Who else was excited to see the Jumbo size agendas from Lilly Pulitzer by Lifeguard Press, new for 2012-2013? I was thrilled to see my favorite agenda offered in an 8.75" x 11.25" size. Call me silly, but I like my agendas, notebooks and books to "stack" properly and the smaller agendas just don't quite fit the bill.  Now - my only decision is which print to order! This Jumbo agenda only comes in two prints - pictured above is "Tiger Would". I love the pink and green color combination with the tigers, and personally believe you can never go wrong with pink and green!  The Jumbo size agenda is also available in the "Getaway Garden" print pictured above. Set on a navy background, this beautiful floral print would look fantastic year round. Both are priced at $33 retail, and include stickers for your calendar. (I always use any leftover stickers on packages that I ship out to friends, family, items sold online, etc. They make a plain pack...

We've already established the facts: I prefer to shop online. Cyber Monday is my kind of day - when online retailers offer some of the best prices and special deals of the year.

Please note: I might add to this list periodically throughout the day and evening, based on incoming emails and other deals I run across.  First on the list: Tracy Negoshian's Cyber Monday Sale. For those who missed the Black Friday sale, this is your chance to take advantage of the exact same prices and Free Shipping! All Fall items will be 50% off, and prior season merchandise up to 80% off. Sale hours: Noon - Midnight EST. Code: CyberMonday11 - be sure to enter this code at checkout. I am planning to stock up (yes, again...ha!). Access the Tracy Negoshian website HERE . J. Bee Designs is one of my favorite websites.

Welcome to Temptation Tuesday!  If you're like me, your inbox is flooded every day with sale notices from all the flash sale websites. Most of the time, I just take a quick look at the boutiques or designers featured and am able to walk away without ordering a single thing. However, there is the occasional day that I literally want.everything.I.see. It was that way yesterday on One Kings Lane. (If you're not already a member of OKL, you can sign up free HERE ).  Although the items and boutiques I'm featuring today were technically part of Monday's sales, they are still active until Thursday. So we still have time to order as long as they are available!  First Tempting Boutique - Artist Editions: Beach Towels & Totes (you already know I love the beach so this boutique hit close to home!) A few of my favorite items included:  S. Moss, Sunglasses, Berry, Reversible, $29 Tom Slaughter, Anchor, Red, $25 Tom Slaughter, Anchor, Aqua, Reversible, $29 ...

Happy Sunday! How are you spending the day? I haven't been feeling well the past two days, so I'm hanging inside today, even though it's gorgeous outside. i keep thinking about all the sun I am missing...but have no energy to walk across the street. Ugh. Most of you have probably heard by now that Lilly Pulitzer "Home" is on Rue La La today. (If you're not already a member of RLL, your free invite is HERE ). The sale started this morning, and of course lots of items are sold out. However, there are still great deals available.  A few of my favorites included today: Lilly Pulitzer Set of 2 Market Bags, $15.90 Lilly Pulitzer "Latte Da!"

Happy Saturday, my Shopaholic friends! What are you doing this weekend? Today I plan to get in some beach time, here's hoping the weather is nice enough! The DH is off work and we plan to make a day of it. :-)  Welcome to Day Fourteen of Shopaholic Birthday Giveaway Days! I'm hosting these in honor of my 40th birthday. It was on August 12...and we all know that Leos celebrate not just one day....but many days! I've been known to call it my "birthday week" or even "birthday month".  Hopefully you're enjoying the birthday celebration as much as I am! This has been a fun way to stop thinking about getting older, and profile some of my favorite designers, websites, stores and brands! Thanks so much to my wonderful friends at Lifeguard Press for sponsoring our 14th giveaway! I have a wonderful partnership with Lifeguard Press. Occasionally they will send items for me to review on the blog, which I hope is helpful to you the reader. Additionally, ...

TGIF! Happy Friday everyone! What are your plans for the 4th of July? We're having lots of company, and will be enjoying good eats, pool time (thanks BP for taking away my beach!) and a magnificent fireworks show Sunday night! Be sure to celebrate safely! A few weeks ago, Lifeguard Press sent me several items to review and wanted to offer a special deal to my readers. Hence a new partnership was born. This has been so much fun! The folks at Lifeguard Press produce licensed stationery and gifts for Lilly Pulitzer, Jonathan Adler, Susan Branch, etc. Of course you can purchase these items directly from the Lifeguard Press website , as well as other licensed retailers. Lifeguard Press is now offering FREE SHIPPING to all Shopaholic readers - be sure to enter the coupon code "SHOPBAMA" at checkout.

TGIF , my Shopaholic friends! Can you even believe it's Friday? I'm wondering exactly where the week went - seems like it flew by! Are you familiar with Lifeguard Press? I know my fellow Lilly lovers are, as they produce the Lilly Pulitzer stationery and gifts lines. Additionally, Lifeguard Press also produces lines for Jonathan Adler and Susan Branch. As many of you will remember from last week's post, they contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I would be interested in reviewing some of their products for my readers. I was so excited (and honored!) to create a partnership with this wonderful brand. Did you know the Lilly Pulitzer drink umbrellas from Lifeguard Press were featured on the TODAY show this week? You can see the link on the Lifeguard Press Facebook fan page HERE . It's awesome to see a favorite like Lifeguard Press/Lilly featured in the national media, whether it's TV or print. It proves one thing - someone else has good taste! :-)   Today ...

The first item I'm going to review is the Lilly Pulitzer Patchtastic Watch Set, which you can see on the Lifeguard Press website HERE . This watch set is so much fun! They are somewhat nostalgic as they remind me of my beloved Swatch watches from middle and high school. S...
