Shopaholic in Alabama

TGIF, Shopaholics! Any big plans for the weekend? It feels wonderful to say, we are planning quality beach time and that is it! :-)  As my frequent readers and friends already know, I have been doing quite a bit of shopping lately for my favorite brand, Lilly Pulitzer. Beginning around March 10, the market was flooded with a lot of opportunities to get my "fix".  (both online and in-store). Throw in the "Lunch At Lilly" promotion, then the Via shoppes online sales and you have one very spent out Shopaholic. Now I don't know about you, but once I make a purchase (at any retailer, Ebay, even Shopaholic's Preppy Closet) and the seller has my $$$ or card number, I want the merchandise to arrive quickly. And honestly, if it doesn't arrive within 7-10 days after purchase, I start to get a little squirrely. Now if the seller/store has a legitimate issue and notifies me of said issue, I do have patience and can deal with the problem without getting ne...

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...

Hi Everyone! Well, I could not resist a GREAT Lilly sale at In The Pink online yesterday while stuck inside ALL DAY with DH - he was watching football and I was stuck in the kitchen off and on again, making that New Years Day meal. I figured I totally DESERVED a new pair of shoes - and a great bangle - so I ordered them both. The Coral Reef Wedges: I already have the necklace that matches these wedges - I've been coveting these 4EVAH - I figure if you can get them for more than 50% off, you're doing great! I also ordered the Ms. Bo - Bangle bracelet in Turquoise - I was totally awesome and ordered 2 - one for me, one for my sister so her DH didn't have to see the CC charge on their bank account. Another good thing about the NEW year - I actually walked my 4 miles today! Whoo hoo! I needed to do it BAD - I've been feeling so FAT in my clothes - I felt great when I returned. There aren't many things that make you feel great - but a 4 mile walk on the beac...

Hello Friends! Did I tell you all I was having oral surgery on Tuesday? If not, I'm telling you now in hopes that it will excuse some of my behavior today....LOL. I came through the surgery fine, and basically lost my entire Tuesday on Valium! Earlier today I felt pretty bad still, but tonight I'm starting to feel human again. Just in time for the New Year! YEAH! Today I went on a shopping frenzy from the comfort of my bed and my pink laptop! I got the following items on sale (30% off) at Persnickety Palm in Leesburg, VA. Murfee Scarf in Shorely Blue Grand Scale Access: Joy Knit Tunic in Classic White One of a Kind: The highly coveted Worth Shift Colorblocked in Classic White Not So Crabby: I also found those Lilly Christmas ornaments for 50% off at Splash of Pink. I "only" ordered two of them. Glass Christmas ornament in Grasshopper Green Free Falling (LOVE the seahorse!) and Lillys Pink Checking In: THIS gem was located on Ebay late tonight. I...
