Summer’s heating up, and what better way to way to stay cool than with your best babes in the pool? It was a sweet way to spend our day, celebrating Kristen’s birthday.

To top it off we had a fab float squad, from flamingos to doughnuts. And what’s sweeter than doughnuts and sprinkles? Some sugary shots!

We kicked off the pool party with a cheers to another year… older, shhh! Let’s just say, that when its your boss’ birthdays its time to play. This was certainly the best way to spend an off day! How will you make a splash this summer?

St. Patrick’s Day: From Palm Leaves to Pineapples

theprepinpink / March 29, 2016 / Comments

This Spring has been heavily inspired by pineapples and palm leaves, so i wanted to incorporate these trends into my St. Patrick’s Day ensembles. After all, green is the new pink!

Palm fronds were popularized by the classic Hollywood Regency home style, and have now been reincarnated into todays fashions. These iconic leaves wallpapered the halls of the Beverly Hills Hotel and are now wrapping the latest garments this season.

For southern women, St. Patrick’s Day is all about strutting your stuff down the streets, and my girls definitely did not disappoint. The Lilly ladies and I painted the town pink and pineapple with the new Flamenco print.

Brooke and I were caught twinning in the latest Lilly Pulitzer looks. What can I say, great minds think alike! Pineapples have always been my favorite spring inspiration, and this quote surely sums it up: “Be a pineapple: stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside.”

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.

Don’t you wish you were on vacay year around? Well with this hot new collection you will feel like you are. Spring is the latest line to hit the Lilly stores, and it sure didn’t disappoint!

The first shipment of the season included new additions to their ever- popular lulxletic line. Here is a peek of my favorite piece and purchase, along with the rest of the rack.

Athleisure: a trend in fashion in which clothing designed for athletic workouts in a gymnasium, sometimes termed activewear, is worn outside of the gym to go to the office or shopping or other social occasions.

Below I have paired a few outfits together from the latest collection for you to scroll through and shop.
Have fun and happy shopping!

After Party Aftermath

theprepinpink / January 18, 2016 / Comments

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:

The night before, make sure you have an account and that it is updated so you don’t lose precious time at checkout.
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.
Do not refresh the page or you will lose your coveted spot.
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.
To better your chances, use multiple devices.
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!
