What's In The Box?

Happy Hump Day, Shopaholics!

Question: how much Lilly can fit into a size 6 shoe box for mailing purposes?

Answer: three pieces total - two dresses and one full length caftan!


Are you wondering "what in the world"!?!?!? For the past two weeks, I've been hearing about Lilly sightings at TJ Maxx and Marshalls all over the place - CA, MI, SC, TX, etc.  Mind you, there isn't one piece in any of our TJ Maxx or Marshalls (I've been to four total stores around these parts). So when I was without internet at Gilligan's Dauphin Island and had my lip stuck out because I couldn't get my hands on any of my coveted Lilly in Fresh Catch Toile or Tisket Tasket prints (both from last summer's collection), my dear friend and fellow Lilly lover Hadley rescued me! Literally!

Hadley had the scoop, and knew I "needed" those pieces. We texted back and forth several times and on a Saturday afternoon, my sweet friend went out in the snow (in St. Louis, while we were in bathing suits enjoying 80 degrees) to make this Shopaholic one happy camper! After finding and paying for my goodies, Hadley found an empty box at her apartment and shipped it off! All this before I could even get on the internet to send her some moolah $$$ via Paypal. Now is that a good friend, or what?!?

Thank you so much Hadley! You rock, and I really appreciate all of the effort this took! :-)

I have so many good friends and family members who look out for me - not just shopping, but in life. I feel very blessed to have you all, including my readers and fellow bloggers! I am extremely grateful to be part of such a wonderful community. 

Have a Wonderful Wednesday and do NOT forget - Lilly Pulitzer is on Rue La La today. The fun begins at 11AM ET, 10AM CT. If you're not already a member, HERE is your free invite! Happy Shopping!

    Lucky girl and enjoy your goodies!!!! I'm always jealous when I hear people find Lilly at TJ Maxx and Marshalls because I've never seen any Lilly at the stores by me.

    I can completely sympathize - my TJ Maxx has nothing good!

    I found 3 Lilly's at TJ Maxx (Michigan) last Sat., but all were too small.

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 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...
