As I may have mentioned before, winter is not my thing. I long for the hot and sunny summer months where days are long and there is a dreamy sense of youth in the air.  Alas,  seasons are not affected by my wishes. In order to keep our heads up and spirits bright through all the cold months, we have decided to start a new series for this season, Cures for the Winter Blues! For our first post I wanted to share a cool-blue, ocean photo shoot from Harper’s Bazaar Australia. This sun-drenched shoot full of sparkling waters and gorgeous clothing is starring model Annabella Barber and was shot by photographer Simon Lekias.

Feeling cold and tired? Get energized by these gorgeously bright and sunny photos below!

Last weekend we jumped on a plane, suitcases full of all the best LuLu*s pieces, to one of the best fashion events of the year! Two Point Oh! LA and their awesome network of bloggers, throws an annual LA fashion blogger holiday party called Snowball. This was our second year in attendance and we were so excited to meet all the girls in the network and to have a night full of fashion and giveaways! Of course we brought the famous spinning prize wheel and gifted some of the hottest holiday dresses. There were sparkles and sequins everywhere! Some lucky winners even took home $100 gift cards to Lulus.com! It was a great way to kick off the holiday season and to party with some amazing ladies!

Take a look at some of the amazing event photos below!

Party-goers having a blast!

Take an early vacation alongside Belgian supermodel Elise Crombez as she peruses the grounds of a remote villa where greenness abounds in the rolling mountains, and stately hedgerows. Casual resort wear hums with a seventies sensibility, piecing together monochromatic pantsuits, flowing maxi dresses, bell bottoms, and oversized shades. Annemarieke van Drimmelen photographs.

It’s always a good day to buy a new dress, but this week we have a special recommendation from our lovely model, Kennedy… and who doesn’t love to hear what a model picks as her favorite?! The Band of Forces Black Dress is obviously cute, but Kennedy loves the box-pleated, full skirt, and the fact that this dress will pass effortlessly from the holidays into spring!
