Monogram Mess



Recently, I attended a show for a friend who started selling Thirty-One. For those not familiar, they specialize in totes, carry-all bags, etc. Most of the items can be monogrammed and of course I want everything I purchase to be monogrammed! 


My Mother and BFF Priscilla also attended the party. Priscilla and I ordered the exact same bag - only in different prints. We ordered the exact same monogram style, font and thread color. 


The bags arrived over the weekend, and I was so disappointed in mine! Take a look at it above - you need a magnifying glass to find my monogram! Ugh. 


Now - here is Priscilla's bag - isn't it pretty?
Have no fear - I contacted the consultant and she has already ordered a replacement bag for me. Thank goodness! 


I am looking forward to receiving my bag, with a 3.5" monogram - of course! 


Have a great day!

    That's crazy! Their quality control isn't very good, is it? Glad you are getting a replacement.

    Great bag...poor monogram. Too bad the employee didn't care enough to fix it at the time. Love Thirty One bags, though.

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. 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
