  • Art Inspired Fashion by Jen of Jenloveskev: Wayne Thiebaud

    Hi Friends, it's Jen again. September is sure going out with a bang here in New England; it was 85 degrees yesterday! As much as I want cool fall weather, I am trying to enjoy the warmth while it's still here. So, for this month's Art Inspired Fashion post I chose this cute, colorful and painterly piece by Wayne Thiebaud.

    Thiebaud was know for his use of heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects. I love his paintings. They have such a retro feel to them.
     
     
    I wanted play off the chocolate, mint green and coral color in the ice cream. I think the outfit came out perfect to represent the sweet, carefree vibe the painting has.
    This Tulle top has the cutest eyelet detail, and is the most amazing mint green color. Pair that with this BB Dakota skirt and it is a match made in heaven. Ice cream heaven that is. 
    Now, if only I had an ice cream cone in my hand. Then I would be one happy girl!
    See you next month!

  • Art Inspired Fashion by Jen of Jenloveskev: Georgia O'Keefe


     
    Hi Friends, it's Jen again from Jenloveskev. I hope you are all having a fabulous summer. Today, for our Art Inspired Fashion post, we are going to look at a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.
     
     
    It's titled "Deer's Skull with Pedernal" and was painted in 1936. I chose this particular painting by Georgia O'Keeffe because I was drawn to the colors and how calm and serene the painting feels. 
     
     
    I was instantly inspired to create an outfit from the painting. I wanted to feel like a traveler; someone out to make their own path. This painting made me want to explore the desert and find neat treasures along the way.
     
     
    These shorts are super comfortable to walk around in, and the pattern on them is so fun and fashionable – the colors are just beautiful.
     
     
     
    This cross shoulder bag is great for collecting all the trinkets you find along your journey!
     
     
    These Jeffrey Campbell wedges are the perfect exploring shoe. The wedge isn't very high, so they're easy to walk in. The neutral color helps makes your legs look extra long too!
     
     
    Bonus! Layer it all up with some cool necklaces and lots of bracelets and you're good to go. Whether you are a trailblazer in the city or the desert, this is the perfect summer outfit.

  • Art Inspired Fashion by Jen of Jenloveskev: Henri Matisse

     
    Hey everyone! It's Jen again from Jenloveskev. Here we are with the 2nd installment of our Art Inspired Fashion posts. This month I decided to choose a famous French painter because I am going to Paris next month for a week!! I am so excited. One of my favorite painters is Henri Matisse. He used such beautiful bold colors, and every painting is a joy to look at. That is why I chose this Seville Still Life painting; it is so full of life with all the contrasting patterns. 
     
     
     I didn't want to be so literal with my interpretation, but I did look around for a fancy couch in a red room to take pictures. I guess we are in short supply of those in my neck of the woods. Haha!
     
     
      Anyway, when I saw this dress I knew it would be perfect. Not only for this painting but for summer as well. I love the floral print and the colors that are used, not to mention how cute the collar is. Isn't it adorable?
     
     
     
     
     I swear the color of this dress is the same color of the background of the painting. I see lots of remixing in our future together!!

  • Our Favorite Bloggers at New York Fashion Week

    Here at LuLu*s, we get the privilege of working with some super talented and accomplished fashion bloggers. Both stylish and sweet, these ladies are always a pleasure to work with. Finally, fashion blogging is seen as a real force to be reckoned with, influencing trends all over the world. As a result, we have seen increased involvement from the trendsetters behind our favorite blogs. Some of the special ladies we work with attended New York Fashion Week this year, and I was able to find some awesome shots of them having a blast in the Big Apple!

    Above left we have the gorgeous Taylor from Sterling Style giving a loving squeeze to Kim from Eat Sleep Wear. Both of these blonde beauties have a style all their own.

    Getting in a group shot with Joan Rivers?! Only in New York, I suppose! Above left we have the charming Christina of Trop Rouge, who just so happens to have my favorite hair in the entire blogosphere! The other half of the "Joan Rivers sandwich" is Taylor, again from Sterling Style.

    Looking very "Sex and the City," Taylor and friends strut around the big city!

    Introducing two more lovely bloggers whom we so adore, Julie from Orchid Grey and Jennifer from Jen Loves Kev (left to right). I am in love with this picture, particularly Julie's pants and Jennifer's perfect dress! Although I haven't worked with her yet, I have to give a shout out to Punky (far right). I have been a long time follower of her adventures via her blog, Punky Style. This vintage lover leaves all who read her blog thinking, "Man, I gotta do something cool with my life!" Definitely check out all three of these talented ladies!

    One of the first talented ladies we had the privilege of working with was Rebecca of The Clothes Horse. I am in love with her style, feminine with a touch of whimsy, as seen above in her superb taste in headbands! She has truly developed her style, allowing in new pieces and trends but always looking "very Rebecca." Her blog is a must-read for those of you looking to build a blog roll.

    Once again we have Jen from Jen Loves Kev! I had to feature this amazing dress on its own! I am in love with the vintage floral pattern.  Along with having amazing style, Jen posts recipes and what it's like parenting a young baby! For all of you new mommies out there, Jen's chronicle of her beautiful daughter Rowan's growth is something to smile over.

    Above we have the beautiful Aimee of Song of Style! She has an amazing modern and edgy style. Not to mention, her hair is always perfect! Her blog is definitely one of my personal faves; check her out and you will be hooked as well. I found this picture perusing the internet on HarpersBazaar.com.

    Here we have Krystal from This Time Tomorrow. I love her! She always looks like she is about to giggle, and in this picture, I think she really is! Rocking a perfect pairing of chambray shirt and white fur coat, she is on trend and looking super cute! In her writing, she comes across as some one that you could just become friends with in an instant! Read her blog to find out the funny story of what happened to these gorgeous shoes she has on.

    Oh my favorite, Keiko Lynn! The ultimate, stylish girly-girl with perfect hair and makeup and the all-time cutest dog! This amazing designer/blogger has the sweetest style and personality to match. Everyone loves Keiko and if you head over to her blog, I am sure you will fall in love too! I found this picture in an article covering street style at NYFW on Harpersbazaar.com.

    Thanks to these lovely ladies for many great posts and pictures! Make sure to check them out!
