This week I have been thinking a lot about winter layering and how to stay warm while still looking cute. I was recently introduced to this blog, Flattery, created by the lovely Breanne. Breanne’s blog had me visiting over and over again because she has the knack for creating super adorable outfits while staying warm in her native, Canada.

Whether it’s windy or snowing, Breanne layers up with perfect boots, tights and a cute scarf!

Another great combo with boots and sweet layers!

I love these cat eye glasses with cute ribbbon-detail tights!

I love the oversize sweater and polka dot tights!

I love tan and red together! So cute when paired with a patterned dress!

Khaki and green create my favorite outfit on Breanne’s blog!

Make sure to stop over to her site, Flattery, to say hello and get some great winter outfit inspiration!

Blogger Spotlight: Katie of Skunkboy Creatures

Welcome to another spotlight on one of our favorite bloggers! Katie from Skunk Boy Creatures is not only the most adorable doll I have seen lately, but she MAKES dolls as well! This artistic and crafty young mom has the absolute cutest blog! With the rosiest cheeks and the sweetest of vintage dresses, Katy has captured many a heart here at Lulus.com! Take a look below for some of my favorite shots from Katie’s blog!

Not only me but a few others around LuLu*s HQ began seriously considering changing their haircolor to the likes of Katie’s! We are such a fan of the pretty shade of red although not sure anyone can pull it off quite like she can!

One of the things that originally drew me to Katie’s blog was her love for vintage. As a life long lover of all things vintage, I can relate! This picture has some adorable vintage-inspired frames in the background and I love her perfect peter pan collar!

Here is a one of Katie’s adorable creatures that she creates and sells on her site! Doing custom orders for weddings and gifts, these handcrafted, sweet animal-friends make an occasion extra special and memorable. I have thought about getting one for my niece (or myself!) for quite a bit and I must say, these particluar dolls seem to carry a special quality. Almost as if they have a little soul behind their sad, button eyes! They are my absolute favorite!

Sweet pink plaid and matching barettes!

I love the attention to detail and the sweet pink hearts!

Making basics look sweet and pulled together!

Omg, are you kidding? This sitting fawn is just perfect!

Always a fan of a good cape, this is perfectly paired with mustard tights and wedges!

Super cute red heels!

Just to top off this cute overload, take a look at Katie’s youngest, Poesy! I mean, if that isn’t the cutest baby ever then I just give up.

Make sure to stop by Katie’s blog to say hello and to get a dose of a super sweet and adorable plush-makin mama!

Art Inspired Fashion by Jen of Jenloveskev: Rachel Ruysch

Hi Everyone, it’s Jen again! I am back for this month’s Art Inspired Fashion post. I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful fall season. This month I wanted to pick something that gave off a great fall vibe. I was particularly looking for a painting that had rich colors in it. I fell in love with this floral painting by Rachel Ruysch.

It has so much depth and life in it. I especially love the pop of coral, peach and mustard colors in the flowers. Rachel Ruysch was a Dutch artist who specialized in still-life paintings of flowers in the 1700′s.

When I saw this Coral Dress I knew it was the perfect match.

I paired it with this Olive Hurley jacket because I think it creates the perfect balance just like in the painting. Can you imagine painting with such detail? This painting is so beautiful!

Paintings can be such great inspiration to pull from when picking colors for an outfit. I am totally inspired!

See you next month for the next Art Inspired Fashion post! Happy Halloween.

Items Featured:

Hurley Sawyer Olive Green Corduroy Jacket

Privileged Hedy Chestnut Lace-Up Platform Wedge Booties
