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.

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.

In each outfit we put together, we always include organic and “green” items that were created with the idea of sustainability.
We just celebrated Labor Day, the official end of summer. I don’t know about you, but it usually reminds me to enjoy the last couple of summer days, as I mentally gear up for fall. We are about to become immersed in fall and winter fashions during Fashion Week NY, so I wanted to take a minute and give one last hurrah to summer with a great summer outfit that’s light, feminine, whimsical and ephemeral.
I built the “Stop to smell the summer” ensemble around the V-Neck Fitted Bottom Tunic from KRELwear. The tunic is a great anchor piece for this ensemble, because it’s extremely wearable, feminine and flirty. Made from an easy to wear cotton fabric, it drapes the body for incredible fit. It’s a great layering piece that any woman should have in her closet; it can double as a top and comfortably carry you into the fall season. This is the kind of piece that you can dress up with heels and feminine accents, or dress down with moccasins, boho bag and jeans. I chose it in ivory, because it’s one of the best summer colors; it’s also available in black or gold for a more dressy look for the evening.
I decided to go with feminine accents to dress up the tunic, by adding beautiful and delicate accessories, such as the ultra feminine EA 539 earrings and RI 00771 cut out ring from Catalina De La Torre. The dangly earrings with white agate add a whimsy and sophistication that works beautifully in such a feminine outfit. The ring features gold vermeil over silver, and its cut out circles are reminiscent of sun-kissed grapes. To round out the feminine jewelry set, I chose the Margaret bracelet from Kim Marie Designs. This gorgeous piece features mother of pearl and rose quartz, together with delicate gold accents and chains.
To continue the theme of beautiful, handmade items, I added the Chantal hair piece from Katie Burley Couture Millinery and the Rosie hand painted clutch. The Chantal hair piece is hand shaped and sewn, and compliments our ensemble with its magical, whimsical vintage glamour. The Rose handbag is made from beautiful hand painted cotton material, accented with gold thread. This is not a regular clutch; you can actually hang on to it with a gold leather strap in the back.
No LUX ensemble would be complete without at least one recycled / eco-friendly item. I chose the “Songs without Words” origami brooch from Bakas Artysta. Made from 8 pieces of origami, it’s like a paper butterfly that has landed on our outfit to remind us to be good to our environment.
