What To Wear Now: PASTELS

Live the serene life these last few weeks of winter with pale pastels in all shades of mint, peach, lavender, pink and baby blue. With soft hues like this, you'll have the boost you need to brave the last winter waves...


Even if you don’t believe in wearing white after Labor Day, InStyle Magazine suggests that there are other colours that aren’t traditionally thought of for the colder months that might brighten up our winter wardrobes, and help us segue into Spring!!!

The Kaw-ling: Graffiti Artist KAWS Knows Street Art Chic

This is not your average figurine...






In a Stroke: 
Brian Donelly, otherwise known as KAWS, is a pop art superstar painter, sculptor, designer and one of the most influential voices in the contemporary art scene. Known for his "X" marked figures and larger than life sculptures, KAWS is shaking up the meaning of toys.

Rebel , Rebel, Toys and Trouble: 

Graffitti-bombing trains, planes and billboards in his home town of Jersey City took up most of KAWS teen years. Wanting to create more impact, KAWS soon graduated to a more covert form of street art. He began stealing posters from bus stops, adding his own signature graphics to them, and then returning them to the same spot. These hits were so skillfully executed - not one brush stroke could be detected - that it was almost impossible to distinguish the artist's work from the original advertisement. 

Out of the Shadows: 
KAWS has gone from rebel street painter to running with big names like Kanye West and Nike. He has produced everything from his trademark "x"-marked sneakers for Nike to an album cover for a special edition of Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak (2008). With a monograph from Skira/Rizzoli due out this fall and the Aldrich show at his doorstep, KAWS has gotten approval from an art-world establishment that he felt would never accept his work. 

If you haven't had enough KAWS, click here to see the artist in a live interview.

We would luv to see LUA fan's KAWS collection. Snap some pics and tag us on Facebook or Twitter!

Victoria Secret Fashion Show 2012: Highlights and Top Looks!!!

The leggy ladies of Victoria Secret had our eyes glued to the TV last night with their amazing-as-ever fashion show! Super "Angels" Doutzen Kroes, Erin Heatherton, Joan Smalls, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldrige, and our fave, Adriana Lima, strutted their stuff on the runway in a drool display of rock-your-socks-off lingerie.

The A-List: Joining the angels and eye candy was the oh-so-glam Rihanna who rocked out in lingerie as well (and looked just as fab!). Bruno Mars also took the stage and of course, what would the superbowl of fashion shows be without a little Bieber fever!

Highlights: Doutzen Kroes' body cage, Miranda Kerr's swan style feather pouf, Lily Aldridge's star-spangled wings that shot out silver sparkels. And of course there was the $2.5 million "Fantasy Bra (we'll take one of those for christmas!!) donned by Alessandra Ambrosio and featuring a 20-carat white diamond in the center!
