Love This Look: Fishtail Braid

Beauty | 14 July 2010

by

Braids are much loved for their style, simplicity and cuteness.
 
Fishtail braids are definitely increasing in popularity this summer, and how could they not? With stars like Diane Kruger rockin’ the fishtail plait at the Cannes Film Festival, it’s easy to see what’s so graceful and appealing about this look.
 
As far as achieving this look goes, it’s pretty easy. Sorta like a french braid, but the hair is sectioned and transfered a bit differently. It works best for long hair, and short layers can be tricky to work in.
 
 
For a visual refrence, I love this video from Pixiwoo for her “English Rose Hair Tutorial.” She makes her braid off to the side and pins it up for a darling effect. The bow headband she puts on at the end is the cherry on top!
Now to grow my hair out just a couple inches longer…

Nautical Trend: Steal vs. Splurge

Celebrity, Fashion | 25 May 2010

Lulus.com isn’t the only one ready to set sail this summer. Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2010 Collection has everyone wanting to deck out their red and navy blue duds. Inspired by our new lookbook, I’ve decided to showcase one of our new looks with a splurge vs. steal blog.

Here we can see the gorgeous Diane Kruger sporting one of Louis Vuitton’s looks from the cruise collection at an “Inglorious Bastards” premiere. This yellow dress brightens up the German actress and features classic gold sailor buttons.

Are you drooling as much as I am over this splurge?

Have no fear Lulus.com has come to treat your craving with our own yellow nautical dress. Inspired by our splurge, our Sunshine Schooner Dress features the same clean look with a bow-like top and sailor buttons. Get the luxury of the sea at a fraction of the cost.
