Party Nails! Electropop by China Glaze

Beauty | 15 May 2012

Finally, a collection of nail lacquers for the ultimate party girl!

Brought to you by the beloved China Glaze, the Electropop collection riffs on the club and dance scene with awesome colors like Aquadelic, Sweet Hook, and Wicked Style. These brights are more than all right, they’re fantastic, and you can pretty much go crazy with all the possible combinations. My personal favorite? It’s gotta be Gaga for Green.

Album of the Summer: About A Feeling by Summer Heart

Music | 11 May 2012

Let’s kick off the summer right with a brand new Indie album by Swedish musician, David Alexander, a.k.a. Summer Heart. This dreamy collection of eight songs has a soft lounge-y vibe with hints of Bossa Nova and an instrumental flow that fares well when looped on “repeat”. If you’re kicking it by the pool, or working your butt off at a summer job, this is the album to get you through and beyond.

Illustrator: Luci Everett

Art | 10 May 2012

I’d like to introduce you to the work of Australian illustrator, Luci Everett, a mistress of paper, watercolor and collage! With a curious, Indie sensibility and a soft, feminine hand, her darling little works remind me of long summer vacations spent journaling, drawing and whiling away hours with handicraft.

Below are a few pages from her book, Pillow Fight, which she describes as, “A visual & experimental documentation of the whimsical, illogical, curious and frightening nature of dreams. A tactile book which documents dreams collected from friends and strangers visually translated in surprising ways.”

Attention Readers! Do you draw or illustrate? We would love to see your work and possibly feature it on our blog! Email sienna@lulus.com with images or a link to your work!

On the Road Movie Trailer

News | 04 May 2012

So, what do you get when you combine Jack Kerouac’s classic novel, On the Road, with the hunky star of Tron: Legacy and Country Strong, Garrett Hedlund? Basically a film I’ve been pouring over for two years straight!

It was almost a year ago I found about this heavenly collaboration, and while the filming had been complete, there was no release date. Now, just to wet our appetites, the official movie trailer is out, and the film is somewhat elusively scheduled to be in theaters “late 2012″.

Check out the trailer and tell me you’re not as excited as I am!

Trend to Try: Orange Lips!

Beauty | 03 May 2012

If you’ve ever wondered about orange lip colors (or maybe you’re already in love) we’ve tested out four orange-hues from some of our favorite cosmetic companies.

1. Milani Color Perfect Lipstick in Mango Mambo: A coral-red meets red-orange lip color that is perfect if you’re trying orange hues for the first time, or if you have ANY coral-red hanging in your closet.

2. Milani Color Perfect Lipstick in Mandarina: Classic orange with a hint of red, this color will fit perfectly in your lipstick collection and pairs well with the ongoing tropical prints trend.

3. Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Punch Drunk: Creamy and by far the orange-iest of the looks we tried, this color is a high-powered, dramatic, and very urban indeed.

4. Pixi Lip Blush in Energy: A long-lasting lip stain that is sort of peachy and has a delicate shimmer. This color is great for you minimalists out there, and pairs well with pastels.
