Celebrating "The Blues" With Lilly!

Happy Thursday my friends! It's well known around these parts that I have a serious case of the blues (thanks to BP and the oil spill). I've had a tough time the past few days, everyone keeps telling me try not to think about it. Seriously how should I go about that?!?! The beach is across the street, and at 3pm yesterday, the not-so-sweet smell of crude was in the air.

Moving on now...Since I officially have "The Blues", I thought it would be fun to focus on something else blue. How about my favorite blue pieces from the current Lilly Pulitzer collection? Yes, seems like a fantastic idea!  :-)

A few of my current "must-haves" - and the list is growing! I don't know about you - but these are the kind of blues I need!

Franco Dress Knit Maxi, Shorely Blue Silver Dollars


Eliot Shirtdress Printed, Aquamarine Fresh Catch Toile


Petra Dress Knit, True Blue Do The Wave




Cinch 1 Piece, Turquoise Fresh Catch Toile (dreaming that I'll still be able to go to the beach!)


I've always been a huge fan of the pink and green Lilly prints, but lately the blues (and greens) have really captured my attention. What do you think of my selections? Are you tempted by any of them?

Hope you have a great Thursday! We're going to try to squeeze in a beach day - weather and oil permitting. *Fingers crossed*

    I love blue, green, and white for summer, they look so crisp and clean. I love them all, but I especially love the shirtdress, Petra dress and the swimsuit!!!!!

    Yes, these are the kind of "blues" you need! I love the Eliot shirt dress. Tried one on yesterday for the first time, and loved it! Hope you get some beach time today, girl! Sun on the beach will definitely lift your spirits, just don't forget your nose plug. Haha.

    It has me so blue too. I can't even think about the fact that hurricane season started on Monday. Can you imagine - no, don't.

    I will say that swimsuit cheered me up@

    I love all of your choices. I have been dying for the Lilly P. Carrie dip dye dress, but this one may just replace it on my lust list...........

    I tried the Petra on last week and fell in love, such a fabulous dress!!!

    Keeping you in my thoughts, and keeping my fingers crossed that the smell of oil is out of the air soon.

    That Petra is absolutely gorgeous!!! I am much more into the blues and greens than pinks and greens, but also dig navy and pink.

    Hi honey, heard you and Bumpkin have been speaking, breaks my heart that the oil is reaching the Gulf Shores area. Your Lillys in blue are such a pleasant pick me up, I recently bought two, it is a nice change from all the pink (shh! don't tell!) Just wanted to say hi, I crawled out of bed to check in on you. Let me know when we can chat, I am dying to hear your take on things and let you vent to Matt and I if you need to xox

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...
