If I were to dream up a perfect eyewear line, it would look like this: fine, beautifully-detailed sunglasses that come in butterfly-shaped, velvet-lined cases… Lucky for me, I don’t need to spend another second day-dreaming because two girls from New York quit their day jobs to start Lumete, a luxury eyewear line, and dedicated their lives to making magical sunglasses. I was overjoyed to receive a pair of Reverse Eclipse Dramoletes in the mail, which I sported immediately with mint-green lipstick & a flowery dress — a perfect marriage of feminine & bold!
- Dress: Betsey Johnson
- Sunglasses: Lumete Reverse Eclipse Dramolet
- Shoes: Poetic License
- Lipstick: Mint To Be
By the way, I wanted to thank everybody for buying & supporting my own independent label, Lime Crime. We’re out (or almost out) of a couple shades again, and are making more, as usual. It’s been a bit crazy; no matter how much stock we make, we keep selling out. So thank you!!! ❤
Love Mint To Be on you! :)
aww you looks so beautiful, this make me feel pleasure seeing , u r very inspiring Doe :) ♥ ☺
My daughter says “oooh I like her lips!”
I said “I like her sunglasses!”
She replied “OH LOOK AT HER SHOOOOES!!!”
We love you! <3 <3 <3

I just had to thank you for introducing me to this line of glasses! Love, love, love!

Did you draw that picture?

I did, I was very inspired. :)
I think those glasses would be stunning with retrofuturist or a deep/bright blueish purple lipstick.
Gorgeous glasses. Definitely need to go check them out.
Also, I was curious how you’re feeling about MAC coming out with a mint green lipstick in their latest collection?

I didn’t see it yet, which collection was it?

Its called “summer shower.” Its part of their FashionFlower collection. It seems like its a bit more pastel and less opaque.

Sorry, a bit of a correction, its described as a “light aqua.” I haven’t seen it in person.

I’ll stop spamming your blog! Sorry, I checked out the color and its just a green nude shimmer. So unless Hailey was talking about another color then its nothing like Mint To Be.

Cool! I think it looks awesome in the tube, but a bit deceptive on the lips hehe.
O…M….G!!!!!!! This outfit is so totally awesome! Your hair, the glasses, the lipstick, the cute dress and your white skin. Its perfect! I love it! Definitely the best ive ever seen on you!
i know where these were taken :D

Did you live in the neighborhood? It’s so beautiful around here, I’m itching to take pictures on every corner!
Waw! The glasses with its thin black contours, the lipstick and the dress, it all fits together like it was meant to be! It reminds me of a cartoon, too. In the best way of course :D

Maybe it is all mint to be! ;)
Are your lipsticks still in Space.nk? I’m about to finish up the semester and one of the things I want to do as soon as I’m home is head to Space.nk and pick up a couple lipsticks!

Yes, they are! However, the Pop Romance collection is only available online at the moment due to display limitations.
Wow! How cute! ^.^ In the sixth picture, you look like a nymph paying a visit from your magical world because of the lighting :)

My goal exactly ;)
Hey Doe! I’ve been a huge fan of you for a long time. I have a project to do for an education class about people who had to learn english as their second language and I was wondering if you’d be interested in answering a few questions for me. I’d love to be the only person in the class with a celebrity interview!! I have to finish it this weekend, so let me know. If not, no problem! Thanks for making such awesome beauty products and having an inspiring blog.

Would love to help you out, Lyric. Email the questions to doedeere @ gmail.com
I love the sunglasses! I can’t wait till I get contacts so I can just throw on any sunglasses I want. That dress is so super awsome, where did you get it? Daisys are my favorite flower, I love them so much! This is one of the best outfits that I have seen on you. You know the only flower that would be better than regular daisys would be daisys with mint colored petals! Imagine some with mint petals amongst white ones! Fancy!

I really love that concept, Ashley! Makes me want to draw it :)
I love how you keep selling out of lipsticks! Just wondering, were you interested in the Royal Wedding at all?
Doe Deere Reply:
April 30, 2011 at 12:04 pm
I saw the pictures, SO beautiful! Only the royal family could put so much effort into their wedding, for our entertainment!
Aw, your so beautiful! Btw, I’m SO Happy to see my favourite makeup on my favourite website! Mod Cloth + Lime Crime make my life <3

We love ModCloth! Susan (founder) and I go way back, when she was still promoting her clothes in my LiveJournal community. :) It’s incredible to see how much they’ve grown and even more do to be a part of it!

Dear Gina,
I love your blog! Thank you for supporting LC! xoxo
Ah I found my perfect glasses! And No!!! They are too expensive!! :)
Doe,
I just have to say… You make everything look amazing. I don’t know how you pull it off, because I swear a girl like me could never, in a million years, wear that dress/show/lip combo and look as fantastic as you. <3
Thank you for being such an inspiration!
Limecrime is amazing and it’s like a frolic with unicorns in a mystical garden! Mint to be has arrived and I treasure it so! Looks fabulous everywhere you go!
Doe Deere Reply:
April 30, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Yay! :D
Eeek! I NEED that dress, and of course, the only one I can find online is a finished ebay auction :(
You look amazing! It looks like you’re really enjoying living in LA!
Doe Deere Reply:

Keep checking eBay, that’s where I got mine — the dress is from a few seasons ago…
What unusual and interesting glasses. I really like them. And you paired them beautifully with that dress whose white flowers echo the glasses-color. Nobody dresses as well as you!

California is good for me. I didn’t used to be a good dresser, as you remember, and made quite a few of faux pas over the years! But the dark period is over.
I love those glasses, and you look awesome with the mint lipstick.
OMG, that lipstick looks SOOOO good on you!!!
I thought I rocked bold lips, and now I feel like a nun! I need it FOR YESTERDAY!!!! *_*
That daisy dress, wow!! Mint to Be is now my coveted color, for sure!
oh gosh! Mint lips never looked so good :3!
