Thursday Poll: Baroque-and-Roll

Have you seen the Baroque Shop on freepeople.com?  It’s full of great items to pull off this Abbey Lee-inspired trend that we’re loving. It’s a look that’s a bit Goth with jewel tones, metallic embroideries, and rich textures. We’re loving it paired back to a day-time look, but the styling possibilities are truly endless. Which piece inspires your baroque fantasies?

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!

Let’s Get Intimate

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!

A Walk in the Woods

I am 100% without a doubt a summer person – I love the heat, I love the sun and the feeling of freedom that hangs in the humid air, even though you still have work. But I will admit, there is no better time of year for a good weekend hike than the fall. The crisp air is much more comfortable to work up a slight sweat, and the scenery is breathtaking. Not to mention, I love the sound of leaves shuffling under foot.  Here are some photos from a fall hike in Fairmount Park – a place that lets you forget you’re in a city and reconnect with nature.

Blogger Diary: A Thanksgiving Feast

I love Thanksgiving. It’s one of the holidays that my family does best – centered on good food and warm sentiments. Each year, my mother wakes up at the crack of dawn to get cooking – something she’s been doing ever since she was eight years old. She starts with the pies – so when you turn up all bleary eyed from your bed, the sweet scent fills your nostrils and puts a drunk smile on your face. A fire is already blazing in the wood oven, and we all plop down on the couch with blankets, dogs, and the Thanksgiving Day parade. Quickly, hot cups of Jo are distributed, and you couldn’t be happier.

This year, once the caffeine had hit my brain, and I was able to pull my couch-loving-self together, I whipped out my camera to document. In the past year I’ve gotten a lot more into food photography. Not just looking at it on the pages of periodicals, but also practicing it a bit myself. Thanksgiving is a visual playground of food, and this seemed like the perfect chance to mess around…

My Aunt came from Italy and we prepared one of my favorite Italian desserts – Monte Bianco. It’s made with a puree of roasted chestnuts and whipped cream.

I had to include how beautiful the sky was at sunset. Hope you all had a great thanksgiving! xx
