

Paris in the 1920s: Behind the Scenes
Paris was the perfect setting to capture the fashion of the 1920s for our Through the Decades holiday catalog. The grayish light and romantic architecture created a dreamy backdrop to the 1920s styling worn by Elsa Hosk and sisters Zuzanna and Julia Bijoch.
Here’s a peek behind the scenes thanks to Thomas Northcut!
The FP crew – such a stylish group of gals!

Details: Hair Style
I always find so much hair inspiration here in the office – we have girls who are experts at perfecting their ‘do. It’s funny though, I think about half of the girls whose hair I took a photo of said they were having a bad hair day – but I think they all look awesome! That’s what is so great about things like hats, turbans, twists and cute little buns on top of your head – you may think you’re having a bad hair day but to everyone else you look completely put together and fashionable.
The Zigzag Turban is quite the trend today!
(I’ve got my eye on this adorable new head wrap – so perfect for the holidays!)
Check out all of our hats and hair accessories.

Style File:Designer
This lovely lady with romantic style is a designer here at Free People. Beautiful wrap dresses and flowing chiffon paired with her head of fiery red curls give off an almost Victorian feeling. She puts an updated twist on the classically beautiful elements with leather leggings, boho wedges, and playful nail art. A master of prints, you’ll often catch this designer in a statement pattern that is to die.
Some Halloween fun :)
