Moving is always quite an undertaking, but leaving good friends behind makes it that much harder. At the end of the month, I’ll be packing a moving van and heading off to sunny (and foggy) San Francisco. While I’m very excited to live in the city, I’m so going to miss working for Lulus.com, with its great team of stylish ladies and gents, not to mention you guys: our amazing fans! Thank you for reading my blogs, for loving Lulu*s and for being all-around awesome people!!  
 
 
Psst! I’m somewhat new to the city, so If you have any suggestions of cool places to eat, shop and explore, let me know!

I was excited to see her on the cover of Vogue for October 2010. The story behind the shoot is really interesting, as they paired this fresh faced actress in couture pieces from Paris (pictured left). Photography is by Peter Lindbergh
 
It seems Mulligan’s talent can radiate and transform on any landscape, and I can’t wait to see her newest film, Never Let Me Go, which was released earlier this month.
 

The film follows the journey of three friends who grew up in a secluded boarding school in England. Also starring Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield. Watch the trailer above, and visit Vogue to view behind-the-scenes footage of the cover shoot!

]]> I‘m not afraid to admit that I’m a huge fan of makeup. When applied tastefully and with skill, makeup can really play up your natural beauty and create your own individual style. But while I’d love to let my eyeshadows and lipsticks multiply on a gorgeous vanity like Dita Von Teese’s (pictured below), I’ve managed to narrow my essentials down to five main things:
 
 
1. Laura Mercier Silk Cream Foundation – this rich cover-up is so moisturizing on my dry skin.
2. Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer – great for those unwelcome breakouts that manage to find us.
3. Lancome Eyeshadow in Mochaccino – to fill in my brows and define my eyes.
4. Almay Intense i-Color Mascara – for blue eyes (my favorite mascara by far).
5. Mac Matte Lipstick in Chili – this orange-red shade is great for warm skin tones.
Ok, now that I’ve dished, I want to hear about your essentials. Share your great finds and treasures!

]]> It’s not even September yet, but I’m yearning for the arrival of fall and all its magic wonders. Fallen leaves, smoky air and maybe even a spooky scent or two.
 
If being a little out there and edgy is your game, then you need to give the range of perfumes by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lap a good sniff. 
 
Based in North Hollywood, Black Phoenix was created by the magnificent mind of Beth Barrial.
 
 
 
Inspired by history, mythology and literature, Black Phoenix features hundres of unique scents from The Raven to Haunted to Jabberwocky. Each scent embodies a time, place and feeling to transport your mind and awaken your senses.  

Watch the interview with Beth Barrial above to learn more, and if you adore the interviewer Katie Puckrik, like me, you must check out her website and YouTube page: KatiePuckrikSmells for her reviews on all kinds of perfumes!

]]> Jo Calderone is a mechanic from Sicily. He hopes to own his own car shop and has never had his picture taken…until now.

 You can find Jo on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, due to release early September.
 
With a slick, Elvis Presley hairdo and tough-boy expression, it’s easy to glance over his similarities to a famous pop diva.
 
Any Gaga guesses who he could be?
 
 
 
 
 
 
Just in case my blatant hint didn’t give it away, there is much speculation that this handsome Italian is the alter ego of Lady Gaga herself. What do you think?

I’m one of those girls who has always admired crazy, vibrant hair colors but never actually had the guts to commit to the look herself. The farthest I’ve gone is a bright copper red, which has been my staple for the last year.
 
Wanting to change up my look and needing a little inspiration, I went on a Google image hunt and discovered a rainbow of bright hair colors worn well.
 
Dying your hair an extreme artificial color has the reputation of being rebellious and punk rock, so I wanted to show the sleek, glamorous side of these colors.  Ones that seemed as sophisticated as they were unique. 
 
My favorite is the peach one. What’s yours? Tell me about your extreme hair dying experiences too!   
 
Bright Cherry Red
Princess Peach
Go Bananas
Green Peace
Lemon with a Twist
Got the Blues
Pure Plum Fun
Magenta Magic

With the last days of summer fading and the fall season quickly on its heels, we couldn’t help but get in on this fun furry trend. But this shaggy, fashionable critter is even cuter than before because it’s faux and animal friendly. 
 
Pair warm brown and silver grey vests like our Ashland Vest and the Danika Fur Vest with a cute black dress and layered necklaces for an elegant going-out look that will keep you warm as well. 
 
What do you think of the trend?

]]> Va Va Voom! Watch out for some hot curves ahead this fall!
 
I was so delighted to see a full-figured, womanly silhouette back on the runway.
 
I suspect actress Christina Hendricks’s Joan Holloway on Mad Men responsible for the revival (left). I mean, who doesn’t find her “all woman” curves absolutely gorgeous? 
 
Even if the fall runway trend wasn’t solely inspired by Joanie herself, collections from both Louis Vuitton and Prada definitely drew from retro, 50′s and 60′s-style looks.
 
Corseted tops and cinched waists from Louis Vuitton put breasts and hips in much deserved spotlight.
 
 
The same goes for Prada, whose belted waists and tall beehives would make any gal fit to strut classic Madison Avenue.

What do you think of this full-figured trend?

]]> So seriously..how do I look?

Whether it’s a first date, casual BBQ or prom night, sometimes you just need a little honest advice about the outfit you picked out, and there’s nothing like an outsider’s perspective to give you some valuable insight.
Many times we don’t have a friend or significant other nearby to tell us the whole truth – that’s when a cool site called Go Try It On comes in handy.

This website allows users to upload a photo of their outfit, tell what outing it’s for and ask for honest opinions from other users. Users can then tell you to “wear it” or “change it,” usually with some helpful advice.
So if you’re a little unsure about what to wear on your first day of class, give Go Try It On a go, and have some fun while you’re at it!
