Christmas Shopping....

Is it just me, or do you also find it difficult to stay focused this time of year??? When shopping for everyone on your Christmas list, are you also tempted "one for them, one for me"??? Yep, that's my problem too. Especially when the deals are soooo good!

I do the majority of my shopping online. It's so convenient, and I ♥ getting a box from UPS. I can hear the UPS truck a half mile away, and where I live at the beach, there aren't many people around this time of year. When I hear that familiar sound, I KNOW it's my package!

When I lived up north (that would be NORTH Carolina, not the "real" north!) I had access to GREAT shopping. Nordstrom, Saks, Restoration Hardware, Sephora, Ulta, a huge Belk with a Lilly Pulitzer department that would blow your mind.......I must admit I MISS that shopping. Now I'm addicted to certain brands, and of course I cannot buy them locally. Thank goodness for the internet!

Are you shopping online this year, or braving the crowds in the stores? Let me hear from you!

    I keep hearing about Etsy too! I also buy (and sell!) a TON of stuff on Ebay.

    Funny story, I heard a truck today and got ALL excited as I'm not "expecting" any UPS. It was Fedex and sadly, no package for me. But I did hear them coming - maybe next time I'll be receiving a delivery from Santa! :-)

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke
