Our KOP store had a photo booth contest a couple of weeks ago. Fans voted on their favorite look, and the winner received a grand prize! Here is Kate Kacmar in her winning look. She looks so adorable in the relaxed styling and amazing color combo.
What she’s wearing: FP Skinny Cords, Multi Strip Pullover, Serena Lined Docs, and sold out top.
Our December Catalog is a fresh escape from winter to the warmth of Greece… the white painted buildings and bluest of skies provided a stunning backdrop for model Mona Johannesson, shot by photographer Enric Galceran. Here’s a sneak peek!
The catalog drops next week so look out for it online on Monday!
We can’t get enough of our new selection of intimates – rich textures, jewel tones and a touch of sparkle – these are the types of under-garments that you WANT to show! I’m imagining the velvet bike short under a sheer maxi or the sequin bandeau adding some sparkle under a layering top.
Here’s a little behind the scenes video from our current homepage shoot, featuring model Linda Vojtova!

She’s like a mix between Rachel Zoe and Alexa Chung – a shaggy jacket paired with a retro mini. She holds one of the most coveted positions at a fashion brand, and she’s this week’s inspiring style file. Our Creative Design Assistant (assistant to the Creative Director) knows exactly how to rock her miniature frame. She’s always put together to the t’s, and knows how to pull off classic, cool, and edgy all at the same time. Did I mention how warm and adorable she is?
Get the look with our Anita Fur Jacket.
Talk about the perfect relaxed tee look….
Her adorable baby, Ruby!
A little while back we held an fp me style contest and we were completely blown away by the amazing entries! It was very difficult to narrow it down to three winners – who are currently being featured as part of our holiday boutiques! Here are the winning photos, and a little bit more about each of these lovely fp girls :)

What do you love most about the holiday season?
Holidays are an amazing time because you are surrounded by fabulous family and great food! What could be more lovely!?
Where is your favorite place?
My favorite place is Byron Bay, Australia. There is such a peaceful calm about it and the people with whom reside. The laid back vibe, fantastic hikes, beautiful views, and amazing surf all drew me in.
How would you describe your style? And, what Free People girl are you?
I am a boho-girl to my core! I am extremely inspired by photography, music, art, and adventure which directly influences my life and style. I love pieces that you can wear in more ways than one, like a fantastic maxi that you can pull up, belt and wear as a dress. I am also careful to purchase pieces that I know I will still be in love with years down the road. I could definitely be soul sisters with the FP girl, Miss Meadow.
What is your favorite fashion trend this season?
I am always freezing cold, so the thing I love most about this season is layering. Being all bundled up and cozy with over sized sweaters and scarves is exactly what you will catch me in this season!
What is your motto?
My main motto in this life is just to keep putting yourself out there because you never know what can come from an experience. I always surround myself with creative, motivating and positive people because they are constantly inspiring me and challenging me to grow.
Amy’s picks:
Crochet Love Cardi in Rust paired with a distressed boot : I love this look because it is such a laid back, comfortable and relaxing look yet so incredibly detailed.
Multi-Color Stripe Pullover onto of the Feather Slip: What makes this look special to me is the pairing of these two interesting and very different textures and materials. It stands out in such a delicate yet confident way.
Marled Yarn Pullover in Golden Marl: I love the way you can wear this sweater in multiple ways. You can layer it, you can pull it off of one shoulder, you can perfectly expose your collar bone; On top of how comfortable and cozy it looks, there is no question that this piece is special.
Beaded Hippie Jumpsuit: I am speechless — I just…. I can’t. It’s too good!!! Pair it with an intense head-piece…Unstoppable!
Cabin Fever Layering Top in Pimento: This top is a perfect piece for the season! The detailing and color is really eye catching. It is perfect way to add some flare and really brighten up your look!
Mariya Jasmine, Seattle WA
What do you love most about the holiday season?
Getting to watch Home Alone and Love Actually all the time! I love that the holidays allow you to spend time with and celebrate the amazing people in your life, and it’s fun to dress up for all of the fancy parties!
Where is your favorite place?
I just got back from my honeymoon to French Polynesia, which was incredible! The islands of Bora Bora and Moorea are breathtaking and were incredibly relaxing … It’s my favorite place I’ve traveled…so far!
How would you describe your style? And, what Free People girl are you?
My style is pretty relaxed… a mix of feminine, romantic, flowy and floral pieces… care-free but put-together – I would be the “new romantic” Free People girl.
What is your favorite fashion trend this season?
I am loving this season’s trends of lace and maxi dresses and skirts, often together. Pairing a boxy, lace top with a long maxi skirt and a blazer is my go-to outfit of the moment.
What is your motto?
Always stay inspired.
Mariya’s picks:
Lacey Layering Top – I love the versitility of this piece. you could wear it alone or use it for layering. you could dress it up or down, depending on how you accessorize it, and it could be paired with pants/skirt or layered under a dress for a stylish way to keep warm.
Crochet Love Cardi – This sweater looks so comfy! what i love about Free People is that all the pieces are versatile, and you can incorporate them into your wardrobe and make it work with many options.
Crochet Sleeve Pullover – Love the exaggerated sleeves on this top. crochet is a great trend this season…almost like lace but a difference texture.
Jilly Maxi Dress – I feel like this dress could be a great, sexy piece on its own, or almost like a slip under another dress. the pop of color peaking out under the bottom would be a great way to change up a dress or maxi-skirt you already own.
Nicole Embellished Lace Dress – I”m such a sucker for lace! and i love the white option of this dress, it feels very festive :)
Sophie Anna London, Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
What do you love most about the holiday season?
I love holiday parties, the outfits that accompany them and flowing champagne! New Years Eve is the most magical holiday of the year and I try to go on a beach vacation every winter.
Where is your favorite place?
Praia do Rosa, Brazil and Paris are my favorite places I have been to… New Years Eve in Brazil is amazing! Morocco and Tahiti are my current dream destinations.
How would you describe your style? And, what Free People girl are you?
My style is bohemian Gypsy luxe. I love special, feminine pieces, lots of jewelry, and a 70’s Rock & roll attitude. I have a good time when I get dressed. Listening to music and channelling different muses depending on my mood. I am a combo of “Ginger”, “Meadow” and “Sandy”. Sexy, bohemian and beachy!
What is your favorite fashion trend this season?
I would call my favorite trend this holiday season “Spice & Honey”, inspired by a poem I read about a fairy. Romantic and magical, glittering and delicate in whites, silver and gold. I want to dress like a fairy queen dripping in crystals, pearls, velvet and lace! With hints of Victoriana…Thank you FP for making my fantasy wardrobe come to life.
What is your motto?
“Cherchez La Femme”
Sophia’s Picks:
High neck Victorian Lace dress – A must have for me. Stunning and Victorian inspired. I love bodycons with high necks right now.
Pearl Crossbody – This bag sums up my holiday mood. Even fairy queens have things to carry sometimes…
Symphonia Platform heel – I love these party booties! Edgy & Victorian, paired with the dancers dream leggings….sigh
Cashmere Romper – Luxury lounge-wear heaven!
Svetlana Cuff – Gorgeous stackable cuff. I love crystals with brass!
Image of me Mesh sequin capelet – This is so ethereal, and will be amazing over party dresses.
Embellished daisy chain crop top – White, beaded, sheer must have! I need the matching pants as well.

DIY Ornament turned into Headband
For this DIY we used the beautiful jewel encrusted ornament designed by Chan Luu. Our clever team used this ornament to create an adorable headband in just a few easy steps! All you need is a plain old headband and some fabric glue.
Untie the ornament from its hook, and then bit by bit, use the fabric glue to adhere it to the headband. We used clips (pictured below) to hold the ribbon in place as it dried.
That’s it! I love how the hanging chains give this a delicate feel:
Due to the power outage, I didn’t get to post this week’s DIY on Wednesday, so here it is – part two of our tutorial for turning our holiday ornaments into accessories you can wear all year long!
DIY Holiday Ornaments turned into Keychain
For this tutorial we used the Aziza Golden Feather Ornament by Serafina and the Dakota Feather Ornament by Alkemie – but, like the earrings and necklace, this DIY would work with any or all of our holiday ornaments! All you need are some pliers and a keyring and hook (pictured above left).
We removed the hook from the small gold feather ornament using the pliers, and then untied the red string from the larger feather. We used the string to tie the smaller feather to the ring of the larger feather.
To add a decorative touch, we wrapped the red string around the gold ring, finishing it with a knot. Now just attach the ring with the two feathers to the keyring, and you’ve got an awesome new keychain!

We’ve been gearing up for holidays for quite some time now, and the release of our November lookbook (staring models Linda Vojtova and Ruby Aldridge) confirms that the festive season is finally upon us. It’s a magical time of year that inspires a uniform of glitter and glitz. Everywhere you look ladies have out their best eye-twinkling sequins. Parties are lined with shining gems in head-to-toe metallics – catching the light and bouncing back an elegant glimmer. The world, for two months or so, becomes spectacularly hypnotizing exactly like this book. Which look whisks you off into the twinkling dreamland?

Our adorable beach designer – love the batman tee! A colorful scarf is a nice touch :)
There’s a lot going on here, but it works so well!
Keep cozy by throwing the textured shrug over a layering top like the striped burnout!
One of our designers just got this beautiful vintage bracelet.
Headphones = awesome accessory :)
Love this look!! Denim overalls over the dotted lace tee. Super cute.
I love this delicate bracelet – I feel like it would be easy to make something similar!
You can never have too many layers :) pair a slip with a long tank and a cute printed tunic!
Cute camis add pretty, delicate layers :) And the amazing eclipse necklace.
Cozy layering – with the ruffle leggings, slouchy socks and ankle boots.
Cute pin :)
Lastly, Mista French keeps cozy in his little plaid coat :)
Our head intimates buyer is one stylish lady who knows what she likes and sticks to it. Two of those things definitely seem to be platform shoes and oversized tops. She pulls the two together in a modern hippie sort of way. It’s chic with free spirited accents, like a vintage print or edgy hand piece, thrown in. Her hair is almost always down and perfectly tousled to top off the look.
Stars & moons on her nails!
The fur bomber makes the look (similar style here).
<3 the wash on these jeans
