7.30 Little black dress and pearl wrap

by Lu Lu on 30/07/2012

Hey guys, happy Monday, and I hope you all had a lovely weekend. This is my Sunday night outfit for our dinner out. I think every girl should own at least one little black dress in her wardrobe, well~ in my case, several….But I do  choose different cut, material, details for my LBD collection. The reason why I love this piece is absolutely about its details, the back cut out, leather trim at the waist line, and pleated skirt. I got it from H&M for $35, shocking, right? I paired it with this pair of super sexy stripy sandal from Zara, btw,  Zara came out many stripy sandals like this for summer, which I have seen on so many blog posts. For accessories,  I kept it really simple. I love my arm candies, but sometime less is more, to achieve a chic and classic look, I chose this white mother of pearl and silver nuggets wrap bracelet. This is one of my favorite pieces in my shop. It is so delicate and well made, and I think it is perfect for this look. You can find this piece here.

7.26 Denim and Leather

by Lu Lu on 25/07/2012

Hey dolls, hope you are doing fabulous. It has been chilly at evening time in LA, especially close to the Ocean. I wore this outfit for a BBQ dinner, they are all basic pieces, but I dressed them up with my accessories. I am a huge believer that accessories and details can change the whole look. My Etsy shop is launched. OH YAY,  I am so excited~ I am still adding  more pieces, but you can have sneak peek now here. I want to share my arm candy love with you in my shop. Check it out if you love my braceletes. This denim jacket is my summer must have, I think it goes with most of my summer outfit, shorts, skirts, dresses. I got this one from H&M  2 years ago for about $ 25, H&M is a really awesome place to get basic pieces. I got this button up shirt from Zara.com from Sales section for $50, which was originally $98, amazing deal! My favoriate part of this shirt is leopard print and the two gold studs on the collar, love details. The leather short  is my all time favorite from H&M, if I don’t need to go to work, I wan to wear it everyday, that’s how much I love it. You can find all the bracelets here at Lulusfashionshop, please let me know if you like them:)

7.22 Simple outfit for a road trip and hike day-Hana Highway

by Lu Lu on 22/07/2012

 

Hey my dolls, I wore this super simple outfit for our Hana highway day. This is what I like to wear if we have a long drive or we need to do some outdoor activities. The view of Hana highway is absolutely breathtaking, I do think this is where they shot Avatar, is it?  Let me know if you know:) We stopped by a super cute ice cream shop ~Coconut Glen, they have the non-diary organic 100% coconut ice cream, they serve ice-cream in the coconut shell, so everything is really natural. They ask you to “Gong” if this is the best ice cream you ever had. I did course, and did taste really amazing. I actually knew this store before we went to there from Judy and Benji’s Honeymoon video. (if you you don’t know who are they, Judy has her amazing fashion & makeup youtube chanel “Itsjudytime”, I’ve learned so many awesome tips from her. Benji is her hunsband, he has his life stytle and cooking channel “BenjiManTV” ) If you are going to Hana in Maui, you have to stop by this place. After at least 3 hrs drive and 1 mike hike in the rain forrest, we finally made to “Black bamboo forest”, I ‘ve never seen so many bamboos in my whole life,  and I wish all the pandas can live there, that would be heaven for them:) On the way back, we stopped by at “Black sand beach”, it was so gorgeous, and I took 3 little black rocks with me back to LA. We had a blast that day, Maui I miss you~~

7.18 Sunset walk on the beach

by Lu Lu on 16/07/2012


This is another evening we spent in Maui. When we were there, everyday around 6pm we would go to the beach in our resort, and walked on the sand while watching the sunset, and every time I was amazed how beautiful it is here. Hawaii is really a magical place, I don’t think there is any word I can describe it. Hope my pics can bring you to this magical island:)

I chose very simple outfits for this vacation, and most of the time, I didn’t wear any makeup (except for sunscreen) or accessories, and just let my hair air dry. I just wanted to be as natural as this island:)

Details: Black & white stripy dress from Brandy (local store in Santa Monica)//H&M faux leather wedg (a neutral wedge is a summer must have for every girl, they go with everything)

7.15 Ready for a Luau Show and Hawaiian dinner at the beach?

by Lu Lu on 16/07/2012

Hey my beauties,

This the first evening we spent in Maui, we went for a Luau show (Hawaii local performance), and had a lovely dinner buffet at the show place.  The sunset in Hawaii is the most beautiful sunset I haven ever seen, it is just gorgeous like a painting. The beach, sunset, dance, music, food, everything was perfect, those pics will always bring me back to that lovely evening:)

I wore this strapless one piece dress from JCrew, and my favorite part was adding this bright neon green skinny belt, it brings more shape and fun to the whole outfit. Sometime a small accessory can definitely pull together the whole outfit. I am obsessed with neon for this season, but instead of being a walking highlighter, I prefer to incorporate small neon factors to my outfit.

7.13 I can touch the sky~

by Lu Lu on 13/07/2012

Hey guys, my Hawaii vacation post are finally here. Yay~We went to Maui a week ago, and we had an awesome time there. We saw so many breath taking views, that I think some are them are definitely my top 10 views until now. I was so amazed how beautiful and magical the nature can be. On the first day,  we went to Haleakala National Park, we drove and passed through the cloud, got the top of crater, the view was absolutely phenomenal. I felt we were closer to heaven when when we on the top, the sky and cloud are touchable to us. This is a must see in Maui.

When I am on vacation, I think comfort is as important as fashion, I normally go for shorts if we are having any outdoor activities. It was pretty warm in Maui, but I knew on the top of crater it will be chillier, so I brought this chunky sweater, it is so warm and cozy, and I love wear it with shorts for a casual feel. (See paring it with Denim shorts here) My Hawaii flower Leis is from our resort, I wore it for the whole day and  I love it adds a good pop of color to my outfit.

7.8 Sunflower and my summer white

by Lu Lu on 08/07/2012

 

Hey my beauties, Happy Sunday!

I woke up 5:30 am today, and felt so energetic. I have been working on some blog projects, there will be some new posts from our Hawaii-Maui trip, and I cannot wait to share them with you guys, look forward to that.

Here is my yesterday’s outfit, and I wore it for a dinner with friends. I think a white dress should absolutely be a statement piece in every girl’s summer wardrobe; it helps to bring out more tan, so fresh and crisp feeling. I got this dress from JCrew along with the 7.7 JCrew accessory and Target shoes Haul, and of course I got it from an amazing discount, it is marked down from $188 to $53, check out more sales finding tips from my last Haul post. For this white dress, I love the crochet detailing, the neckline, the classic fit, it can be easily dressed down and up with the right accessories, see more paring ideas later.

Details: White dress from JCrew//Brown leather  belt and wedge from H&M, I like wear brown and white together, I think they complement each other so well//White Michal Kors watch with crystal details, my fav summer watch//H&M Straw clutch, the material and golden detailing are perfect for summer//Turquoise stone with Silver skull 5 wrap bracelet, and pink, coral stone 5 wrap bracelet, white leather bracelet with stud are all from my shop, which will be launched in 2-3 weeks, I really hope you like them, leave me a comment if you do?

Enjoy your day, love you guysJ

7.7 JCew Accessory and Target shoes haul

by Lu Lu on 07/07/2012

Hey my lovelies, I want to share my haul yesterday from JCrew and Target with you guys, so you can still get it if you like any of them. Most of staff are highly discounted, so I am really happy and enjoying them.

Bracelets, necklace, coral sneaker are from JCrew. JCrew is having a 30% off on all the sales items. But I can’t find the same items or price online, so check out your local JCrew, sometime stores have better deal than the online store.

  • The pink and mint bracelet, mint necklace were all originally $30, after the entire discount, I got them of $11 each, pretty impressive, right? JCrew is definitely one of my favorite brands for jewelry, because it is so well made, chic and also classic, I can wear them for a really long time. I used to buy lots of forever 21 accessories, but quality is not good, after a few wears, the color will change really easily. I think those two bracelets will add so much fun to my arm candy parties, I am in love with them.
  • The coral sneaker was marked down from $34 to $ 11, I think it is good dupe for Tom’s, there were many colors, but I think the bright coral brings out more of my tan, so it is perfect for summer.

The black wedge and booties are all from Target

I hope you enjoy my haul, have a great the rest of the weekend!

See you soon:)

7.4 Black White and Neon

by Lu Lu on 04/07/2012



Hi my lovelies. Happy July 4th! Even my outfit here is not 4th related, but I would like to share it with you on this special day!

As you can tell from my old posts, I have been obsessed with Neon this season, neon green, yellow, pink and orange, they are all my favorites. I feel so energetic when I have something “neon”. A simple way to pair neon is wearing it with neutral, and it makes the neon pops even more.

See details here: H&M black faux leather short//H&M white see-through contrast tee//Suede booties from Dolce Vita//My Neon bag from Target. I didn’t think it is a very practical bag because of the bright color, but I’ve gotten so many uses from it, and see how I styled it here, here, and here in the past. Accessories are all from lulu’sfashionshop which will be launched soon, please come back and check them out if you like my accessories.
