Hi everyone! It’s Jen from jenloveskev and I am super excited about this new feature here on the Lulu’s blog. I get asked all the time where I get my fashion inspiration and my number one answer is from Art. I think it’s fun to look for fashion inspiration in unlikely places. As an art/art history major in college I soaked it up. For this first Fashion from Art post, I chose Joseph Cornell. Joseph Cornell was an American Artist and one of the pioneers of Assemblage art. Assemblage is a three-dimensional composition made from putting together found objects.

This is why I love him so much. I have always been a collector, I LOVE junk. I will find rusty metal on the ground and I pick it up to take home because it looks cool. This has transferred into my style as well. I love mixing patterns, textures and styles. Untitled (The Hotel Eden) is a great example of that. There are different materials and textures all while staying sort of neutral.

I decided this pretty Snickerdoodle Cream Blouse worked great because of the eyelet mixed with the Chiffon fabric and ruffles. It has dimension.

I decided to keep everything neutral in my outfit and add a pop of color with my green socks just like that cute bird.

The added jewelry works so well (especially the necklace) to add a sort of constructed feel to a very feminine outfit.

All in all I think this was a great representation of one of my favorite pieces of art. 

See you next month!

Wondering what to wear for your upcoming holiday parties? We all want to dress to impress this season, but with so many choices it can be difficult. I always try to stick to a theme, and it is usually a bright color and black mixed together in a festive way. If you need some ideas, check out the dresses below with some holiday pictures for inspiration.

If the bright lights and colorful ornaments appeal to you, try the Bat Your Lashes One Shoulder Coral Pink Dress. The eye-catching pink is festive enough for any party and the dramatic sleeve detail will set you apart from everyone else!

If you are inspired by snowy streets and glittering stars, you may be more inclined to choose an innocent, white dress. This beauty, the Swan Lake White Dress, is the epitome of girlie and pretty sweetness! Layers of white ruffles and the perfect sweet heart neckline make this the ideal holiday party dress.

Perhaps the warm golden tones make your heart melt. If this is the case get ready to get glittery with the Glinda the Good Witch Gold Dress. This elegant dress has a golden brocade floral dress is cinched at the waist and has beautiful detail around the neck. It will surely keep you glimmering all night long!

Whatever dress you choose make sure to have a festive holiday and make the most of your celebration!

The summer sun is setting and fall is fast approaching, which means it is time for our first pre-fall lookbook of 2010, Grunge Glam. A mixture leathers and lace, hard and soft, this Lookbook is sure to please. 

We shot this look in KB’s house, a current employee at Lulus.com and the co-creator of Off the Chain. With KB’s golden brocade wallpaper, vintage furniture, and adorable set up for all her accesories, it was the perfect place to shoot. Pictured above is her desk with tons of jewelry and my favorite new nail polish for fall Sephora by OPI’s Only Gold For Me top coat, which was featured in the shoot.

How do you like the new lookbook? Let us know below!

For the newest Lookbook, Portofino, Lulus.com partnered up with our boyfriend store Trucker for whirlwind photo shoot! 

Our ladies and their guys got to soak up the sun while Lulus.com shot their new lookbook pictures. This setting was perfect for showing off Trucker’s summer menswear and for introducing them to our ladies!

On the left is our gorgeous Wase and an adorable model by the name of RJ that swept us all off of our feet. RJ looked so much like Taylor Lautner that we couldn’t stop thinking it was actually him! 

Our dedicated photographer Marty Crosley was willing to get down on the ground for the best shot of RJ on a killer skateboard! It was a super hot day so luckily the models got a chance to splash around in the pool.

In the middle of the shoot, we found out the owners of the house owned a beautiful, white Rolls Royce. We pulled out the Rolls for a spin around the block and the ladies had a blast. 

FYI keep posted for a behind the scenes video this week as well as more pictures on Trucker’s website. If you have any men if your life, tell them to check out Trucker, they have awesome men’s clothing that will complement your Lulus.com wardrobe.
