Grapevine

2012-05-25T16:09:45Z

I was so inspired by Diane Kruger's amazing Met Ball dress, that I decided to add a pop of purple into my wardrobe this week.

You can get my grape swarovski wrap here: http://www.chanluu.com/Wrap-Bracelets-p/bs-3002webganatbro.htm

GPS for the Soul

2012-05-17T23:11:56Z

I was in NY last week for NY Circuit. I was invited to Arianna Huffington‘s house for dinner, where Arianna announced she will soon launch "GPS for the Soul," a free app which will give people guidance on how to live a balanced, healthy, and happy life. She wanted to know if her guests, all of whom are world-class overachievers, would like to share their views on how they relax and balance their everyday life even with their demanding and hectic schedules. I gravitated right away to the title, “GPS For The Soul.” It hit me straight on! Whoa!!! It sounded exactly like what I could have used during the "soul-searching" journey I was on the past 6 years after I separated from my husband. The solution to my journey, however, did not have a title until that evening - "GPS for the Soul" just fits. So, I shared my story about how chaotic and stressful my married and professional lives were then, and how my life today is so well balanced, fulfilling, and happy with a much more successful professional career.

My favorite thing working on the website is getting behind-the-scenes looks at upcoming launches, especially Man Luu!

I thought it would be fun to give you a sneak preview at some of the things coming up in our Father's Day launch on May 22nd!

This launch is a perfect mix of darks and neutrals with complementary splashes of color that will go well with anything.

Sweet sweet spring.

Ever since my visit to LA for the Chan Luu collaboration with Kobe Collection, I have grown more and more in love with Chan Luu's beautiful pieces of jewelry and clothing. Maybe it's the delicate colors, maybe it's the heart put behind each bead, or maybe it's just the natural sweetness of the whole brand.

My latest loves are the Doeskin sand dollar mesh sequin bra and Kansa mix swarovski wrap bracelet on kansa leather. The subtle shine of each item lights up the room. Literally♥

神コレショッピングでロスにいってからだんだんチャンルーのものだいすきになってきた。すてきがアクセとふくがほんとうにいっぱい。きれいないろかチャンルーのパッションかブレンドぜんたいてきなかわいさかなにかわからないけどこのブランドがほんとうにすてき。Doeskin sand dollar mesh sequin bra and Kansa mix swarovski wrap bracelet on kansa leatherがいちばんさいきんきに入ってるものでやさしいキラキラがきれいにひかってうれしくなる.
