Wish List Wednesday

I'm devoting this week's Wish List Wednesday to items that I hope to get during Lilly Pulitzer's online Endless Summer Sale next month! Lilly has not announced the exact dates for this annual sale, but it's usually around the third week of August. I am going to try really hard not to make any more Lilly purchases until then! Here are some goodies I am hoping to score:

Cassie Dress in Tango Orange

I currently just have one Cassie Dress, and would love to add another color to my collection. There's no such thing as too many Cassies- they are so comfortable and so versatile! This orange is so pretty! 

Kaleb Dress in True Navy Step by Step Stripe

I already have one striped Kaleb Dress I love (see yesterday's Featured Outfit post) and would like to get this Navy one as well. This color would transition into Fall really nicely.

Kaley Dress in Pansy Purple Boat Party Stripe

Another comfy and adorable Lilly knit dress I would like to add to my closet! You can usually get great deals on these during the online sales!

Spence Skort in Resort White Sunkissed with a Glow

I really want something in this glow-in-the-dark print and you can't go wrong with a Lilly skort!

Corrie Skirt in Glenda Green Beach Bash

I love this print!

Buttercup Short in Glenda Green Pretty Gingham

Gingham is super classic, and the scalloped hem is so fun!

Buttercup Short in Resort White Nibbles

This neon carrot print is too cute!

Kirkland Dress in Tide Blue

This would be the perfect UNC Game Day dress! I haven't tried this style on yet, so if you have tried it on or bought it, I'd love feedback about the sizing and fit!

Chin Chin Cooler and Cloth Napkins

One of my favorite things about Lilly's online sale is that they often have items for sale that were previously only offered as a gift with purchase. There have been multiple occasions when I've really wanted a GWP, but couldn't justify the minimum spend required for it, such as this past spring when a cooler and cloth napkins were offered in Multi Chin Chin, one of my all-time favorite Lilly prints. I'm really hoping these will be available for direct purchase during the Endless Summer Sale!

What do y'all have your eyes on that you hope to buy during Lilly's Endless Sumer Sale? I'd love to know!

Featured Outfit: Lilly Knit Dress

This past weekend I was back at the beach with another good friend, and I wore my Lilly Pulitzer Kaleb Dress out to dinner one night. This dress is so incredibly comfortable but also looks extremely pulled together. I love the block of coral at the top of this dress. It adds a fun contrast to the stripes! Lilly knits are the perfect casual dresses for a night out at the beach! My friend wore a belted Lilly Pulitzer Cassie Dress in Schooner Blue. She absolutely adores the Cassie and is always looking to add new colors to her collection!

My outfit details (right)- Dress: Lilly Pulitzer Kaleb; Necklace: Lilly Pulitzer Shell Yeah; Shoes: Jack Rogers Bronze Navajos; Earrings: Kate Spade; Cocktail Ring: Kate Spade.

You can't see them in this picture, but I also wore my Kate Spade "Tickle The Ivories"(cream) and "Sweeten The Deal" (mint) Idiom bangles.

Featured Outfit: Fiesta Pink Gingham

Hey y'all! Internet is back up and running at my place! Hope y'all have had a great Monday. The news of the much awaited royal birth definitely helped ease the Monday blues. Congrats to Will and Kate on your precious baby boy. I can't wait to see pictures of the little prince! Any guesses as to his name? My top three guesses (in no particular order) are Henry, George, and James.

Although Duchess Kate gave birth to a boy, today's Featured Outfit post is all about pink! This is one of my favorite outfits I wore out when I was at the beach the week of July 4th. I was excited to debut my Mimosa Skirt in Fiesta Pink Pretty Gingham from the Lilly Pulitzer Spring 2013 line. I adore the neon color and scalloped hem. This skirt will be a staple in my warm weather wardrobe for a long time!

This was a fun outfit to play mini golf in. I was just a tad excited to get a hole-in-one.

MIA

Hey y'all! My apologies for being so slack with blogging this week as well. The Internet at my place has been super slow and frustrating all week. The Blogger app for iPhone is definitely not user-friendly unless you're doing simple text only. I will be at the beach this weekend, but will hopefully be back in the swing of things next week with some Featured Outfit posts and more! Hope y'all have a lovely weekend!

Friday Five

Friday Five is back this week! Hope it's been a good one for y'all!

1. Norts on Sale!

Confession: Until very recently my wardrobe lacked Norts (Nike Shorts) and I was still wearing Soffees to run in. (Please don't judge me!) I have known for awhile that Soffees are out and Norts are the stylish workout/super casual shorts, but didn't get any because I would rather spend money on non-workout clothes. I finally bit the bullet and got some Norts, thanks to the Dick's Sporting Goods Buy One Get One 50% off sale that was happening right before I went to the beach! (I also got a great pair at Nordstrom Rack several days before I purchased these, but they only had one pair in my size of the style I like and I wanted a couple more so I could rotate pairs.) I'm so glad I did, and since they're so much cuter than Soffees I will wear them for running errands, etc in addition to working out! 

2. Royal Baby Watch!

Lilly Pulitzer posted this 5x5 print on their Facebook page today in anticipation of Princess Kate Middleton's mid-July due date! I am so excited the royal baby will soon be here! I'm hoping for a little princess but irregardless I'm looking forward to seeing tons of pictures! I wish she would go ahead and have the baby already!

3. Trader Joe's Mini Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are one of my favorite Trader Joe's snacks! They're perfect if you want just a little taste of chocolate chip cookie!

4. Breakfast of Champions at the Beach

One of my favorite beach traditions is going to Dunkin Donuts one morning and picking up some Munchkins and a Latte Lite before hitting the beach!

5. Old Navy Vintage Mickey and Minnie Tees

Old Navy is really hit or miss for me. My visit this week during their "Stuff and Save" promotion for Gap card holders was a success though! I snagged a few of these adorable limited edition vintage Mickey and Minnie tees that Old Navy recently got in. The kid in me loves all things Disney, especially classic Mickey and Minnie! And these shirts are so soft and perfect for sleeping or lounging in!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Featured Outfit: Aquarium Trip!

During my week at the beach my best friend and I went to the North Carolina Aquarium one day! I incorporated some sea creatures into my outfit by wearing seersucker shorts with embroidered lobsters, a seashell necklace, and a turtle ring!
