Free People

Two years ago, I bought a pretty pink sleeveless top by Free People. At that time, Free People was still a new brand and actually, I didn't even know it was a brand. As I started to buy more clothes from Free People, I got curious and tried to find its website, but I couldn't since it didn't exist back then. About a year later (last year,) I started to notice that my favourite characters on TV were wearing clothes by Free People, and sometimes even the same clothes! It's just so exciting when that happens.

Anyways, here are some screencaps of the TV characters I adore wearing Free People:

Rory (Gilmore Girls) shows how down-to-earth students wear simple clothes but still look stylish. Tops like these are usually available at Urban Outfitters.
Summer (The OC) looks femininely boho wearing this Free People dress, (although it seems a bit too dressy for school.)
Marissa (The OC) looking effortlessly stylish as usual. The cardigan she's wearing is made of two materials and prints. Free People is fantastic at mix-matching colours and prints in a quirky yet still wearable way.

The good news is that Free People is actually affordable and it has a website now so you can get ideas of how to match outifts creatively.

Free People makes brilliant knitwear and sweaters. A lot of them are crafty and comfortable to wear. I LOVE this cardigan. The design (the flowers) and materials (pearls etc.) are so pretty and unique-looking. It's versatile in that you can wear it for a dress-proper occasion, and you can also wear it for casual, everyday wear. Fabulous huh?

Eveyone should own sweaters like this, (not necessarily in pink of course.) They're nice and comfy. I can totally picture someone wearing that when just hanging out with her friends at someone's house or getting cozy with a book at a coffee shop.

Free People clothing is sold at Urban Outfitters and department stores like selected Macys and Bloomingdales.

  1. I LOVE that second last sweater u showed. Its gorgeous! Free People stuff are sooo detailed and girly. Their cardigans especially are fabulous. Unfortunately though, since its so intricately made, their stuff are also very delicate. So delicate in fact that I've seen ones that are ripped in the store even before it has been sold! So handle with care!

  2. I love Free people as well. I have bought alot of things from them recently. Century 21 sometimes has some nice bargains of Free People clothes. Free People just opened a store near me. Before I saw the store I thought they only sold at deparment stores.

  4. Oh yes, I did forget to mention that even though I love Free People stuff, their knit material clothes are a bit delicate and get old quite easily if you don't be very careful with them.

    Are you the new avante grarde: I have the first Rory sweater! I have the last cardigan shown too, in a different color.

  7. Those are gorgeous picks. I thought Free People was Urban's brand? Guess not. I'll have to keep my eye out for them at Macy's. My Urban is downtown and a bit of a drive for me now.

  9. La Dulcinea, she has found it! It's hard to find because it's shown in black. It's the "Kit Yarn Cocoon Cardigan." Style #: 11426004. Click here to see it.

    And I LOVE these cocoon swearters. White House|Black Market has a beautiful one in a camel color.

  10. Free People has been around forever, not just 2 years. They are owned by the Urban Outfitters group which also owns Anthropologie.

  11. I concede. Definitely. Summer and Marissa are two teen fashion icons. Way, way out of Rory's league, I'm sorry but I don't like her.

  12. i love free people! they actually have been around since the 70's and they haven't drop their style but they have updated it to today's looks. they also just launched a brand called "we the free'' that's vintage inspired. i think they have a store in brooklyn that's supposed to be really awesome and have great sales.

  14. Well, I do not actually believe it is likely to have success.
