The popularity of the Boyfriend Pant has just risen. The Spring/Summer 2010 runway trends(thanks Chloe, thanks Balmain, and THANK YOU Balenciaga)has brought a cool vibe to the much loved – “throw on your boyfriend pants and grab a carton of milk morning scenario”
The best way to wear this look is to roll up the cuffs just a little over your ankles, pair with sandals or wedges.Wear pretty tops to avoid looking to ‘Boy’ and layer your jewelry.
Cropped leathers and denim jackets also work a wonder on this look too!
Androgynous dressing is a look to inhabit, and I’m sure you can take this trend into Fall too.
We have just launched a Boyfriend Pant shop of all our amazing styles we have at the moment.
invisible children and la blogotheque are taking the polyphonic spree, yeasayer and lykke li to uganda, where they will document a series of take away shows mixed with interviews and local events. i love everything la blogotheque does and i especially love seeing musicians use their talent and fame to bring attention to important causes like this. the documentary will be sold by invisible children to raise money for the cause – if you aren’t familiar with it, check out their website: invisiblechildren.com.
more info on the take away film can be found here: takeawayfilmuganda.com “musical notes can be more powerful than bullets, and songs more powerful than bombs.”
another fp girl asked this the other day and a bunch of us looked it up – the results were pretty funny. some of our songs were pink floyd’s “another brick in the wall,” “up where we belong” by joe cocker & jennifer warner and “careless whisper” by wham :)
so tell me… what was the number one song when you were born?
Coachella is blowing fire into my hearty heart. Every morning when I arrive at my desk in work, I find myself subconsciously clicking onto the Coachell website just to remind myself of the days that remain. It’s now down to 18 days and I really need to start controlling myself. Otherwise I’m going to be hospitalised before I even step on the plane.
We’re going to be heading there to do a Festival Free People Style Stalk, which is going to be amazing and hopefully be great inspiration for everyone who reads our blog, and follows us on facebook and twitter!
So, me being from England, I’m used to festivals such as Glastonbury which = Wellies, raincoats, lots of mud, and fuzzy hair. I believe Coachella is an epic contra to this. So Im taking a note out of Bleach Black’sbook:
“Think comfort first. It gets HOT AS *%@# out there…. expect to see lots of lingerie. Bring a bikini or some sort of swimwear. I promise, at some point, you’ll end up in a pool. Headpieces (hats/headdresses/turbans…). Plan on integrating at least one of these“
My survival kit will begain with Moroccan Oil, the heat will sure make my hair go tiger wild so I need to tame it, just incase I cause some serious damage while swinging it around!
Document, document, document the Diana F and Polaroid Land will be my BFF.
Everyone needs to have a dress up outfit for a festival, so I’m thinking feather makeup and headresses – A Noah’s Ark theme springs to mind.
Essie nail polish in every colour and some beautiful Free People items below. Now KOL “California Waiting” just got turned up!
yummy easter cupcakes topped with bunnies and chicks – from our office coordinator/expert cupcake baker! they made my rainy monday a little bit better :)

leave a comment and let us know, and we’ll pick someone at random to receive this adorable pair of friendship bracelets! keep one for yourself and give the other one to someone you love :)
for the next book club selection we have decided to read stephen chbosky’s the perks of being a wallflower. we haven’t had the chance to read the book yet, and hope that if you have, you will read it again with us and perhaps you will take away something new or add to our experience. it’s a quick read so this book club session will be short – we will take two weeks to read the book and will post things that the book inspires along the way.
and of course, if you have a suggestion for future book club selections, please let us know.
it may seem a little odd, with all this talk of spring and warmer weather, to post a soup recipe. but this cauliflower buttermilk soup sounds so heart warmingly good i couldn’t resist…great for a chilly evening.
cauliflower buttermilk soup
1 large cauliflower, broken into florets
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 1/2 t salt
4 c water or stock
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 c parmesan cheese
large pinch of dried dill weed
1 tablespoon of dijon mustard
salt & pepper
place the cauliflower, potatoes, onion and garlic into a large pot. add in water or vegetable stock and bring to a boil. lower heat and simmer (no lid needed) until vegetables are quite tender (about 30 minutes). puree with a hand blender or transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
add in the buttermilk, parmesan, dill and mustard and stir until combined. season with salt and pepper if necessary. serve in deep bowls. this should make about 4 large servings.
i’m in awe over this photography by alexandra valenti. sunsoaked and infused with bohemian spirit, her images evoke summer and hikes in the woods, cooling off in hidden springs, and backyard barbecues with friends. i want to step inside these photos and be a part of them.
