Coachella may be said and done, but the music festivals are still in full force! Among the usual suspects, there’s a spectacular newbie festival that just has to be talked about. Bottle Rock holds a special place in the hearts of the LuLu*s crew, as it takes place right in NorCal, in the beautiful Napa Valley! While this fabulous festie may be new to the scene, it packs a punch of killer artists that we never thought we’d see in the same place! This week, we spotlight some of the acts we just can’t wait to see at Bottle Rock!

“Radioactive” – Kings of Leon

“Short Skirt/Long Jacket” – Cake

“Simple Song” – The Shins

“Gold on the Ceiling” – The Black Keys

“One Headlight” – The Wallflowers

One of my favorite things to do is give myself the challenge of styling a specific item multiple ways to see how different I can make it look. I was really excited to style this rad top from LuLu*s 3 ways because it’s so versatile and can be dressed up or toned down.

For the first look I chose floral pants to show that this otherwise edgy top can be brought to a girly level too. The braid, heels and tying the top on the side gave it a softer, more versatile look.

The second look is exactly how I would personally style this top. I love encouraging the edgy feel of the top with edgy elements like a beanie, ripped jean shorts, knee highs and creepers (go big or go home right?). This is a great daytime outfit that you could wear out shopping or to a fun lunch in the city.

The last look is to demonstrate how to wear this top at night whether it’s out clubbing with your girls or to a nice dinner date. I love the shape, drape and details of the top and by making it the main focus of the outfit; the skirt, boots and accessories take the backseat. Perfect for a night out!

Overall the Cuts and Bolts Neon Yellow Top is a great buy and can be worn any way your little imagination creates for it. Hope you all enjoyed my looks!

She & Him  = Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward

Well aren’t we excited! After months of anticipation, our favorite lounge/folk duo, She & Him, releases their latest album entitled simply, “Volume 3″. Having tempted us with the single “Never Wanted Your Love” earlier this year, we found ourselves all wrapped up in the ripening sound of this airy, upbeat group. Fronted by our favorite “New Girl”, Zooey Deschanel, the album makes good on the retro, sixties sound we’ve come to know and cherish from She & Him, and you can almost imagine Zooey sitting along a sunny fence singing happily like a little bird.

I mean, how can you not melt a little over lyrics like “I know a girl from a lonely street, cold as ice cream but still as sweet” on the track Sunday Girl that dishes up a full verse in Zooey’s breathy French? If you’re a fan of dreamy, seventies-esque keyboard chords, then you’re going to love the track “Somebody Sweet to Talk To”, and the super catchy lyrics of “Together” are soon to be your next summer singalong.

Fans can catch She & Him on their short summer 2013 tour, or you can skip the crowds and catch this album. Released today!
