Shopaholic Confessions.......Breaking My Own Rules!!!

TGIF, Fashionistas! Are you all looking forward to the weekend? I have lots of fun planned, a dear BFF's 40th birthday celebration on Saturday and *hopefully* a few hours of much needed sunshine and vitamin D at the beach on Sunday! :-)

This is extremely difficult for me to admit in a public format. Last night I broke my own rule. For those who know me best.....Can you guess???

I finally watched "Real Housewives". BUT - when Shopaholic falls off the wagon, it's never in a small way. It's always big. Not only did I watch the premiere episode of the NY housewives, I watched the finale episode of the OC housewives.

DH would KILL me for telling it - but he also watched all of OC and part of NY. Whether he'll do it again or not, I have no idea. I suspect he liked it though. :-)

WOW. Obviously I have a lot to catch up on and learn about these train wrecks. Talk to me - what do I need to know about the NY women? Which ones are YOUR favs - or do you even watch? Can't wait to hear from you!

    I watch them both!! OC was good last night, my husband likes it too :-) He wouldn't admit it though. I recorded NYC, only got through the first 15 mins last night. They are all over the top and definitely scripted, no one coudl bicker that much. The only one I don't watch is Atlanta (where I'm from!) they are horrible!

    The NY series is soo entertaining and I heard will be very dramatic this season, although :::eye roll::: these shows are always dramatic! :) Bethenny is my fave on NY - I love her diet books and the "skinny girl margarita" she invented!

    I used to make my bf watch the NJ season with me and he would without fail fall asleep through the entire episode!

    You won't regret it. Every season is hilarious and more outrageous than the last. It is a bit addicting though!

    OMG, I watch all RHO's they are SO funny. I can't believe these ladies are really the way they are portrayed on TV. You will LOVE this new guilty pleasure, as will DH! Have a great weekend! XOXO

    I agree! I love the Real Housewives - OC is my favorite, but NY and NJ follow pretty closely.
    And the best, my hubbie who TOTALLY made fun of me for watching is now just as hooked. Last night he came in about 10 minutes late and made me "rewind" the DVR so he could catch up.
    It's a great way to observe ladies who love to shop, eat and create drama!

    So excited that you've finally been corrupted! ;) AND I can't wait for NJ and ATL to start, because those too are the most insane by far. I can't wait to help you catch up on the characters... and I do mean characters! OC is my fave, followed by NJ, then ATL then NY.

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

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
