The Fabulous Lula Blu....My Very First Commissioned Photo Shoot

Yes that's right!! My first commissioned photo shoot!
 
I was absolutely shocked when I received an
email a couple of weeks back, asking if I would
come and do a photo shoot for a boutique located
in Melbourne, Fl. It was totally unexpected,
but I was thrilled and humbled to be asked.
 
 
 Lula Blu is a unique upscale boutique
that features a modern combination of
New York, Miami, and European fashion styles.
You'll find elegance and sophistication with a
selection of diverse brands for customers of all ages.
 
They offer reasonably priced clothing, jewelry, and
accessories along with some higher end clothing lines.


 
From casual everyday wear, to that special dress for
romantic evenings out on the town..................
Lula Blu is the boutique for you!
 
As soon as you enter Lula Blu's.....you'll discover
the beauty inside with its
Shabby Chic and European decor styles,
just loaded with lots of eye candy and treasures
you'll find to hard to resist!


A totally delightful shopping experiance that will
leave you with wanting to go back again and again.
 
And....In support and promotion of  the areas local
artists, Lula Blu also carries various assortments of
their unique handmade/crafted items too.
 
Look at all this prettiness beckoning us inside!
 
 
 
These gorgeous dresses in the front window
caught my eye right off as I entered the store!!
I was dying to check them out!
 
So many pretty things in this window!!
I can't wait to take you inside!!
 







 
 
So....are you ready to take a peek inside!?
Well then, lets go on in!!!
 

First let me introduce you to the owner of Lula Blu....

Both very sweet and such fun to work with.
You must pay them a visit...they would love to see ya!

I saw this beautiful chandelier to my right
upon entering the store! Loved the whole display!
Totally loved the chandelier!

 
It's stunning! And the patina is to die for!
 


 
I love turtles so that turtle ring really stood out to me.
They had matching braclets and necklaces too!
Perfect peices for East coast living!
 
 
 

 



 
I even loved the table! There are several lovely pieces
of furniture in this shop....I would take it all!
 
I fell in love with all the gorgeous jewelry too!
So many beautiful pieces...........So much to see!
 
 
 
Loved how this was displayed!
Good thing my sweetie wasn't with me....
He would have told them to wrap this baby up!
HA! (he keeps forgetting how old I'm getting!)
 

 
 
 
 
This gorgeous mirror stopped me in my tracks!
And then I couldn't get my eyes off that chandelier!
 
 
I was totally taken by this gorgeous piece...just look at it!!!
 
 
 
 
 
and then as I was looking up, I spotted this beauty!
 

 
These were my two absolute favorites! Several more
will be seen through out the post. Some really unique
and beautiful chandeliers and for now....just for show.
 
 
I loved loved this chair!
 
 

 
 
 


 
 


 
 
 
I fell in love with all the mercury glass bottles....I want them!
 



 

 
 
 

 
More lovely chandeliers!
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
The clothing they offer is just beautiful!
And....there was so much more!
 
 
 
 
Ondrea calls this her "Mermaid Mannequin." Her favorite piece!
  
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
Loving this pillow!  I think I love everything in this store!!!
 




 
Lots of pretty handbags!

Honestly.....I didn't take photos of every piece either!  :)
 


 
This lamp was just stunning!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And the shabby chic furniture displays!......Gorgeous!
 
 
 
 
Just couldn't resist a few more shots of chandeliers!
 
 
Well.....that's it! It's time to say goodbye!
 
There was really so much more to see but I needed to leave
you with some mystery of what more there is to explore....
even though you must think I took shots of everything there!
 
But I didn't! It was very hard not to though.....I was having
a blast and wanted to keep on taking pictures! Everything I
looked at just kept screaming....picture, picture, picture!
 
I learned so much doing this photo shoot and was totally
honored to be asked to do this for Lula Blu.
