Office Style: Meet Sam

Sam’s style mantra, and one you can make your own — “sometimes the best things happen unexpectedly.”

Your position at Free People…
Store Operations Coordinator .

Describe your personal style…
Boho with a touch of beachy, I like simple pieces that can be styled a bunch of different ways.

Who is your style icon?
Halley Elefante of @thesaltyblonde .

Favorite part of your job?
Getting to communicate and collaborate with so many different teams. Whether it’s here at Home Office or with our store/field leadership teams. I love connecting with people from all across the country, and now internationally!

What are your beauty + wellness must-haves?
The Beauty Chef Cleanse in a green smoothie.
Pai Rosehip Seed Oil (holy grail of products!!) followed by SkinGym face roller.
Eyeko Black Magic Mascara – I love how it makes your eyelashes long and thick!

What do you do outside of Free People?
Shop at our Free People stores, of course. 😉 I love being outside in summer and spending as much time at the beach as possible. I also love to read, watch movies and spend a lot of time with my family and friends.

If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
The Sierra Fleece Jacket in ice blue, the Revive Washed Bra and the Shanti Leggings (I own three pairs). Such a comfy outfit!

Your favorite (upcoming) trend…
Shell & straw. I used to spend every summer at the shore when I was younger and religiously collected shell jewelry. 5th grade me is soo happy these trends are back! 😉

Wearing the Lena Bernard Double Shell Ring. 

Best concert you’ve attended OR dream concert you’d love to attend
Bruce Springsteen at The Linc with my Dad. He played for 4 hours straight — one of his longest concerts ever!

Most embarrassing outfit you’ve ever worn.
In 6th grade I showed up to my first day of middle school in a pleated hot pink skirt with a kelly green sweater vest tucked in, and white and pink slip-on sneakers and hoop earrings.. not my finest moment.

One piece of advice you’d give your younger self.
It’s ok to go with the flow sometimes. Not everything needs to be planned all of the time. Sometimes the best things happen unexpectedly.

What’s the first thing you’d do if you won the lottery today?
Book a family & friends trip to Fiji — I’m dying to go there!
