Salt Water Saturday: Birthday Celebration, Part One

Happy Saturday, Shopaholics! Today we will continue my birthday celebration with a day of relaxation at the beach. Wishing for nothing but sun and good times! :-) 


Thought I would share a few images from our dinner and fun last night. My parents, sister and BFF Priscilla all made it down to the beach. We started with a bottle of wine at home and then a fantastic dinner at a local restaurant, Louisiana Lagniappe in Orange Beach, Alabama. 


Take a look at mine and Priscilla's plates.......hers was Grouper Pecan and mine was Bayou Grouper. (Bayou was topped with lump crabmeat, shrimp and meuniere sauce). Amazing dinner!

We had a great time fooling around with the camera at the table...needless to say, our server was a very patient fellow. Me and Priscilla at dinner...I am wearing the Lilly Pulitzer Worth Shift in Not So Crabby.
With my sister Amy...don't y'all love her starfish necklace?
All three of us....
So happy my parents were able to join us...


After dinner, we fooled around on the boat dock some and just acted silly. Is anyone here over 25? Nah...I don't think so! :-) 




I felt bad the DH wasn't able to join us, and I might not be able to see him until next weekend. Today I will try to drown my sorrows with good company and a healthy dose of sunshine! 


Have a Super Saturday!

    Birthdays are best when served up with good fun, food, friends and family. A great LP dress always helps too... That cake was gorgeous...

    Thank you all so much for the kind words!
    To answer Colleen's question: that is a twice baked, creole stuffed potato. That orange stuff is probably 3 layers of cheddar cheese on the top. Delish! Hope everyone has a great week! :-) XOXO

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

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.

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
