Free in the Snow

Our associate Shannon had so much fun building a snowman in our backyard the other day during the snowstorm. Take a look at her and Winston, her creation!

Shannon is wearing the Free People Lace Back Cardigan over the Short Sleeve Lace Tank and the Wooden Ships Earwarmer.

That’s the best way to enjoy a snowstorm!

Remebering McQueen

Alexander McQueen was a pioneer in the fashion industry, and will be missed very much. As a brand that appreciates bold prints and colors, we’re very sorry at Free People Brooklyn about this tragic news. Here’s a look at some of our favorite pieces designed by his genius.

Snow Day in Brooklyn!

Yesterday since we got out a little early from Free People due to the blizzard, I decided to have some fun in the snow! My friend Ryan and I walked around Williamsburg to enjoy the sights. Take a look at some of our pics.

I snapped a picture of the Archive in Bushwick before getting on the train. Bogart Street looked amazing in the snow.
