Wild Week: Bloggers Love Animal Print!

Fashion | 05 October 2012

What would a theme week at LuLu*s be without a little look into the blog world?? No theme week at all, I say! I rounded up the best on wild attire and created this collection of my favorite blogger shots showcasing feline prints! Take a look below!

Keiko Lynn: Always lovely in leopard!

Disarming Darling: Always a fox in the most outrageous patterns!

Vintage Virgin: Rocking those statement wedges! Love the fun details!

Atlantic-Pacific: If anyone knows how to incorporate animal prints into a knock out ensemble, it’s Blair!

Jean Greige: My favorite misfit, looking perfectly DGAF in LuLu*s leopard wedges!

On The Racks: Mixing prints and doing it just right with florals and leopard!

Cherry Blossom Girl: The sweetheart of the group looking perfectly polished in all mustard and a touch of leopard!

LuLu*s Style Studio: Phoenix!

Fashion | 02 October 2012

by Stephanie

We had been anxiously awaiting our Style Studio event in Phoenix for so long that once it crept up on us we could barely believe it was finally time! I had heard a lot about Phoenix’s fashion community and although to some it seemed like an unlikely place for a fashion blogger event, it was a huge success! The positivity and passion of the community was so apparent and everyone was so excited to be there. The crowd always makes an event and for that I would like to say, thanks Phoenix, you made the evening! Hundreds of fashionistas poured through the doors, dressed to the nines and ready to shop, network, and party!

Radiant Cosmetics was one of our attending sponsors and they brought a makeover station so guests could try their products and hear about the great mission behind the company! Radiant’s mission is to help garner awareness for human trafficking by raising funds through cosmetics. They have so many wonderful pieces in their line and with such a positive mission, we were truly happy to have them there!

At our gifting suite table, we had an amazing selection of free swag. Orly nail polishes were a guest fave!

Twistband hair ties offered up in vibrant neons! These are super awesome because since they are so flexible they don’t leave a dent in your hair!

Goody elastics! A childhood classic that has stood the test of time for me! I’m so glad they contributed, and our guests were stoked as well!

Guests browsing our gifting suite! EO hand sanitizing sprays were being raved about all night! Everyone loved the portability and the fresh scent.

Trying to decide on your favorite POP Beauty eyeshadow trio is harder than it looks . . . trust me. These guests were having a blast looking over the selection POP Beauty sent over!

Funk Off! vegan lip balms were super minty and fresh, and snatched up in no time!

Mr. Fun Booth set up the best photo booth I’ve seen. With a foot pedal to start and a monitor in front of you, you get to grab a funny prop, pose and get your printed photos in no time. It was a great way for everyone to get silly and make some memories.

Shopping our pop-up shop with specially curated sections based on your look is a Style Studio tradition. You follow a printed style map to find your fashion destination and then you head over to that section to browse looks pulled just for you!

KIND Snacks has been on my personal radar for some time, so when they agreed to come on out I was so excited! Natural and healthy snacks are their specialty and what better way to stay fueled for a night of shopping with your friends?

POM Wonderful is one of those brands that everyone loves. Refreshing, natural, and packed full of healthful benefits and flavors, their product is something we could really get used to having around all the time. Luckily, we were able to work with them for Style Studio Phoenix on a special mocktail just for our guests: the POM Mimosa (with sparkling cider and fresh POM juice) was a smash hit! All night, everyone was carrying a little cup of happiness and chatting up how delicious it was. What a great way to ring in the fall, with pomegrantes and yummy apple cider!

Of course we brought the spinning prize wheel! This lovely lady won $50 and is pretty excited. Who wouldn’t be??

One of the absolute best parts of the evening was having blogger extraordinaires, Erin of Calivintage and Mara of M Loves M (respectively). I absolutely ADORE these two and have had the pleasure of working with them for a while now. Getting them out to Arizona was a dream and the crowd thought so too. Erin hosted a style competition where we had her pick several attendees from the crowd who had rad personal style, then sent them over to the LuLu*s shop to create an outfit to be judged a winner. The winner got to take home their styled outfit and the runner-ups got to take home a piece each! So much fun and so happy to have had Erin there with us. Mara presented her favorite fall styles with LuLu*s pieces such as peplums, metallics, military styles, and more! We gave away the pieces to lucky winners who were happy to get some fall forecasting swag! Watching Mara speak was great because she is just the sweetest girl with a lovely stage presence!

Style competition with Erin in full swing!

Bringing Style Studio to Phoenix was a huge success and we were so happy to meet you all. I can’t wait to start planning the next big event! Where would you like LuLu*s Style Studio to come next?

Xoxo,

The LuLu*s Team!

The New York City streets are alive with style in the midst of fashion week! From celebs to bloggers, street style is everywhere and some of our lovely LuLu*s ladies managed to catch some great looks while perusing the city this past weekend.

The perfect pairing of prints and cute baubles make this outfit a 10 in our book!

We love her brightly colored off-the-shoulder dress with the black boots and black handbag!

Super chic details and one of the best styled turbans we’ve ever seen!

Swap LuLu*s at TxSC in Austin Texas!

Fashion | 16 March 2012

by Stephanie

We are here is Austin Texas and we have been swapping clothes, meeting bloggers at the Texas Style Council and gearing up for Style X, the fashion event and tradeshow of SXSW!

The Texas Style Council, also known as TxSC, is a blogger and social media conference geared towards networking, improving your blogs and photos and getting the opportunity to meet other fashion and style bloggers. It is an awesome way for us to meet new bloggers and we enjoyed this year just as much as last!

We partnered up with our friends at Swap.com for another clothing swap catered especially for all our blogger friends! Each eager participant brought two cute pieces from their closets that weren’t getting much wear to offer up as a swap for other girls. LuLu*s came armed with our cutest and most fashion forward pieces so that every participant received a special LuLu*s item to take home with them!

Take a look below for some of our favorite photos from the night!

Strike a pose, ladies!

I spy some of our favorite bloggers hanging out and making new friends!
