I Love Lucy

By

I’ve got a new e-friend named Lucy that I’d like to introduce you to today.

She’s one of the most entertaining little gals I’ve ever e-met and I think her YouTube videos are more fun to watch then most shows on TV. I came across this one she did about “jazzing” up her outfits with scarves last year…

Some of my favorite parts are:

(:31) “This is like, um, the one I like because it’s kind of funky, you know?”
(1:31) “How cute is this sweater?!”
(2:22) “It’s like, jazzy, you know?”
(2:48) “There’s a style. You know it?”
(3:03) “It can be anything that you can do, but it has to be jazzy up, you know?”
(4:07) “Because, you know me, I like it to jazz up, you know?”
(4:37) “Even you can even put a hat on, just go to the gym with a scarf on- HOW CUTE, IT ‘LL BE!”
(5:04) “Okay, you are never, ever, scream…look at this scarf right now. You know, I love Hannah Montana, that’s right!”
(7:19) “It’s jazzed up. I loved it jazzed.”

I also love this one she did about setting a kids table…

A girl after my own photo stylin’ heart!

After seeing that one, I emailed Dawn (Lucy’s mom) and asked her if I could share it (and the scarf one) here on my blog. I was pumped she said yes, and told her if Lucy ever felt inspired to do one about kids room decorating ideas, me and TLC would love to hear her ideas about that too! A couple of weeks later, a brand spankin’ new video, made especially for all of us, landed in my inbox. Click the play button below to watch…

Note to Lucy: Thank you so much for recording this video for us!! The storage baskets, closet curtains and book cradle are all awesome ideas and I know a lot of people will be inspired by them when they see your video!

Note to Dawn: Thank you for letting Lucy “come over”! She is just so much sunshine to the square inch and I wish y’all lived closer so I could bear hug ya both today!

Note to Lucy fans: If you have a moment to leave Lucy a comment today, I know she would be so happy to hear from you. (XO) Also, Lucy will be back here soon with another fun (giveaway) video, so stay tuned for that sometime in May!

    Lucy, I love your idea for the cradle of books! We have a cradle in my daughter’s room that is not used for dolls anymore. We are definitely going to do this.

    As a magazine writer I’ve had the chance to work with wonderful stylists over the years, and I have to say that Lucy is a born stylist! I think the stylists I know better watch out…Lucy is coming to take your jobs! 🙂

    Great job Lucy, keep doing what you love and do so well!

    I am rushing right upstairs to add a scarf to my outfit. I knew there was something missing — it needs jazzing up! Thank you for sharing those three fabulous videos and introducing me to the adorable, talented, beautiful Lucy! 🙂

  13. Sue

    Thanks so much Layla! I loved Lucy…and these “Jazzy” videos!

    *Note to Lucy…
    Dear Lucy…you have such a sparkle about you, and a special gift from God…you make people smile!

    I loved your videos…especially the one with the scarves…where you looked all “jazzy” and “funky” and cute!

    And wow…you sure know how to set a lovely table! I liked that one too. And my goodness, you could be on HGTV and tell us all how to make our homes more decorative and cozy, and useful…like your pretty closet.

    I hope we see more videos from you in the future!

      This child could not have become the special light that she is without a remarkable family. Words fail to express my feelings about the people that created the environment for this little girl to blossom. What a delight to fill your life. I am envious. Ann Wilson

    Oh. My. Gosh. Lucy, you are so CUTE and so very talented! I love all your ideas and I think you have a great future in fashion and design ahead of you!! Thank you for sharing:)

    Ah! So providential you posted this. Two weeks ago I spent 30 minutes going back through all your posts looking for the link to Lucy’s scarf video to show my mom. She is a doll! As a mama of two boys she makes me want a sweet girl SO badly!

  31. catie

    i am thrilled to see this latest installment.
    going now to find a cradle for my books & curtains for my closet.
    i LOVE lucy!

  34. Amber

    My 3 yr old watched this with me, and she said “I like that video, Mommy. She’s a funny girl! *giggling*” And I love the cradle tip – we actually have one just like that, but never thought to use it for books – great idea, Lucy 🙂

  35. Lisa W.

    OMG THANK you for just making my day!!! I love it…I cannot wait to show my daughter these video’s. She is the cutest little thing ever!!! AND she’s good REAL good! LOVE…thanks Layla:)

  36. Melinda

    Thanks Layla for sharing Lucy. Lucy, I love your name by the way and you have great style ! Your sandals are to die for !!!

  37. Pamela

    Oh, Lucy! You just make my heart sing! You are so fun and adorable!
    I loved your video on setting the kid’s table – especially the tiered plates “loaded up with goodies”. I am going to remember that.
    In the closet video, it was like you were having a little visit with us. I like the furry ottoman you were sitting on and the book cradle is so unique! The colors in your room are cheerful, too.
    Thank you for sharing with us! You are charming!

  38. Maureen

    I was having such a bad day, and then I got your post and watched Lucy!! OMG, she is ADORABLE! (and JAZZY of course!). How could that not cheer me up? I am so glad you let me know about her, I will follow her regularly. Can’t wait until she returns to the Lettered Cottage!

    Thanks for making my day,
    Maureen

  39. Kate

    Bonjour, Lucy! I watched your videos all the way in Paris, France! You know, the French wear scarves with EVERYTHING and I so need some help learning how to do the jazzy scarf ties. If you are ever in Paris, please come over and give me a lesson in scarf tying. I really need your help.
    Merci!
    Kate

    I’m dying over here – Lucy is adorable! She’s like 6 going on 25! Not only does she have some amazing tips, but she’s an excellent “tv” personality. I am so impressed by her (and even more impressed that her mom manages not to chuckle at all while she’s taping!). Just love her – can’t wait to see more videos!

  41. Krys72599

    Dear Lucy,
    Thanks for your great videos. You know a lot about clothes, and decorating, and you have a great style that’s all your own. I know your mommy is very proud of you and Layla, “the blogger,” must be so thrilled you did a video especially for her! I’m going to go to your mom’s blog now and read all about you. Thanks for making these videos. You’re very smart AND very cute!
    Krys

  42. Mary

    Great video Lucy! You are a natural in front of the camera and you always make me smile! 🙂

  43. Lisa

    Oh my heck! She is so cute and precocious little girl. I loved her videos. I see a future TLC or HGTV star there. 😉

  44. Anne

    Lucy,
    You have a technique and a camera presence that will serve you well. Your mom must be proud.

  46. Ann W

    Lucy! I Love your Videos! I think you have a future as a TV star. A mini-Martha! Do some videos about cooking. What I like about you is that you are fearless. You are not afraid of the camera, and you have a message for your viewers. How about some videos about outfits? You could tell kids what they need in their wardrobe. For instance, what to wear with jeans to be jazzy. What to wear to a party, or what to wear out to eat pizza. Your mom is the best camera person. Do you think you have enough clothes or do you need to shop a lot? You have made my day. Love, Ann from Connecticut.

    • Emily Kephart

      Ann thank you for your kind words. I think we are a wonderful family and supply a good and healthy environment for Lucy.She has been a blessing to everyone since the first day she arrived. We are very lucky to have her. Thank you again for your lovely email

  48. Amanda

    This has got to be my favorite blog post I have ever read. I have subscirbed to her Mom’s blog and will probably spend the next couple of hours watching her videos 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing – I love Lucy too 🙂
