Office Style: Meadow

Posted by fp naomi on February 16, 2012April 13, 2012 in fashion

Today, I went around the office and captured Meadow looks. Sadly, I think that the true, true Meadow comes out in warmer weather, so I didn’t find a ton of it on this rainy Philadelphia day. There were hints of her though! Even in the dreariest of conditions, we can’t help but pull out our bohemian touches – flowing bed jackets, paisley prints, lace detailing, and cozy knits among our favorites. Now, if only it were nice enough to lie outside in a sunny field…

Meadow loves intricate detailing like fine-touched eyelets. Pick up our Daisy Eyelet Button Down if you’re into the look.

When Meadow wears cardigans, she does them long and flowing. Get the look with our Ribbed Long Cashmere Cardigan and Jenny Floppy Hat.

Get the flower-child look with our Mulberry Rose Crown.

The Voile Trapeze Slip is a must-have in any Meadow closet.

Store Style: Blue Jean Baby

Posted by fp julia on February 16, 2012April 13, 2012 in fashion

In case you couldn’t tell by looking at our website, we’re pretty into denim right now – even the good old Canadian tuxedo! But even if head to toe denim is a little too much for you, we love finding ways to incorporate pieces of it into every outfit, and it feels so fresh for Spring. Here’s some styling inspiration from our always-lovely store girls!

The denim bustier dress is definitely our dress of the moment – change it up a little by adding a slip underneath!

The perfect cutoff denim short – wear them now with tights and boots; wear them later with bare legs and sandals – and of course the laguna coast pullover!

A sweet Meadow look: the fp high rise flares, flower smocked tube top and suede floral headband.

I love how she paired the denim bustier dress with a belt in a contrasting shade of blue – the dress also looks great with the caballero tall boot and jane wide brim hat.

Denim on denim! The cutoff denim short, riding with cowboys tank and traveler denim jacket.

The denim bustier dress looks absolutely adorable with boots or converse!

And lastly, we love the denim bustier dress with the traveler denim jacket!

Shop the Blue Jean Baby collection.

Spring Trend: Pastel

Posted by fp jemma on February 15, 2012April 13, 2012 in fashion

Spring fashion is starting to creep onto our homepage and I’m finding it hard not to dive straight into the fresh florals, pastel colours and lighter fabrics. Here in Philly we still have a couple more months until the weather starts to change. In the meantime I’m sourcing the spring 2012 runway trends to see what’s going to be hot fashion when the sun shines it’s warmth on us.

Last week we had florals this week we have pastels! Candy shades seem to be a lovely direction and we love the idea of wearing two shades together and making a full blown impact – I’m sure it will put a smile on anyone’s face if you look as sweet as a candy cane.

We loved what Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Jonathan Saunders and Jaeger showcased, our sweet tooth got big, now… where’s the bag of Cadbury’s mini eggs!

Brooke Studded Satchel

I just bought these bad boys! The Mainland Studded Boatshoe – if you love ’em too, hurry up and grab a pair they’re going quick!

I love how the Pyramid Ring looks when the light hits it.

One of our biggest obsessions of the moment: studs.

We can’t get enough of them! On t-shirts, bags, jewelry, leather, and especially shoes – any kind of shoe – we love the cool factor they add to standard styles. What do you think about studs, do you love them as much as we do?

Check out our Hard Wear collection – there are some pretty rad studded vintage tees you don’t wanna miss!

NYFW street style

Posted by fp jemma on February 14, 2012April 13, 2012 in fashion

Yesterday New York street fashion came alive with pops of neon; we spent the day back and forth between the Lincoln Center and Milk studios trying to hunt down some looks that caught our eye.
It’s always so fascinating watching how people choose to dress themselves and you can always read something about their personality just by what they are wearing. I for one love soaking in fashion; it’s like a book it makes your imagination run wild.

Pretty pastels were teased by bright pops, and yes spring florals are starting to creep their way in, bring on the spring!

In the evening we finished off the day at the Betsy Johnson show and as you can expect it was quite a performance, full of energy and bright lights it was hard to keep up! Here’s round one of our Street Style, more to come tomorrow!

Style File: Assistant Graphic Designer

Posted by fp naomi on February 13, 2012April 23, 2012 in fashion

Our Assistant Graphic Designer is fairly new to the company. She came on the scene with a giant smile and quirky style. To my experience, she showed up in a meeting one day with bright points to contribute and a dress that was to die. Graphically, her designs feel fresh. Fashion-wise, she has a cool vintage look and sticks too it. It’s full of tough to replicate, one-of-a-kind items that always come together perfectly. In Free People terms – the Molly style with its own spin – of this tiny, beautiful, and full-of-light character are freshly inspirational. Read on and see what I mean… Read More

My NYFW Diary

Posted by fp jemma on February 12, 2012April 12, 2012 in fashion

Yesterday after an evening of spending some time with my friends who are visiting New York from London I headed to the Mara Hoffman show. Her fall collection was inspired by “Shaman gauchos”. The ultimate bohemian bombshell sprung to mind as I watched meteorite patterns, tapestry motifs, and “third eye” symbols run down the runway with a jewelry collaboration with All For The Mountain! I left breathless and with a clear indication of how exactly I want to dress for Fall 2012.

Mid afternoon I made my way to “Pie and Thighs” in Williamsburg for a quick southern bite before departing back to Philly in the snow. Tomorrow I’m back to the Big Apple to take a bite at Street Style. I’ll also be checking out the Betsy Johnson show and after party!

My NYFW Diary

Posted by fp jemma on February 11, 2012April 12, 2012 in fashion

Yesterday was a busy day, Free People was shooting our February look book at 5 Beekman NY; a beautiful derelict building built in 1882. Our model Martha Hunt danced around in pastels while her face and hair was decorated in bright powder pops and coloured yarns. Next week there’ll be more photos on this so stayed tuned!

Mid afternoon we headed to the Lincoln Centre to see the Charlotte Ronson show. The crowds swamped in, Dead Weather lyrics flooded the room and the spotlight shone on the celebrities seated at the front row – Nicky Hilton, Sky Ferreira… the list goes on.

Charlotte Ronson’s collection was an array of sophistication with a spontaneously cool edge. Colours of bottle green, oatmeal, navy and deep purple collided with quirky geometric prints. It was a collection perfectly executed. Not too old, not too young but, spot on right in the middle!

Now for Fall 2012 I’m all about bottle green and oatmeal!

My NYFW Diary

Posted by fp jemma on February 9, 2012April 12, 2012 in fashion

I didn’t get much sleep last night at The Jane Hotel… The excitement was running through me.

At 9am after a strong red eye I headed to the Lincoln centre for the 10am BCBG show. The fashion flock were swamping in and the adrenalin was sky high. Everyone was excited to see what the show had to offer. The lights dimmed and the music started pumping, the models sashayed down the runway showing elongated shapes, beautiful colors and a great use of geometric obstruction.

After the show we hunted outside the venue for style, I spied Alexa Chung and my heart started racing. New York is fast, one blink and you’ll miss a trick! my tired feet are now resting with thoughts on what Fall 2012 fashion will become. I wonder what tomorrow will bring…

For live updates head over to our Twitter page and follow our tracks! And our street style photos will be coming next week!

Office Style: Lou

Posted by fp naomi on February 9, 2012April 13, 2012 in fashion, home office

This week’s office style is dedicated to one of my favorite FP girls: Lou. The awesome thing about Lou is that she’s rough and she’s edgy, but she never loses a touch of sexiness. The look is for a girl who’s on the run and active. She doesn’t have the time to be high maintenance, and can’t stand things that will restrict the adventure. She loves to steal items from her man – bulky tees and grungy tanks never looked better. Pants and shorts are her go-to, and there’s nothing like a good pair of boots or sneakers. Once in a while, she’ll mix it up on you and throw in that feminine touch to remind you that, after all, she is a lady.

There’s nothing like a good pair of faded sneakers, get the look with our Muddy Waters Sneaker.

The Love Bug Thermal and Buckle Ankle Back Boots paired with skinnies make a great laid back Lou look.

Nothin like some good elbow patches…

The FP Skinny Vegan Leather Pant from our original Vegan Collection

I’m seeing a trend with our Buckle Ankle Back Boots…

Lou loves motorcycle jackets! Get the look with our Vegan Leather Jacket.

Love the jumpsuit paired back to sneakers. Get the look with our Linen Striped Romper and Bowie Wedged Sneaker.

Blogger Love: Meet Gemma of Fade to Black

Posted by fp julia on February 9, 2012April 13, 2012 in fashion

I first discovered Gemma’s blog Fade to Black over a year ago, and fell instantly in love with her style and everything she posts. We’ve emailed each other frequently, but finally the other day we got to meet in person when she came down to our office, or as she calls it, fairy land, for a quick little visit. I asked her to fill out one of our style file questionnaires, and she cracked me up as she did. Get to know a little bit more about Gemma, FP style!
