This week I want to ask you about tunics (and dresses that can sort of double as tunics) since I have been hoping to add a few more to my wardrobe shortly! Check out of few of the ones we currently have in our collection below.

First the Santa Cruz River Tunic is shown below in grey.

We thought about summer hats last week, and ended up deciding that our favorite is the Woven Rainbows Straw Hat, followed very closely by the Raffia Cowgirl Hat.
This week I am wondering what you think of out new short-leg rompers! We have quite a few new ones and they are all really cute! I like them all pretty equally myself, I may have to wait and think a bit before I cast my vote!

Thursday Poll - Edition 30!

Wow! I can't believe we've reached poll 30! It doesn't seem that long ago that we had our first poll!

This week I wanted to ask you about tube tops, because I can already tell that this spring they are going to be a really prominent style!

We came up with this survey to see what you think of the blog and of Free People, so that we can keep coming with what you like, and improve too!

Thursday Poll - Edition 28

It's time for our Thursday Poll!
Last week I asked which drapey top out of four that we are currently selling appealed to you the most. Your favorites were the Double Drape Tank, with 164 votes, and the Embroidered Floral Hoodie with 136 votes. Excellent choices- especially the Embroidered Hoodie I think, since I have one myself! ;)

This week, I am trying to get myself out of this wintry mood and into a more springy frame of mind. We recently started coming out with our beach line for this year, and I am obsessed! I have been perusing all of our bathing suits with interest as they come out, and of course I want to know which one is your favorite so far!

First, have a look at the Sandy Dot Cut-Out One Piece below.
91A0134_00_a.jpg

Next up is the Full Fringe Bandeau Bikini.
91A0138_01_a.jpg

January 29, 2009

Thursday Poll - Edition 27

My friends, it's time again for our Thursday Poll!
Last week I asked for your opinion on a number of harem pants we are currently selling, and the majority of you responded that harem pants are not for you, with that option getting 283 votes! Very interesting! Those of you who did like the look of harem pants favored the We The Free Crinkle Jersey Harem Pants, with 95 votes!

This week, I've been thinking about drapey, voluminous tops. I love them right now, and I actually have not yet talked to anyone that does not! They are definitely a major trend right now! I think it may be because they are flattering on so many body types.
We have a number of drapey tops in our collection right now, and I'd be interested to know which one you find most appealing!

First, take a look at our Angel Dolman Top shown here in white.
87U0297_10_a.jpg

Thursday Poll - Edition 26

It's time again for our Thursday Poll! Last week, I wondered which color of our Solid Pullover Poncho you liked the most. Coral and Bark were very close, with votes of 108 and 104, respectively. However, they were the winners by far, with Midnight getting 83 votes, and Grey Heather only 52! Bright colors ruled the day!

Lately, I've noticed harem pants starting to come into style. We recently came out with a few different pairs ourselves, and this week I wondered which ones you preferred!

First, have a look at our Linen Harem Pants.
87P0083_20_b.jpg

Thursday Poll - Edition 25

It's poll time! Last week, I asked which slip you liked best out of three of our newer styles, and the answers came out very even, with the Tie Dye Ruffles Slip coming in first by only about 20 votes!

This week, I wanted to ask you about this really cool poncho we just came out with, the Solid Pullover Poncho. I tried one on yesterday, and I just love it! It's about the comfiest thing ever, and it looks really cute on! As usual, I'm stuck on the colors though.

First, check out the poncho in Coral below.
91K0038_85_a.jpg

Next, here it is in Grey Heather.

Thursday Poll - Edition 24

After a hectic holiday season, the Thursday Poll is back with a vengeance! Last time, I asked whether you liked the Floral Tiered Convertible Skirt styled as a dress or a skirt, and the preference was overwhelmingly for the styling as a dress, with 351 votes! Having it styled as a skirt got 41 votes, with 2 votes for "other."

This week, I have been admiring all of our slips! We recently came out with a bunch of new ones, and I'm real curious to know what types of styles you like!

First, check out our Solid Stretch Lace Slip below, in washed berry.
85N0624_66_a.jpg

Thursday Poll - Edition 23

This week, I have a pretty simple question for you - well, it appears simple anyway! I still can't decide what my own answer will be!

One of our newer items is the Floral Tiered Convertible Skirt. It's really cute and versatile, and can be worn a couple different ways!

Here is the skirt is shown styled as a skirt, and in deep sea combo.

Have you seen the New York Times' recent little slide show of different black lacy tights and stockings?

Thursday Poll - Edition 16

This last week in Philadelphia it finally started to get genuinely cold outside, and I imagine it has probably gotten at least a little bit cooler everywhere else too! With the cold weather comes outerwear in various guises, and there are quite a few different ways of keeping warm!

One way to keep warm is by wearing a cute coat, like our Parker Plaid Overcoat, shown here in charcoal.
85J0988_05_b.jpg

You can also wear a nice thick hoodie, like the We The Free Shining Star Hoodie shown below.
85K0559_60_a.jpg

Another cozy option is a warm sweater, like the Walk in the Park Sweater Coat, which is shown below in spruce heather.
85X0141_30_a.jpg

So how do you like to keep warm?

October 17, 2008

Thursday Poll - Edition Friday

Well, first off I would like to apologize for the lack of a poll last week, and a late poll this week! Last week I am afraid I didn't notice it was Thursday until it already had become Friday! (I'm so embarrassed!) Then this week I wondered if the polls had perhaps become obsolete - but now I am happy to announce the return of the Thursday Poll in full force, due to popular demand! Hooray! Next week we will be back to normal, with the Thursday Polls showing up on Thursday!
For our fun little Friday poll this week, I wanted to ask you all about jeans, since lately I have been thinking about jean fits. It seemed to me that for a while, flared jeans went 'out' and skinny tight jeans were the only style that was 'in.' But lately I've noticed jeans of all styles and fits are coming 'in', and I love the variety!

Shown below are our FP Skinny Denim Jeans, which are a good example of the skinny & straight fit.
84P0158_04_b.jpg

Here we have our Distressed Flare Jean by Pratt's, shown in blue. They are a nice example of a flared or bootcut style of jean.
85P0001_40_b.jpg

Finally, below are our FP Stretch Wide-Leg Jeans, which exemplify the wide-leg or boyfriend style of jeans.
82P1882_40_f.jpg

So which fit do you prefer to wear?

Thursday Poll - Edition 9

usaz8859.jpeg

Labor Day weekend is almost here! A time for cookouts and parades and camping and all sorts of other fun activities... It also brings to mind the old "rule" of dress: No white after Labor Day, until Memorial Day. I was chatting today with a couple of the girls on the knits team, and we had somewhat varying opinions on how much power this rule still holds. Some feel this rule has gone totally obsolete, for others, strict observance remains. As for myself, I'll be wearing plenty of white shirts through winter, but you sure won't catch me in any white pants or skirts!

I am so curious to find out what you guys think of this rule! Please share!

August 21, 2008

One of my favorites of our new items is the Wild At Heart Chiffon Dress, shown below in the two colors it comes in - teal and black. This dress is so stunning!

84Y0627_46_a.jpg

84Y0627_01_a.jpg

My question to you is, which color do you like better for this dress? Teal or black?

July 24, 2008

Thursday Poll - Edition 4

This week for our poll, we have a question for you all in regards to a couple of our current trends.

One trend that we are currently featuring in our stores is called "Wild at Heart." The inspiration for this trend is the outdoors, the beauty of nature, and ourselves within it. Sweaters, cable knits, lots of texture in general, thermals, and a natural color palette dominate this trend. You can also spot plenty of plaid and a long and lean look to this trend.
Here are a couple of items from this trend, to help give an idea of what it is about!

84Y0093_42_a.jpg
Shown above is the Buckled Up Menswear Dress in blue.

84U0713_01_a.jpg
Shown here is the Wildlife Burnout Crew in black.

Another trend that you can currently find permeating our stores right now is called "Girls in Paris." The girl in Paris is more fashion-forward, and though her silhouettes are similar to those in Wild at Heart, they are edgier and a little flirtier too! This trend is dominated by a drapey, girly feel, with hints of stripes, art deco-type prints, and of course plenty of black!
A couple of examples follow below...

84Z0769_01_a.jpg
Above is our Parisian Moon Dress, shown here in black combo.

84U2220_31_a.jpg
Here we have our Raining Flowers Cami in olive.

See if you can pick out more items from each trend on your own!
But please first, give us your opinion! Which current trend do you like most?

July 17, 2008

Thursday Poll - Edition 3

Our poll this week is a bit more light, but I'm curious to see what the response will be!
One of our latest items from the Wild at Heart trend is the Rows of Cable Dress. On the site, it is shown styled in a couple different ways.
One way is as a sort of jumper, worn over a long sleeved top.
84X0430_04_a.jpg

84X0430_04_b.jpg

Another way the dress is shown is alone- (though there is a cute slip under it!)
84X0430_60_a.jpg

84X0430_60_b.jpg

So, my question to you is, how do you like this dress styled? Alone? With a shirt underneath?

July 10, 2008

Thursday Poll - Edition 2

I can't believe a week has gone by already! But it is indeed Thursday, and my friends, it's time now for our Thursday poll.
This week, we are helping Megan, our Web Marketing Analyst, pick out a new coat for this fall. Whenever we are getting ready to sell a bunch of new items, the people in the web production room get a rack full of samples to help them write the copies and other similar tasks. This is how we got the chance to try out some of our new coats!
Here's a little note from Megan: "I always check out the new product when it is brought over to our area. The web producers go through it in order to write the copy. It is really fun to look at the clothes and feel the fabric. I was trying on the new jackets and coats the other day, and I love all of them! I definitely want a new one for fall, but I can't decide which one I like the most…"

The first coat Megan tried on was the Buffalo Swing Coat in grey, shown below.

Next, Megan tried the Rugged Herringbone Coat in blue, and gave us a fun and rather stately pose too! :)

Finally, she tried on the Retro Nylon Puff Jacket in orange.

And now readers, it's up to you! Which coat you like the most?

Thursday Poll

We are trying out something new this week - the Thursday poll!
Not only do we want to know what you all think, it also seemed like fun!
If all goes well we'll be trying to do one every Thursday.

This week, our Web Marketing Manager, Heather, needs some help picking out a headband! Here's a little note from her:
“My hair has grown to a length where headbands have become a viable option for me. I never really wore headbands but recently they are becoming more and more appealing. I think they add a little bit of jazziness when you maybe don’t really want to put a lot of effort into your hair. I was thinking about picking up some of the cute FP headbands that we have online but I’m not sure what to get. I tried on a couple of the ones we have at the office. Which one do you like best?”

First we have Heather in the pruple Zodiac Stretch Band, shown below.

Next, Heather tries on the pink Rialto Paisley Stretch Band.
