Confessions of a Shopaholic in Alabama...

Happy Thursday my friends! Hope you're having a fantastic day and enjoying beautiful late Spring weather! We're lucky here - no oil - at least yet. The longer it takes to get here, the more hopeful I am for a reprieve. *Fingers and toes are crossed*

Welcome to Confessions of a Shopaholic - I felt the need to confess to someone - and it just didn't seem appropriate to tell DH. (insert wink and smile). Do you remember about the fantastic sale at one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via Shoppes, Under The Palm Tree? Purchase 4 or more items and receive 50% off? Do you remember how stressed I've been over the oil spill crisis? A little retail therapy was on yesterday's agenda........

These goodies are on their way to me and I'm thrilled!

Lilly Pulitzer Worth Shift in Stuffed Shells


Lilly Pulitzer Sandra Dress in Starfruit Yellow Dahlia

Lilly Pulitzer Hightide Tankini Top & Beachy Briefs (I'm so optimistic about the oil spill I purchased a new swimsuit - surely this is a good sign!)
If you can believe it, I actually wanted to purchase a few more pieces but decided to leave them for the next great sale. Too bad I'm not a Mother, I could tell DH "these are my Mother's Day gifts, and I saved you the trouble of going shopping!". Does that really work??? Hmmmm.....do let me know! :-)

Remember, Shopaholic Confessions are always welcome here - and they don't always need to be MY Confessions. It makes me feel less guilty to know I'm not the only one trying to create a healthy economy!

Have a lovely Thursday!

    You have to tell your husband the following... in case he gives you grief. "A happy wife is a happy life!" ;)

    I agree with Entertaining mom and I must say those pieces are to die for. I love me some clothes shopping but do you know what i shop for without even blinking an eye, without even thinking I will pick up any type of cooking gadget or tool, big or small, expensive or not and just not care. It really is a problem of mine. I figure though and tell the hubby that, "I bought it for us so I can cook for you"! LOL! Sometimes he buys it most times he doesn't! Love you girl! Come and visit, its been a while!

    Love your choices! You were right, they are amazingly quick on shipping items out. I ordered my items on Saturday, and got them yesterday! Very impressed. I seriously wanted to order more, but a girl has to draw the line somewhere. :)

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...

Tracy Negoshian: Two Holiday Giveaways & Shopaholic Discount

Image
***Just in time to celebrate the holiday season, Shopaholic In Alabama has partnered with favorite brands and designers to bring you a series of festive giveaways! In addition to giveaways, there will be Shopaholic Special discounts to help with your holiday shopping! 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...
