Easter Pups

Easter was an ‘egg’xtra special one last year. Every bunny had a great time with our precious puppies. I helped host Life’s a Beach’s 8th annual ASPCA Adoption Event. A portion of the proceeds went to our local shelter, and we invited some of their sweet faces to be adopted.

The first couple came by and scooped up our first pup. The coolest part was that they adopted one of our dogs last year, and then came back for another! They fell in love with their new furry friend and couldn’t wait to take him home. We also had a bundle of puppies up next at our event, but there was actually a line out the door waiting for them before they headed our way!

I have to say, one of our cutest characters had to be Hank. He was a sweetheart, who was still in search for his forever home. We later hosted a party in his honor to meet his future family.

After working with these adorable dogs, I couldn’t wait to head home and play with my own. Meet Coco and Gigi, my own little cuddle pups we adopted from Carolina Poodle Rescue years ago.

As you can see, I was more than ready to spend Easter with my furry fam! You know I can’t resist a great matching moment, and the babies looked best in their new bandanas. Love my ladies in Lilly!

Bay Breeze and Palm Trees

Being the last week with my boyfriend, we were off for a couples retreat across the bay.

We headed over the bridge for a mini escape from Savannah. It was so nice seeing the city from the other side.

To kick off the night we popped champagne on the balcony of our top corner suite, overlooking the bay.

We hit the hotel restaurant, Aqua Star, and snagged the Par 5 Burger from the bar.

The next day we were off to the pool in paradise. It was certainly a sweet retreat sippin’ champs beneath the palm trees.

As the sun set, we settled into the jacuzzi nestled beneath the umbrellas. It was a great place to cheers to our last weekend together.

But all in all I have to say, the best goodbye was breakfast in bed.

Wearing Lilly When It’s Chilly

 

Being Lilly ladies, we are always in a sunny state of mind, but let’s be honest… not all of us live in Florida. Just because the sun goes away doesn’t mean the fashion fun has to. Follow along to find out how to wear Lilly when its chilly!

If the cool weather is bringing you down, warm up with a pop of color, and don’t hesitate to stand out. Winterize your wardrobe by mixing pieces from different seasons. Rain or shine, you can wear your Lilly all the time!

Fight off the blizzard blues with a hint of print, and most importantly don’t be afraid to accessorize. Don’t just layer your clothes, but your jewelry too. Golden baubles and bangles can add class and sass to any ensemble.

After Party Aftermath

Lilly Pulitzer just hosted one of their hottest sales parties of the year. It was so exclusive you had to wait in a ‘virtual line’ to enter. This gave a whole new meaning to the term VIP.

Amongst all the craziness, i was able to score these two darling dresses! I had my eye on many more, but I was happy to come out with a few fab pieces. First is the Siena Dress featured in Summer Haze, perfect for a night out on the islands. Next is the Reecy Dress in I’m No Angel. You could say it was a match made in heaven, as Angel is my last name!

An added bonus was receiving a holiday bonus from my bosses. With this, I was able to snag some of the sassy accessories I have been eyeing. Featured above are two Tiki Palm wristlets, a Lilly scarf and two Boca bangles featured in some of my favorite prints, from oldies (First Impressions, Let’s Cha Cha, and Dripping in Jewels) to new goodies (Tropical Storm).

If you are a Lilly lover like me, you know that ‘too much is never enough.’ To get prepared for the next sale party, check out a few of my tips:

  1. The night before, make sure you have an account and that it is updated so you don’t lose precious time at checkout.
  2. The sale opens at 8 am and you will be placed in a virtual line so make sure you open the site a few minutes before hand.
  3. Do not refresh the page or you will lose your coveted spot.
  4. Just because something is in your cart, doesn’t mean it is reserved. So don’t be afraid to check out early and often to get what you really want, because they do have free shipping after all.
  5. To better your chances, use multiple devices.
  6. If you missed out on your must haves, reach out to your local Lilly Pulitzer and signature stores. They will be matching After Party prices.

I hope this helps all you Lilly ladies out there. Good luck and happy shopping!
