Shopaholic in Alabama

Happy Hump Day, Shopaholics! Today I thought it would be fun to bring back Wish List Wednesday. I haven't featured a wish list - at least on Wednesday - in a very long time!  So without further ado, a few things that are on this shopaholic's radar. Tory Burch, Dean Metallic Hobo, $395. This would be a great piece for me, as I generally prefer to carry a neutral, solid color leather handbag. I've been carrying my gold Lilly Pulitzer Mar-A-Lago tote for several months and it might need to be retired soon...the Dean appears to be a suitable replacement. Calypso St. Barth for Target, Shireen dress, Alexa tunic and Smock Neck dress , various prices up to $79.99.  Yes, you're reading this right. Calypso St. Barth will be available at Target on May 1, 2011. For those of us who live in a vacation state of mind, this collection is perfect. I predict a quick sellout on all the pieces and will certainly "need", at a minimum , the Shireen and Alexa. I cannot wait t...

Dear Shopaholic Favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via Shoppes, Yes - I'm talking about you. Under The Palm Tree, Village Palm, C. Orrico, In The Pink, and The Pink Palm. You all "got me" yesterday. The 3-day sale event that most online stores are offering is obviously a huge success. Several of the stores even had website problems due to the traffic. (Reminded me of the Summer Sale Lillypulitzer.com hosted last year). Below are several of the goodies I ordered. Even though I'm slightly concerned about the accuracy of online inventory in a few places, I have fingers and toes crossed! Rylan Top, Tickle My Tassle (minus the wrap, of course) Sadie Dress, Shorely Blue Serenity (this is technically a Fall collection dress, but I can get away with it almost all year here in coastal Alabama) Lotus Top, Pink (after all, one must be stylish while exercising) Roslyn Skirt, Skye Blue Exbloomsion Worth Shift, Floaters Jett Half Zip, Turquoise (every now and then I b...

Happy Sunday, Shopaholics! Hope your weekend is wonderful! Do you celebrate "Lunch At Lilly"? This is an annual event (generally the 2nd Saturday of March) where the corporate Lilly stores, as well as some Via shops, offer a fantastic gift with purchase. The minimum purchase level is usually $500 but the gifts - they are awesome! Most of the GWP's are produced just for the Lunch At Lilly promotion and are not available for general purchase. Even more exciting than the GWP's, by making a purchase you are entered into a contest to win a trip to Lilly's corporate headquarters. Also known as "The Pink Palace" - winners will spend a day at Lilly's headquarters and have the opportunity to design their own print! Wow - wouldn't that be fun?!?! Talk about the experience of a lifetime! :-) So what if I don't live near a Lilly Pulitzer store? You all know I love to shop online and via the phone, so of course I participated in this year's promot...

TGIF, Shopaholics! What do you have planned for the weekend? I have *fingers crossed* for a relaxing beach day with the DH on Saturday!  By now, I'm sure many of you have heard about Bamboopink on other blogs, from your Facebook friends, etc. I was approached about this opportunity last month and just didn't have time to properly research it and make a decision about signing up. Let me tell you all - I'm not generally one to "buy in" to the next "big thing". You know how we all have those friends who seem like they have a new "scheme" every time you turn around, all to make $$$ and promise it's easy? If I hear "easy" combined with $$$, it usually makes me nervous.  After speaking at length earlier this week with a highly ranked member of the Bamboopink team, I have decided to jump on the wagon and take advantage of this opportunity! And you can help me by doing the same! Right now you can sign up to be a consultant for F...
