Lula Looks

Today, I am angry at Pepsi and Barnes & Noble.

Why, you ask? Well, I was stuck behind a mind-numbingly slow Pepsi truck on the way to school today, so that accounts for the Pepsi hatred. But Barnes & Noble, a store I normally think of lovingly, appears to have stopped carrying Lula Magazine. And so I must hate it. Having looked at tFS to pore over editorials from the latest issue, I feel that B&N is doing me a great disservice.

And so, it is with Lula on my mind that I share those new cut-offs with you. I like 'em lots. They may be a simple, ratty garment, but sometimes those are the best parts of your wardrobe. It just depends on how you style them.

See if you can spot the Lula "influence" in these photos. Har, har. I must admit that I'm rather proud of myself.

Wearing:

♥ Artfully torn cut-offs

♥ New T sent over by the lovely people at Alternative Apparel after seeing the post I did on AltA. Reviews and such of the gear they sent coming up soon. . .

♥ Strap detached from a bag and worn as a belt

♥ Beautiful necklace brought back from Spain by my wonderful brother

♥ Combat boots

♥ Over-the-knee socks folded down

♥ Randomly puffy half-ponytail hairstyle

♥ A wee bit of attitude

Clickity clack, indeed.

No, I don't believe that comment made any sense. But it needed to be said.

The best part of this outfit is that the $25 boots were the most expensive part. Works for me!

Ughhh

I've been waiting for the newest Lula magazine for ages, and. . .

. . . my local Barnes & Noble decided not to sell this issue!!!

GRRRRRRR.

There is nowhere else around here I can think to get it, and I'm feeling incredibly disappointed. No dreamy photos to paste above my bed this month for sweet dreams? No amazingly insightful and unique articles? No thick, glossy paper and cat-eyed Siri? Sacrilege!

DRAT.

New Dress, DIY Headband

I have a new summer dress. It's a gently used Soundgirl dress I bought it off of Ebay for $16, including the $7 shipping fee. Not bad, eh? I love it! You can't see in the picture, but the print is little pink hearts that look sort of like flowers with green stems on a white background. The color scheme of the pattern reminded me of the dress on the cover of the most recent Lula magazine, so I felt a sudden urge to wear the Erin Featherston flower headband shown on the cover with my new purchase. Of course, that wasn't an option. Instead, I used a broken pearl/clear bead necklace and a piece of thin, flexible wire to make a headband. I wrapped the ends of the wire around the ends of the broken necklace and ended up with a headband that mildly resembled the Erin Featherston one. I quite like it.



There are three things I feel required to do in this ensemble:
1) Go to a wedding
2) Frolick barefoot in the grass
3) Have a tea party

I feel all festive now. Maybe I should go accomplish task #3?

Lula Magazine

Okay, I know that the world knows about Lula Magazine, but the most recent issue was my first. I had listened to people rave about Lula for months, and I had to see what the fuss was all about. I have to say, the fuss is much deserved. I loved everything about the magazine, from the thick, glossy paper to the dreamy photographs, beautiful drawings, and interesting articles. I had planned to tear the photographs from the magazine for wall decoration, but I found that I couldn't. It felt sacreligious to tear anything out of something so much like a book, something so visually stunning. Instead, it sits beside my bed for perusal before I go to sleep. I know it will bring me only the sweetest of dreams.
