The Dress You "Need" by Lilly Pulitzer


Happy Monday, Shopaholics!

Even though I'm technically not supposed to be shopping right now (trying to lose weight and all), I officially broke my resolve. 

Meet the new Lilly Pulitzer Worth Shift Dress in Dark N Stormy ($178 retail). If you only buy one new Lilly dress from the Summer collection, this needs to be it. Seriously. I tried really hard to resist the pull of this one, and was successful for about a week.

The fit is amazing! The material is vintage slub cotton - part of the "Originals" line - and has a slight bit of give. There are pockets on the sides and the lace details make it really special.

Rumor has it they are producing a men's tie in the same print. If that comes to pass, I'll purchase it too as I think that would make a wonderful ensemble for a beach picture. The DH and I like to take one and have it later in the season as an option for our annual holiday card!

Dark 'N Stormy is already a huge hit - several of the stores have sold through an entire size run and have more on order. Don't delay if you want this one!

Have a Marvelous Monday and a great week!

    It's such a great looking dress and I am so happy to hear your glowing review! Does it fit true to size, or did you size up? (I usually size up in the strapless dresses.) Hope you had a WONDERFUL weekend! We need to make plans to get together sweetie!! xoxo

    I love this print (and the drink) too! It's the background on my iPhone. I love the beach picture idea with matching tie.

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...
