It Girl: Jemima Kirke

Brianne — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:46:06 +0000

You may know Jemima Kirke from HBO’s hit show Girls, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg for this It Girl! Not only does she rock it as an artist and an actress, but we love Kirke for her uber cool and carefree fashion sense.Boho Beauty: With her long locks full of beachy waves, and an apparent love for crushed velvet and printed silks, Jemima Kirke is a true Boho beauty! With a look that’s often ethereal, but with a touch of rock and roll, she would surely fit in at your favorite festival.

About Face: Kirke tends to rock a more natural look by sporting a perfectly stained pout while going easy on the eye makeup.

Artistic Vision: Jemima Kirke fell into acting by accident and considers herself an artist first and actress second, her main squeeze being oil and watercolor portraits. In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Kirke says that her particular style of painting “keeps the reaction immediate and free. Working this way allows me not to be exacting or to second guess myself.”

Character Counts: The character “Jessa” on Girls is based on Kirke herself, and she openly admits to her time spent as a wild child. At age 27, Kirke is now married and a mother of two, with successful careers as both an artist and actress.

Musical Muse: Nicki Bluhm

I first discovered Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers on Youtube. A friend of mine, who knew how much I loved Hall and Oates, sent me the band’s cover of “I Can’t Go for That”. Let’s just say they had me at the kazoo solo (watch the video below, you’ll know what I mean).

Nicki just released her solo album Driftwood last moth, and is on tour now! Check out her website for more goodness!

Cara — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 01:52:00 +0000

Last week, we launched our spring 2011 lookbook, Gypsy Caravan, and I thought it was about time to give you all a peek from the other side of the lens at one of our shoots.

Below is the behind the scenes video featuring Forget That You’re Young, the new single from The Raveonettes’ forthcoming Raven In the Grave.

In addition to the video, I also wanted to give you some photographic treats. On every shoot, I bring some of my own cameras to take pictures not only for my own personal benefit, but for you ladies as well. This time I brought my new Fuji-roid, the Instanx 210, and the pictures that came out were amazing — take a look!

This is a location that is very close to the LuLu*s warehouse! Isn’t Chico, California, beautiful?

Blogger Spotlight is back! With a focus on Valentine’s Day, my favorite day of the week was on a brief hiatus. Now we are back with a blogger so talented and stylish that it was beyond worth the wait. Let me introduce you to Mandy Shadforth of the amazing Oracle Fox. This is a daily read for me and my close friends. It is a magical mix of great photography and spot-on styling. Mandy, hailing from Australia, not only makes flawless wardrobe choices but happens to be an amazing artist. Her range scopes from the super-realistic to mixing mythic images with astrological symbols. Her work is beyond captivating, so make sure to check it out here. Lets take a look at her some of my favorite images from her site.

Above is one of Mandy’s casual sketches that she posted on her blog. Her paintings are far more elaborate and realistic, but I just loved this super sweet hippie-love-child sketch with the beautiful desert background.

Obsessed with these leggings! The metal beading and sheer fishnet is a total homerun and I wish they were mine!

You all know I am a serious ring freak. Mandy sports some of the best rings in the blogosphere! I am in love with the large chunks of crystal and silver skulls.

One of Mandy’s specialties is overlaying photographs with images of animals and nature. My favorite is shown above; the horses and her pose are so perfect together. I am super-obsessed with this blogger and I know you will fall in love once dive into the magical, mythical world of Oracle Fox!

Girl of the Golden West

Kathleen McHatton — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000

They say you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl, and they’re darn-tootin’ right!

Even with my affinity for red lipstick and prim pencil skirts, those California country roots start to show whenever I hear a banjo play or spy some hot leather jacket with fringe trim at a Western-supply store.

This summer and fall, get back to rugged independence, boho-prints, cow girl boots, Southwestern spice, floor-sweeping prairie dresses, free-falling feathers, dangling fringe accents, sunny skies, an open road and an adventurous heart.

All photos found via Souvenirs photo blog under “Into the Wild West I,” featuring photography from Harper Smith. Get your Western-style kicks here at Lulus*s with a couple of my favorites: the Portola Sweater Wrap, the Santa Fe Fringe Earrings, and the Honky Tonk Handbag!
