apple crisp night

last saturday night we made apple crisp and watched movies. it was the perfect way to beet the chill in the air and sniffle in our noses.







just add ice cream! oh and this apple crisp was half homemade. we bought the box of ingredients and just cut some apples. perfect for people like me who don't know their way around the kitchen:)

feels like fall

and we have been having fun decorating. i love all the rich colors and crisp, cool air. i love all the layering that comes with fall too. i have decided now that i live in the city, where we can walk to pretty much everything, i want to focus on clothes that make me warm and cozy. now if i could only find the perfect parka.

wrap party

so we ended the december catalog shoot with a traditional greek toga party. i think getting ready was actually more fun than the actual party.


we were lucky enough to have the make up artist, deana hagen, and hair stylist, patrice delaroche, help get us all dolled up!









it was the perfect way to end free people's december catalog shoot!

december catalog behind the scenes

after a day of travel and a day of scouting we fell sound asleep in the black night. when morning came we woke to the most beautiful view from atop our villa in pyrgos, the highest point of santorini.

villa views...




meals were prepared daily by our personal chef who made the most savory greek food.


this is what my room looked like. clothes were piled and hung below while i slept on the loft space above.


scenes from the two days we spent shooting... mona johannesson, who is super sweet, modeled our clothes and enric galceran shot the catalog.






look out for free people's december catalog and let me know what you think. until then, the october catalog is about to drop!!! you probably remember me talking about it here.

free people in greece

we just wrapped up our december catalog shoot on the santorini island of greece. the white architecture and blue water had us believing the place was magic. we first arrived in athens and took a quick road trip to the stadiums and the ancient acropolis. when we are shooting sometimes a few hours is all we have to experience a new city or town.



later that night we flew into santorini and the next morning woke up to this...





greece has some of the most amazing food i have ever had. these were some of the prettiest dishes we got to indulge in.


the shops in santorini were even beautiful. here are a few of their wares for sale around the island.




greece was a wonderful place to experience. i think you will love our december catalog when it finally drops. santorini turned out to be a beautiful back drop to showcase our clothes! behind the scenes of our shoot will be up tomorrow!
