But denim on denim was a place I dared not venture. That is, until I saw the trend step stylishly on the Spring 2010 runway.

One trick to pulling off the trend is to mix up the washes and textures. Pair a distressed jean with a crisp jacket or a light, chambray top with dark blue skinnies.

I love the two looks pictured above from Ralph Lauren and D&G. For even more inspiration, check out the street stylin’ bloggers below found on Lookbook.nu!

How would you sport the trend?

Not only is she an actress, she is a LuLu*s fasionista as well! Whether she is on the red carpet, filming, or out and about around town, Jillian is always spotted wearing designs from Lulus.com.

In the picture at left, Jillian looked fabulous on the red carpet wearing our Always Have Paris Dress at the Multicultural Harmony Benefit Gala on March 13. Below, Jillian is workin’ it in a stylish outfit paired with the Sun City Handbag by Melie Bianco.

Below is a photo from Day 1 of filming Miss Behave

We were lucky enough to interview Jillian Clare to find out about her style, career and inspiration.

What is your favorite thing about Lulus.com clothes and accessories?

I love being able to go onto LuLu’s and choose an entire outfit! Plus, with LuLu’s, I know that I can trust the fabric, the sizes and the overall quality of the pieces.

Do you have a favorite item on Lulus.com?

I recently went on the site and fell in love with the Jeffrey Campbell Buckles Leather Hardware Heel! They’re pretty incredible! I’m also completely in love with the Black Eyed Pea Minidress. I might just have to order those! =)

How were you introduced to Lulus.com?

I found out about LuLu*s through my new web series, Miss Behave. All the girls’ wardrobes were provided by Lulus.com! Let’s just say when it came time to take off my wardrobe, I was very reluctant. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to wear those outfits outside of the show!

How would you describe your style in regards to hair, make-up and clothes? Is there any particular decade that you draw inspiration from?

I’m constantly changing how I do my eye make-up. One day, I’ll go all out with smokey eyes and black eye shadow and lots of liner, and the next, it’ll be very simple light eye shadow and just a little mascara. I’m also really into anything vintage and try to find pieces from the 40′s and 50′s that I can modernize a little.

What are some wardrobe basics that you can’t live without?

My leather jacket! I wear it everywhere. It’s become a huge staple in my wardrobe. I’ve also fallen into the white v-neck and black skinny jeans trend. It’s simple and always looks good!

What fashion trends have you seen recently that you love?

The 2 finger rings! It’s such a cool concept and they look incredible! Instead of wearing multiple rings and having it look a bit over the top, you can just wear your 2 finger ring! It’s a statement without being too much. I also love all the ruffle collars I’ve been seeing; very girly and fun!

What is one fashion item you splurge on when it comes to completing your look?

My heels! I’m obsessed when it comes to shoes, especially my heels. I went through my closet and counted how many I had one day and lets just say it ran upward of 80 pairs!

How did you get into acting?

Believe it or not, my singing is what got me into acting! When I was 6 years old, I put on a 12-song show all by myself at the local state and county fairs in Washington state. After one of my performances, a talent scout had asked my parents and I if I had ever tried acting, which hadn’t even crossed our minds. My parents signed me up for an acting class and I fell in love with it! I still sing but acting has taken over my life! I really can’t imagine doing anything else.

Has being an actress and being in the spotlight made you more aware of clothes that flatter your body?

Absolutely! With all the fittings you have to do when you book a job, it becomes clear what your body can and can’t pull off. For instance, I know that most jumpers won’t look good on me because of my height and I know that strapless dresses look great because of my shoulders. (They’re not too boney and they’re not boxy looking.) I think you just have to experiment to truly know how your body handles certain pieces. Not all clothes are gonna look good on you, unless you’re Marilyn Monroe, of course.

What do you love most about your job?

I love the fact that I get to go to work and not really feel like I’m working, because I’m truly doing what I love! I love getting in the mindset of someone completely different than me and be able to express how they feel and let that character take over. It’s such an exhilarating process.

How has your style changed throughout your career?

Well, since I’ve grown up in the business, as I mature, so does my fashion sense. I’m getting into the phase of wearing things that can really show off my body while still being really classy.

Are there any celebrities that you draw fashion inspiration from? Who is your biggest fashion influence currently?

I love Sienna Miller’s style. I read an interview once where she was asked how she chose this certain dress she wore to an event, and she said she just found it in her closet and threw it on. She pulls off that “I don’t really care” look while still looking incredible. She also tends to wear dark colors and that’s definitely something I lean towards also. Kim Kardashian is a huge influence lately. I love how she combines sexy and sophisticated!

Who are your favorite designers?

I’ve always loved Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana and Marc Jacobs! I’ve also recently become a fan of Zac Posen!

What is a fashion must-have for Spring and Summer?

Your classic short shorts. I’ve noticed that’s a huge must-have on all the hot must-haves lists that have come out lately!

I realized that I should start doing Lulus.com employee profiles since we are all so dang cool. I already did one on Serine when she moved to London, so I thought I’d keep going with the models first.

So here is Kyndrah. She’s one stylish chica and always wears LuLu*s clothes. Even in the cold, this girl has managed to look cute day in and out.

Check her out below, wearing her own jacket, cardigan, and knitted scarf (it had these really cool feathers knitted into it!), sunglasses, and Ugg boots paired with our newest Yoko Striped Tank by Alternative Apparel and the Beaten Path Skinny Machine Jean!

Below are a few fun pictures of Kyndrah in the studio, when I was shooting some of the clothes that I did this year with photographer Daniel De Porres. I love the one of her jumping. She literally walked into the studio and it took us 5 minutes to get these shots!

Here is Kyndrah modeling for me at a small fashion show I threw. She’s so much fun and brings a lot of life to the clothes!

Currently Channeling: The Brat Pack
I love finding new creative ways to dress by referencing old movies, television, cartoons, and magazines. Once of my recent inspirations came from discovering a YouTube video from one of my favorite bands this year, Phoenix :

Here are some simple ways to channel your favorite member of the Brat Pack while still looking fresh! We’ll begin with John Bender from The Breakfast Club!

But what to wear?

The dress code for flying has changed over the years. Flying was once a special occasion that required formal attire. But with the stress of holiday travel, airport security, flight delays and cramped cabin seating, those high heels and nylons may loose their appeal when you start to blister and itch.

Courtesy of People Stylewatch, we’ve got some great pics of celebs who, though having to travel frequently, manage to maintain their star quality and style when everything’s up in the air. 

Above, I like how Ashlee Simpson’s look is so basic yet still a statement by topping it all off with a chic hat. Meanwhile, New Moon cutie Ashley Greene pairs an elegant faux fur jacket with skinny blue jeans for a warm and casual look. Rihanna keeps her cool with a stylin’ black cap and funky work boots.

Taking hints from all these styles, my most put-together outfit for air travel would have to be: an oversized top, like the Euclidean Space Top by Brandy Melville [sold out!], skinny Kill City Jeans with stylish detailing, and a cute ladies fedora to top it all off. All this paired with shades will have you fightin’ off the paparazzi like a star.

Now if you want to take flight the old-fashioned way, just take a look at Mad Men star John Hamm and burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese. These two take the cake when it comes to style. Go them!

For those of you who are acquainted with a little channel called E! Entertainment, you’ll want to tune in every morning from 6 to 9 a.m. to spot some cute LuLu*s merchandise on the cast of That Morning Show. This fun and upbeat news program is just lovin’ our dresses, and don’t they wear them well?!

Pictured above (from left to right) is our Spectacle Dress in Grey [sold out!] and our Hilton Dress in Grey [sold out!]. Below is our As You Like It Dress (left) and our Fifth Avenue Dress in Brown (right).

We had the pleasure of chatting with the show’s talented stylist, Lauren Valentine, about the life of a stylist and how she got into the biz.

How did you get started as a stylist?

I met a big time director who gave me the “in”, and then I worked my butt off on my first film, Reservation Road, to prove to everyone that they needed me in this industry.

How is working behind the scenes at That Morning Show? It looks like you guys have a lot of fun.

It is fantastic! Mark Long is one of my favorite people. He is always making jokes and keeping things light.

What are your favorite aspects of the job? Any challenges?

I love being able to be creative with my job, and I love how versatile it is. Dressing nine people, with all different ideas and styles, does prove to be challenging at times, but is also so rewarding and worth it.

Do you try to have your wardrobe keep up with current fashion trends?

Of course. I am having a lot of fun with boyfriend blazers and the big chunky stilettos that are out there right now.

Any costuming disasters or bloopers?

Yes! The other day, Chelsea’s skirt ripped in the middle of the show, but we just had to get creative and fake it the rest of the way through.

Describe your favorite outfit.

Right now, I would have to say a super sequenced top with a boyfriend blazer, a pair of pegged skinny jeans and a colossal heel.

What would you recommend for an aspiring stylist?

Stay at it. It is a long, tough road, but it sure beats the 9 to 5 if you have a passion for fashion.
