  My first day at Lulus.com, a few months ago, I kept noticing all the girls wearing these rad gold painted leather feather earrings. Funny thing is I was too shy to ask them where they got them. I finally got the answer to my earrings question when I was given a new style leather fringe earring to describe and put up online (the Out of Sight Fringe Earrings).... and I found out that the wonderfullll earrings (that remind me of some kind of urban warrior woman) are made by Claire Fong who is actually a Chico, California local! (in case you don't know that is where Lulus was born and is still located) How sweet is that! Soooo then the other night I was hanging out with my cousin, Kyle Delmar, who is also a local photographer and who showed up but Claire Fong! I got to see her in action and snapped this picture while she was making the most recent shipment of Sequoyah Double Feather Earrings and Tiger Lily Earrings for Lulus.com.

   

  I was talking to them for a little bit when I realized that Claire also makes these really cool oversized bows to wear in your hair and bow earrings (which she is wearing in this picture). They reminded me instantly of the trend pictures that Kristin Knauff sent me from LA and that I used in a blog last week. My cousin recently shot some of Claire's accessories and this is my favorite picture of her work yet. Here the model is wearing one of Claire's bows and the Out of Sight Fringe Earrings.

  

  How much fun is that!! Accessories to really, actually brighten your day!

  A new fashionista is making her way to Wednsday nights on Glee! Actress Jayma Mays plays Emma Pillsburry, the guidance counselor on Fox's new series Glee. We couldn't help but gush about her character's adorable style, which is a combination of vintage, prep and a little whimsy.

  

  On a school day, you'll usually find Emma sporting a feminine blouse, colorful cardigan, high waist skirt and an eye-catching accessory. This combined with her impeccably styled red hair and charming personality has made her a fashion favorite, winning the hearts of vintage-lovers everywhere. Steal her style with similar items here at Lulus.com! Here's what I think Emma would be eyeing on our website after a day with the Glee Club:

  I now present our favorite fan the wondrous, the beautiful, and the charming Sarah Darling! Here is Sarah Darling's tale of finding Lulus.com, music, writing, and her calling.
  

  

  When I travel for music I always grab tons of magazines for the road. I happened to grab a people stylewatch about 6 months ago and my eyes caught this really cute dress. It said it was from Lulus.com! I'm a dress freak and a girly girl. When I got to my hotel room I checked out the site and ended up buying a ton of stuff. I fell in love with lulus right from the start!  My favorites are the Love Fool Dress and my Miss Me jeans! I like jeans with a little bling!  Ever since I was a little girl I was into fashion.  I've never been afraid of color and I consider my look very classic. I have always loved wearing dresses. I think it's because I am a fan of the 40's. My favortie designer ever is Betsey Johnson if that says anything about me. I grew up a small town girl that loves fishing, baseball and the outdoors, but I might be wearing a fancy dress while doing it. ha ha. I'm the type of girl that wears cute stuff while I  cook!  I am a fan of women dressing up and feeling feminine! As I get older, I've been doing a lot more accessorizing. I'm totally obsessed with scarves right now. I think I might have a hundred!  I'm loving the tights and legging with dresses. I think that will always be in style!

   Music has always been a part of who I am. I was born singing I swear. Been wanting to do this since I can rememeber. My music is very real and I consider my songs little stories of my life. When I write a song, I put my heart into it. I started writing at age 23. I moved to Nashville at 20 and it took a failed relationship and just being away from my family to really inspire me to start writing music. "Jack Of Hearts" was written about a boy that I fell madly in love with. It just so happened that when we were having problems in our relationship, a friend into astrology, said that he was the jack of hearts. Apparently we all have a card that lines up with our birthday. Check out your card. It's so much fun! I wrote a little song about it anyway! My favorite part of making the album was seeing my songs come to life. You are so much more personally invested when the songs are yours and your diary. My goal is to always move people. That's what music is all about to me. I consider it my gift in life.

  Sarah Darling's music video for Jack of Hearts (above) is one of the top 50 Music Videos of 2009 on Great American Country... soooo ladies, go vote for Sarah Darling so her video moves to #1!!!!

• Get Glowing, Gorgeous Skin

  Posted by: Kathleen McHatton

  Beautiful skin with a healthy glow never goes out of style. Below are pics of celebrities that I absolutely admire for the radiance of their skin. From the flawless luminescence of Dita Von Teese, to the sun kissed glow of Jessica Alba and the dewiness of Liv Tyler, there is much evidence to show that a soft, candlelight glow can go a long way in enhancing your look.

  

  Step One: Make Healthy Lifestyle Choices
  

  • DRINK PLENTY OF WATER: Water refreshes the skin and keeps it hydrated and dewy. Have a glass first thing in the morning to wake up your complexion.
  • GET PLENTY OF SLEEP: Nothing dulls down your skin like sleep depravation. Get enough rest each night and your skin will be ready to rise and shine.
  • EAT SMART: This one is a no brainer. Your skin needs to be nourished from the inside out. Cut back on refined sugars and starches while stocking up on whole grains, fruits, veggies, and stomach friendly probiotics like yogurt and kefir. All will keep your digestion system running efficiently while delivering nutrients to the skin.

  Step Two: Adopt a Pro-Active Skin Care Regimen
  

  • EXFOLIATE: Exfoliating 2-3 times a week will remove dead skin cells, allowing younger skin to shine through. It will also help your foundation glide on smoother. Try the Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser by Yes to Carrots or Biore's Refresh Daily Cleansing Cloths if your skin is more delicate.
    
  • WASH BEFORE BED: Never, never, ever go to bed with a day's worth of makeup on. Your foundation and eye makeup will cake, smear and clog pores. Get into the habit of washing your face before bed, even if it's a late night. Your skin will thank you in the morning.
    
  • HYDRATE: If you're in the market for skin care products, moisturizer is the thing you want to spend your money on. Choose a moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type and use it twice a day. It will plump your skin and seal in moisture. My favorite moisturizers of all time: Mario Badescu's Buttermilk Moisturizer and Kinerase's Clear Skin Moisture Light.

  Step Three: Try These  Makeup Bag Tricks

  •  Get a luminescent glow by dusting your face with a sheer, light reflecting powder to set your foundation or light up bare skin. One such powder that is gaining much popularity is Make Up For Ever's HD Micro Finish Powder. If it's made to make you look flawless in HD, then just imagine what it can do for a day at class or work.
    
  • Apply a highlighter to places where light reflects naturally on your face. I like to press Stila's Eyeshadow in Starlight on the tops of the cheekbones, down the nose, at the cupid's bow of the lip, and at the brow bone for a radiant lift.
    
  • if you're skin is starting to dull by mid-day, boost your completion with a spritz of hydration. I love love love Mario Badescu's Facial Spray It will give your skin a dose of dewy while putting new life back into your foundation.

• Trend Alert: How To Wear Knee High Socks

  Posted by: Kathleen McHatton

  No longer just a uniform accessory for school girls, knee high socks are making a big comeback this season for women of all ages. Spied constantly on the stars and repeatedly on the set of Gossip Girl, these socks are truly strutting their stuff! The look is so easy, simple and cute. These socks especially make a great transition piece for fall, allowing you to transform shorts or a skirt into a colorful, weather appropriate outfit. I love them paired with a sophisticated oxford heel or cute bootie, as seen on Blake Lively below. They also make a perfect couple with the growing trend of tall boots as seen on Victoria Beckham and Jessica Alba (below).

  

  Available in many different colors and prints, these stylin' socks are taking the center stage when it comes to fall wardrobes everywhere. If you want in on the trend, check out our new collection of knee highs. My favorites? The Argyle Addict Knee High Socks in Brown and the Kawaii Crocheted Knee High Socks in Teal.

  And now presenting MEGAN JONES, our new voice from abroad on all topics concerning fashion, traveling, and living life to the fullest! Megan studies Fashion Design at Pratt Institute, but is currently on exchange at Nuova Accademica di Belli Arti, in Milan, Italy. Megan admits that she "has become addicted to traveling and loves experiencing new cultures".
  

  

  I met Megan during my last year at Pratt. At that time Megan had already (she is just now a junior!!) interned for Flip Dress, an evening dress company and Marianne Novobatzky, a courtier in NYC. She had also worked as an assistant to the Fashion Department at Pratt Institute. At the time Megan was interested in studying abroad and wanted to hear first hand accounts of what it was like etc. I would tell her tales from my Milan experience while I worked on my senior collection in the studio. Soon enough she had gotten accepted to go abroad and now, well, she already speaks eats and breathes Italian! We are going to be hearing from Megan as much and as often as she wants to reveal her style, fashion, and traveling finds with us! So stay tuned and keep posted on our blog to see what our new Lulus.com traveling fashionista finds for us!
