New Trend: Denim on Denim

Posted by: Kathleen McHatton

2010

Denim is like the comfort food of clothing. Rare is the girl without a pair of blue jeans in her closet, and no matter what sundress I wear, my blue denim crop jacket always seems like the perfect companion.

But denim on denim was a place I dared not venture. That is, until I saw the trend step stylishly on the Spring 2010 runway.

One trick to pulling off the trend is to mix up the washes and textures. Pair a distressed jean with a crisp jacket or a light, chambray top with dark blue skinnies.

I love the two looks pictured above from Ralph Lauren and D&G. For even more inspiration, check out the street stylin' bloggers below found on Lookbook.nu!

How would you sport the trend?

How Dita Does Coachella

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?

Model Off Duty: Frida Gustavsson

I want to introduce you to one of my favorite up-and-coming models: Frida Gustavsson. This 17-year-old, 5’11” Stockholm native is a self-proclaimed geek, but is a natural on both the runway and on film. In January, she walked for Valentino, Armani Privé, Elie Saab, Christian Dior, and Chanel in spring couture shows in Paris.

Frida is not only a force on the runway, but also off. Below are some example of her laid back, but chic, style.

Want to recreate Frida’s free and easy style? Lulus.com can help with these key items:

The long awaited Jeffrey Campbell Tick [sold out!] has finally made its way to Lulus.com! This hot number makes a real head turner with its 5" platform heel covered completely in silver tacks. And I thought they were just used for corkboards...

If you have any doubts about how to style these chic stompers, take a hint from the creative and oh so fashionable bloggers below. Easily paired with dresses, patterned tights and skirts, you'll want to tac on a little reminder to take these babies home yourself!

Visit the Jeffrey Campbell blog for more shoe buzz.

A Butterfly by Day effortlessly styles the Ticks for winter and summer wear (pictured above).

Here, Cupcakes and Cashmere demonstrates how the shoe can be fancified with feminine lace or dressed down with a simple plaid tunic.

Lookbook Loves

Whenever I get a chance to peruse Lookbook, THE most awesome street fashion blog ever, I am inspired and amazed by all the creative looks individuals around the world have posted.

This week, I noticed that quite a few Lookbook members posted outfits incorporating items similar to Lulus.com! I felt I should share some of my favorites, so you LuLu*s fans can get a little inspired as well. Here are my favorite Lookbook pics for the week!

Look 1: Black Floral Tights

I love the way Robynne Mc. from Vancouver pairs the tights with her floral shorts and lace up shoes. It puts the floral pattern of the tights in the spotlight. Our Posh Lace Leggings in Black [sold out!] will give you a similar effect.

Look 2: Ditsy Florals

These cute floral prints (as seen on our Love Me Do Skirt in Floral [sold out!]) have been so popular lately! Adding a black contrast to this material is really effective. Rachel I. from Detroit pulls it off effortlessly.

Look 3: Slasher Leggings

Wow, we were all crazy about these leggings when they came in. It takes a certain kind of confidence to pull it off, and Carina Elisa Dorothea H. from Germany has got it! I love the way she makes the rest of her outfit really soft and feminine. Give it a go with our new Helsinki Cutout Leggings [sold out!].

Angelina Jolie is known for her classic yet daring fashion choices on the red carpet. And even in her down time as a busy mom, this sultry star manages to maintain a super fresh and posh look.

The simple yet fabulous black maxi dress she's wearing below shares a lot in common with our new Karlie Kloss Dress. This floor length beauty has removable straps and a gorgeous ruffled hem for a stylish look day or night. Angelina approved!

UK Elle: Street Style

Posted by: Kathleen McHatton

During a semester spent abroad in London, I fell in love -- actually fell in love -- with the city itself.

Our relationship was not always a perfect one: icy weather, crowded Tube stations, and a lousy exchange rate. And yet, my time spent there was among the most enjoyable months of my life: special sunny days spent reading in Regent's Park, the exciting night life, the awe of finding a new neighborhood with beautiful historic buildings...and of course the fashion.

The men and women in this city know how to dress. The men look their best on a daily basis, sporting suits, ties, sweater vests and even cuff links, and the women are always ever so chic in their trench coats, blazers, boots, heels and stylish accessories.

With the fast paced lifestyle and weather challenges that face your everyday Londoner, one may wonder how they pull it off.

Well, now you can steal some of their secrets on UK Elle's very own website. In their Street Style section, you can view the wardrobe choices of many Londoners during fashion week in the city and also from fashionistas around the world.

I love getting tips on how to work different style trends, from the Dog Tooth trend pictured above to Blazers and Monochrome. It's a great site to visit whenever you need a little worldly style inspiration.

Hot Trend: Banded Skirts

Posted by: Kathleen McHatton

July

2009

Skin tight and ultra form fitting, these banded skirts are all about sex appeal and showing plenty of leg.

With its inherent flirtiness, one might go thinking that such a skirt is only suitable for a wild gal's night out on the town. The truth is quite the opposite, as these skirts transition seamlessly from nightlife to daytime. Pair one with a loose blouse, a tasteful belt and sandals for a casual look with a hint of va va voom!

Whether dressed up or dressed down, this look can create a stunning silhouette if you get it right. Take it from the stars like Rihanna and Mary Kate Olsen if you need a little inspiration. Now, at Lulus.com you can get the look for a steal of only $23 with our Body Language Skirt [sold out!] in a bold black and white stripe print (pictured below)!
