Outfit of the day

 

Yesterday here at the office the lovely ladies from our NY showroom stopped by for one of our meetings.It’s always so lovely when they come to visit us as they bring so much energy with them.

Coming from one of the biggest fashion capitals in the world — NY — they always turn it up a notch when it comes to style!

My eyes were drawn to this perky ensemble…

Her look reminds me of a slightly hippified Jane Birkin while the glasses give her a modified Annie Hall Look.

Here shes been pretty creative with our Free People clothes. She’s wearing one of Fp floral rompers with the crochet top worn casually over the top and… why not, a little peek-a-boo of our lace bandeau.

it’s all in the details

as promised, some more shots of the amazing displays in our new scottsdale, arizona store!

i swear they are creative geniuses.  more to come… i haven’t showed you my favorite part yet!

bandeau with a twist

this is such a fun idea! our santa barbara store had a really cool event over the weekend where customers who purchased a bandeau had the opportunity to tie-dye the bandeau in-store! i love how this bandeau looks! this is such a great way to spice up a plain white bra.

happy yoga month!

september is yoga month!  the purpose of the national yoga campaign is to educate people about the many benefits of yoga and inspire them to live healthier, happier lives. and part of this is to offer one week of free yoga at 1000+ participating studios nationwide!  this is for new students, but all you have to do is take this card to your local yoga studio during the month of september. amazing!

stay tuned for some more yoga centric posts this month in celebration :)

burning man starts today, anyone going? i have never been to burning man but its one of those things that i’ve always been really interested in doing.  it just looks so primeval and spirited… and maybe a little eerie in these photos by samantha casolari. beautiful though… i think it would be quite an experience. if any of you have been or plan on going, i would love to hear about it!

these photos can also be seen in samantha’s first book which is out now :)

Falls Hot New Looks (Part 3)

Why we love it

It has come from our love of slips. Sheerness feels so fresh especially going into fall and especially wearing chunky boots with something sheer, we really loved the contrast of pretty and tough.  This trend feels so Free People we couldn’t ignore it.

How we’ll wear it

Lacey details and body con slips are something we are known for, so we wanted to freshen them up and bring them on trend. Rather than wearing them underneath, we put them on the outside so they didn’t get hidden.  There are so many ways to do this trend. It’s a real easy one to get into straight away and beat the rest of the fashion pack.  Just team a chiffon or mesh slip over skinny jeans and throw on an oversized sweater for an understated hint of sheer peeking out from underneath. Or, go for it with a sheer maxi slip over a shorter body con slip and style with chunky boyfriend boots and tough leather jacket to get the whole look.
