Where is the Love? (Lucy Love)

16 Feb

Fashion starts oh-so simply with an idea.

In 1999, that idea was a fashion line geared toward the feminine, as well as, free-spirited twenty-something girl, and it was called Lucy Love. This family owned line found its roots in Newport Beach, California and remains there today. Lucy Love is owned and operated by the Sharp family, who has had their hands in the fashion industry since the early 1980’s. Fashion designer and mother, Holly Sharp took her years of knowledge in the fashion world and teamed up with her daughter, Amber to create a line “by girls, for girls”.

Lucy Love is for that girl who passionately lives her free- spirited lifestyle surrounding the beach, who doesn’t just dress for a day on the sand at the water’s edge.

 “The whole point is to dress the girl for her entire day,” explained by Holly Sharp. “When she buys into a brand, she wants it all. And she doesn’t live in board shorts and T-shirts. She’s much more intelligent than that.”

Lucy Love is a line that is designed to give girls confidence, it’s important to have that in ourselves ladies! What we choose to wear plays a HUGE role in the way we feel about ourselves, more often than not, what and how we wear our clothing conveys our very mood. There are many tools used in fashion. But, the most important tool it possesses is the illusion it gives!

The mother/daughter designer team that makes up Lucy Love recognizes this.  Amber Sharp has admitted that she designs the various pieces that make up a Lucy Love fashion collection to “mirror various moods” for particular days.  Her approach to designing Lucy Love clothing allows for each different fashion piece to “embody and empower” every girl’s mood, cool right?

If you’re feeling light-hearted slip into something like the ultra feminine, flirty striped Gabriel dress from Lucy Love. This SUPER chic dress is as unique as you are!

Embrace the ocean wind as it tickles your skin through the dainty, sheer material and lifts your heart! Let it play with the delicate layers of this stylish loose flowing dress from Lucy Love.  Seize the day in the Gabriel striped dress and a cute pair of strappy sandals.

Let your confidence shine as brightly as the sun and hold tight to your rare style in the Lucy Love Villa mini dress.  Feel your colorful emotions freely and wear them for the world to see in this belted dress.

Each person you meet will taste a different flavor of your colorful personality. Paired with strappy sandals and boho inspired jewelry, the Villa mini dress by Lucy Love, as well as, you are a colorful and daring work of art!

            The Gabriel dress doesn’t just come in Lucy Love’s uniquely striped design. It’s colors range like your style.  Going for a 60’s vintage look? Try the Lucy Love Gabriel dress in white.

You’re a free-spirited soul, born of the wind and wearing your heart where your head should be. Fly with confidence, little lady dove, letting the chiffon layers and billowing 3/4 sleeves of the Gabriel dress be your wings. Have peace in your mind and love in your heart for all who you come in contact with when you wear this ethereal white dress from Lucy Love. Your kind heart will be full of warmth and you will glow in this dress when you pair it with a dainty pair of sandals or espadrille detailed platform wedges and delicate jewelry.

            Let your personality blossom like a spring flower in this elegant Vineyard dress by Lucy Love. You are a vibrant and vivacious flower whose charisma smells as sweet as the dainty roses you are wearing.

Your graceful steps down the beach will turn heads and lift hearts when you pass by wearing the floral print Lucy Love dress.

A Taste of Lace: The Dos and Don’ts of the Season

25 Jan

Once reserved for wedding gowns, lingerie, and that favorite dress you wore to prom. Lace embraces all things ultra feminine and is making itself known this season. We are seeing lace embellishments, overlays, and edgings.  Along with lace apparel, crochet has been making a name for itself lately.  Whether it is crochet dresses, crochet tops, or pops of crochet trimmings, you will be seeing a lot of it.

This timeless “pretty-girl” go-to fabric has made its mark through the years. But, if you are just gaga over lace, save yourself from going on a date in granny’s shawl, or asking to borrow her doily collection for your dress.  Fear not girls!!! We’re here to lend some helpful hints to get you into more boyish cuts, throw in a splash of color, and add some unexpected accents.

Do: Accessorize

It’s not just lace dresses that are all the rage at the moment. Everyday items such as blouses and skirts have also had a dash of lace added to them. You will also notice that handbags as well as women’s lace shoes will be a must have! Lace is even being used in jewelry.

Don’t: Go for Lace Overload

Just because you’re feeling super girlie, you don’t want to choose to wear lace from head to toe. Avoid wearing lace on lace. For example, if you were going to wear lace tights this would look better with a simple dress. You want to look stylish not silly.

Do: Opt for Pops of Lace

A lacy touch gives a simple dress or camisole an instant chic injection.  Let your lace fabric play peek-a-boo from under a playful top. Because it’s a sheer textile, a popular way to wear lace is as an overlay. Pair it with a small strappy slip or camisole! Let the lace fall just beyond your slip or show off its delicate design on your bare shoulders.

Don’t: Choose Just Neutral Tones

While black, cream, and white are classic lace colors, don’t limit yourself. Fashion is not dead ladies, so we shouldn’t look like we’re in mourning!!

Do: Experiment with Color

Spark up your lace by adding a bright color. Try a neon pink camisole to wear underneath your black lace top, or switch it up and wear your bright pink lace over a neutral tone.

Don’t: Go Granny

We’ve seen the old wedding photos, watched her crochet the doilies, and at some point helped beat the dust out of her curtains. Just because it’s a trend, doesn’t mean you need to go raid her closet.

Do: Look for Lace Clothing in Casual Shapes and Contemporary Cuts.

Elevate a simple t-shirt by opting for one in a lace pattern. Jeans and a tee never looked this good. Feel like you’re a bit of a free spirit; add a crochet accent in the form of a vest.

Done right, it’s the perfect mix of sweet and sexy. Done wrong, it’s a bedspread or a skin condition. As always, Glik’s offers you the latest in lace styles. Add these items to your wardrobe and you will be all grace in lace this season.
