Shop du Jour: Lulu’s

In a world where to be fashionable is almost synonymous to a thin and unhappy wallet, discovering bargain buys and designer looks for much less seems to even better than Christmas morning. Lulus.com, an online store selling the latest trends and styles at bargain prices, carries designer looks for less.

Kenneth Jay Lane, a rising jewelry brand, has become a recent celebrity pick, gaining popularity amongst celebrities like Hilary Duff, who accessorize with his unique enamel bangles in shapes of exotic animals. Whereas his bracelets make our mouth water with longing, the price tag of $400+ that comes along with these bangles isn’t so loveable. Lulus.com, however, carries Cleopatra bracelets in the shapes of tigers and panthers much like KJL’s, crystal detail and all, with a wonderful price of only $16! This season’s all about the statement jewelry; buy one or two and stack them on your wrists, paired with a monochromatic outfit for a pop of color and a unique look.

Stella McCartney is also a highly coveted brand, the dresses and blouses flirty, feminine, and beautifully constructed. Her ruffle trimmed blouse in a peachy pink has been a favorite, making it to many a wish list of fashionistas all around. Where the top may have once been unattainable, Lulus.com makes a dream come true with its taupe-colored “Glam Rock Mini” with elegant ruffles along the sleeves. With a beautiful, satin sheen, this mini exudes luxury and glamour, perfect for any cocktail party.

Lulu’s selection of clothing, accessories, and shoes are all fabulous, whether similar to designer favorites or just current with the latest trends of the season. As they say, copying is the highest form of flattery – and the best way to keep your wallet happy. After all, if you spend less, you can buy more, right?

About Kim Yang

I love fashion; I guess you could call it a passion of mine, one that started when I was a wee toddler, putting together outfits and putting on little runway shows for my camera-happy mother. And it was then when fashion grew on me, first starting as a girlish passion for wearing pretty little things and then evolving into much more. Perhaps claiming fashion to be a passion - or obsession - is a bit cliche on my part, since a majority of girls dream of a career in fashion. But fashion isn't simply a matter of looking sophisticated and knowing the trends; for me, it is a form of history and art - living history, if you will - that adapts and reflects what is going on in the now. That is the beauty of fashion: the very thing the draws me into it.
