We just relaunched the shoe shop on our site, and there are some beautiful fall boots that I have my eye on right now. It’s almost 100 degrees outside in Philly, but that’ll never stop me from busting out a pair of ankle boots. Read More
5 Reasons To Give More Hugs
To me, there’s no greater feeling than the one you get from a good, long hung; the kind of hug that makes you hold on tight until you let out a giant exhale; the kind of hug that makes you feel happy, safe, and secure. Read More
Office Style: Long Lengths
There’s something about wearing a long dress that is so soft and feminine. I don’t normally wear maxi dresses, but if I wake up and feel like dressing girly, that is the first thing I gravitate towards. I really like how easy they are to throw on, too. A long dress is one of those pieces that don’t need much extra effort in styling to look good; the dress speaks for itself most of the time. This week, I was loving some of the dresses the girls were wearing around the office. Read More

Recycled Book Keepsake
Growing up, I was never really one to keep a diary or journal. My mom would always buy me blank notebooks, but I would use those to sketch or doodle instead of writing down my secrets. Over the years, I have acquired many sketchbooks and I have stored away many drawings in all of them. They all seem to be in different places though — some are back at my childhood home in Florida, a few are at the foot of my bed, and then there are the random ones that I find in old purses or in my car. Each time I find one, I look back through it and get inspired by my past sketches. Read More
Trend Alert: Delicate Rings
For a while I was all about the big, chunky rings — changing them up depending on my mood, or piling them on to make a statement. Lately, though, I’ve been wearing the same thin, delicate rings on a daily basis. It makes sense this time of year when you just don’t want any extra weight on your body! Read More

Short Hair Styling Tips From FP Girls
I have long hair but in the summertime I’m always tempted to chop it off…in this heat, shorter locks seem so much lighter and cooler. The last time I cut my hair short was years ago and I never knew how to style it, so I’ve kept it long ever since.

It seemed like the perfect time to get some styling tips from our home office girls who rock the shorter hair — those of you with short hair, share your tips in the comments! Read More
Best Foot Forward: Find Your Perfect Pair Of Shoes & Socks
This week we are relaunching our shoe shop with an incredible selection of shoes for fall — and you can’t have shoes without socks! I think socks are one of my favorite articles of clothing… there’s nothing better than a brand new, incredibly soft, cushion-y pair of socks that makes you feel like you’re walking on a cloud. I never used to think much about styling different socks and shoes, but finding that perfect match can really make an outfit come together. Read More
What Your Handwriting Says About You
I’m always so interested to see the handwriting of people around me. We all learn how to construct the alphabet in a similar way, yet we each take our own approach to creating every letter; word; phrase, making our handwriting completely unique to ourselves only. Read More
