Happy 1st Anniversary, Shopaholic In Alabama!

Happy Hump Day, everyone! I had a different post planned for today - then I remembered - December 15, 2009 was the date I started this little blog, Shopaholic In Alabama. So today; we celebrate!

It's hard to believe I have been blogging for one year. In the early days, I never imagined that anyone would even want to read what I wrote; much less allow me to continue blabbing for a year! I remember begging my family and close friends to "follow me" and they were like "what are you talking about?".  

All I can say is a big, huge, THANK YOU! I have met so many wonderful friends as a result of this blog and the blogging community. Many of which I expect to have for a lifetime. I look forward to my second year of blogging - let's see what kind of trouble we can get into together! :-)

Thank you so much for taking valuable time out of your day to check in on little ole me. During some of the darkest hours of the past 365 days, you guys have helped keep me going...through the BP Oil Spill, life changes, remodeling, celebrating my 40th birthday and many, many others. You'll never know what it means to me!

Have a fabulous day!

p.s. If you have been entertained, learned more about life on the Gulf Coast, gained a few favorite recipe, or found your favorite Lilly dress by reading Shopaholic In Alabama, I'd love to hear from you. Please don't be shy about commenting. Believe it or not, bloggers live for comments!

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...

Happy Wednesday my dear friends! I'm so EXCITED today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to "THE ART OF ELISE FRANCESCA". Elise recently found my blog and contacted me about her designs, as they are a PERFECT match for all things Spring and Preppy!  A little information about Elise's designs and business, directly from her Facebook page: Elise Francesca Fargnoli co-founded FRANCESCA JOY, with Carolyn Roy, an interior designer in Palm Beach. They came together with their love for design, couture, and color. FJ is a home decor/lifestyle collection based on Elise's designs and paintings. The collection includes tote bags, t-shirts, and chemises- all of which are hand painted and designed by Elise.

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...
