Lublu by Kira Plastinina

Lublu

 

When people ask what my blog is about I usually answer, “my personal style and things that inspire me.” I love sharing inspiring, new, designers, ideas, or websites. Whether it be fashion, art, or home decor, I try to write about what is inspiring me at that moment. Right now that moment is Kira Plastinina. You may remember her label, Lublu, from the video I did with my gal pals; A Hot Day In December. She was kind enough to lend us some amazing pieces for the shoot. When I first walked in all of the deep blues and really cool patterns grabbed my attention. Her pieces are so unique and high quality, you can’t help but swoon.

When I opened my inbox the other morning to a new press release of her spring/summer line I had to open it. I must be honest, bloggers receive so many press releases a day  from people asking us to write about their clients “new line,” it is hard to read them all. Most of the time the designs are terrible and you feel bad for the firm who has to represent them. Lublu is so, NOT one of those designers. You know the designer is good when you can’t click on the, “download file” fast enough.  She always has fresh ideas and beautiful pieces and her new spring/summer line did not disappoint. It actually is my favorite she has done thus far. The beautiful emerald greens, whites, and flowy fabric make it unforgettable and really inspiring. I couldn’t stop looking at the items trying to find a favorite, but alas, it is absolutely impossible!

I hope you check out Kira and her designs at Lublu! If you are in Dallas check out her beautiful shop in Preston Center or browse online!

 

Balance and Blushington

untitled-58

Hello readers and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! I have been waiting all week to say that. Not that this week was particularly stressful but I totally need a weekend to detox and get my life back in order. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do but it really throws you out of your routine, and I.love.routines. I will be taking lots of bloggers pictures this weekend (which I always love doing) and then relaxing (most likely editing) at night. I guess that is one of the beauties and downfalls of this “full-time, freelance, consulting, photographer, I do what I can to make money blogging life.” It never stops. I find the hardest thing is trying to juggle work life, home life, and personal life. I am constantly trying to update social media, thinking about my blog, or worrying about a post. This year I am working on many things but balance is definitely one of them.

Balance: offset or compare the value of (one thing) with another. I have NEVER been good at comparing or offsetting the value of one thing with another. I have a very obsessive personality so when I have a thought in my mind, I can’t let it go. The act of balance is something I have been working on my entire life. Maybe, just maybe, 2014 is the year I finally learn it! Although, highly unlikely as I have been obsessing over getting a new lens for the past two weeks. I mean, day and night, I am looking them up to figure out which one I want, comparing prices, and looking at sample pictures. Call me crazy!

Okay, so this has been a long tangent about things you probably didn’t come to this blog to read but I do have a matter to discuss at hand. I, along with my gal pals, will be hosting a fun event at Blushington Make-up on January 22nd and I would love for all of my Dallas readers to attend. Here is the plan; go ahead and mark your calendars now and rsvp to the e-mail above! This way you know you have something fun to fill your Wed. evening. And to be honest, I am not even sure there are any good reality show on TV Wed. evening so you really don’t have an excuse not to come. 🙂 See you there! xx

The Turtleneck Sweater Dress

untitled-2 untitled-3 untitled-4 untitled-5 untitled-6 untitled-7 untitled-8 untitled

The turtleneck sweater dress is such a classic staple for any closet. I haven’t worn one this season but when I saw, Danielle in hers, I swooned. Fast forward a few months to my latest trip to Berlin. I fell in love with the most beautiful hot pink sweater dress. Yes, I said HOT PINK! I know I seem to wear neutral colors a lot, but trust me, I am not afraid of color. Especially when it was as rich and beautiful as this dress. Sadly, I didn’t get it because I had been spending too much money. But wouldn’t you know, it is the one item I can’t stop thinking about. Isn’t that how it always works?

I am off to fashion week in February and am definitely going to try to find the perfect little turtleneck sweater dress before I leave. With the cold weather only increasing, it certainly will get lots of use. Now, where the hell do I find a hot pink sweater dress?!
