Taking us on a ride, the Free People April lookbook stars the gorgeous Annie McGinty on a journey to the west coast in some of spring's best looks.

The Free People April lookbook is different than most because of its intriguing storytelling theme, which revolves around the blonde stunner as a small-town girl from Kansas who travels to the west coast with her friend Esther.

In the free spirited lookbook, we see the duo chasing the ocean and following the sun in this bohemian rhapsody-like story. The whimsical campaign also has a very [western-inspired feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frye-x-aurate), which is felt from the models apparel choice. McGinty poses in sheer tops, [ripped denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaboozey-and-matty-matheson) and cowgirl hats in the hippie series, which was captured by photographer Anthony Nocella.
