Our Exclusive Size Chart

Why don't you use the standard size chart?
Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Shoppe Lula Mae is why our size chart is different. At Shoppe Lula Mae, we believe that style comes in all shapes and sizes. We know of so many women who cut the tags out of their clothes, bearing their size, because they want to wear what fits, without having to be labeled by a number or a size. So we took this idea and we ran with it! We've replaced the standard "Small, Medium, Large" size chart with the names of our favorite style icons, that have proved to the world, that style doesn't come in any particular shape or size. We've even added fun and inspiring quotes from our favorite style icons, that best represent their views on their measurements that they were proud to have!

When you look in your closet after shopping at Shoppe Lula Mae you'll see sexy, sleek and sophisticated clothing, inspired by the style icons of the 1950's, 60's & so on. And arguably, the best part is you won't ever be labeled by a number or a size again. You'll never see a tag bearing your size in an article of clothing purchased at Shoppe Lula Mae, because we believe, "you're not a number you're an icon!"

Which Style Icon am I?
To find out which style icon you are, measure: around the fullest part of your bust, the smallest part of your waist (right above your navel) and around the widest part of your hips. Your style icon will be based on your largest measurement.

What if I don't have a measuring tape?
Not a problem! Even though our size chart is exclusive to our website, it's easy to figure out your Style Icon. Our size chart has the same measurements as every other standard misses size chart; we've simply changed the numbers to the names of our favorite style icons. Our size chart measurements start with a women's size small/Audrey and ends with a women's size 1X/Sophia.
  • For example if you typically wear a medium in tops, you would wear Jackie in our tops.
  • If you typically wear an XLarge in pants, you would wear Marilyn in our pants.
  • And if you typically wear a Large in dresses, you would wear Elizabeth in our dresses.

I'm still not sure what size I am, Help!
If you have any questions on sizing please feel free to contact us, we will be happy to help!

Take Pride in Your Eyebrows!

Like everything else that comes back in style,
full eyebrows are no different!

l

If there's one thing all of our style icons have in common it's understanding the most importance of grooming your eyebrows! Your eyebrows frame your face and can give you a more distinct look. And if done well, a more youthful appearance! Whatever shape you find most flattering for your eyebrows, the makeup artists at Shoppe Lula Mae recommend always coloring your eyebrows in. Properly groomed eyebrows give a fuller, more polished look! And always, always, always add a highlight under the brow to really open your eyes and show definition!
 
Here are some tips:
If you have light, barely noticeable eyebrows, and you are coloring them in for definition pick a color that is very close to your current eyebrow color. You don't need to pick an extreme color to define your eyebrows. As you apply the color to your brows you will notice them gradually appear more defined* without looking fake.
 
If you already have dark eyebrows pick a shade lighter than the color of your eyebrows. Once your begin to apply the lighter color to your brows you will notice how the color will blend in with your actual eyebrow color and will give you more defined* eyebrows. This is the trick to not having your eyebrows look fake or drawn on. You never want your eyebrows to take the focus away from the rest of your features. You simply want them to compliment your eyes and the rest of your face!
 
*For extra definition:
Once you finish coloring in your eyebrows, take your concealer (or a shade lighter than you normally use, if available) and with a thin brush apply the concealer right below your brow, as if you were "tracing" or "underlining" your eyebrows. Be sure to blend in the concealer then apply a highlight color for an extra glow (don't be afraid to use a little shimmer here!)
 
You can purchase an inexpensive eyebrow pencil at CVS, Walgreens, or your local beauty supply store. If your on a budget, an eyebrow pencil is something you should take advantage of getting for cheap! We recommend eyeslipsface.com, you can find one for around $3.
If your a little more experienced you can pick up a small angle brush, we recommend brush #266 from MACcosmetics.com along with an eye shadow color of your choice.
This brush can also be used for applying eye liner... But we'll leave that for another blog!

Moonriver and Me

WHERE DID WE GET OUR NAME FROM?
The name is inspired by the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. For those of you unfamiliar with Breakfast at Tiffany's... We suggest you watch it! We wouldn't want to spoil anything for you but we know you'll appreciate this post and who we are, so much more!
 
FACTS WE FIND FUN!
 
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a novella by Truman Capote published in 1958. The main character, Holly Golightly, is one of Capote's best-known creations and an American cultural icon.
 
The novella was loosely adapted into the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn. Capote originally envisioned Marilyn Monroe as Holly, and lobbied the studio for her. But, the film was done at Paramount, and though Monroe did independent films, including for her own production company, she was still under contract with Twentieth Century Fox, and had just completed Let's Make Love with Yves Montand.
 
In early drafts of the story Holly was named Connie Gustafson; Capote later changed her name to Holiday Golightly. "As Miss Golightly was saying before she was so rudely interrupted"... Could you imagine a world without Miss Golightly? We can't!

Holly likes to shock people with carefully selected tidbits from her personal life or her outspoken viewpoints on various topics. "It's useful being top banana in the shock department." A trait shared by both Miss Golightly and Erika Forlini, founder of ShoppeLulaMae.com

Erika received Breakfast at Tiffany's on her 17th birthday from her then boyfriend, Joey. A movie she said, changed her life. Ten years later Erika and Joey reconnected. Today, more than just the movie, she credits her boyfriend Joey for changing her life.

Vintage Inspired Boutique

Welcome to our Shoppe Lula Mae blog!


What is Shoppe Lula Mae?
Shoppe Lula Mae is an online clothing boutique for the women who know who they are and embrace it. The thing we find most important and want to relay to all women is; it's not about the size you wear, it's about wearing what fits you. At Shoppe Lula Mae the clothes are inspired by the style icons of the 1950's & 60's that had bodies like us! So it would only make sense that we replace the standard small, medium, large size chart with the names of our favorite style icons. Those same icons that let us know, style doesn't come in sizes. Not sure exactly what that means? Be sure to visit ShoppeLulaMae.com on November 26, 2013 when we launch our online clothing boutique!

At Shoppe Lula Mae you're not a number, you're an icon.
