Wish List Wednesday!

Happy Hump Day, Shopaholics! Quick update, took Mother to her dr. appointment yesterday. They have scheduled another round of tests on Friday morning (very early, I might add) and hopefully we'll know more then. Thanks again for all your comments and kind wishes, they have been greatly appreciated!

Welcome to my newest edition of Wish List Wednesday! This will be my last Wish List post for a few weeks, as next Wednesday I have a special surprise coming to the blog! :-)

Chapman Dress, Hotty Pink Tisket Tasket, Lilly Pulitzer, $178

Raquel Dress, True Navy Anchors Away, Lilly Pulitzer, $258

More than anything, I really, really am DYING to renew my wedding vows in one of the new "Lilly Bride" dresses. Can I just get married again? Good for me, I have a while to attempt talking DH into a renewal ceremony, as this line won't debut until late 2010. Just think - beach wedding, Lilly Bride, no oil. My idea of heaven. :-)



What do you think of my favorites? Of course there are more (always!) but I try to keep the coveting to a manageable level. :-)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

    I have that exact Chapman dress and I love it. I'm going to be an enabler and say that you should get it! It's lightweight, but the sleeves make it work for multiple seasons. Wear it with McKims or Jack Rogers now and in the fall- a cute pair of flats and a scarf.

    The Chapman dress is on sale on Bloomingdales and Splash of Pink! I actually just picked it up in the hot pink floral pattern. =)

    Great choices. I love the Raquel, it's so summery and comfortable. I wear it with the sleeves loose rather than rolled up.

    I just left you an award on my blog....

    I love wedding dresses too! I spent a fortune on mine and I wore it on my 10th. I know most people wait until 25 yrs to renew but I could still fit into it. I'm thinking of pulling it out for my 15th this year too.

    When Target had $200 wedding dresses a couple years ago, I was really tempted.

    I love the Chapman dress. About wedding gowns - I agree. It's so tempting as the gowns are so much prettier now than when I was getting married!

    I just got that exact pink Chapman dress today, and LOVE it! It fits really well, much better than the Andover, in my opinion. And the cut-outs on the arms and collar are so pretty. It was on sale at Belk for only $105. Can't complain there. :)

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

***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...
