Hi, I’m Loulou
A gal with an entrepreneurial spirit, sharing a love of fashion, beauty, accessories, healthy habits and DIY.
I’m a former Fashion & Accessory Designer and Beauty Therapist. These days I pour that creative energy into Here I Am Loulou, a personal space where I write about DIY projects, beauty tips, accessories, fashion finds, pretty things, and healthy habits.
This blog is my little corner for the things I genuinely love: making things by hand, eating well, and finding beauty in everyday details.

Loulou's journey into the world of fashion and beauty began long before this blog existed. With a background as a Fashion and Accessory Designer and a trained Beauty Therapist, she developed a deep understanding of how personal style and self-care intersect. These experiences taught her that true beauty isn't about following every trend, but about discovering what makes you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. That philosophy now shapes everything shared on this page. Whether experimenting with a new skincare routine or styling an accessory in an unexpected way, the goal remains the same: helping readers find small ways to feel more like themselves every single day.
Healthy habits are woven into the fabric of this space, not as rigid rules but as gentle, sustainable practices. From nourishing salads featuring fresh shrimp, mango, and avocado to quick tips for staying hydrated and energized, the focus is on wellness that fits into real life. Loulou believes that taking care of your body and mind doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. Small shifts, like choosing a cleansing routine that respects your skin or preparing a simple, colorful meal, can add up to meaningful change. It is about progress, not perfection, and celebrating the little victories that keep you moving forward with a positive outlook.
DIY and upcycling hold a special place in Loulou's creative heart. Having worked in accessory design, she knows the thrill of transforming ordinary materials into something beautiful and personal. This blog explores projects that breathe new life into old shirts, repurpose forgotten household items, and encourage thoughtful making over mindless buying. There is a quiet satisfaction in crafting something with your own hands, whether it is a home decor piece or a restyled garment. These projects are designed to be accessible, fun, and inspiring for crafters of all skill levels, proving that creativity is something everyone can tap into regardless of experience.
The aesthetic of this site mirrors the values at its core: warm, inviting, and thoughtfully arranged. Soft coral tones meet deep navy blues, creating a palette that feels both energetic and grounded. Rounded corners, generous spacing, and playful typography give the space a friendly, approachable feel, much like the content itself. Photography is used generously to capture the texture of real life, from sunlit mornings by the coast to quiet moments of reflection. Every design choice is intentional, meant to make readers feel at home. This is a place where fashion, beauty, and everyday wellness come together in a way that feels honest, joyful, and completely human.
