Lilly Pulitzer Summer Favorites

Happy Thursday to you! DH is on vaca the next two days, and we plan to split our time between here and my parents home on Dauphin Island. 

As you probably remember from yesterday's post, I am more than a little concerned about the oil spill out in the Gulf of Mexico. It's stressing me out, so in true Shopaholic style, I spent a little time looking over the new Summer collection by Lilly Pulitzer. 

A few of my favorites, some will certainly move from favorite status to "must have" status soon! 

Worth Shift, Stuffed Shells, $178 
Daphne Dress, Classic White Jacquard, $248

Cedar Knit Dress, Hotty Pink Lace By The Docks, $218

Claudie Dress, Aquamarine Catch of the Day, $368

Ashley Maxi Dress, Stuffed Shells, $298


There are so many styles and prints in this collection that I absolutely love! Two items of note: 1) I'm loving the blue and white or blue and coral colored items more than ever this season, and 2) there are no tunics! I love Lilly's tunics!!! WHERE ARE THEY!?!?! Come on Lilly, I need my fix. I'm a Tuniaholic (second only to a Shopaholic). Help me out here. I wear a tunic with white or denim capris/jeans for every season! Bring them back!!! :-)

I can't believe it took me this long to sit down and study the new collection.....normally I'm on the computer the day it's released and search every website for my favorites. When the Summer collection was put up,  I was so busy hosting giveaways, time got away from me over here, haha. And boy did I need a distraction from obsessing about stuff I can't control.

What are your favorites, your "must haves" from this collection? Another topic - are you willing to pay full price for your Lilly, or do you always wait on a sale? Talk to me!

Have a great day and don't forget to enter the Caroline Grace Jewelry giveaway (Monday's post).

    I also am lamenting the lack of tunics in the summer collection! Looks like we share a lot of favorites. I posted my summer review a while ago on my blog. You know what they say, great minds think alike. xoxo

    I love the Sandra and Daphne dresses. Hoping to go try them on today, in just a little bit. Your choices are fab! Hope y'all have a wonderful time this weekend spent with family. I'm planning on doing the same. :)

    Ah! The Lilly site is down- I was excited to browse the new items. Though I LOVE finding things on sale, I've splurged on several full price dresses already this summer. Also- love finding Lilly at TJMaxx. My first and still favorite Lilly pants were found there and I was hooked.

    I agree with you about the oil spill.... it is so stressful, I'm glad I'm not one of the people who had to make the decision about whether to burn it or not... I do hope that the burning really does help keep the shores clean! Can ya'll see or smell the smoke?

    Love the lilly summer collection...

    I always have to have my Lilly dresses right away! I want to be the first one wearing it! :) I recently bought the Sandra dress in pink and the Sullivan dress in yellow and I thought the price points on both of those were great--they seemed more reasonable than other collections.

    My favorite, MUST HAVE piece from the whole collection is the Briddie dress in Hotty Pink Full Sun. It comes out any day now, and I am biting my nails in anticipation! xxoo

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...
