  • Who's That Girl?


    We couldn't help noticing how much our model Olivia (who just went brunette) seemed to resemble Fergie in this gorgeous blue dress!

  • Grammy Style Favs

    Hey, ladies (and whatever gents happen upon our blog)! We have new interns, and they are going to be doing a weekly blog! They split up this week to explore the fashion trends at the GRAMMYS! Read below to see some of their favorite dresses, celebs, and trends. (You'll even see how to find one for yourself!)

    *********

    Hey guys, this is Torrey and Michelle and we are two of the new Lulus.com interns. We will both be posting weekly blogs covering topics we find interesting. Check out our blogs and comment to let us know what you think. Hope to hear any comments you have!

    Any performer's dream is to one day walk the red carpet of the Grammy Awards. The two most important things for any artist at the Grammys is their acceptance speech and their outfit.

    Out of all the dresses that walked down the red carpet at the 2010 Grammy Awards, the elegant backless style worn by Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Rihanna were some of our favorites.  We feel that all three of these artists pulled their gowns off perfectly, showing their back but still showing class.

     

    Like always, Taylor swift looks beautiful in an off the shoulder backless blue gown from Kaufman Franco.

    Katy Perry shows off her elegance in a backless beige and gold gown from Zac Posen.


    Rihanna looks stunning in a high neck, open back white gown detailed with feathers from Elie Saab Haute Couture.

    Hey everyone! What’s up, my name is Lauren and I am a new intern at LuLus.com. I’ll be doing weekly blogs as well so I hope you guys enjoy!

    I thought Keri Hilson looked amazing in this dress by Dolce & Gabbana, she definitely was my favorite of the night. Fergie also looked gorgeous wearing a design by Emilio Pucci.

    Jennifer Hudson looked stunning on the red carpet in a dress from Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2010 collection. A similar look at Lulus, the Bye Bye Baby Dress [sold out!] makes a statement with a slim waistline and powerful shoulders.

  • 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!

      

  • Teen Choice Awards 2009

    If you caught the Teen Choice Awards Monday night, then you couldn't help but notice the variety of adorable outfits seen on some of our favorite Hollywood starlets.

    Singer Miley Cyrus went sexy punk with her tiny mini skirt, layered chain necklaces, and various bangles and cuffs. Selena Gomez wore a one-shouldered lavender dress for a Greek goddess look. Gossip Girl Leighton Meester sported a cute black and white stripe Louis Vuitton dress but earned our vote with her ruby red platform pumps.

    Hayden Panettiere was looking pretty in pink in a ruched, form fitting dress with matching heels. Vanessa Hudgens was looking as vibrant as ever in a plum purple pleated dress with a unique tassle belt at the waist.

    This event, however, wasn't just for teens. We spotted a couple of all-star vixens out on the red carpet.

    Britney Spears stood tall in in a sparkling black mini dress. Cameron Diaz proudly held up her teen choice award wearing a sophisticated grey dress with an edgy zipper at the top. Fergie was as colorful as ever in her Marc Jacobs dress, complimented by a head-turning silver cuff. Lastly, Kim Kardashian struck a pose in an angelic white Stella McCartney dress.

    Did you catch the award show last night? Who wore your favorite look and why? We'd love to hear your feedback!
