THE ART OF ELISE FRANCESCA.....PLUS A TANK DRESS GIVEAWAY!!!


Happy Wednesday my dear friends! I'm so EXCITED today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to "THE ART OF ELISE FRANCESCA".

Elise recently found my blog and contacted me about her designs, as they are a PERFECT match for all things Spring and Preppy!  A little information about Elise's designs and business, directly from her Facebook page:

Elise Francesca Fargnoli co-founded FRANCESCA JOY, with Carolyn Roy, an interior designer in Palm Beach. They came together with their love for design, couture, and color.


FJ is a home decor/lifestyle collection based on Elise's designs and paintings. The collection includes tote bags, t-shirts, and chemises- all of which are hand painted and designed by Elise. Tote bags are currently sold in South Florida, while the home decor line (including items for pets) will launch March 2010 in Designer Avenue, Palm Beach.

Along with starting her own company, Elise is currently represented by Agora Gallery, in the heart of the art district of NYC. Exhibitions are expected for this July 2010.

Elise designs some of the most gorgeous bags in delightful designs. The prices range from $120-$160 for the small and large totes, respectively. 

You can view the artist website HERE. If you're interested in viewing more of the designs, become a fan of Elise on Facebook HERE where you can see even more photos!

Elise has branched out into clothing! Her first pieces are the tank dress and t-shirt shown below, which comes in sizes S-XL and are priced at $60 for the tank/dress and $75 for the t-shirt. If you order prior to March 19, you will also receive $10 off! You can contact Elise directly to place your order at : francescaelise@hotmail.com.

As an added bonus, Elise is generously sponsoring a GIVEAWAY for Shopaholic readers!!! You will receive the tank dress (in your size, of course) shown in the very first photo of this post. Elise will ship the tank directly to you! :-)

    I'm already a fan on facebook. I love both of them, but if I had to pick, I'd say the tank dress. I'm entering in all the other ways, except twitter, because I don't have one, and don't plan on getting one.

    Well this is strange, but it looks like my first entry disappeared! I chose the gorgeous tank/chemise as my fave even though I adore the totes. I live in Palm Beach and would love to visit her new boutique soon. If I can get special permission to take some photos and do a short intervivew, I will do a social media review and send it to you!

    two last week I've looked some info about Elisa Francesca, until for a stroke of luck I found your page, where I definitely get the exact information of what I was looking for.

    However, the most incredible is the quantity of buy viagra blogs that I had to evade to find the correct blog.
    Thanks for the info!

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

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
