Have you guys heard about BonLook? If you haven't, you are going to be so excited! You can get prescription lenses and frames of your choice starting at just $99! As a lifetime wearer of corrective lenses and contacts, I have always been excited to get new glasses, but so bummed when I've had to shell out several hundred dollars for frames and lenses. The expense has made getting a new pair sort of a special occasion, not to mention having to be so careful with them! Does anyone else remember breaking their glasses and having to explain THAT to Mom and Dad? Well, fret no more, because now at such great prices you can build an "eyewear wardrobe" so you have choices depending on your mood!

BonLook sent me a pair of their awesome, Drink the Kool-Aid frames in black and clear. I loved this look because they remind me of horn-rimmed styles from the '60s, kind of like James Dean. If anything reminds me of either of those two things, I AM SOLD.

I created an account on their site, entered in my prescription information, and then patiently waited for my glasses to arrive. I was so stoked when they arrived only a few days later! Let me tell you that this pair of complete glasses for $99 goes above and beyond in the quality department. I have paid a TON of money for "designer" frames and they were not as well made or sturdy as these adorable glasses. I love the black and clear coloring with the classic vintage-inspired styling. I have had these for a few weeks and they are so comfortable! I get a ton of compliments on them. My prescription is just right, too! I will definitely order from them in the future; such a great value!

Today, we have partnered up with BonLook.com to offer a very special contest to our readers! In just a few steps, you can be entered to win a $99 voucher from BonLook and a $99 voucher to LuLu*s!

While in Austin, at Style X, I saw some rad street style that I had to photograph and post, just for you! These ladies (and a few gents) mixed prints, added just the right amount of studs and rocked cut-offs in perfect Austin spring style! These are my favorites and I hope you enjoy their awesome style as much as I did! Take a look below and make sure to tell me who your favorite was.

Anyday is the perfect day for denim cutoffs, especially when paired with dark tights.

A pop of color is perfect for this Spring. I especially love this neon lace dress on the left!

Denim vest and florals, denim-on-denim with nude shoes, perfection!

Super sick studs, fringe, ripped tights and sequins for edgy looks. Love both of these outfits.

Hats, boots, and denim, oh my!

These guys have their own rad style. Shades, polished shoes and a touch of accessories.

Vintage inspired and edgy. Love the highwaisted shorts, body-con skirt and printed jumper.

Timeless black-on-black and layered jewelry.

Pretty prints and pops of color.

Wild animal prints leggings and print-mixing layers make these outfits fun and different.

Hope to see you and snap your street style at next years Style X!

A LuLu*s Photo Shoot by Lucia Pang!

Posted by: Stephanie Gaito

November

2011

You may remember a while back that I was so excited to feature a young talent straight from Australia! Lucia Pang, only 17 years old, has created a magical spread of photos featuring LuLu*s items, and I am so excited to share them with you! Take a look below for some fantastic photos and an exclusive interview below!

I love this photo with the adorable "yeah" flag! So cute.

Similar Blazer in Red

I love the collegiate vibe of these photos!

Similar Tunic in White

Interview with Lucia!

BIO: I am seventeen years of age and a fashion, commercial, and portrait photographer based in Sydney, Australia. I started taking pictures when I kind of realized that I needed to start documenting in some way or another. I don’t have the best memory, and there have been many moments when I’ve been too scared to blink because I know I just may let go unintentionally of something that later on, I will miss. Since then, I have developed a larger than life passion for it and it has led me to working with incredible artists from all around the world.

You are such a young talent; how did you get into photography?

I got into photography about two years ago. It was summer time, I had newly received a camera, and I just thought it would be interesting to start experimenting and photographing my life. I took pictures of my friends, and we would play with styling. It started and built from there, and I've quickly grown such a love for it since.

How would you describe your style of photography?

I always say I shoot “fashion, faces, life and love” because they are the most special to me. To be honest, I still feel like I’m trying to find my style, and it’s definitely been more defined than when I first started, which was then all about experimenting and seeing what I liked and what I don’t like, what worked and what didn’t. Right now though, all I like want to do is capture spontaneity and realness.

What kind of things inspire you?

Strangers on the streets, energy, and new places tend to inspire me the most. I’m very fascinated with human habits, and I get an incredible amount of ideas just being in a different environment. New York is pretty responsible for a lot of ideas in my head, some still in the progress of transferring to photographs!

Lucia, how did you hear about LuLu*s?

I’ve heard about Lulu*s a while back ago while I was hardly into my teenage years from a magazine that listed their personal favourite online stores.

What made you want to work with LuLu*s specifically?

One of the things I love about the store is that it’s got so much variety and that allows endless concepts to come into mind. Everything from the clothes and the atmosphere of LuLu*s stood out to me.

What kind of vibe did you want to capture with this photo shoot?

I wanted to have the vibe that Lulu*s already has, which is all about youth and having fun. We shot in a house belongs to a friend of a friend one morning and the location, with a wall shelf of books and beautiful furniture, helped significantly to establish the collegiate theme of the photo shoot.

What would be your dream photo shoot?

My dream shoot would be more of documentary style, no makeup, no pressure, just following a few friends running away and having fun during the summer. I’d always love to have a bonfire on the beach or just go on a drive out of town and just photograph every day life and the strangers we meet along the way.

Thanks so much for working with us, Lucia!

Make sure to stop by her site for more pretty pictures and endless inspiration!

Art Inspired Fashion by Jen of Jenloveskev: Rachel Ruysch

Posted by: Stephanie Gaito

October

2011

Hi Everyone, it's Jen again! I am back for this month's Art Inspired Fashion post. I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful fall season. This month I wanted to pick something that gave off a great fall vibe. I was particularly looking for a painting that had rich colors in it. I fell in love with this floral painting by Rachel Ruysch.

It has so much depth and life in it. I especially love the pop of coral, peach and mustard colors in the flowers. Rachel Ruysch was a Dutch artist who specialized in still-life paintings of flowers in the 1700's.

When I saw this Coral Dress I knew it was the perfect match.

I paired it with this Olive Hurley jacket because I think it creates the perfect balance just like in the painting. Can you imagine painting with such detail? This painting is so beautiful!
