February 7th, 2012 / Posted by fp jemma / PermalinkA collection of photos have built up in my instagram like a visual calendar reminding me of certain things I did in the week.
It’s easy for me to declare that I’m slightly addicted to documenting my days, I like to capture the essence that remind me of my whereabouts, my feeling and my thought. Capturing a moment is like pressing pause on your life – which thought, which feeling you had there and then will remain there through the photo you took. Like a treasure chest it’s always nice digging through photos, the feeling you get is something else.

I was browsing through Yours Truly’s vimeo page the other day and, having heard a couple of songs by Gardens & Villa, checked out the video they did for “Orange Blossom.” I was completely blown away by their ability to recreate the sound from their album live, and later read that they took a vow as a band to always play all parts of their songs when they perform. Using guitar, brush-on-box drums, xylophone, and singer Chris Lynch alternating seamlessly between lyrics and flute like a pied piper, they create a funky sound that I can’t get enough of. There’s a great range to their self-titled debut, from the quasi-electronic, upbeat “Black Hills” to the moody, psychedelic “Chemtrails” and Pink Floyd-sounding “Sunday Morning” I can’t wait for them to come to the east coast so I can see them live!
Check out their video with Yours Truly below, and a playlist of some of their tunes.

February 6th, 2012 / Posted by fp naomi / PermalinkThis week’s Style File always manages to look cute, but is never too fussy or over the top. Overall her looks have a simple beauty to them. There’s a definite Lou vibe coming through in the practical and cozy looks she gravitates towards. The look is usually centered around one knockout piece – a scarf, an awesome dress, or a pretty slip. She’ll then through the Lou vibe for a loop with some Candy thrown in there in either a feminine print or flirty lace and ruffles.
Throw a cozy sock on under your boots to live out the rest of the winter season.
Get the look with our Bikini Ankle Crop Jean, the Fishnet Long Sleeve Top, and a pair of tall boots.
We love colorful bracelets!
Try out a cute printed dress with tights to move into Spring.
