Plan B
French Connection held a “British Invasion” online sweepstakes, in which the lucky winner and a guest were flown to NYC to attend the Plan B concert (with support from Janelle Monae and Bruno Mars) at Roseland Ballroom. The winner was also treated to a shopping spree at our SoHo flagship store to boot. Our winner (and birthday girl!) Kristin from Park City, Utah, got VIP access backstage with man of the evening Plan B. All three performers brought down the house and drew some famous celebrity guests…we spotted Mick Jagger in the crowd!

What do you love most about being The Woman? I love feeling it all!

The Heat Is On
Boston
Shop Nestled on Boston’s famous Newbury Street, this French Connection location keeps Bostonians stylish during the cold winter months. The Sydney Knits sweater dress is this week’s best seller.
Eat An institution in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay, Stephanie’s on Newbury offers shoppers, tourists, and locals a hearty meal in a cosy banquette or street-side with a perfect view for people-watching.
See Browse the aisles at Deluca’s for the freshest produce and cheeses at Boston’s oldest market. Pick up a few gourmet snacks on your way to picnic in the picturesque botanical gardens nearby.
Ride A trip to Boston wouldn’t be complete without a ride on the historical Swan Boats that grace the waters of the Boston Public Garden, the first botanical garden in the United States.
Play Home to the Boston Red Sox, nothing is quite like a baseball game at Fenway Park, so grab a beer and some peanuts and see the Green Monster for yourself.
