Q&A with our Makeup Artist
NY vs. LA style contest: Meet the NY Winner!
Last week we got to know more about our California winner of the NY vs. LA style contest, and now let’s meet our New York winner, Audrey!
Her winning photo – get the look with the all over lace babydoll top, washed vegan leather short, vintage sweater tall sock, tall boots, polka scarf and plaid and straw fedora.
Browsing her local FP store and trying out the voile trapeze slip.
Wearing one of our older sweaters over the lace trim bandeau.
Three words that best describe NYC style are: Urban, Elegant, Unique
What is your favorite trend this season?
Some big NYC trends for this season are peter pan collars, embellishments (studding, eyelets, gems, etc.) and playing with sheer and matte fabrics in the same garment. I have to say right now I am really into the sheer/matte fabrics!! The sheer look goes GREAT with a FP lacey bandeau!
What do you love most about New York?
Everyone has a purpose in New York. The energy of the city is like no other place. Everyone is full of major drive and ambition; it is inspiring to be in NY.
How would you describe your personal style? Which free people girl are you?
I have to say I am a Lou girl! NYC might be disappointed in me! I love to get dressed up once in a while, but you will usually catch me in baggy rugged sweaters, tunics, chunky jewelry and boots (lots of layering!) My friends would definitely say I am the “boy girl.”
My 5 favorite FP items right now:
Sheer Button Down Tunic, Cropped Lace Tube, Washed Vegan Leather Short, Tape Yarn Beach Sweater, Studded Seattle Love Boot
Blogger’s Diary – Collection of photos
A collection of photos have built up in my instagram like a visual calendar reminding me of certain things I did in the week.
It’s easy for me to declare that I’m slightly addicted to documenting my days, I like to capture the essence that remind me of my whereabouts, my feeling and my thought. Capturing a moment is like pressing pause on your life – which thought, which feeling you had there and then will remain there through the photo you took. Like a treasure chest it’s always nice digging through photos, the feeling you get is something else.

Style File: Assistant Buyer – Intimates
This week’s Style File always manages to look cute, but is never too fussy or over the top. Overall her looks have a simple beauty to them. There’s a definite Lou vibe coming through in the practical and cozy looks she gravitates towards. The look is usually centered around one knockout piece – a scarf, an awesome dress, or a pretty slip. She’ll then through the Lou vibe for a loop with some Candy thrown in there in either a feminine print or flirty lace and ruffles.
Throw a cozy sock on under your boots to live out the rest of the winter season.
Get the look with our Bikini Ankle Crop Jean, the Fishnet Long Sleeve Top, and a pair of tall boots.
We love colorful bracelets!
Try out a cute printed dress with tights to move into Spring.
The Voile Trapeze Slip in Tea!
You can’t go wrong with an awesome leather cuff bracelet – check out the Turquoise Studded Belt Bracelet on our site right now.

Bicycle Portraits
I saw these Bicycle Portraits on Miss Moss and was so intrigued by the photos and the story behind them. Over the course of a 2 year journey in South Africa, Stan Engelbrecht & Nic Grobler compiled portraits and stories from over 500 cyclists. The beautiful photographs have been divided into three books, each containing 55 stories as well as essays by local South African and major international cycling figures.
On their website, the photos are displayed along with the location of where the photo was taken, pin-pointed on a google map. In the books, the photos are laid out with little water-color depictions of the maps – so lovely and creative!
Go see more of the portraits on their website.
