Spring needs to get here...NOW!

Just reviewing the rest of spring Lilly and thank goodness we got out of that horrid 60's phase; we are back to the Lilly we all know and love. A few last must-haves (on my list!)

Pink Eryn; they must have listened to me! ;)

Embroidered Eryn is too cute

Love the Bowen Trellis (one of my fav prints if you couldn't tell since I already have the Margot shift!)

Great new stuff; now I just have to keep saving my pennies for the warehouse sale; June will be here before I know it!

Another Cruiser!

Loving the Lilly beach cruiser again! I didn't get last years and I won't get this one either since I already have a great bike we use at the Valley Forge park all the time in the summer; but, If I needed a new bike, this would be it! Its the super cute stuffed shells print and this year its coming out in May; unlike last year when it didn't ship till August (by then summer is almost over!)Thoughts? Are you getting it?

Have a great weekend!!

TCFW!

Just popping in for a quick post about some new finds that are too cute for words!

These amazing canvas totes are my new must have! I am ordering one ASAP!

And this darling headband is to die for! (Apparently they were on glee and gossip girl...maybe that's how I missed them since I don't watch!)
And lastly, I need these Art Deco style monogrammed earrings or I will probably die (okay, not really but how amazing are these! I just wish I could find them in silver)

How did I miss these amazing pieces? I don't know but I'm not letting that hold me back from getting them now that I've found them!

What are a few new must haves you've stumbled upon?

Re-Evaluating Spring Lilly

So, the rest of the Lilly line came out and is available online to view; big pictures and zoom available. Yey. I preordered a few items from UTPT during their 9th anniversary party and already got the Jonah and wore it today to many compliments. Love the Jonah dress! And might I add, their giveaway bags were phenomenal! Murfee Scarfs, Lifeguard press items and gift certificates! I am already planning what I want to use mine on!

The other items I preordered from UTPT are...
Margot Shift Print Engineered

Blossom Dress Printed in Hotty Pink First Impression

And I tried on the new Shauna Dress Embroidered in Navy and fell in love last week so I couldn't resist that piece as well!

Other pieces I love (the later shipments are 10x better than the first; like I said before, a bit too 60's inspired for my taste!)
Blossom Dress Jacquard
Gloria Texture Jacquard Sweater

Paley Cardigan Ribbon
Cissy Skirt

Wynne Top

Eryn Dress Stripe (I just wish it came in pink too! Yellow isn't my best color)

All great pieces now on my wish list. My only issue...some of the prices are a bit much! Like the Fitch Shift Jacquard is $268; I think that's a bit much for a pretty plain looking shift dress!
And the Roe top; $158; now my husband is understanding but not for that price! And the Wynne top is darling; but I won't get it unless it goes on sale; $68 is too much for a cotton tank top with a few ruffles; in my opinion.

Also, some of the pieces looked a lot like last years; like the Franco Seersucker. That's one I got last summer and on sale! As well as the Katia Wrap; I already have three and would have liked other wrap/cardigan options.

One thing I have noticed; things are selling out in record time. I'm guessing its because they want to make Lilly more exclusive and are making less of each new style.

What are you thinking? Do you agree or do you love other pieces I didn't mention??

Happy Friday; almost!!

Where have I been???

I don't really know how I missed this, but Lilly launched a few items of jewelry with the spring collection. One of them being these...

Now, I know I worked for kate spade but these remind me a lot of bracelets kate did about two summers ago...also called ric rac bangle.


Can you tell the difference??? Neither can I.

What do you think? A mistake or is Lilly ripping off kate spade???

Lydia & Pugs

I don't know how I haven't heard of the most darling stationary this side of the Earth, but I recently discovered Lydia & Pugs!

I am ordering some of this great stationary ASAP!




How great are these cards! Just to name a few. And they have tons of breeds; yorkies included. :)
