You might have noticed scarves are all the rage these days, and they are such a cute way to warm yourself up on a cold autumn day!
I am going crazy for our Mica Metallic Scarf lately - I kind of want it in every color! And I love that it is sparkley!
Shown below is the scarf in Cerulean...
Now the scarf in Berry...
Finally, here is the scarf in Old Emerald!
So which color would you guys pick?
Our November catalog just came out a couple days ago, and I think it is just gorgeous! I wondered though, which catalog from this autumn has been your favorite so far?
Below are the covers from the last three catalogs. If you click the name of the month above the picture, it will take you to the main FP website, where you can look at the inside of each catalog online, in case you need a reminder before you pick your favorite!
So which is your favorite?
The other day I spotted a little cardigan I hadn't seen yet on our website, and I think I'm in love! Check out the Colonel Sparkle Cardigan and all the colors it comes in below!
Above, the cardigan is shown in Olive Heather.
Here is the cardigan in Charcoal.
Finally, the cardigan in Blue Heather.
I just love this sweater! I think it is so cute! Which color do you like it in best?
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.
You can also wear a nice thick hoodie, like the We The Free Shining Star Hoodie shown below.
Another cozy option is a warm sweater, like the Walk in the Park Sweater Coat, which is shown below in spruce heather.
So how do you like to keep warm?
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.
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.
Finally, below are our FP Stretch Wide-Leg Jeans, which exemplify the wide-leg or boyfriend style of jeans.
So which fit do you prefer to wear?
Have you seen our Sky Brights Long Sleeved Top?! It is so adorable! I love burn-out, and the prints and colors are so cute! Which color is your favorite?
Here's the Natural.
Maybe you like Berry best?
Shown below is the shirt in Moss.
Which color do you like best?
Over the past few seasons, I have noticed belts moving from the high hip and being worn at varying heights and being styled in different ways!
Shown above is the Studded Crocodile Belt, worn at the natural waist.
Here we have our Embellished Side Stretch Belt in natural combo, worn in the classic style, through the belt loops at the high hip.
Shown above is the Studded Chasm Belt in black, worn over the shirt and hitting more toward the lower hip.
How do you like to wear your belts?
I have been seeing vests everywhere the last few seasons, and I love it! We have come out with quite a few sweet little vests lately, and I've been just itching to get my hands on them!
Check out this cute Beaded Lace Vest! It also comes in lavender.
Shown below is our Velveteen Lead Vest, which also comes in bronze.
We also have a really cute Drippy Silk Vest! I love it in the taupe too.
My question to you is, which vest do you like best?
So, I've been noticing fringe popping up on lots of our latest accessories, and I'm liking it.
There are so many different ways to fringe it up!
Check out our Fringe Belt.
Here is a shot of our Fringe Moccasin Boots.
We also have a cute Glittered Fringe Scarf.
Finally, we have a Mezzo Fringe Clutch - and that's not even everything!
Which do you think is the best way to wear fringe?
Have you seen our super-cute We The Free Bomber Jacket?
It comes in three colors:
Red Plaid,
Turquoise Stripe,
... and Yellow Plaid.
Which color do you like best?
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!
Check out our super cute Elysees V Top! It comes in four awesome colors! Have a look below...
Navy
Pimento
Black
Olive Green
My question to you is, which color do you like the most? Give us your opinion!
Check out our cool new Mixed Stripes Cowlneck Sweater, which comes in Cranberry and Blackberry! (I love the cute color names!)
How do you guys like it styled? As a kind of shirt, with pants or jeans, or as a sweater-dress, with tights?
As many of you know, our latest catalog came out this week, and so for our weekly poll I was curious about what you all think of our last few catalogs.
Below, to remind you which is which, are the front covers of our last three catalogs.
May
July
August
Which was your favorite catalog this summer?
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!
My question to you is, which color do you like better for this dress? Teal or black?
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!
Shown above is the Buckled Up Menswear Dress in blue.
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...
Above is our Parisian Moon Dress, shown here in black combo.
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?
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.
Another way the dress is shown is alone- (though there is a cute slip under it!)
So, my question to you is, how do you like this dress styled? Alone? With a shirt underneath?
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?
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.
Thanks for your feedback!
