Art Inspired Fashion by Jen of Jenloveskev: Henri Matisse

Guest Blogger | 01 June 2011

by

 
Hey everyone! It’s Jen again from Jenloveskev. Here we are with the 2nd installment of our Art Inspired Fashion posts. This month I decided to choose a famous French painter because I am going to Paris next month for a week!! I am so excited. One of my favorite painters is Henri Matisse. He used such beautiful bold colors, and every painting is a joy to look at. That is why I chose this Seville Still Life painting; it is so full of life with all the contrasting patterns. 
 
 
 I didn’t want to be so literal with my interpretation, but I did look around for a fancy couch in a red room to take pictures. I guess we are in short supply of those in my neck of the woods. Haha!
 
 
  Anyway, when I saw this dress I knew it would be perfect. Not only for this painting but for summer as well. I love the floral print and the colors that are used, not to mention how cute the collar is. Isn’t it adorable?
 
 
 
 
 I swear the color of this dress is the same color of the background of the painting. I see lots of remixing in our future together!!

Very recently, we were lucky enough to pair up with one of our favorite blogger friends, Julie of Orchid Grey, to offer readers a chance to win a $100 shopping spree to Lulus! We asked that readers head over to the fabulous site, Polyvore, to create a collage using LuLu*s items expressing their spring-to-summer style. We had some amazing entries with collages including everything from Jeffrey Campbell to Mink Pink with awesome and colorful accessories in the mix! Sadly, we had to pick just one winner! Based on creativity and thoroughness, Julie and I decided on the collage below by the talented Kaye! This lucky lady will be able to shop ’til she drops with a $100 credit to our site.

Vintage Spotlight: A Retro Kind of Summer

Fashion | 11 May 2011

by

With vintage inspired designs so hot for this spring and summer I thought it would be nice to examine some of the original designs and appreciate some of our vintage selections! With 60′s mod dresses, 70′s prints, ponchos and more, LuLu*s has you covered for your Summer of Love!

This perfect 60′s Pendleton Camel Shift Dress is a classic sixties dress and the color will go great with anything. Lately I have loved seeing cool neutrals paired with electric brights and this is the perfect shift to start with!

This summer you will find me in dresses similiar to the Bali-High Boho Dress, shown above. Pretty paisley print and perfect puff sleeves make this a go-to choice when the temperature heats up!

For the transistion from spring to summer reach for the Gilligan’s Sassy Sister sweater to stay warm. I love the sienna color and the v-neck collar! So easy to pair with denim!


For cool summer nights throw the Boho Aztec Fringe Poncho in your bag and hit the road! Perfect with cut-off denim shorts and moccasins; you will get tons of wear out of this vintage poncho!

What vintage will you be wearing this summer?

Alexa Chung on the Cover of British Vogue!

Beauty | 09 May 2011

Trendsetter Alexa Chung graces the cover of British Vogue for the June 2011 issue looking as beautiful as ever! With soft bangs and a tousled wave, her chic bob is picture perfect.
Alexa has been a hair icon for years and has been setting trends since she arrived on the scene! Check out some of my favorite hair looks from years past.
 
 
Similar to the Vogue cover, look this soft and feminine bob is the perfect length for Alexa’s face shape. The caramel hue makes her eyes look even more blue!
 
 
Alexa had a heads up on the ombre trend back in 2009. With dark roots and a lighter tone on the tips, Alexa was one of  the first to make this hairstyle sensation a hit!
 
 
Fixing the bangs into a chic side braid is the perfect way to get your hair out of your face while changing up the style. Keep it loose and tousled for a soft and easy look.
 
What do you think of Alexa’s styles? Which one is your favorite?
