With 100+ new styles added, my sister and I were happy to shop the sale this morning.  In addition to my picks from yesterday, I purchased the top below.

Happy second day of shopping everyone!

 

Lilly Sale

Ah, the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale. An annual event marked by my father questioning my financial decisions, and a contribution to my love of all things printed and girly.  Without moderation, I understand Lilly can be garish, overwhelming and sometimes tacky (yikes).  I understand the pieces are expensive and sometimes too girlish.  To be quite honest, I do not really buy into whatever negative reputation Lilly has in the mainstream fashion world.  All I care about is the fit of the clothes, and the patterns on the dresses.  The fit of the Callahan shorts cannot be beat (see below); the classic ease of the shift dresses carried me through high school and now college.  While there is definitely a time and a place for Lilly, I continue to shop the sale every year.  

My sister, Emma,  and I wake up early for the sale so we can shop together.  It's definitely more fun to share the sale experience with someone else, especially when you score something extra special.  We always focus on things we get the most use out of during the warmer weather, so we normally aim for Callahan shorts or easy dresses.  This year, Emma had to work during the sale.  I'm glad we could text while we shopped separately.  

My shift was perfect for my sorority formal

My personal picks from the sale:

Linen Beach Pant

I've had my eye on these all summer and decided they would be my priority during the sale.  I love the green and pink print, and how comfy they look!

Coral Tank Top

I loved this top because it was the perfect amount of flowy without looking matronly.  I also loved it because it was under $30. Score.


Sabrina Sleeveless Shift



I was not planning on purchasing a dress from the sale this year, but I could not say no to a simple blue and white pattern.  Or the classic silhouette.  Or the price (under $70).

January Skort

I love this skort because it's different from anything else in my closet.  The warmer tones will perfectly fit into my closet's transition from summer to fall.

Loving Lately

Happy Saturday everyone! With two weeks of summer left before the start of school, I'm trying to enjoy my family time as much as possible. I'm also trying to soak up as much New England beauty as I can before I head to Virginia (see beautiful Rhode Island loving below).  While I love Virginia, nothing will trump my love for the North. 

With the start of school approaching, I've been focusing on easy dresses, shoes and scarves.  Because a dress, scarf combination makes for a no-stress morning, I like to stock up before I move back to school.  Shop my favorites from the week below. 

1. Summer Scarves

2. Supergas

3. Espadrilles

4. Slip Dresses

5. Shirt Dresses

Persifor Sale

Living in New England, it seems there is always a reason to wear a cheery print.  A fun print adds excitement to your day, whether you're lounging in the house, running errands, or heading to the coast.  I always get excited when I find a brand that promotes comfort and color, for non-obnoxious printed garments are difficult to come by.  The brand Persifor offers the best selection of simple prints that are effortlessly chic.  Persifor is currently running a site wide sale, 40% off your order with code PERSIFORSUMMER. Plus free shipping!! What more could a girl need?

I purchased this sarong from the sale and I could not be more happy with it.  The quality of the sarong is amazing and the print is adorable.  I'm seriously debating purchasing  these; they look so cute and comfy.  Shop the rest of my picks below!

Wedding Recap

As posted here, I went to a wedding last weekend. The ceremony perfectly embodied the spirit of a picturesque New England summer.  Alec, my date, and I had the most amazing time.

My dress kept me perfectly comfortable in the 90 degree heat, and I loved the simple peachy color.  Another fan favorite from the weekend? These sunglasses.  I love the different color tortoise shell of the frames, and the lenses have the cutest light pink tint to them.  Not only are the glasses a refreshing statement, they also provide the best UV protection out of any glasses I've ever owned.  10/10 recommend stomaching the high price tag for the glasses, they are worth every penny.

Roberta Roller Rabbit On Sale

While I am a huge fan of my preppy prints, sometimes the abundance of color in a traditionally preppy dress can overwhelm me.  Roberta Roller Rabbit offers women a softer alternative to preppy resort wear, and I am obsessed with her patterns.  I have had my eye on this scarf for the entire summer.  How could you not melt over the blue and white pattern? And 100% cotton voile?!  I received an email from Roberta Roller Rabbit today for 50% off sale and I had to add the scarf to my collection (also seriously debating getting  this).  In the spirit of spreading the joy of a fabulous sale, I've linked some of my favorite RRR sale pieces below. 

On Sale Here for Under $40

Love the Navy and White

Hooray for Spreading Blue and White Love

Swingy and Comfortable

The Pineapples!!

Espadrille Love

I have always thought my warm weather shoe options were somewhat limited.  If I was not sporting my (sometimes uncomfortable) Jack Rogers, I was in flip flops.  This summer, I searched for a more casual alternative to Jacks that would look more put together than flip flops.  Espadrilles are the answer to my problem! They are comfortable and cute, what more could you want?

Today I purchased these (sold out, similar); I am super excited to wear them for the rest of the summer and into the early fall.   I've scoured the internet to find more fun espadrilles, and linked them below.  There are more discounted styles here.  Enjoy your newly stylish and comfortable feet!
