Whether here on this blog, our Instagram, or at FreePeople.com, you’ve probably heard a lot about FP Me.
For starters, what is it? FP Me is a social community built around you and your style. With FP Me you can share your style and be inspired by other Free People fans by creating and sharing pics, collections and hearts. It’s easy to be part of, simply create an account on FreePeople.com, select a few settings and you’re all set! Already have an account? Good news! You are automatically part of the FP Me Community. Log in to your account to get started.
For those of you with an iPhone, the easiest way to upload a pic to FP Me is with the Free People App. Here’s how:
Download the App: Head to the App store and download the Free People App if you haven’t already.
Sign In: Once installed, open the App and sign in or create an account.
Identify a Trend Hashtag: To find out what hashtags are in use, click on the three pink lines in your upper left hand corner. Scroll down to Features + Trends, and click on Trends. As you select a trend to view, you will see the hashtags written underneath the trend name at the top of your page (ie. #FPSpringItOn).
Add A Pic: Click the FP Me icon in the upper right hand corner. This will navigate you to the FP Me Pic Stream where you can see all of the latest uploads from others in the community. To reach your own profile, click on the profile picture in the center of the bottom tool bar.
Uploading a Photo: To upload, click add a style pic. From here, take a new photo or press the icon on the left to access your library. Crop to your liking and hit save.
Tag Your Photo: Tag items in your photo by clicking add an item and searching for the product name. You can also search by category such as “yoga pant” or “maxi dress” if you’re unsure what the item is called. In the comment box, hashtag a Free People Trend, or add other captions if you wish — don’t forget to credit your photographer if you worked with one!
Post: Finally, hit post to upload your picture.
If you’re an Android user, or want to upload from your desktop follow these steps:
Where to Upload: On desktop, you can either upload a pic through a Trend or on a Product Page.
Uploading to a Trend: Navigate to the Trends portion of our website, by clicking Trends in the top navigation. Click into a trend, and select the Pics icon underneath the main image. From there, scroll down and click Add a Pic then move onto step four.
Uploading to a Product Page: Find the product you wish to add a pic to. Scroll down on the page to where you’ll find the FP Me content. Here you’ll see the Add a Pic icon.
Upload a Pic: Select ‘upload a new pic’ or ‘upload from Instagram’. It’s important to note, you can only upload from Instagram if you’ve linked your account to your FP Me profile. More on how to do that later. For now, hit Choose File and select the photo that you would like to upload. To finalize your pic, click Add a Pic and then I’m Done Show Me My Pic.
Tag Your Photo with Product: Once you’ve uploaded your photo, click back into it and select Add an Item. Search by sku number or product name to find what you’re looking for.
When uploading a pic to FP Me, there are few guidelines that will make it easier!
1. Make sure your photos are 800 pixels x 800 pixels
2. Make sure your photos are in jpeg format
3. Include a trend hashtag
4. Did you know that your image doesn’t have to be of you wearing Free People product? Upload inspiration pics to trends!
To get the most out of FP Me, it’s best to build your profile out to its fullest potential. This makes it easier to connect with others in the community and for Free People to connect with you.
Here are some guidelines to follow:
1. To access your profile, hover over My Account at the top of your page. Select View My Profile.
2. Click Edit Profile
3. Here, you can link your blog, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest accounts to your profile. Synching Instagram also makes it so that you can upload photos directly from your Instagram account.
4. Next, be sure to fill in sizes & height, so that others in the community can get a sense of the apparel. One of the best parts about FP Me is that you can see how girls with different styles and body types look in the pieces you might want to buy.
What are we supposed to upload a photo of? Are there any guidelines?
Can you enter more than once?
You say upload ANY pic, but do you mean ANY pic, or what? Need more guidelines; this is the first time I have heard of you.
When Will There Be An App For Android? It’s Been Well Over A Year And We Keep Being Told Soon??
Yes!… to All of the above questions!!
what kind of picture we need to upload ?
Is it possible for europeans to take part as well?
Can you be more specific about the pic? …..showing FP clothing or anything??
Hi guys! You can upload ANY pic you want. It can be an inspiration pic that fits a trend or a style pic wearing Free People. You can also upload as many as you’d like to enter you more than once. Unfortunately this is open to US & Canadian residents only.
Hope that answers everyone’s questions!
Thanks :)
What a fabulous giveaway! I’d love to go and meet link-minded women! xo
Warm Regards,

I’ll definitely keep this in mind!
Nice! I will totally look into this!
How is there still no app for android? Weird.
Agreed with Lisa! I love FP, but you guys are really lame for not having an Android App. Seriously it’s 2015 you have no excuse! Glad your promos are so biased.
how will the winner be determined? by judges, voting, or is it random? thanks!
worst contest instructions I have ever encountered. Still don’t get it. Is a simple entry too much to ask? hadn’t heard of you before. now I don’t want to.
Hi Saegan — the winners will be determined by a panel of judges. The scoring details are outlined under terms & conditions if you want to take a look!
Lisa & Natalia — Thanks for your feedback about the Free People App. We are currently looking into Android, but for the time being, you can still enter Sur la Sol by uploading via desktop. A great way to do so is by syncing Instagram on your profile, and uploading right from there!
Hello! I was wondering how many photographs we could enter- I saw on the Terms and Conditions that it is limited to one photograph per day, is this correct? Or did I misunderstand, and it is limited to one photograph per person? Thank you so much!
Mary — you can actually submit as many photos as you want. We’ll look at all of the entries as a whole, and will take each of your photos into consideration.
Good luck!
This is such a great opportunity! Are there any age restrictions and where could I find a link to the terms & conditions?
Do the photos have to be of you?
hi FP — i think by “sur la sol” you mean “under the sun,” yes? in that case in Spanish it would be “bajo el sol.” “sur” means “south” in Spanish, not “under/below” as it does in French and “sol” is masculine, not feminine. i don’t mean to be pretentious! just seeing that would make any Spanish-speaker cringe…i honestly didn’t even understand it when the e-mail about the contest first arrived in my inbox…
Hi FreePeople!! I am not sure if I broke the rules by making pic collages for my inspiration pics.. When I saw “photo” and also some of my pics in my collage I found on Instagram from the sponsors… So are collages not a “photo”… and Bc the pics for inspiration I didn’t take them myself? Thanks in advance! -April :)
Ahhhh this is amazing!!!! Is it too late to enter?? Just seeing this now… Hope not, SO interested!!!
