I'm in LA hanging out with Chris Ofili paintings and this series of portraits of Japanese girls squatting without underwear. Makes sense.

Sporting a few bold colors before the summer ends! So who's ready for fall season? I already have so many outfits in mind! Can't wait.

Jordan Taylor beachy cover-up, DKNY skirt, BCBGeneration wedges



















Incorporated a J. Taylor cover up into today's outfit. I just love how it's incredibly sheer and light weight making this hot weather more bearable! It was also worn frolicking at the beach last weekend. The wild child sticking out his tongue in the last photo is my adorable two year old nephew!



Hope everyone stay cool out there. Catch you guys in my next post!

never more beautiful

Lana Del Rey by Johnny Blueeyes



The best part about a picture of a beautiful girl is that she will stay a beautiful girl forever. She can be lovely. She can be cool. She can be anything you want her to be. You will never see her cry, laugh, wrinkle, or age. You will never see her fall in love, give birth, fail or succeed. And maybe you might want to. But you will say, she was never more beautiful.

The end of summer is fast approaching. Truly, it's been the most inspiring time of my life. Northern California is like nowhere else I've ever lived. The perfect cure for a restless soul. It's sort of grungy. It's sort of nature-y. But it's all sort of... beautiful.

SO since this blog is all about what inspires me, why not do a giveaway of what inspires YOU? As I hinted to you last week, I've teamed up with Blurb to create an Instagram photobook made up of our most inspiring photos. And one lucky reader will win this photobook for free!

Here are the rules:

-Follow me on Instagram or Twitter
-Post a photo using Instagram
-CAPTION your photo (don't forget to TWEET it!) and complete this sentence:
“This summer, my most #blurb inspired moment was... "

Your caption and tweet counts as your permission for me to use your photos in the photobook. I will choose a winner on August 29. This contest is open to everyone. GOOD LUCK!

I took this photo from my first Giants baseball game tonight. It was so much fun! Why don't more people invite me? In my next life, I'd like to be a cute girl with big tits who wears a super tight baseball shirt and jumps around a lot.



OH are we all on Instagram yet?



I've partnered with Blurb (who I consult for sometimes) and Instagram to bring you something very special. Stay tuned for details in the next week or so. In the meantime, you can follow me @luluandyourmom.

vibe

1. Céline Resort 12

2. Friend of Mine 'Midnight Toker' dress



I'm currently diggin' a certain kind of vibe. I can't describe - but I guess it has to do with hosiery, something graphic, and something bold.



BTW jackets as capes. Get on it.

first date

We sat on his couch. It was dark except for the moonlight. I straddled his lap as I ran my hand across my thigh to show him the rip in my stocking.



"See?"



He smiled.



"What brought you here?" I asked.



"A blonde girl from New Jersey."



He told me he was married.



"What happened?"



"We grew apart."



"Still… it must have been nice to be so in love," I said.



"Yeah… " he replied. "Have you ever been in love?"



"I don't think so."



Then he told me, "You have to want it."



That night, I fell asleep in his arms. I wish I knew then that he didn't want it. But when I close my eyes, everything is still perfect.

I've been on a caffeine high. Adrenaline is pumping. It goes: work, sleep, cry, work, work, work. Juggling a few tremendous publishing projects at the moment. Feels good. But I can feel my body breaking down.

Opening Ceremony

Opening ceremony romper, MIA shoes, Lucky Brand bag


Wow, I haven't updated this baby in the longest time. I hope everyone is having a great summer so far! In the above photos, I'm wearing a floral Opening Ceremony romper. I'm loving the poufy, skirt-like flaps! It definitely adds a girly and feminine twist to the traditional romper!
