Halloween @ the manor

Well, our house isn't really a manor, but it was fun to say for the day! We had a lovely little get together on Saturday night with a few close friends and it was such fun. I obviously went overboard on the refreshments but it just means lots of leftovers for the hubs and I!

Decorations about the house.

The Candy bar was a hit! And so yummy.


Bobbing for apples!
How was your Halloween? Attend any get-togethers? Host an event yourself?

Homecoming!

This past Saturday was my school's homecoming; what fun it was! And it was a beautiful day; couldn't have asked for a better one actually. The sun was out, it wasn't windy or cold. Our football team won but our soccer and water polo teams put up a good fight but couldn't bring in a win.
That evening, I chaperoned the dance. I figured since the boy's dates were dressing up and getting new dresses, I should too!

Sophia Dress Printed

Coach Kourtney Heel

The heels are pewter and so much cuter in person! I think they will perfect for an up-coming fall party we are going to in 2 weeks. See, I am planning on wearing these more than once. :)

Hope you all had a fab weekend!

PS: A Preppy Princess is hosting a Christmas Card Swap; I hope it will be a lot of fun so sign up if you have time!

New Lilly in stores now!

Stopped by King of Prussia mall last night with my hubs for some dinner at Maggiano's and couldn't resist stopping in Lilly to see if I missed any goodies from the last shipment; well the new stuff was already out! And it is gorgeous!!! So many colors and prints and beautiful things!

I couldn't resist picking up one goodie; the Newport Dress Pointe (not even on the LP website yet!!!)
Its a lovely thick fabric; perfect for fall, and flattering on every body type!!! My wishlist is growing by the moment again!!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

New Lilly Shipment!!

Its almost here! The September 25 Lilly shipment!

Goodies such as the Shauna Tunic Dress Engineered in Black Novelty Big Bang
And the Sari Dress Printed in It's Getting Hot In Here
Or the Babs Cable Wrap Stripe in either Blue or Coral
And who could forget the Gisele Dress Silk Twill in Brewster Blue

So many great options...which to choose! And I still haven't even made it through my wish list from the last shipment! Luckily, Under The Palm Tree has been having great deals via their facebook page to help us Lilly lovers get our fix!!! Friend them on facebook or get on their email list; believe me, once you go VIA, you rarely go back to standard Lilly stores!

Hope you are ready for another Fall shipment from Lilly P.; because ready or not, its on its way!!!

Fall fun!

Well, this past weekend went by faster than any day at work ever could!!! I worked my last shifts at kate spade and then went to a good-bye get together with work friends which went way to late for this early riser! And in keeping with my fall fun title, I need some ideas of fun fall activities to do now that my weekends are available again!

We already enjoy apple picking, hay rides and carving pumpkins but what do you enjoy doing in this wonderful fall weather???


Hope you all had a great weekend filled with family and friends.

P.S. And hopefully I will be able to blog more regularly!!!

Back to school shopping!

In preparation for the school year, last Monday, I went back to school shopping. And as much as I would love to be able to buy all the Lilly I want, I have to incorporate some other pieces! I was so impressed with many of the stores I went to; and underwhelmed by other old favorites!

Shops like Banana Republic, Talbots, Gap, Brooks Brothers, even Old Navy all had amazing styles and adorable pieces to enhance any fall wardrobe! From new and different cardigans to chunky sweaters to different tunic styles, these shops impressed me!

Other old favorites like JCrew, Black Market/White House, Ralph Lauren and Lacoste were disappointing! I felt like they were trying soo hard to be trendy and fell away from the classic pieces we all love and expect from the brand!

In other news, I just re-read The Preppy Handbook in anticipation of True Prep coming out on September 7; so excited!!! I loved TPH and hope True Prep will live up to my expectations!
Where did you go for new fall pieces??? What brands are you loving right now???

Fall Lilly Deal!

Under the Palm Tree is having another great fall special until August 31; 30% off any one fall item and I am sooo torn about which dress to get.

Colby Dress Engineered

Shauna Tunic Dress Engineered

I equally love both but the tunic seems more practical for fall and moving into winter; since I do live in PA not FL like Lilly did (I only wish!!!).

What do you think??? And what great deals are you getting on your new fall Lilly???

xxAmy

OMG FALL LILLY!!!

Two words...I DIE!!!
