We're doing something we've never done before! We're selling direct to the public. We normally only sell to retail boutiques, and we will return to that very soon. But we are celebrating Fashion Fest 2010, the biggest fashion event in Denver, and we will be accepting direct orders at that event. So we wanted to open it up beyond that event and offer it to all our other fans out there as well!
We will be accepting orders on current stock merchandise, as well as made to order from our current production line for one week only. Orders will be accepted from Friday, July 30th through Friday, August 6th. Stock merchandise will ship within 2 weeks, made to order will ship in approximately 6 weeks. Flip through the catalogs below, select what you want at the special Fashion Fest price and email us at info@lamanblu.com. Ordering sizes are 2T-6x. If you have any questions about the garments or how to order, just email or call at 720-837-1452. We will invoice you via PayPal and when payment is received, we will put your order into work.

Thanks for a great Fashion Fest rehearsal!
We had our final fittings and rehearsal for Fashion Fest 2010 on Monday evening. All of our beautiful models got to try on their outfits for the show and we practiced our walking, twirling and just a touch of actual choreography.
It was a toasty day and the girls were so patient trying on some fall/holiday items in the heat for the show. We even have a new model who followed our tweet to the rehearsal and we are so excited to have her participate!
Our thanks goes out to our models, their parents and the Fashion Fest organizers for all of their help and hard work. We're looking forward to a great show!
This event is free to the public, or you can purchase VIP tickets and will be Saturday, July 31st from 4:00 to 9:00 in Olde Town Arvada. LamanBlu's Fashion Show will be at 7:00pm. For more information - http://denver.metromix.com/events/fair_festival/fashion-fest-2010-arvada/1900213/content

Fashion Fest 2010 is Almost Here!
As we're getting the final touches on our show for Fashion Fest (coming up in a week and a half), we wanted to share some of the photos from our model casting call.
We're putting together an exciting show - we're going to share our Fall/Holiday 2010 collection, which is arriving in stores now. We're also going to give a sneak peak of our Spring/Summer 2011 collection - which retailers are buying now and consumers will see in stores come next spring.
Fashion Fest is the buzz of the town, with the local newspapers talking us up as well as 303 Magazine and Westword. Stay tuned for more, or contact us for information on how to attend. info@lamanblu.com

Spring 2011 Preview Showings
AND WE'RE OFF!
It's been a fast a furious couple of weeks on the road previewing our Spring/Summer 2011 Collection with retailers and we're so excited we just had to share it with you.
Let's face it, spring and summer are all about picnics, gardens, afternoons by the lake (or river or seaside) and all about fun! It's the spirit of what we're bringing in our collection to honor the season and it's certainly generating a buzz.
Early out of the gate favorites are our sumer dresses in colors ranging from Bright White to Gossamer Pink to Violetto to Bright Chartreuse. Our custom florals ranging from roses to orchids to crayon stripes are being fabulously received and are renewing our determination to have our own atelier garden next year - we are just arguing about how much should be devoted to flowers and how much to veggies!
Our new infant sets are creating a buzz paired with toddler and/or little girl outfits for sister looks in a variety of styles.
Our bamboo knits, always a best seller - BTW - did you know that bamboo absorbs water 3 to 4 times better than cotton, making it cooler in the summer? It is also naturally antibacterial, antifungal and antistatic. What more could you want in a summer cloth? Our bamboo knits continue to be the core hit of the season, but we've also introduced extremely high quality cotton/lycra knits to provide sharper price points. Cotton has gotten a bad rap over the years as not being very environmentally friendly. However in recent years, cotton growers have reduced their use of pesticides by 50% and cut back on irrigated water by 45%, all while producing substantially higher yields on the same acreage. We've locked down a supply you will find very attractive (not just in price point but also in hand). And it's proving to be a good choice for all the research and testing time we've spent to develop the supply!
The Jasmine pant has also created a stir paired with all types of tanks as well as modest hip length swing t's.
The photo shoots are complete and we're working on the lookbook now. We will share it when it's complete but we were so excited by both the collection and the prelim responses from the road that we couldn't wait!

LamanBlu Reveals Spring/Summer 2011 Trends
LamanBlu reveals its Spring/Summer 2011 trend presentation to the public. LamanBlu melds the grace and beauty of both women’s and children’s trend forecasting in its spring/summer 2011 line, which for this season, is all about a floral still life.
Golden, Colorado – July 7, 2010 - Pantone expresses the importance of family fun and outdoor play for the upcoming summer. This is directly reflected in to the anticipated trends for LamanBlu. Fun wear for children that is practical enough to wear to the park or enjoy a day in the sun, yet stylish enough to wear for an evening out. Enjoying life and its small pleasures are what summer is all about and none of this is lost in the vision of LamanBlu’s spring/summer collection.
Bright saturated colors, floral motifs, balance and symmetry are all prevalent themes for the upcoming spring/summer season and LamanBlu has created beautiful inspirations for the spring/summer 2011 line with these elements in mind. Handcrafted orchid prints, blazing violet and vibrant pink solids as well as artfully produced ombre tye dyes mark the beginning of the spring/summer ensembles for young girls.
As always from LamanBlu, the line will present bold and classic designs with the complex detailing put into every piece. Small roses and delicate ribbon will adorn the garments to emphasize the beauty created by Mother Nature and as a compliment to the innocence of childhood. Custom floral prints and oversized botanical flower screen prints enhance the feel of the season.

What a Great Casting Call!
We had such a great time yesterday at the LamanBlu casting call for Fashion Fest 2010. dNote proved to be such a great place to hold our event and the Baby Boogie started toward the end of our model tryouts so many of the kids stayed and played instruments and danced on the stage! (dNote also serves some of the best pizza I've had in a long time!)
Downtown Toys & Games graciously provided coloring and other activities for the kids so there was plenty to do during the entire event.
I'd like to thank our models and their parents most of all. All of the girls were so beautiful and we had so much fun trying on clothes and learning how to walk on stage (and of course, doing lots and lots of twirling). Some of the girls had previous modeling experience, for some, this was their first time doing anything like this. The pros took the newbies under their wing and showed them what to do. And since we had so many ages, the older girls spent time helping the little ones and making sure they were safe up on the stage. It was very heartwarming to see kids helping kids.
We even had a few local stars of the stage turn out - here's a clip from one of these talented girls:
Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming Fashion Fest!
