I'd get the peach mini skirt, because it's peach and peach goes with everything: http://www.lulus.com/products/jill-frost-peach-mini-skirt/49755.html

I really love the Final Answer Short Sleeve top. I would get it in white and pair it with the Business as Usual blazer, Cheap Monday grey skinnies, and blush-colored patent kitten pumps. Top it off with big, black glasses.

My bowling nickname is Cheesy Cakes, but it's tongue & cheek, because I don't actually get strikes.

Kind of in love with the Gazebo Get Together Teal Dress. I love a good pastel teal color, lace, and summer dresses and this piece combines the best of all three. I think my first outfit would be very feminine and vintage. I would wear the dress with a drapey/overize light beige trench coat with bow detail, white knit patterned bobby socks, beige wedge/flatform shoe - like the Bonnibel Elmo Camel Platform Wedge Sandal - and boater hat to top of the look. Perfect for a warm spring day!

Unfortunately, I don't bowl so I don't have a clever bowling nickname whatsoever. :[

Hello! My name is Laken Brooks- lakenbrooks@yahoo.com

One of my fave items from lulus might just be this lovely wrap-around skirt. http://www.lulus.com/products/vivid-dreams-print-wrap-skirt/51551.html

What can I say? It's summery, airy and feminine! I'd style it with some cute sandals or perhaps even some vintage oxfords, along with a neutral/leather bag and some more simple accessories: that way, the pattern of this skirt would really pop!

Leila said...

I'd get these bad boys! : http://www.lulus.com/products/shoe-republic-la-visalia-gold-floral-tapestry-platform-booties/50347.html

I'd pair them with an eggshell-colored lace dress, with big sleeves and delicate gold jewelery.

As for my bowling name--it's always "Sex Machine," which is incredibly embarrassing. (It was my gamer tag when I used to play Halo with my guy friends as a joke, and it sort of stuck for the go to messing-around name).

Oh Lulu's! They always have such cute stuff. I'm currently admiring this coral top:
http://www.lulus.com/products/v-sionary-coral-top/51429.html

For the rest of my ensemble, I'd go with a pair of vintage zig zag Missoni shorts I own, a Navajo turquoise cuff, and strappy beige sandals.

My bowling name is "Butters" because a. I am one clumsy gal, and b. my gullibility reminds my friends of the South Park character Butters. ;-)

xo,
Margaret

Oh my goodness, this would be so amazing to win! I just adore Lulus, so many awesome goodies. I'm loving the pretty neon colors for summer, so I like the New Hampshire Hideout Magenta Top (http://www.lulus.com/products/new-hampshire-hideout-magenta-top/51457.html). I think it would look so cute paired with coral colored jeans and black flats or black wedged sandals. Fun way to mix and match with colorblocking! :)
Thanks!

The Aim-To-Please top is perfect for just about any summer outfit! I have just hemmed 4 pencil skirts in bright yellow, kelly green, royal blue and hot pink and this top would go great with each. I'd wear some yellow pumps and this huge silver and turqouise necklace I have. and my hair in a side pony tail!

I love the Family Tree Peach and Mint Dress found here:
http://www.lulus.com/products/family-tree-peach-and-mint-dress/51167.html
I would style it with some nude stripy wedges with a colored sole, a summer straw hat, and some sort of delicious tropical drink.

I don't actually have a bowling moniker, as usually whoever I am bowling with types in something obscene for me before I get the chance to figure out how to work the machine.

Yay! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

I quite fancy the Spin Me Round Coral Red Skirt:

I'd throw it on with a crisp white sleeveless button-up top, mini wedge sandals, and a woven straw tote bag!

I haven't been bowling in over a year, and I'm no good at it, so I'd rather not think about what people would give me as a bowling name.
