Shopaholic in Alabama

  Are you ready for Memorial Day? This week has been so busy at work, I'm more than ready for a three-day weekend! I plan to enjoy every single moment, get a lot of sun and relax!  Today, I'll be sharing five of my favorite finds and thoughts. Enjoy!  #1: By now, you all know that I love the Uscoop website and frequently pick up Today's Chase. If you haven't heard this yet, my friends at Uscoop recently launched an online boutique that features some of our favorite preppy designers. The new website is Tuckernuck , and brand offerings include Gretchen Scott, Castaway Clothing, Strong Boalt, Harding-Lane, Loren Hope, and many others. You simply must check out their website HERE - and note they are offering 20% off through Monday, May 28 using discount code "Memorial20" at checkout.  #2: OK, I'll admit it...since I started working again, I now drink coffee every morning. I don't really know how it happened - I suppose after all these year...

It's a dreary day on the Alabama Gulf Coast. It's raining outside, and the sky is a weird shade of gray-black. We're under a tornado warning. This weather is making me seriously wish for the bright and sunny days of summer!  Endless Summer, anyone? I wish! Until then, I will have to settle for the beach towel I found on One Kings Lane this morning. I found it hiding in the "Artist Editions - Beach Towels" boutique. Gorgeous in the teal color pictured above, it's also available in orange and navy.  If you haven't joined One Kings Lane yet, now is a great time. They are offering a $15 credit for New members to spend! All you have to do is join and then the credit will be placed in your account. Typically the credit appears within a few hours of joining. Membership is always free and you can sign up  HERE .  And if you haven't heard the good news yet, Lilly Pulitzer will be a featured boutique on Rue La La tomorrow. The preview shows Resort...

Wow - what a deal on a Wednesday - this will help you get through "Hump Day"!  Today on Groupon, you can get a $60 voucher to use on One Kings Lane for only $30 ! It is the featured deal for Huntsville, Al - so just search by Alabama and then Huntsville. You don't have to be a resident of the featured area to purchase the Groupon since it will be used online!  HERE is the link to sign up for Groupon membership - and HERE is your free invite to One Kings Lane. Don't forget - you can earn 6% Cash Back through Ebates on all your Groupon purchases (as well as cash back at a ton of other websites, most of which you're already ordering from). Please sign up for Ebates HERE if you're not already a member.  I've already accumulated over $100 this quarter in my Ebates account.  Happy Shopping!  p.s. The "Cooper Diego" sale is featured in my photo above. I'll take one of everything in this event! :-) 

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 Thursday! Have I ever mentioned that I love Gwyneth Paltrow? From her early days (think with Brad Pitt!) in the movie "Seven" to her recent musical aspirations and guest stint on "Glee" - everything Gwyneth does turns into gold . Today, One Kings Lane will feature her new cookbook (which is really much more than a cookbook!) "My Father's Daughter". Additionally, boutiques named Gwyneth Paltrow: Dinner Party Picks and Gwyneth Paltrow: Kitchen & Pantry Favorites will debut. If you're not a member of One Kings Lane, HERE is your invite for immediate access to the site. I can't wait to order my copy of the book! Are you a Gwyneth fan? Will you be picking up a copy of the book??? Have a Fab Day!  

Happy Monday, Shopaholics! Hope you had a fantastic weekend and are enjoying your Monday! Deal Alert!  Tuesday is a huge Lilly Pulitzer shopping day on two of my favorite websites! I thought you all would want to know what is coming, so you can plan accordingly! Sales begin at 11AM EST. Me, I won't be leaving the house on Tuesday until I've seen what will be featured! :-) The Garnett Hill - Lilly Pulitzer collection will be on Rue La La . Isn't the Treasure Chest Collection to die for??? Based on the preview, it appears there will be lots of goodies! Are you a member of RLL? If not, click HERE for your invitation to Rue La La, as my guest. Also on Tuesday, Lilly Pulitzer will be appearing on One Kings Lane. When Lilly was on OKL back in February, the products were all part of the stationery line (which is produced by Lifeguard Press). I racked up and ordered all types of goodies then, and am ready for some more. :-) One Kings Lane is also "in...

TGIF, Fashionistas! Hope everyone is doing wonderful this Friday evening! We DID have snow today - I will be posting pics later. I'm currently away from home to celebrate Mardi Gras by riding in our parade on Sunday. Welcome to 2 days of adult beverages, Shopaholics. :-) I wanted to briefly remind you - Lilly Pulitzer will be a featured boutique on Rue La La on Monday, February 15. I'm sure most of my shopping pals are already members of Rue La La, but if you're not, HERE is your invitation. There are a few items which I know will be included, that I just might "need"...NOTE: I have no idea about prices, but last year when Lilly was featured on RLL, most dresses were priced at $79-99. And the boutique completely sold out within 2-3 hours.... LIVIE Dress Engineered Print NEWBURY TUNIC - Color by Numbers Mark your calendars! Boutiques open at 11AM ET, 10AM CT. Don't forget to use your invitation here . What are you hoping to see included? Do you ...

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you've had a great day! I managed to clean a little house, take a 4-mile walk/run, cook dinner AND watch "24"! Dare I say, I almost felt productive! Oh yes, I also ordered from Linda at Persnickety Palm. How could I forget that??? As you know, the BEST shoppers are always prepared! So I'm preparing you ahead of time for THIS FRIDAY.....are you a member of One Kings Lane?? They have awesome designer decor and home essentials, all in a "sample sale", invite only format. Think RUE LA LA or HAUTELOOK for your home! :-) One of the featured sales on Friday will be Lilly Pulitzer Cards & Gifts! I'm so excited, you can bet I'll be at the computer as soon as the sale starts to place my order. Want to shop the sale and need an invite to OKL? I'm happy to send you one - please comment with the email address to send the invite and it'll be on the way! Or if you'd like just send me an email ( lori.driver@hotmail.co...
