You know what I love more than a sale? A sale on already-cheap items! On that note, I urge you to peruse LuLu's sale section. It's filled with whimsical dresses, skirts, sweaters, pants, shoes, and bags. I'm all about exotic prints, and this 52nd St. Dress in Black and White ($35, originally $49) fits that criteria. The sheer ruffle sleeves provide contrast to the busy print. For more great Read more

Textile designer Lulu de Kwiatkowski's bold colors and handprinted geometric designs have long been a favorite of mine — as well as A-listers like Courteney Cox-Arquette and Diane von Furstenberg. So I'm excited to announce that the artist has debuted an exclusive dinnerware collection for Neiman Marcus. The store approached Lulu to translate images from her book LULU into china, and she Read more
If writing a book is always the resolution left behind once the calendar runs out, make 2012 the year to finally get your novel out of your brain and onto the page. The fear of being rejected by publisher after publisher can set you back, but more than ever, self-published novelists are turning to ebooks to make their mark on their own. Ebooks are gaining some serious ground in sales, even Read more
Lulu Frost's Spring '12 presentation was a beach-inspired oasis complete with models relaxing on lounge chairs and slick surfboards — painted by Sam Brigham — hanging from the ceiling.
