Lady LUX

2013, that’s a wrap! It was another successful year at LadyLUX and as we get ready to ring in the New Year, we reflect on some of our favorite moments from 2013. From fashion and beauty to events and interviews, this year we covered all things LUX. Cozy up with a cup of coffee and get a little nostalgic with us as we share some editorial highlights.

Fashion & Trends

From the runway, to retail to the street scene, we worked around the clock to bring you the year’s hottest trends and must-have fashions. 2013 was the year of the snake and we wore our fair share. We donned studs and spikes and chambray and took note of popular color trends. Readers enjoyed our must-have picks for handbags and footwear to guide them in retail stores. Fashion Week was always a busy time of year as we covered our favorite designers from New York, Paris, London and Milan. And who could forget the launch of menswear site, East Dane? It was a great year for fashion!

Beauty

We love everything beauty and in 2013 we kicked off the year with our LUX awards for best in beauty. Throughout the year we shared or favorite hair trends, styling tips and beauty must-haves for the season. From runway looks to new cosmetic collections, we’re always on the hunt for the next big thing. The history of lipstick kept it light and fun, while our seasonal nail art inspirations were always a favorite.

Travel

With travel comes new experiences and knowledge, two things we are all about at LadyLUX. From romantic getaways to exotic excursions, there was certainly something to fulfill any need for our fellow jet setters. For the travelling fashionistas, we featured the top shopping hotel locations and our favorite fashion inspired suites. If it’s luxury you’re after, don’t miss the most LUX hotel suites for a vacation fit for a queen.

Health & Wellness

We love our wellness community and thank all of our readers for tuning in this past year. The LadyLUX team participated in a 30 day challenge in January to set the tone for the year along with predicting wellness trends for 2013. Covering everything from fitness gadgets to yoga benefits and detox foods, we had a little bit of everything for our health conscious readers. Keep up with our Wellness Wednesday column for more interesting reads.

LUX Exclusives

Featuring exclusive interviews and designer profiles, we had the pleasure of sitting down with experts and fashion designers to bring our readers a little behind the scenes action and exclusive knowledge. Read up on LUV Aj’s inspiration behind her new leather line and catch up with designer Ruben Singer from NYC for your fashion fix. Dr. Junger and Dr. Amen kept us in the know with their book launches this year, while sex psychologist Brandy Engler helped us in the relationship department.

Events

It’s always nice to get out and see what’s going on in the world and we had the pleasure of attending some great events this year. We kept up with fashion by attending WWD Magic, Style Week OC, the CUT! costume design exhibit and the 5th Annual Designer and Their Muse event in Los Angeles. We met amazing wellness and eco-friendly brands at the BeWell Expo and were able to tempt our taste buds at the NYC Vegetarian Food Festival.

Causes

Sticking to our motto, “Good for the Sake of Good,” we can’t get enough of companies that give back. With great stories and teams behind them, there’s nothing better than a feel good story and helping others. Featuring clothing companies such as Kno Clothing, 541 Threads and Nau Sustainable Clothing, see how they help the homeless and give to the community. Read more about the Giving Keys and the Food Recovery Network to see how they inspired us.

Food

Embracing our inner foodie side this year, there was no shortage of delicious recipes on LadyLUX in 2013. For the chefs of the group, enjoy healthy recipes featuring kale and avocado, fancy dips and spreads and bite-size appetizers for the entertainers. Learn cooking basics for Thai and Mexican food, or let someone else do the cooking with these amazing culinary retreats.

We look forward to seeing you all in 2014!
