These days, it’s all about getting that antioxidant fix. Blueberries are filled with them, different types of beans are packed with them, and now lots of beauty products have them, too. For years I’ve known that antioxidants are good for me, but the other day it suddenly dawned on me: I have no idea what an antioxidant is.

We’re nearing the end of summer, and while it may still be 80 degrees outside, we can’t help but get excited for fall dressing – especially with the launch of our jacket shop online this week. Read More
I’m always looking for new ways to use twigs and branches as décor, and today I want to share an idea that I think is just so adorable.

Remember the days when handwritten notes were the norm? When your parents would sneak a little “Have a great day!” into your lunch box; when your friends would pass you a “GUESS what Chrissy just told me” in the hallway, folded up in one of those cool paper triangles? Read More
There’s a feeling that fall evokes unlike any other season. The crisp air brings about a feeling of freshness; of a new start. It’s a feeling filled with a little bit of wonder and mystery, too.

Old window panes make beautiful decorations. I love hanging them up on my wall because, even though they don’t actually allow you to see outside, they remind me of peering into or out of a beautiful little cottage surrounded by overgrown gardens. I recently acquired a bunch of antique window panes from a friend who works on houses, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for me to try out some cool ways to use them. Read More
Whenever I think of Paris, images of beautiful girls sporting a swipe of chic red lipstick come to mind. Our August catalog and the film to go with it (Roshambo: Paper-Scissors) were shot in the wonderful city of Paris, so I thought now would be the perfect time to share some tips about wearing lipstick!

When I first got wind that we were doing a film series called “Roshambo”, I have to admit, I had no idea what that word meant. But as soon as I found out that it was another term for the “rock, paper, scissors” game, I was immediately brought back to childhood days spent on the playground or in the school lunchroom, and all of the hand games we used to play.

I’m a huge fan of quinoa. It’s a healthy replacement for grains like rice and couscous, and it can be incorporated into so many different dishes. My favorite quinoa recipe is actually one I came up with on my own when I was throwing together random ingredients in my kitchen. Read More
One of the first things I noticed when I started working at Free People was how different everyone’s style is here at home office. You could give every single one of us an LA Nite Tank and we’d each style it in a completely different way.
