LouLou Loves You...

If you would like a custom head band like the one above, click here to find out how.

and the feelings are mutual. My love for hair accessories is no secret, and I always look forward to new additions to the LouLou Loves You collection. As I have mentioned in previous posts about this line, everything is handmade. The collection has a a beautiful dreamy almost ethereal-like vibe. Maybe it's because little birds, and cute little forest animals, helped weave the flowers together to make the perfect headband. You know, like something out of a Disney film. Okay, okay, you don't have to tell me that it didn't happen quite like that exactly. I figured that out the day I sang to the birds outside so they'd help me clean my room... Uhh anyway, where was I? Oh! While they may not have been crafted the same way Snow White would have gone about it. There is no denying that you'll sure look as lovely as a fairytale princess.

The Girl Project Book


A few years ago, I was one of 5,000 girls who participated in The Girl Project. It warms my heart to say that one of my photos was chosen to be featured in The Girl Project Book, set to release in August 2011.  I received a disposable camera in the mail, and was asked to take photos of the world around me. The Girl Project, created in 2007 by Kate Engelbrecht, explores the world of female adolescence through the eyes of teenage girls. "Humans have long been fascinated by female adolescence. In today's world it not only piques our curiosity - it feeds our insatiable need for drama. [. . .] We fail to understand the complexity and the truth behind the very group we obsess on," Engelbrecht said. The Girl Project reintroduces the life of real American teenage girls through images we created ourselves.

Helen Rödel

Editorial: Fotogaleria Blanco y Negro
Helen Rodel is one of the most innovative designers I know. She sent me a lovely email introducing me to her line, and I am so glad she did! Helen's unique technique deserves to be recognized. To execute garments, as well as she does, that were completely hand weaved takes passion, patients, and craftsmanship. Here is your chance to get an up close and personal view of her creative process. Watch the video below, and witness the development of her most recent collection Estudos MMXI. These featured photos are from her previous collections. Click here to view more.
