Kristin Knauff is our style/trend reporter from Los Angeles, and this week she sent me these pics and trends from around town in L.A.!

Here we have a classic looking, but absolutely adorably done up, curly haired cardigan wearing, chic gal in a blousy frilly top! Check out her high waisted black bottom (skirt or pants) … it looks cute whatever it is!

This cool vintage or vintage inspired striped and loose fitting off the shoulder sweater is topped off with necklaces layered and mixed for a little pizzazz. Next to Miss Pizzaz we have an oversized and overprinted hair accessory that is totally fabulous. With a bow like this to finish it off all you have to wear is a black shift and some high heels (and waaaala the “package” is complete)!

Another buzz about town is mustaches… according to our sources…. mustaches should not be a strictly masculine thing. Women, embrace the stache, and adorn an adorable mustache necklace such as this lovely lady has done!

Kristin has more awesome pics coming, so keep posted!

Symbolizing royalty, nothing will turn heads or make an impression more than the color purple.

This fall, we’ve been spoiled with styles embracing the purple trend! Lilac, plum, amethyst, eggplant, pomegranate and wine are just some of the shades sported on the runway, the stars, and now on you!

Get your purple fix here at LuLu*s with our fantastic selection of purple clothing, dresses, jewelry, and leggings!

If you’re in need for a quick and chic accessory fix, I would recommend taking a trip down to the local hardware store. And yes, I did say hardware store!

Today, I caught one of the Lulus.com girls out on her lunch break wearing the cutest chain necklaces. When I asked her where she got them, she said they were from the hardware store!

How cool is that?

The girl literally went and got chains to wrap around her neck and they looked awesome. She started out with two strands of about 4 foot long chain. Then she slung them around her neck and tied them in knots.

In this picture, she is only wearing two, but I think you could mix and match these more rough necklaces with other more refined ones and you’ll get a pretty sweet mix of textures and colors to go with sooooo many outfits! Try it out this weekend when you finally get a break from work!

Oversized is truly overtaking current fashion trends, with stylish oversized tees, sweaters, and now even dresses! It turns out you can still be feminine and sexy without all the form-hugging bodices of your tradional knock ‘em dead dresses. With a little accessorizing, imagination and plenty of confidence, these oversized dresses are just as hot.

Here at LuLu*s, we’re lovin’ the Galactic Tunic Dress in Black [sold out!]. This dress is perfect because it comes in a great basic color without an overwhelming print, providing the perfect canvas for your creativity.
