Lilly Fall Preview

I didn't have to work today so my mother and I had a fun girl day. We went to lunch at Lucky 32, one of our favorite stand-bys, and then went out for a little shopping. I stopped by Palm Avenue and I'm SO thankful I did. They had every piece from the fall collection and Lilly lovers, let me tell you, you'll be floored! This is one of my favorite lines I've seen in a while. It's still the Lilly that we love with girlie elements thrown in. Lots of pretty dresses, bows, and beautiful jewel tones. There's even a black and white print that I didn't snap a shot of. Here are a few pictures I sent to my sister with my phone. The quality isn't that great but hopefully it'll satisfy your curiosity until it debuts.

I went ahead and pre-purchased the Jonah. The print is called "Heel Yeah" and if you look closely, it's not a geometric print but high heels! I've always loved the Jonah and it will be perfect with flats and tights for my internship.

Here are some other items I adore.

Are you ready for fall? I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to summer but at least we have pretty clothes to look forward to! Have a blessed day y'all!

Blog Sale!!

Hey friends! I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the first day of spring... I know I did!

In preparation for spring and transitioning my wardrobe, I found some Lilly in my closet that needs a new home. I thought I would list it here before I tried eBay.


The first dress is the Franco Colorblocked in a size 0. The dress is an adorable pink gingham with lace detail at the bodice, fully lined, side boning, hidden side zipper, rubber "gripper strip" inside to hold dress in place and adorable tie back. It is brand new, with tags. Original retail was $198, asking $90. Shell and lining are 100% cotton. Can be hand washed or dry cleaned. Update: Sold

The second dress for sale is the Gweneth dress in "Multi Loco Patch" in a size 2. I adore this dress but sadly it is too large for me. It is brand new without tags. Original retail is $228, I'm asking $60. It is fully lined with side boning and hidden side zipper, pinch pleat bodice, smocking in the back, rubber "gripper strip" inside to hold dress in place. Shell is 55% linen, 45% cotton, lining is 100% cotton. Machine wash. Sadly my iPhone pictures without a flash do not do it justice. You can get a better idea of the colors through the pictures on this eBay auction.

Update: Sold

Living a Colorful Life - At Home!

Have y'all gotten a sneak peek at the new Lilly home line? I die, it's stunning. It won't be available until summer but you can still get a good idea of the fabulous-ness of the line in these photos from the High Point, NC furniture market.

This is genius!

This is my favorite room!

The line really seems to capture Lilly's essence - classic with a twist. What do you think.... just right or too much?

Have a blessed day, y'all!
