life in a day

Posted by fp julia on July 13, 2010October 14, 2013 in features

this is such a cool idea! “life in a day” is a cinematic experiment produced by ridley scott and directed by kevin macdonald, together with the youtube community. the goal is to capture a snapshot, through many different eyes, of what life is like on earth during one 24 hour period. how are they going to do this?

they are asking YOU – anybody and everybody – to chronicle their life on one day, july 24 2010. this could be your daily routine, your job, what you’re afraid of, what you love, a pretty sunset, ANYTHING. you can then upload your video on the project’s website, and the most compelling and distinctive videos will be edited into the final feature film. the film will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2011 – and if your video is used, you’ll be credited as a co-director and have a shot at being one of 20 people who gets to go to sundance to celebrate with kevin macdonald.

ummm…..wow? i’m curious, what would your film be about?

rose bowl treasures

Posted by fp julia on July 7, 2010April 13, 2012 in fashion, features, inspiration

prior to opening our new store in costa mesa, ca, a couple of our display team members who work out on the west coast made a trip to the rose bowl flea market to pick up some props for the store. one of them shared her photos from the shopping excursion and i found myself practically drooling over the blankets, accessories and various little trinkets she found. philly needs a (monthly!!) flea market like this! i would be in heaven.

happy 4th!

style how-to! the lace & chiffon slip

Posted by fp julia on July 1, 2010April 13, 2012 in DIY, fashion, features

the chiffon and lace slip dress is without a doubt one of our most versatile items. it’s all about the layering and how you style it – and fortunately we have the girls of free people highland park to offer up some fabulous ideas! (you may remember these very same girls showing multiple ways to wear the ruffle bottom slip not too long ago!)

wear it over the ruffle up solid tunic to get a cute “little black dress” look! accessorized here with the reese woven leather belt and peacock charm necklace.

32207_439041090860_139404335860_6109083_5886140_n
dress it down over the fp lightweight super skinny jeans and calluna lace tank, with the linked leather stretch belt over top.

32207_439041685860_139404335860_6109111_4332985_n
doesn’t it look adorable with the floral peeking through the lace??

32207_439041700860_139404335860_6109112_4597662_n
this might be my favorite – worn over skinny jeans with the we the free tiger’s eye tunic over top. such a great idea!

32207_439041720860_139404335860_6109115_3393427_n
on the left – get a more boyish look with skinny jeans and we the free graphic tee underneath.
on the right – get girly with a printed mini under the slip and the medallion tunic over top.

32207_439042025860_139404335860_6109120_1277672_n
another amazing idea! throw it over the new crinkle floral dress for a totally unique look!

32207_439042060860_139404335860_6109124_7015970_n

32207_439042070860_139404335860_6109126_740576_n
and last but certainly not least – the slip adds cute femininity to cargo shorts and the short sleeve scoop front tunic!

fantastic ideas, ladies!!

step inside our newest store!

Posted by fp julia on June 28, 2010April 13, 2012 in features, inspiration

our store in costa mesa, california, is now open! let’s take a look inside…

i love how they used these antique frames as display cases for jewelry! this would be fun to do at home, too!

all you’d need to do is cut some cork board, cover it in some fabric to look prettier, and frame it- then pin your jewelry inside!

pretty vintage pin cushions :) our team went to the rose bowl flea market in california to pick up some of the props for the new store.

doesn’t it look beautiful??

night and day

Posted by fp julia on June 25, 2010April 13, 2012 in fashion, features

the girls of our san antonio store sent some cute photos showing how to style different items during the day and at night! check it out…

here is the malawi vines dress, looking cute and casual with boots, carrie’s woven fedora and a crossbody bag for the daytime. at night keep it simple with a waist belt and some layered necklaces!

two

wear the downtown date dress during the day with the v cardi and patterned seed bead stretch waist belt. at night this dress is so perfect it doesn’t need much embellishment- wear it with sandals and a simple necklace like the neon druzy drip necklace.
