Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:34:38 PDT

Just in time for Fall bundling, we came across Free People's October catalog, filled to the brim with cold weather dressing inspiration. The lookbook features Julia Stegner - check out those perfectly tousled waves and cute braids - wearing the brand's mix of bohemian-cool wares: lace dresses, knit ponchos, sequin pants, cozy cropped sweaters, and also an incredible convertible coat. As usual, Free People shows us some effortless, yet fresh, styling tips. Check out our top three takeaways below, and then click through to see the rest of the catalog.

Downplay a minidress with dark tights and tough, lace-up booties.
Wear sequin pants during the day; just make sure to temper the look with casual accompaniments, like a slouched sweater and loafers.
Experiment with warm, brown hues. We love the idea of putting together a monochromatic outfit with hues of chocolate, burnt sienna, and dark rust.

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 10:20:13 PDT

Put away your thick flannels - look for lightweight checkered pieces in a bright color combo, or pair your plaids with fresh white denim to make them Spring-ready.

Celeb Style: Sienna Miller

Hannah Weil — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 11:20:34 PDT

Sienna Miller's street-styled look happens to be perfect for our trip to Coachella later this week. With a flowy, bohemian LWD ($88) she kept it casual and femme, then added a pair of tough leather field boots ($68) and a worn brown tote to finish it off - she even thought of a cool camera bag to hold her point and shoot. For the festivities in Palm Springs, we plan to bring along a denim topper to keep us warm when the desert cool sets in. Just click the items above to shop a similar style.
