We thought it’d be fun to bring forward and introduce some of our life at the Lulus.com warehouse to our customers in a series of behind the scenes webisodes!

Here is the sneak peek video to the upcoming webisode series where we will introduce behind the scenes of our team to you.

Keep posted for weekly updates introducing the different people and departments within the Lulus.com warehouse that work together to get you your clothes!!

Ciao ciao ciao from Italy!! After Croatia, Chelsea and I headed over to Italy.

We flew to Pisa for the night, where we stayed long enough to see the leaning tower, and then jetted over to the West coast.

Our destination was Riomaggiore located in the sleepy coastal towns of Cinque Terre (translates as the five lands in English). The Cinque Terre are five small towns connected by hiking paths. Tourists and backpackers go there to spend the day hiking and swimming in the summer heat.

The trails wind along the coastline and are set into the steep hillside making for one of the most beautiful hikes you could imagine.

Above is the quaint harbor you walk through to get to the water where there is a nice pebble beach. Below Chelsea is wearing the Pamela Body Suit by Alternative Apparel tucked into a high waisted skirt and some sandals from Lulus.com!

 We happened to arrive in Italy in the middle of an intense heat wave so me and Chelsea made sure we kept cool eating lots of Gelato! 

 When the sun set over the ocean it was a remarkable view that we won’t soon forget.

One of my favorite things about going out in new places is dressing up and the nights spent in Hvar, Croatia on my holiday to Europe were just perfect! It was warm enough for dresses but cool enough for jeans and I finally got to wear my Machinery Dress by RVCA! 

We sported our gladiator sandals with jeans and got to wear our Collective Concepts patterned dresses with brightly painted fingernails and wedged sandals.

Keep in mind that when you’re on vacation you can literally wear whatever you like and you don’t have to see anyone ever again if you don’t want to!!

NIGHT 1:

Chelsea and I went out to a lovely dinner alongside the harbor with our friend Alex (whom we met on the ferry). They enjoyed sea food while I ate some Italian inspired gnocchi (a potato dumpling pasta type thing that is amazing!!). 

 After dinner we went out for drinks at “the” Carpe Diem Bar overlooking the water in the harbor. 

 Here we are sporting Lulus.com and Claire Fong exclusive earrings with our new friends!

NIGHT 2:

On our second night after spending a wonderful day in the sun we went out to a small night club tucked into the hillside of Hvar and just a short (5 min) walk from the harbor where all the restaurants and bars are. 

I wore the Bamboo Sherry 75 Sand Wedge Me in Cuffed Thongs both nights and they were totally easy to walk and dance in.  

And last but not least the song below followed us from dinner to bar to night club throughout Hvar and I couldn’t help but share it with you guys! 

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE to travel. Although it costs me an arm and a leg (quite literally) I really don’t care and I am always headed out the door for some new place searching for some new adventure. This year one of my dear friends Serine, one of the first Lulus.com employees and models moved away to begin a life in London and I decided I had to go visit her. Ironic that I only ended up in London for two days with her but I will be back to visit the UK soon enough!

SO, after spending all of my precious pennies on self indulgent adventures around the world I am here to show you just how important traveling is!! 

FIRST STOP: Zadar, Croatia

DAY 1: 

I arrived in London to meet up with my traveling companion Chelsea after she’d just spent two weeks volunteering in rural Kenya. After being in London for a quick few hours Chelsea and I got on the plane (we highly recommend Ryanair for this!) and flew on over to Zadar, Croatia. After finally arriving at our hostel (book these at hostels.com) we went to dinner in a tiny coastal town overlooking a very quaint harbor. 

Below is a picture of the harbor that welcomed us upon our arrival in Hvar, Croatia. 

DAY 2:

We head down the coast from Zadar to catch a ferry at our next destination in Split, Croatia after a night of much needed rest (I had been traveling without sleep for 2 days). FYI it takes about 1:30 hours to get from Zadar to Split where there are ferries that leave all the time to the islands nearby. Our destination was the island Hvar (well known for its night life and beautiful beaches). The ferry from Split to Hvar was a quick hour long ride through islands and right alongside the scenic coastline. 

Below is the view from the balcony at our hostel (Orange Hostel) and a pic of the gorgeously clear water!

Chelsea and I at lunch in the piazza before heading out to the beach! (Yes we are wearing all Lulus.com cute dresses as bathing suit cover ups!)

I should have been more specific about the “beach” in Croatia because the beach there isn’t sandy and white like those in California but rocky and reefy. It makes for a little discomfort when trying to get in and out of the water however, its too beautiful to care!!

This is Chelsea basking in the sun and floating in the crystal clear water at the same time! The water is so salty that you literally float like a floaty toy!

One of the beach bars with sun bathing chairs galore!

OK ladies after seeing these pictures of the first two days in Croatia who isn’t tempted to head on over to Hvar for a week of summer fun??? 

Keep posted for more pictures of night life in Croatia, as well as from Italy, London, and Chelsea’s trip to Kenya!
