There are often times when things get a little tough, a little sensitive and a little clumsy. I’ve always been told to look on the bright side of life. Never let anything drag you down, always try and find humor in everything. If you’re like me and can sometimes be a bit of a klutz, these words of advice come into light. Read More

Tattoo Inspiration From Our Office
UPDATE: This post originally ran on October 18th 2012 but we are still so inspired by these tattoos we wanted to share it again!
Tattoos have been on my mind lately…I am starting to think about my next one and gathering inspiration from various sources. But one place I am definitely looking for inspiration is right here in our office! There are so many amazing tattoos that constantly catch my eye around the office, and I’m sure I’m just scratching the surface…(no pun intended). I thought it was really cool how the triangle on the left above caught the light in this photo, while the dark, filled in triangle was more shadowed. Read More

Color Palette Inspiration: Winter White

DIY: Photo Bunting
Bunting is a fun way to decorate for a party; it’s easy, pretty, and you can hang it anywhere you like. The other day here at Free People it was my sister’s Bridal Shower and for the occasion I made some bunting to hang delicately on the wall. The theme I used was “a couple in love” and printed out photos of her and her fiance throughout the years they have been together. Read More
DIY Hammered Leaf Prints
UPDATE: This post originally ran on November 1st 2012 but we wanted to share it again while we still have some time left to take advantage of those beautiful fall leaves!
One of the best things about fall is without a doubt the gorgeous explosion of colors when the leaves turn. The mixture of vibrant red, orange, yellow, and green is breathtaking and I hate that it’s always so fleeting. Read More

Poll: Stage Right
This week’s trend Stage Right pulls together great holiday outfits that will make sure you stand out in any crowd. Touches of sparkles mixed with black, ivory, and soft pink create looks that are edgy, cool, and feminine. We love how versatile these looks are whether it’s a pair of embellished denim shorts worn with suspenders, a long flowing maxi dress worn with knee high boots, or a sequin dress worn casually with a sweater.
