Spring Gift Swap, Just in Time for Good Friday!

Happy Good Friday, my fashionistas! Sorry I've been a tad MIA on the blog and twitter this week. I have been enjoying time with my family in from out of town, we've had such a wonderful time. Now everyone has gone back home (insert sad face).

Most of you will remember that Shopaholic In Alabama, along with BFF Bethany over at Maryland Pink and Green co-hosted a Spring Gift Swap. I was matched up with a friend named Kristin for the swap.

Kristin and I met at the Lilly Pulitzer warehouse sale in the summer of 2007 through a mutual friend. Over the past six or so months, we also have enjoyed getting to know each other better through another online message board. Earlier this week, I was thrilled to recieve my package from Kristin.



Soooo much fun! Let me tell you what all was included - margarita mixer, margarita salt, beautiful pink cocktail napkins, "crazy" colorful straws, blue & green butterfly water bottle for my workouts (have to sweat out the cocktails somehow), Lilly Pulitzer Squeeze perfume, and Bare Escentuals BUXOM Lip glosses. This was all wrapped and packaged in a thermal tote which is perfect for our summer beach and boat escapades!

Kristin was so creative - she had cute little name tags on each gift such as the pic below.

Are you now wondering what I sent to Kristin?


My package to Kristin included - Lilly Pulitzer fabric wine bag, Lilly Pulitzer magnetic memo board, girly note cards, tennis themed memo cube and pen (K loves to play tennis!) and a palm tree wine bottle charm (like me, she also loves to enjoy the occasional adult beverage!).

The spring gift swap was so much fun! I can't wait to hear all about what you sent and received from your partners out there. Don't forget, post it to your blog (if you have one, of course). If not, send your photos to either me or Bethany and we'll be happy to post them for you! Part of the fun is sharing! :-)

Happy Good Friday to you and your families. If you're traveling to visit family or friends, stay safe!

p.s. Exciting things coming next week! Be sure to stay "tuned in"!

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...
