More riveting news from the mind of LULA...
MAY!
Hey there, you look great, by the way.
So I've been crazy busy. Here's a few things I've been doing: (Going to the river with Selby, my dog, doesn't count.) I put in a ton of summer dresses, mens swim trunks ( hope the dudes like short shorts), new tube tops, a new window of unmentionables a.k.a. slips nighties pettipants, hawaiian maxi gowns and mens shirts ( lots of mens shirts). Next week , it's shoes, purses, shorts, skirts and whatever else. I'm moving into full on summer mode.
Also, last week, I went and bought a ton of stuff that filled a moving van. I've already started to wash it all. Y'a gotta love a triple loader. (Words out on the street that there's a Qunita (5) loader and it's just a matter of time before me and it spend some special time together.)
I'll put a few photos up of amazing items in the store too on a separate photo page titled- "YES!"
Over and out- H
A Review of my successes
As we well know, there's not enough room in the entire internet to catalog them all- so I'll just review this past week. I put in all sorts of new stock: both wash and dry cleaning. I did the dress section and the blouse section and the jacket section. We've got a pastel window with lots of cotton dresses of the 50's and 60's variety. I just did a massive buy of a massive collection and have been participating in endless back-breaking work that should benefit you and only you. The yield of this stock will not only be fruitful throughout the summer but also further into autumn. ( So far I've dry cleaned 52 coats with another truck load going on monday.) It's coming into LULA- Chronically -Constantly- Endlessly. If you miss this opportunity to score- your dear heart will surely break. I guess that's all for today...
16 loads of laundry
That's right. And more tomorrow. Most of which has come in today and will be added the next few days. Predominantly the loads consist of dresses, tops and mens shirts. I've got a "batik- gunny sax hippy girl" window going until the end of the week. It'd be a good time to come in- if your looking for spring clothing.
APRIL
Okay, so, let's go! It's time. Let's just go.Why not? I got it all. Right here- right now. Come see. You know you want to...
PS cotton.
SUNDAY April 1st ST PAUL Pioneer Press
SO there's a fashion spread of LULA items. But when I looked it up- there were no photos on the site. Who wants that? So I will figure out why but for now you will need to simply look at the actual paper today. Sorry. Parts of the same shoot are in spaces magazine which- again- I can't seem to link. Y'all may have to get your hands dirty with some actual newsprint. It's worth it. The photo shoot included Photographer: Tim Nehotte Art Director & Set Designer: Barbara Schmidt, bstyle inc. Wardrobe Stylist: Hayley Bush, Lula Vintage Hair & Make Up Artist: Andrea Holton, Moore Creative Model: Mary, Vision Management GroupProducer: Rachel Lupton, bstyle inc.
Whoa- it's almost april
I'm not going to lie- I've got a lot going on. I went on a massive buy that made me feel like I ripped my arms out of their little sockets.
(PS.This buy will make you go insane in your stylish little membrane.)
However- somehow, I still brought it this week. Because, for you, I'd do anything. New blouses - new shorts- new dresses- new window. Next week, we focus on summer dresses and swim wear. I think LULA is in the paper too. The St Paul Pioneer Press on sunday. ( I think ? I wax on about spring fashion.) I will update at the end of next week to corroborate my progress with my April transition . Over and out...
SATURDAY @ LULA
Oh my gosh- in real time- on a saturday at LULA - no less. Ever so quickly, (I have the store full of spring shoppers) I just wanted to update that I did - in fact- add all of the items I set out to this week. Also, my plan for monday is mens' wear or as I like to call it, "The Mens Department".If you are attending the MAD MAN PArty at Jax this sunday- have a swell time. Enjoy the show!
Oh yeah, I think we are in the pioneer press on the last sunday of march… please have some coffee , kick back and get some fashion advice.

MARCH ON!
Hey- wasn't that an unbelievable St Patricks day? It was as though we all had an estatic buzz going. People were everywhere in St Paul having a crazy, great time. I can see, even two days later, people are still in recovery mode. It was warm and beautiful and fully appreciated. The warm temperatures has caused me to need to speed up the process of getting lighter items in the store. SO I moved out most of the light weight cardigans out today and put in a bunch of new tops. Also, I did the same with dresses. I'll go thru the entire store this week in this way. I also put some vintage swim wear into LULA. We have a bunch of great press coming out this week in local papers so keep your eyes peeled. I'll write mid-week with my successes and failures.
