Happy Birthday Lilly! AND HUGE LILLY NEWS!

Today is Lilly's birthday! Happy 78th!

ALSO BIG NEWS: Lilly Pulitzer is going to have their first online sale in TWO DAYS. I believe its a gigantic Jubilee sale that starts staggered from 7am-11am. If you're a facebook fan (which you should be A-SAP) you get to see everything they'll have at 7am. I will be up BRIGHT and early before my 8am class that day!

It is 4 Days Only, but I know it will last WAY shorter than that! All of us who are facebook fans will be getting the cream of the crop right at 7am! There are like 3 Jubilee items that I have SEVERE buyer's remorse that I didn't buy, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they might just be there for me! Maybe I'll snag something early and make it "an early Christmas present" for myself (how does that sound, mom?)! Make sure that you join on facebook to get to see everything that is available especially if you're sizes 4-8, which seems to sell out the fastest at my store!

So on the Lilly facbeook page, some woman posted a photo of her Blackberry Pearl Lilly-fied. It was wonderful and had many many comments! I am SO excited to say that I took the initiative of making her project my own and transformed:

As well as turning this:

All this is thanks to uniqueskins.com. They have no idea how popular they are about to get thanks to the lady who Fall 2009 Lilly-fied her Blackberry! She should work for them!!

Summer Lilly!

Today with the last of my "spending" graduation money (that I am now not allowed to touch!) I treated myself to 2 Lilly Summer dresses that I can take to sunny South Carolina. One is the patchy Jubilee dress with the cool back, and I'm totally excited! I can't wait to wear this one out and about!

The other dress I got was the throwback-ish shift in a totally Lilly pink and green print that I love. It is more casual than the Jubilee dress, and there are even white bows along the front!
It it super cute and long enough for my tallness too! I am so excited about both of these purchases and I'm sure it helped for business for the Store on a rainy, gloomy day! And to make the purchase even sweeter, I had a $10 store credit!!! I am so pumped and I can't wait to rock these at work and around!

Happy Summer Lilly Shopping!

Stars for Lilly: A Colorful Cause

Recently, as I'm sure you've all seen in recent LP emails, ads, and other forms of communication, I'm sure you've noticed the Lilly Summer 2009 Jubilee lines made by the stars! I think this is such a fun idea for branching out! Two of my favorites were the Brooke Shields for Lilly and Elizabeth Filarski Hasselbeck (I'll always remember her as Filarksi from Survivor and The Look for Less). The Brook Shields design is too cute:Not to mention, the picture is too cute!! A very cute mommy-and-me combination for the summer. Actually, I do believe that all the lines are some sort of matching combo for older girls and younger girls, there's even a Gwyneth Paltrow swimwear set for a son too! That's the main advertisement for the actress' lines for Lilly.

Another one of my favorites was the Elizabeth Hasselbeck. She is a very preppy celebrity, seen here with the fabulous in pink Sarah Palin: What a cute preppy duo! Love both of them in their pink and green! Elizabeth's line is another darling addition to the Lilly Summer 2009 Jubilee line! I will always be partial to a pink LP anything, though! This trio is the same group/"family" that models the Gwyneth Paltrow line on the same jetty.

As People Magazine reports, Lilly is sponsoring "A Colorful Cause: Celebrity Designer Program, which honors the label’s 50th anniversary by supporting The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation". Kudos to LP for this wonderful cause and teaming up with some fab celebrities to make these designs!
