  • Lookie Loo's Rejoice: It's Agyness Deyn's Apartment!


     

     
    Ah, the lifestyles of the rich and famous... Since I don't receive personal invitations to visit the flats of supermodels as often as I'd like, I always seize the opportunity to play lookie loo when the opportunity strikes. So, I give you Agyness Deyn's Williamsburg apartment, currently listed at $2.5 million, complete with leopard print carpet, mirrors and marble galore, and even a hot air balloon chandelier to top it all off. I'll call it ecclectic ; but just know, this is exactly how I like to imagine my supermodels living. Beige just wouldn't suit her.
     
    Here is your map, now try not to get dizzy.
     










     
    So, does this home deserve the #2 spot on Curbed's list of New York City's Ugliest Apartments of the Year, or are you ready to move in??

  • James Franco Shoots Agyness Deyn for Elle July 2011

     

    Sometimes, you just see a set of photos that knocks you straight out of your chair. This shoot by James Franco, starring the beautifully androgynous Agyness Deyn, did exactly that. Casually browsing the internet, I came across this gender-bending shoot inspired by James Franco's catalyst to stardom, James Dean. Capturing a timeless beauty, Franco's photography is moody and rich in contrast. Always a fan of model Agyness Deyn, I love how these images celebrate her bone structure and stunning presence. Actor, model, filmaker...photographer? What other suprises does James Franco have up his sleeve!? Make sure to pick up July's issue of Elle for the hard copy of this amazing artwork. I'm literally going to the store now!! Take a look below for the highlights.

     

     

     

     

     A great shot of the photographer himself, in a pretty awesome outfit, I must say!

    What do you think of this shoot? Can Franco make it behind the camera, or should he stick to acting?

  • Trend to Try: Oxford Flats

    Put a little prep in your step this season with a sophisticated pair of oxford flats. I love the look of oxfords and was so excited to see our stock of the Vabene Boyfried Oxford arrive earlier this week. The menswear look for women is on a roll, and if you're on board, you need to get yourself a pair of these cuties. Wear 'em alone with dresses and shorts, or take a tip from model Agyness Deyn and pair them with some cute ankle socks. How would you rock the oxford?

  • Summer Festival Fashions

    It's that time again, ladies. My favorite season of the year is fast approaching: the season of the summer music festival.

    Now music festivals are not only about seeing all your favorite bands in one place. Fashion has become a major staple of the festival scene in recent years. With the appearances of celebrities such as Chloe Sevigny and Drew Barrymore as well as fashion-forward models Agyness Deyn and Lily Donaldson, music festivals are becoming the it-place to be seen.

    Not sure where the best festivals are at? Not to worry, most likely you can find a festival in your area. Bonnaroo is held in Tennessee, Coachella near Palm Springs, SXSW in the ever popular Austin, Texas, and Sasquatch in the north of Washington. If you are overseas, Glastonbury is the place to be.

    Heading to Glastonbury? Wellies and cut-offs are a staple. Bonnaroo has more of a country style vibe, but wellies will also come in handy here, as it does get wet. Sasquatch is up in northern Washington so keep warm by layering key pieces. Coachella channels the LA style with floral dresses and big hats and boots.

    Get ready for your festival days with some essential Lulus.com pieces. Romp around Bonnaroo in our Dellal Day Romper, cruise Coachella in the High Tide Maxi Dress by Insight, or even pair the Wild Wild West Top with the Levi's 501 Cutoff Shorts in Gasoline for the perfect ensemble for any festival.

     

  • Trend Alert: How To Wear Knee High Socks

    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.

  • Oh, For the Love of JC!

    LuLu*s has long been a lover of Jeffrey Campbell, also known affectionately as "JC". What girl can say no to the beauty, comfort, and carefully crafted pieces of art that envelope your feet? So, it was with girlish curiosity that we interviewed the tres amusant Ty McBride, Jeffrey Campbell Brand Specialist, curator for all JC shoe "art", personality and shoe expert extraordinaire:

    Ty McBride, describe a day in your shoes.

    "That's what I love about working for a small company -- we all wear so many hats. We all truly collab to work together on everything. I do sales, tradeshows, but also oversee a lot of the fun creative projects. I'm the official JC blogger and tweet-master!"

    What's your favorite part about going to tradeshows?

    "I suppose it's seeing my favorite clients. I am based in NYC, so somethings I don't get to catch up with my clients and friends from Saint Louis, Chicago, or Texas. We have AMAZING CLIENTS."

    If you were any kind of shoe, what would you be?

    "Oh gosh. A lucite platform with bottom lights. I love trashy."

    What should we look for in heel and boot trends for Fall 2009? How about Spring 2010? 

    "Well Spring 2010 is still in the secret vault. For Fall, I would say you should take my advice on the following: GRAB ONTO COLOR! Color is huge for Fall. Mustard. Purple. Grey. Khaki. Metallics. Mixed proportions -- this is HUGE. Mix an over-the-knee boot with tiny dress for example. Masculine looks for women -- everyone should own some version of that as well."

    How do you choose what merchants carry JC shoes?

    "They choose us to some extent. We believe in brand loyalty. We try to cater to those who have been loyal to us since we started. We try to respect our clients and their locations -- we try to have FUN clients."

    You must meet a ton of die-hard JC fanatics. Are there any particulars that stand out among the rest?

    "There are some crazy regular emailers... fans who have seen a JC shoe in an airport, or cafe somewhere... and are now on the hunt for it! We got a lot of iPhone pics with a note that says... 'I NEED THIS BY FRIDAY.'"

    I noticed Chelsea Handler from Chelsea Lately was wearing a pair of Marly's awhile back and Terri Hatcher has them in black. What other celebs can be spotted in JC?

    "Chelsea Handler!! I love her... I did not know that. We are lucky... lots of cute celebs like JC. Zooey, Kate Bosworth, Nicole Richie, Fergie... One of our favorites is Agyness Deyn -- the famous model. She is often seen wearing JC on her super model feet. Also, our sandals do well with the LA celeb set, Nicki Hilton and Kate Hudson."

    What in your experience and opinion, are the key elements that make a particular JC shoe a best seller?

    "Our best sellers all seem to have one thing in common. They have to SPEAK to the masses. And by that I mean, they have to fill a void... regardless of its a cute flat, or a crazy heel -- it's strange. It's unique and what people are looking for to complete their look. If we make a shoe that applies to lots of people -- we know we are on the right path."

    With that being said, Lulus.com is proud to announce the arrival of the Jeffrey Campbell Michelle Ruffle Unicorn Heel! Thank you to Jeffrey Campbell shoes and Ty McBride!
