Who or what inspires you?
I am inspired by any and EVERYthing NYC. Uptown girls, downtown girls, vintage Central Park you name it. I am also inspired by 50s glamour, there’s something to be said about women back in those days that got dressed to the nines everyday for no special occasion.

My newest arrival. I think everyone in colder climates needs one of these.
My lovely new felted scarf has arrived.
This is my second annual felted scarf from Sarah.
Think I will treat myself to a new one every year.
… and anyone who knows me, knows I am always wearing a scarf during cooler weather.
I love the color and texture it adds to whatever I am wearing.
This particular scarf will be just what is needed on a blustery, sub zero day. It is so thick and yummy. Ain’t no wind getting through this puppy.
Sarah is an amazing designer. Visit her blog to keep up with life on her farm.

Smashing For The Holidays by MsLadyLUX on Polyvore.com
We all know the holidays gifts can be a bit blasé. In order to avoid less than stellar gifts, we fell it’s perfectly acceptable to send gift ideas, request or DEMANDS directly to a family member’s or loved one’s inbox. Here are the LadyLUX covets for Him and Her via our favorite Indie site, SmashingDarling.
For Her:
1. Bronwen Red Leather Mac Case – $85.00. This case is lusciously LUX. Most laptap cases are ultra modern and sleek. The Bronwen case is something entirely different; it’s glamorous and eye-catching, while being refined and tasteful. This case will be noticed in any meeting. Bonus points for how it discreetly holds the power cord.
2. Deanna Burasco’s Waffle Necklace – $45.00. Deanna’s jewelry is very unique. She uses pieces created from shrink plastic and mixes them with ribbon and metals. This is not your ordinary necklace, it’s delicate, but also make a great style statement that says, “Yes! I have fierce indie fashion taste.” 3. Merigirl Black A-Line Dress – $85.00. We know what you’re thinking, “Another black dress?” Yes, of course! We firmly believe that a woman can never have too many of these. This one is fantastic; it’s woven and stretchy – perfect for the girl needs a bit of give because of delightful indulgence during the holidays.
For Him:
1. The Go Robot ! Defense Ring – $88.00. Men’s accessories expanded in 2009 beyond belts and shoes. It’s now acceptable for men to sport bags, goggles, necklaces and fantastic bling. This ring is masculine and notoriously sexy.
2. Mana Moon Chain Maille Bracelet – $98.00. We’re continuing with sexy accessories. This bracelet is unusual. Proceed with caution, this isn’t for rural town wearing but it’ll turn heads in major metropolitan areas from New York to Berlin.
3. Black Lego Cufflinks – $18.00. Whoever thought of these was brilliant! Any man who’d wear lego cuff links quickly instills a major case of <3 (heart) for us. Sexy and fun!
About LadyLux:
Once upon a time, there was girl named LUX. She believed in humanity, doing good for the sake of good, and all things beautiful in our world. As she grew older and began to take stock of the world around her, her mission in life became clear: be a Change Agent. The tasks associated with being an “Agent” is to use her mind and voice to help fix what is broken in the world and empower the people in it to do the same. Thus was born The Lady LUX Network.
Founder Elizabeth Wahler
At LadyLUX, our motto is “Good for the Sake of Good.” We believe in doing good and being good, while looking good. We believe in fashion, life, love, philanthropy, eco-luxury and laughter. We empower women to follow their passions, live authentically, and to honestly know and love themselves. Choosing health and your best self, being good to others and good to the environment is simply living the LUX life. In each outfit we put together, we always include organic and “green” items that were created with the idea of sustainability.
