    Do you ladies Pose? Don't know what we are talking about? We are talking about our new fav social media site dedicated to fashion and what you're wearing. It's like if pintrest, fashion, and instagram had a child, it would be Pose.  
     
     
     
    Along with updating about everything fashion related (nails, shoes, clothes, you name it) You can also link POse to your Facebook Timeline to show all your friends what mad swag you have! Below is a screencap of the feed from your desktop, but in our opinion, we love Pose more via the mobile app!

  • Prada Takes High Fashion to the Highway

    2012

     
     I'm not gonna lie, I've been to a few hot rod shows in my day, so when I saw Prada's Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection, the little girl in the rumble seat inside me let out a little squeal of glee. Finally, fashion that my dad might even appreciate....
     
     
     
    All the initial hype I read was totally shoe-centric, and they deserve it, but hello! Look at how great everything is!
     
     
    I love how she incorporated the classic car motif in so many ways, yet makes the traditionally masculine concept seem so feminine and sweet. Think muscle car-meets-pin-up, with a little fifties housewife mixed in. Prints, micro prints, racing stripes, flames, and full-on hot rod decals and embroidery... Oh my! And the color palette! Who wants to hop in my '57 Chevy with me and speed on down to the malt shop? (No, I don't actually have a '57 Chevy, or know where you'd find a malt shop nowadays).
     
     
    But really, let's get back to the shoes, am I right? Spoilers, wings, chrome, flames, and even tail lights, plus the occasional bow or jewels? I could gush for hours.

    1. Materials:
    - Cardstock (light and dark)
    - Scissors
    - Glue
    - White pencil or chalk
    - Paint, markers or colored pencils
    - Black Marker or Sharpie
    - Lace
     
    2. Profile Photos: Find profile photos of you and your significant other. Play around with them until they are the right size and print them out (they don't need to be good quality at all). Trace the photos with a Sharpie and carefully cut them out. Pay attention around the face, as those are the characteristics that make us look the most like us!
    3. Trace the Silhouettes: Use your white pencil to trace what will be the back of your cutouts. Carefully cut them out.
     
    4. Assemble your Card: Glue down all the pieces and press flat under a heavy book. Decorate as you like!

    It began with these three cuties from Rocket Dog, then all of a sudden... they were everywhere!
    I'm loving these woven stripes, which are nearly impossible to nail down to any single name. I've heard: Guatemala stripes, aguayo stripes, woven stripes, tribal stripes, ethnic stripes, Peruvian stripes, boho stripes, Navajo stripes... the list goes on. And on..... Whatever you choose to call them, I'm loving the bright colors for spring and summer. And we have a ton in stock here at LuLu*s! Now! And it's not just us. Check out some of the high fashion doppelangers on the Spring runways.

  • Hair Care Tips for Damaged Hair

    Posted by: Allie Paxton

    I am always looking for new ways to properly take care of my hair. I have gone through so many different kinds of product trying to find the perfect one. After a lot of time and money, I am happy to share what I have discovered with you. From the best affordable products to natural hair care tips, this blog will be sure to heal your roots and leave your hair looking sleek and classic. We all have damaged hair, so here are some ways to heal your lovely locks. 
     
     
    This seems almost too obvious, but many people never brush their hair. When you brush your hair from the roots to the ends, this spreads the natural oils in your hair and moisturizes your scalp. 
     
     
      
    Vitamins are a great way to attain healthy and beautiful hair. The vitamins that promote healthy hair are Vitamin A, C, E, B12, B6, and Fish Oil pills. 

    This product is amazing and costs under $5. This is a light cream that leaves your hair smelling great. I love this cream so much because it doesn't leave my hair oily.

    This is a wonderful serum that protects your hair from damage. I like to put this on before I use any kind of heat on my hair. This has actually made my hair grow a little easier. Be careful not to use too much or else it will get greasy. 

    This is a special, deep conditioner that stimulates the scalp and revitalizes your hair. I love this conditioner because it smells so good and works really well. I use this 3-4 times a week to get the best results. 
     
    This is a hydrating microcrystalline treatment mask Highly enriched with karit butter to moisturize and restructure your hair. The price somes in at just under $20, but it is so worth it and lasts a long time. 
     
     
    The biggest thing to keep in mind is that you are what you eat. If you eat healthy and workout, you will not only have a healthy body but also healthy hair! Do you have any tips or tricks you have discovered for helping out damaged hair? Leave a comment and let us know!

  • Pillow Talk: Connecting Lovers One Heartbeat at a Time

    Posted by: Laurie Hartt

    2012

     
    If you've even been in a long distance relationship or spent long periods of time away from your loved one, then you know how lonely the nights can be. 
     
    Despair no longer, however, because all that might be changing. Photographer and Designer extraordinare Joanna Montgomery is working to get final funding for a product she's calling "Pillow Talk."
     
     
    Here's how she describes it:
     
    "Pillow Talk is a project aiming to connect long distance lovers. Each person has a pillow for their bed and a ring sensor which they wear to sleep at night. The sensor wirelessly communicates with the other person’s pillow; when one person goes to bed, their lover’s pillow begins to glow softly to indicate their presence. Placing your head on the pillow allows you to hear the real-time heartbeat of your loved one."
     
     And here's a video showing how it really works:
     
     
    I think this is such a sweet idea! Unfortunately, there aren't any pillow sets available yet as there is not quite enough money for production, but with the substantial funding it has already received and donations on PayPal, Joanna hopes to get it it going very soon - hopefully by some time in 2012. You can check out the development on her company's website, Little Riot, or on their Facebook page, which indicates pre-orders may even start next month!
     
     
    Oh technology, the things you come up with! Now wouldn't that be a Valentine's Day present to remember!
