How Do We Like Our Muffins? Super Studded!

Celebrity | 05 June 2012

We’re all about rockin’ the studs on our duds, but who doesn’t love to sprinkle a few studmuffins into the mix? And because this summer is all about the superhero blockbuster, I’ve picked a few of the most superb, super-powered studmuffins for your viewing pleasure. So, ogle away! (And, for any comic book afficionados out there, for the sake of super simplicity, this list includes crime fighters, gods, aliens, and any other subcategory of “heroes” we may like to argue against).


The Good Ol’ Boys: They’re hunks. They fight for good, while looking good. Himbos….



Sensitive Genius Type: More substance than your average superhero studmuffin, and more IQ points too (but you wouldn’t like Bruce when he gets angry…).



Billionaire Playboy Genius: Hes got the brain, the brawn, and the big bucks!


Bad Boys: ‘Cause at the end of the day, Magneto is the baddest of the bad, Wolverine is the baddest of the good, and they’re both, hands down, the hunkiest of the hunks.
Now, shall we all go practice our damsel in distress acts?

Trend Alert: Cap-Toe Shoes

Fashion | 29 May 2012

Cap-toe pumps, flats, booties, and wedges are the hottest footwear of the moment, and with sparkles, studs, neons, and neutrals to choose from, there’s a cap-toe to cap off every ensemble you can dream of! Just ask the celebs who’ve been rockin’ them all over town: Alexa Chung, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba, Kristen Stewart and Beyonce have all been photographed in several different pairs.
Spotted on runways, red carpets, and city streets, the cap-toe is about as versatile as it gets. Pointy, round, or square toes… sky-high heels or totally grounded flats… Take your pick!
Check out some of our favorite celebs rockin’ the casual cap-toe…
… and going glam!

And, as always, we’ve got you covered, so dive in!

Haircut Crush: The Shoulder Grazer

Beauty | 25 May 2012

 
Ever since Victoria Beckham tweeted this:
 

 
… I’ve been head over heels for her new cut! And with summer swiftly approaching, I know I can’t be the only one with a hankering to chop it all off. And, as a big supporter of celebrity inspiration (I totally got “the Kristin” in 2005, ie: Laguna Beach), I put together this collection of awesome, shoulder-grazing, long bobs, or “The Lob” as its coming to be known. Some are even saying it’s “the new Rachel”! That’s high praise… so print this out, hand it to your stylist, and let him/her work his/her magic!

Looks We ♥: Patterned Platforms

Fashion | 24 May 2012

 
Now that sandal season is upon us, allow me to introduce my latest and greatest obsession: the patterned platform.
 


Prada hit the nail on the head last spring (below), and Charlotte Olympia followed suit this year (above), with her simplicity up top and whimsical prints below. How cute is that sheet music!



Now, we’ve been acquiring quite the collection here at LuLu*s, so just try and resist the printiest platforms of all!

Film to Fashion: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Fashion | 18 May 2012

As my fellow cinephiles out there can attest, some classic films have a magic about them that make you feel like you’re right there in it, watching history change before your very eyes. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, filmed waaay back  in 1919, was at the forefront of the German Expressionist movement, and the most classic of all classic horror fiilms (yes, even before Nosferatu!). Madmen, murder, sleepwalkers, and silent screams . . . Oh yes, it’s silent, which always takes a little getting used to for us modern viewers, but the striking, abstract visuals are more than enough to keep you hooked.
With something so stylized, my mind automatically shifts from highly stylized… to highly stylish! How can I wear this?! So how about working some Caligari-inspired pieces into your wardrobe? Abstract prints, sharp angles, and geometric shapes channel the silent classic, while injecting some sharp chicness into these dramatic looks!

1. Nightin-gala Black Silk Dress, 2. Spice-icles Spike Necklace, 3. Maze to Order Black and White Print Top, 4. Your Tribe Has Spoken Yellow Print Leggings, 5. What’s Your Angle? Gold Stretch Bracelet, 6. Chevron Command Print Scarf, 7. Privileged Keaton Black Shootie Heelless Platforms, 8. Matiko Bali Black Print Thong Platform Sandals, 9. A-Cute Angle Gold Necklace
