Wardrobe Inspiration: Summer Florals
Flowers are some of nature’s most beautiful creations. They appeal to the eye, the nose, and most of all, the mind. They symbolize life and beauty, and always make me feel at ease. Come summer, I make sure to stock my wardrobe with all things floral, from dresses to underwear to shoes to hair accessories. Read More
Devendra Banhart Live At Union Transfer
I remember when I was first introduced to Devendra… It was during my university days. My best friend and I stalked a band on Myspace and went to see them when they played at a small venue in Bristol. After the show we had a few drinks with the members and — as you’d expect when you socialize with a band — music was the number one subject. They told us to listen to Devendra Banhart and so we did… and we fell in love. Read More
Office Style: Black on Black
Last week’s office style was all about white looks, and it just so happened that everyone this week was wearing the opposite — black on black! There is something so chic about wearing all black. It reminds me of that quintessential city-rocker girl. Finishing off with black leather jackets, beanies and boots, I was really digging how edgy the office was looking. It was nice to see the juxtaposition of last week’s lightness to the darker side of things this week. Read More
Festival Fashion & Music Highlights From Field Trip Festival!
Discussion: The Efforts Of Being Effortless
In our newest short film Neighbor, Daisy Lowe plays a girl who is trying to get the attention of her neighbor across the way. We see her putting in a great deal of effort to appear effortlessly beautiful. In the first scene, she wakes up in the morning and quickly ducks to the floor to hide from him until she has put on some makeup and her sexiest lingerie. In another scene, she takes a store-bought pie out of a box and places it on a plate, being sure to get some flour on her face to appear as if she’s baking (again, wearing sexy lingerie). But as the short film progresses, we see her and her neighbor form a relationship and she becomes far more natural – joking with him playfully through the window, she wears a casual sweater, messy ponytail, and no makeup. Behind this sweet love story is a message, and it’s all about the effort we put in, in order to appear effortless. Read More

Sage Erickson Visits Free People
Last Thursday, Free People had a very special office visitor: professional surfer Sage Erickson! Sage stopped by for a few hours en route to New York to check out the office and try on some FP product. I was excited to meet Sage since I grew up in a family of surfers and was curious as to whether we have traveled to some of the same surf spots over the years. As soon as I was introduced to her, I was taken back by her natural beauty and charismatic personality. Dressed in a reworked vintage dress she designed herself, with her hair pulled back in a low bun, she has a personal style that is elegantly effortless and carries herself with a cool confidence. She is so full of life and one of the most down to earth girls I have ever met. Read More

I Am A Photo Hoarder
When it comes to tangible things, I am by no means a hoarder. I cleanse my closet often, donating everything that no longer does it for me; I get rid of tickets, wristbands, and everything else that many people like to keep to remind them of fun times. In my mind, I have the memories of these objects and events, and that’s all I really need! But when it comes to digital photos, I just can’t seem to let go. Read More
