Trendsetting With LadyLux

LadyLux is your one-stop online magazine for everything you need in life. With news in beauty, travel, fashion, and lifestyle, LadyLux has all of the priorities covered...and then some! Founder Elizabeth Wahler saw more to life than those luxurious, tangible things that we enjoy so much, but she recognized the impact that one could make on the world. For this reason, LadyLux is also responsible for both holding and covering major charity events as well as issues outside of the"modern luxury" realm. Overall, LadyLux has truly set the standard for luxury publishing. Not only does this site clear through the clutter and bring you the best knowledge and news about everything from products to events, but it inspires you and encourages you to get out there and take part as well! The true LadyLux girl "believes in herself, avoids licking the lollipop of mediocrity, and always acts with love" (via LadyLux).

And I definitely was not kidding about getting out there and taking part...In fact, as a subscriber and avid reader of the site, I was estatic when LadyLux approached me to ask if I wouldn't mind contributing as a guest blogger! I mean...WOULD I MIND?! Of course not! With a recent invasion of Grecian-inspired fashions, ranging from those on the runway this past week at Berlin's 2010 Fashion Week to the new YSL Belle d'Opium Perfume that is set to hit stores this fall, LadyLux looked to Belles&Rebelles to take on the style and bring it to the streets. Check out the featured article here as well as the pictures below to see our interpretation of Greek Lux!

What I wore: Dress by Alice + Olivia, Shoes by Givenchy, Ring by YSL, Headband by Deepa Gurnani

To achieve my look, head to Shopbop for these Grecian-inspired pieces:

LookBooks & Feature Interview

Launched just over one short year ago, in April of 2009, LookBooks has grown to be a huge force as a networking vehicle for people in the fashion industry. What started as a vision of a interactive online platform for his fellow creative friends, former model and entrepreneur Ryan Cook has created a site that has become one of the top spots for fashion professionals to research, gain exposure, interact, and, overall, take their careers to the next level. Partnering up with some of the best in the business, the company and its online-based community have grown tremendously during its short existence. As a new member on the site, I was beyond flattered when I was contacted about being interviewed for a feature. Sitting down with their editor, Samantha Lim, was a total and complete blast! She put me at such ease, it felt like I was just grabbing a coffee with a friend rather than being interviewed. She also assured me that LookBooks has some prettttty rad new features that they will be launching in the near future. Plus she let me in on some seriously amazing contests and giveaways that they will be running. Check out my Interview and Member Feature here, and be sure to set up your own account at LookBooks ASAP! You aren't going to want to miss out on anything they have (and are going to have) to offer!
