<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.kylie.com/">Kylie Minogue</a> is a seasoned diva who&#8217;s reached the stars and is now headed for the outerlying galaxies in her <em>Aphrodite </em>&#8220;Les Foiles&#8221; world tour this year. Clad head to toe in sparkling, feathered, shining, transparent, and golden numbers designed specially for her by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.kylie.com/">Dolce &amp; Gabbana</a> themselves, Minogue is living out every little girl&#8217;s dream.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img width="500" height="374" alt="" src="/images/blog/05-540x404.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Above, lounging about with the world renowned designers and flaunting her new oufit, as well as her lovely stems, this woman really knows how to shine!</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center">&nbsp;<img width="500" height="750" alt="" src="/images/blog/03-540x810.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">It is this golden corset (above) that is the base of almost all of her outfits. What a great stylistic choice made by Dolce &amp; Gabbanna for this tour. Without a doubt Kylie Minogue, has to change outfits many, many times throughout every set. This way, she just throws pieces over her gold corset for dramatic effect. See the video below for a behind the scenes of her fittings.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center">
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">You can tell from the way she interacts with the costumes, that Kylie Minogue is a true performer, so at ease with her body and its movements.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img width="500" height="332" alt="" src="/images/blog/04-540x359.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Anyone going to see her perform for the <em>Aphrodite </em>&#8220;Les Foiles&#8221;&nbsp;tour?</span></span></p>

<div><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small">I love perfume, considering it doesn&#8217;t reek or burn my nostrils. When tastefully applied, it can make you feel more glamorous, put togther and even make memories. Certain perfumes will always remind me of a specific time in my life. Getting ready to go to the 8th grade dance, my college dorm experience, that summer vacation by the beach&#8230;a scent can bring you back in an instant.</span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small">So here&#8217;s a couple of the Lulu*s staff favorites, and I must say, we smell pretty darn good.  </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">&nbsp;<strong>The Glamorous</strong></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><img height="180" width="180" alt="" src="/images/blog/Coco20Chanel20EDP20100ml.jpg" /><img height="180" width="180" alt="" src="/images/blog/9207be0da243686ad30469db9c01a0c7.jpg" /></span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: center">&nbsp;<span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">The timeless Coco Chanel is a staple of the ever posh Heather (photo assistant), while the ruby red Absolutely Irresistible by Givenchy is a favorite often worn by yours truly.&nbsp;I love to get the roll-on tube because it&#8217;s more affordable, and you can just keep it in your purse. <img src='http://blog.lulus.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center"><strong><span style="font-size: small">The Exotic <br />
</span></strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><strong><span style="font-size: small"><img height="222" width="180" alt="" src="/images/blog/nd_4703.jpg" /></span></strong><img height="200" width="200" alt="" src="/images/blog/giorgio-armani-sensi-eau-parfum-spray15298.jpg" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center">&nbsp;<span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">A great collection of scents by Tokyo Milk keeps Lulu*s model, Laura, smelling lovely during photo shoots. Kellen (Web Operations Manager) loves her Sensi perfume from Giorgio Armani. A sensual scent with exotic floral tones, this would be perfect for an evening out. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">&nbsp;<strong>The Fresh and Floral</strong></span></span><strong><span style="font-size: small"><br />
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><img height="234" width="180" alt="" src="/images/blog/victor_and_rold_flowerbomb.jpg" /><img height="215" width="215" alt="" src="/images/blog/light-blue-unboxed.jpg" /></span></div>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: Verdana"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small">I&#8217;ve only heard great things about the popular Flowerbomb by Viktor &amp; Rolf, a scent Renee (returns Dept) adores. Dolce &amp; Gabbana&#8217;s Light Blue is described as being cheerful, crisp and summery, which is perfect for Shandi (customer service) on her typical Mon-Fri work week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: center"><strong><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">The Sporty</span></span></strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><img height="180" width="180" alt="" src="/images/blog/16944f4d31f91722f421081f6cfd5cb0.jpg" /><img height="181" width="170" alt="" src="/images/blog/AbercrombieFitch8_w.jpg" /></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small">Jonathan (inventory) keeps on his feet with&nbsp;Allure Homme Sport by Chanel, while Brittani (sample girl) loves her Abercrombie &amp; Fitch 8 and even steals some of her boyfriend&#8217;s Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Fierce from time to time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: center"><strong><span style="font-size: small">The Naturalist</span></strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><img height="180" width="180" alt="" src="/images/blog/Patchouli-oil.jpg" /><img height="133" width="180" alt="" src="/images/blog/oranges(1).jpg" /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small">For those who prefer an earthier, natural scent, take a hint from Matt (inventory) and use a little Patchouli essence. I also love how both Sienna (copy writer) and Marty (photographer) use a little citrus peel zest to keep things light and fresh. </span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small">&nbsp;<br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small">So what&#8217;s your signature scent? What do you think it says about you?</span></span></div>

We have new interns, and they are going to be doing a weekly blog! They split up this week to explore the fashion trends at the GRAMMYS! Read below to see some of their favorite dresses, celebs, and trends. (You&#8217;ll even see how to find one for yourself!)</span></span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span>*********</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Hey guys, this is Torrey and Michelle and we are two of the new <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lulus.com/">Lulus.com</a> interns. We will both be posting weekly blogs covering topics we find interesting. Check out our blogs and comment to let us know what you think. Hope to hear any comments you have!</span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"></p>
<p>Any performer&#8217;s dream is to one day walk the red carpet of the Grammy Awards. The two most important things for any artist at the Grammys is their acceptance speech and their outfit.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Out of all the dresses that walked down the red carpet at the 2010 Grammy Awards, the elegant backless style worn by Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Rihanna were some of our favorites.&nbsp; We feel that all three of these artists pulled their gowns off perfectly, showing their back but still showing class.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center">&nbsp;<img width="200" height="310" alt="" src="/images/blog/backtaylor-1.jpg" /><img style="width: 173px;height: 310px" alt="" src="/images/blog/taylor-swift-013110-1-1.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Like always, Taylor swift looks beautiful in an off the shoulder backless blue gown from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.kaufmanfranco.com/">Kaufman Franco</a>.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><img width="200" height="300" alt="" src="/images/blog/katy-perry-awi-grammys-2010 beig and gold.jpg" /></span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><img alt="" style="width: 193px;height: 299px" src="/images/blog/kp.jpg" /></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Katy Perry shows off her elegance in a backless beige and gold gown from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.zacposen.com/">Zac Posen</a></span></span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img width="400" height="314" alt="" src="/images/blog/rihanna(1).jpg" /><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Rihanna looks stunning in a high neck, open back white gown detailed with feathers from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.eliesaab.com/">Elie Saab Haute Couture</a>.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span>*********</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Hey everyone! What&rsquo;s up, my name is Lauren and I am a new intern at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lulus.com/">LuLus.com</a>. I&rsquo;ll be doing weekly blogs as well so I hope you guys enjoy!</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">I thought Keri Hilson looked amazing in this dress by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dolcegabbana.com/">Dolce &amp; Gabbana</a>, she definitely was my favorite of the night. Fergie also looked gorgeous wearing a design by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.emiliopucci.com/">Emilio Pucci</a>.</span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><br />

<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Jennifer Hudson looked stunning on the red carpet in a dress from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.victoriabeckham.com/">Victoria Beckham&rsquo;s</a> Spring 2010 collection. </span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">A similar look at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lulus.com/">Lulus</a>, the Bye Bye Baby Dress [sold out!] makes a statement with a slim waistline and powerful shoulders.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Here  is Megan&#8217;s newest post from Milan! </span></span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">But first, below is a picture from the Dolce &amp; Gabbana menswear line for Spring Summer 2010, which featured lots of ripped denim and expertly tailored velvet coats on beautiful men with ridiculously slicked back hair. When viewing Italian fashion, one must remember that Italians have a sense of humor, and they love things to be totally over the top. So if you think it&#8217;s ridiculous, they probably do too! But you have to love it all the more!</span></span><br />
</em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Below this, Megan has attached a picture of a large public statue that is an abstract needle and thread. Milan is a very strong center for fashion and design. Here is what Megan has to say about the tradition of menswear in Milan and Italy.</span></span></em><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"> <br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><img width="400" height="258" alt="" src="/images/blog/DandG_1429293i.jpg" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><br />
On the dawn of men&rsquo;s Fashion Week, Milan is the city to be in!</span></span> <span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Here in Italy, men&rsquo;s Fashion Week is almost bigger than women&rsquo;s Fashion Week!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">With menswear, </span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">the changes every season come in the details, and </span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">there is rarely anything too drastic.</span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"> The focus on detail is probably because Italians take great pride with their craftsmanship, and something that I&rsquo;ve learned from being in Italy is that nothing less than perfection is acceptable.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><img width="400" height="254" alt="" src="/images/blog/ago.jpg" /></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana"> To further prove this point, I have gotten a closer look into one of Italy&rsquo;s leading luxury brands.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Because the adherance to detail and craftsmanship applies across the board for all of the Italian luxury brands, I&nbsp;will leave them unnamed, but I got a chance to talk to someone that works as a bag tech designer for a luxury company.</span></span> <span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">He was, as did others in his family, brought up in the trade of leather <a href="http://www.lulus.com/categories/99/accessories.html">accessories</a>.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">The particular brand that he works for wouldn&rsquo;t even considering hiring you without an apprenticeship for a number of years. To them, quality is first, always.</span></span> <span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Italians don&#8217;t play around with the craftsmanship of their leather goods: <a href="http://www.lulus.com/categories/99_39/handbags.html">handbags</a>, wallets, shoes, etc. They view it as something that is literally &#8220;in their blood,&#8221; and they have to do it right! </p>
<p>So for this upcoming Milan men&rsquo;s Fashion Week, I hope you definitely check out all of the details! If you find yourself in Milan for Fashion Week, check out the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cameramoda.it">schedule</a>, throw on some <a href="http://www.lulus.com/categories/99_83/sunglasses.html">sunglasses</a> and lipstick (celeb status), and try to get into the shows!</p>
<p>Ciao, Baci<br />
