Don’t let those flowers, spectacles, and suits fool you, Quiet Loudly is a band that can rock. And, true to their name, they can also pull you in with their softer side as they did in my case with the song “You Were The Leaves” that we featured in last week’s Prairie Braid Video. Read More
We are loving the Military/Victorian trend at Free People right now. Everywhere you look you’ll see ivory vintage tops paired back to structured, rugged bottoms and jackets. Being the décor fiend that I am, I see absolutely no reason why this trend shouldn’t be incorporated into the aesthetic of your home! Here’s some inspiration for creating a décor color palette based on two important colors: army and ivory. Read More

I know it’s right smack in the middle of summer right now, but our Pre-Fall Preview is getting us all in the mood for autumn-feeling colors, albeit slightly. We’re feeling late summer nights, wrapped in a blanket on the beach with a breeze that’s cool and fresh; hangouts around a campfire in the woods when the sun is low in the sky; and road trips for days with no destination in sight.

Every girl wants the opportunity to shine for one day, to put on the prettiest frock and just let the world wrap around her. She illuminates and the most enchanted smile comes upon her face… it’s the dress. It’s the prettiest dress she chose to put on that makes her feel like gold and everyone watches her.
Molly Guy approached us on the stairway of her beautiful Park Slope home in Brooklyn, her energy instantly made us feel welcome and it all made sense that this personality was behind the new NYC bridal concept Stone Fox Bride.
When you walk into Stone Fox Bride you feel…
…peaceful, serene, stylish, relaxed, inspired, creative, excited and curious.
She’s carefree, light hearted and fun with a modern day bohemian flare — that’s exactly the feeling you get when you walk into Stone Fox Brides newly launched showroom on Broadway, Manhattan.
When I was younger, we had a white wooden mantel in our dining room. I didn’t get it. Why is that there? What’s the point of having something that looks like a fireplace but in actuality is no such thing? A decade and a half later, I finally get it. Read More
As part of my job, I spend a lot of time surfing around the web seeking inspiration. I have folders that are full of images I’ve right-clicked and saved, and sometimes they start to get buried and I forget about them. Read More
By now you have probably heard of our new sister, BHLDN (pronounced Beholden), a line of dresses, accessories and décor for your wedding day. Over the summer, FP Naomi and I went over to their offices, which are located in Free People’s former home, Building 15. We got to take a little tour of the office, check out some of the dresses and other samples, and took a bunch of photos for the blog! I have to say, I am not a wedding person – not even a dress person – but I saw a dress at BHLDN that I completely fell in love with! Their stuff is stunning, and we’re proud to have them in our family :)
Here’s a little peek, just for you, behind the scenes at BHLDN.
The gorgeous chandelier in the lobby is made of repurposed glasses! Love.
The dress that I loved.
