  • Fast and Glamorous: The Simple Chignon

     

    If you're like me, rainy weather has you neglecting any attempts at hair styling and sporting a variety of caps all week instead. Now, while hats can be fun, it's nice to change up your look every now and then. But while there's so much moisture in the air, I find it pointless to spend time blow-drying and straightening when it's all going to end up a frizzy mess.

    That's where the classic chignon comes in extremely handy.

    A low bun pulled to the side of the head, a chignon is a simple style that can be as glammed up or as casual as you wish. I prefer it loosely gathered and pulled slightly off center. Add any clips or accessories, red lipstick, and those rainy days won't look so daunting after all.

  • Silver Screen Fashion: Katherine Heigl in The Ugly Truth

    Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl lit up the screen in their just released hit, The Ugly Truth. While these hot stars wowed the audience with their passionate salsa dancing and witty banter, one thing was clear: Katherine Heigl's wardrobe stole the show.

    This romantic comedy sure had the audience rolling with laughter, but it also kept my roomate and I enthralled with the gorgeous garments Katherine Heigl's character, Abby Richter, sported in different scenes. A romantically challenged yet gorgeous producer, Abby expressed her classic taste and need for casual work wear through her choice of outfits.

    And of course there were those special occasions to satisfy our need for show-stoping dresses: a form-fitting beige dress with an exposed zipper in back sported during the aforementioned salsa scene, a little black dress donned post-makeover, and an elegant cream dress with a draped v-neck and high waisted belt worn during a dinner meeting. 

    Now, you can steal Heigl's look with similar items on LuLu*s! Take for instance, the oh-so-sexy little black dress that made Gerard Butler's character, Mike, so weak in the knees. Our Heart Throb Dress in Black [sold out!] is similar in style and shape. A svelte, form-fitting bodice and a sweetheart neckline will have you all glammed up in no time.

    With a busy schedule and a news program to get on the air, Abby also needed to stay on track and on time for meetings, deadlines, not to mention her date with the hot orthopedic surgeon, and she did it all with her sweet little pocket watch necklace! Get a similar look with our Wild Goose Pocket Watch Necklace in Brushed Brass [sold out!] for punctual prettiness!


    If you share a love of great fashion, Gerard Butler's rugged good looks and a spiced up romantic tale, then you'll love The Ugly Truth.

    See the movie, get the style, and always be your own leading lady.
