Stories by LuLu's

LuLu’s is much more than a clothing boutique. To many people it is like an extended part of their family. People know they can visit anytime and feel at home when they enter. Many memories and stories can be made through a relationship like this. I am sure many of you remember anxiously shopping for back to school clothes at LuLu’s. Or the time you needed the perfect dress for a special occasion and there it appeared, hanging in the front window. LuLu’s blog would like to begin sharing your favorite memories from the shop. Therefore we will be adding a special section to the blog called Stories by LuLu’s. We invite you to comment and share your favorite memories and stories about your LuLu’s family. In the meantime enjoy these two stories:

Boy’s Toys

As most mothers know their children very much dislike occupying them on shopping trips! While shopping the other day a mother brought her son into LuLu’s. Of course the little boy was hesitant to go into a clothing shop with his mother. He dreaded going to a place he had no interest in while waiting for his mother to try on clothes. As he entered the store he rested his eyes on a toy box in corner. His eyes grew wide and he shouted with joy, “Wow Mom, I have hit the jack pot!”

Little People, Big Problems

The other day three sisters came into the shop. They began to play dress-up which quickly led to quarreling amongst them. Finally to settle them down, Brandi began asking them what they knew about drama and problems. How could these children experience any drama in their short lives that would amount to this much noise? One of the girls turned around with sass and said, “Yes we do have major problems. We are too small to fit into any of these clothes.” And you thought you had problems!

Game Day Flair

College football starts this weekend! There is nothing more exciting than attending the game and supporting your favorite team. You can already hear the thundering roar of the crowd, the taste of refreshing beer and the sea of people dressed in your team’s colors.

For those of you who live for fashion, being restricted to jersey and caps doesn’t allow you to show your personal style. You want a game day outfit with flair! LuLu’s has a great selection to make your game day outfit POP with your team’s colors! At LuLu’s you will find an assortment of dresses, skirts and cute tops. Colors include garnet, black, purple, orange and blue. Come in or shop online for stylish ways to represent your team!

Shop and Wine

LuLu’s is conveniently located across the street from Vintage, a wine shop with a great selection of wines and beers. What better to pair your shopping excursion with than a glass of wine! With LuLu’s and Vintage this is possible. The next time you are looking for the perfect bottle of wine or beer to bring to a party, pair your selection with the perfect outfit.

The Sophisticated Dinner Party

Your next event is a sophisticated dinner party and you are unsure what to bring or what to wear. You know two things: 1. the hostess enjoys red wine and 2. you want to dazzle everyone with the perfect dress. Try the Velvet Devil Merlot paired with The “Blue Ruffled Tank” Dress. The two classics will dazzle party-goers with a modern twist.

The Backyard Barbecue

Summertime is notorious for backyard barbeques and you are invited to one next weekend! You want to bring a unique and refreshing beer to the barbeque. Try the Dogfish Head Beer! (The name alone is unique.) For a relaxed yet fun look pair this beer with the “Cute and Ruffled” dress in tan or blue. Your choice!

Brunch on the Patio

You are hosting a brunch on the patio for your closest friends. Consider using the Sun Garden Riesling, fresh fruit and juice for a tantalizing Sangria recipe. Be a warm and welcoming hostess in the “Bursting Colors” dress. The pair will be sure to impress your guests!

Goldilocks Finds the Perfect Fit

Once upon a time, I went in search for the perfect summer wedge. I needed something comfortable yet fashionable to wear on a long journey to New York City. I searched many shops in the small village of Hartsville. In one shop the shoes were too big. In another shop the wedges were too uncomfortable. Defeated and weary I thought the perfect shoes were nowhere to be found. One day while window-shopping I stumbled upon a beautiful shop called LuLu’s, tucked away in town. I entered to find a variety of stylish shoes and was immediately drawn to a pair of Eric Michael fuchsia wedges. I tried on the wedges and they fit perfectly. I could now rest knowing that the perfect pair of wedges had been found. Not only did I find the perfect shoes that day but I found an opportunity to write for LuLu’s blog. My name is Lindsey Gainey and I will be a guest blogger for LuLu’s Boutique. I look forward to writing posts for LuLu’s followers and customers.
