tunesday: grace potter & the nocturnals

Posted by fp julia on in music

i mentioned grace potter & the nocturnals the other week because they were one of the acts performing at the XPN music festival – but today i wanted to dedicate a whole post to them.  i think grace potter is one of those musicians that you need to see live to really appreciate. she can really rock.  i think she’s probably the only female musician around right now who could do justice to jefferson airplane’s “white rabbit.” check it out:

quirky bouquet

Posted by fp julia on in DIY, features, inspiration

quirky but incredibly cute! an fp girl who works in one of our stores sent me the following…

“on friday i got promoted from the part-time MIT to full-time MIT and one of the associates said congrats with the cutest little present – an old glass jar filled with pink flowers & broccoli! … so strange but so fitting, i love flowers, and broccoli is my favorite food ever.  i thought i’d share these pictures with you because i’ve never seen anyone arrange something like this before, and it made me smile!”

i’ve never seen anything like that either! so original and sweet. thanks for sharing :)

free stylin

this week’s pick from our stylists is the eternal sunshine shirt! our assistant stylist says “transitioning into fall i love the idea of wearing woven button downs as layering pieces. it’s great for adding pattern and texture to your outfit.”

here are some styling ideas:

worn here with the needlepoint cami, we the free colorblock cardigan, slouchy chino and lace up peep toe wedge.

SPECIAL SHOT FP DENIM 299

worn here with the printed lace tank (colorway coming soon), fp skinny textured jeans, muu baa leather jacket and strasborg heeled hiker.

i love this shirt, i just can’t decide which color i like better!

in addition to the amazing interior of our new building, we have a pretty awesome outdoor area too. in between our building and 543, where our cafeteria is located, we have a dry dock – check it out:

it has the letters URBN floating in it!
