Trouble installing theme

Hey there! I'm having trouble installing this theme both via the Appearance UI uploader and via FTP using this documentation (https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/extending-drupal/installing-themes). 

When I try to just upload the ZIP i get a .info files not found error. When I unzip the file and upload it via FTOP to my sites/all/themes directory, I see Lovely in appearance and can enable it/set as default, but when I go to my site it's missing the CSS/a lot of of the asset files and I imagine more. 

Any chance you can share some step-by-steps for how to install? It's my first time using Drupal :) 

Thanks!

Hey there! I'd ideally like to learn to do this myself for the future--can you please share a few specific steps so I can try first? Thanks!

That was very helpful! I think I'm almost there. Now, I get this on Verify Requirements:

Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled. Check the php.ini mbstring.http_input setting. Please refer to the PHP mbstring documentation for more information.

I read through the docs at here, then went to .htaccess and flipped the encoding_translation flag off:

# PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2.
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc                 off
  php_flag magic_quotes_sybase              off
  php_flag register_globals                 off
  php_flag session.auto_start               off
  php_value mbstring.http_input             off
  php_value mbstring.http_output            pass
  php_flag mbstring.encoding_translation    off
</IfModule>

I then went back to my browser, cleared the cache, and started the install process again, but got the same error. Any thoughts?
