Ahh, Venezia! Que bella!
Every year, this city of bridges and islands gathers in the Palazzo di San Marco for one of the biggest gatherings of New Year's kissers! The Palazzo di San Marco, being the biggest and most culturally relevant square in the city, is a great place to gather with your sweetie and snuggle up until the Campanile di San Marco, or bell tower, strikes midnight.
I would suggest making the effort to stay up to see the sun rise over the Adriatic Sea from the beach island of Lido, where the Auguri di Capodanno sulla spiaggia del Lido di Venezia takes place ... aka jump into the freezing cold water a la Polar Bear Swim.
Venice is high fashion, and the Palazzo di San Marco has no heaters outside. When I was there last year, the stone ground was iced over, so make sure to watch your step and have some cute walking boots like the Bamboo Follie 04 Black Mid Calf Riding Boot in Vegan Leather [sold out!] (great for going over jeans!).
Add a little bit of sparkle with the Kismet Karma Dress so you don't have to wear any metal on your neck. Again, it will be cold, so the Emma Pillsbury Coat in Soft Pink is a great piece to keep toasty in, and attract the eye of any cute Italians walking by!

A quality leather jacket is a classic wardrobe staple for most, and now we're seeing a new play on this time-tested look. The cropped leather jackets of Fall 2009 are fun and spunky.
I love seeing them paired with feminine, floral dresses. The look screams: naughty but nice!


The Headliner Vegan Leather Crop Jacket [sold out!] newly arrived here at LuLu*s is a great way to get your hands on the trend. I love the blazer collar with the studs. What a knockout!!

Having to try on and model fabulous clothes all day is no easy task, but for LuLu*s model Michelle, donning the BB Dakota by Jack Kava Jacket in Black [sold out!] was a dream come true!
"I love it because I've been looking for a cute leather jacket for a long time, " she stated after the photo shoot. "And this one was right in my price range!"

Indeed, at only $62, this faux leather jacket is a steal! Great paired with skirts and boots or a pair of fitted jeans, this new find from BB Dakota has endless possibilities. Doesn't it look cute on Kendra, our newest LuLu*s model? :)
