With vintage inspired designs so hot for this spring and summer I thought it would be nice to examine some of the original designs and appreciate some of our vintage selections! With 60's mod dresses, 70's prints, ponchos and more, LuLu*s has you covered for your Summer of Love!
This perfect 60's Pendleton Camel Shift Dress is a classic sixties dress and the color will go great with anything. Lately I have loved seeing cool neutrals paired with electric brights and this is the perfect shift to start with!
This summer you will find me in dresses similiar to the Bali-High Boho Dress, shown above. Pretty paisley print and perfect puff sleeves make this a go-to choice when the temperature heats up!
For the transistion from spring to summer reach for the Gilligan's Sassy Sister sweater to stay warm. I love the sienna color and the v-neck collar! So easy to pair with denim!
For cool summer nights throw the Boho Aztec Fringe Poncho in your bag and hit the road! Perfect with cut-off denim shorts and moccasins; you will get tons of wear out of this vintage poncho!
What vintage will you be wearing this summer?
Last week, we launched our spring 2011 lookbook, Gypsy Caravan, and I thought it was about time to give you all a peek from the other side of the lens at one of our shoots.
Below is the behind the scenes video featuring Forget That You’re Young, the new single from The Raveonettes' forthcoming Raven In the Grave.
In addition to the video, I also wanted to give you some photographic treats. On every shoot, I bring some of my own cameras to take pictures not only for my own personal benefit, but for you ladies as well. This time I brought my new Fuji-roid, the Instanx 210, and the pictures that came out were amazing -- take a look!

This is a location that is very close to the LuLu*s warehouse! Isn't Chico, California, beautiful?
Blogger Spotlight is back! With a focus on Valentine's Day, my favorite day of the week was on a brief hiatus. Now we are back with a blogger so talented and stylish that it was beyond worth the wait. Let me introduce you to Mandy Shadforth of the amazing Oracle Fox. This is a daily read for me and my close friends. It is a magical mix of great photography and spot-on styling. Mandy, hailing from Australia, not only makes flawless wardrobe choices but happens to be an amazing artist. Her range scopes from the super-realistic to mixing mythic images with astrological symbols. Her work is beyond captivating, so make sure to check it out here. Lets take a look at her some of my favorite images from her site.
Above is one of Mandy's casual sketches that she posted on her blog. Her paintings are far more elaborate and realistic, but I just loved this super sweet hippie-love-child sketch with the beautiful desert background.
Obsessed with these leggings! The metal beading and sheer fishnet is a total homerun and I wish they were mine!
You all know I am a serious ring freak. Mandy sports some of the best rings in the blogosphere! I am in love with the large chunks of crystal and silver skulls.

One of Mandy's specialties is overlaying photographs with images of animals and nature. My favorite is shown above; the horses and her pose are so perfect together. I am super-obsessed with this blogger and I know you will fall in love once dive into the magical, mythical world of Oracle Fox!
Happy Wednesday! Time to introduce my favorite blogger of the week! I love my job because I get to spotlight all of the fabulous ladies out there and this week is no exception! This boho-beauty is Karen of the blog Where Did U Get That. A London native living in New York, this international fashion icon has had my attention for some time! I am happy to show you some of my favorites from her amazing selection on her blog.
Karen is a master at layering fabrics, patterns and textures. She always has perfect platforms and jeans to make you jealous. I love her bohemian-gypsy style and I would raid her closet if given the chance!
Make sure you check out Karen's blog. She will definitely be your source of inspiration when the winter blues hit your wardrobe. Her blog is the first place I look when I am sick and tired of the same combos and it is freezing indoors and out! She really knows how to mix up her layers and stay stylish!
They say you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl, and they're darn-tootin' right!

Dita Von Teese, queen of burlesque and hot retro style, took in the sights and sounds of this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Dita spent the three-day event looking flawless in a variety of outfits that adapted retro glamour for life under a sunny desert sky.
(Left): I am in love with Dita's nautical-style, high-waisted trousers. Her updo is also rockin', managing a put-together look that is also casual.

(Above): From the mary jane wedges to the layers of bangles, this is Dita's awesome version of boho beauty. I love all the earthy tones on that tropical print dress!
(Above): Ladylike charm is what it's all about in this look. Soft satin ruffles, that polished hat and a pretty chain purse keep Dita looking elegant. Psssst, recognize that lovely lady with her? Yep, it's Katy Perry looking day-glo pretty.
What was your favorite Dita look?
