Lilly Pulitzer New Year Cheer

January 5, 2015 by Emily Leave a Comment

It’s one of the few things that gets me up and rarin’ to go the first Monday of the new year: the Lilly Pulitzer After-Party Sale! The wait may be long right now, but it will die down as the day goes on. Here are some beauties still available, but act quickly!

Look at all that lovely navy! 🙂

If you are “in line” for the sale, DON’T refresh your page– you’ll lose that spot!

Missed out on your favorites? 6PM.com has tons of markdowns as well.

Nothing there? Oh might as well head to the Kate Spade sale then… (extra 25% off!)

Happy Birthday Lilly!

November 10, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

Palm Beach Preppies of the world rejoice– it’s Lilly Pulitzer’s birthday! She would have been 83 today & how lucky are we that her legacy lives on through her juice-splattered prints and sunny state of mind the brand shares every day?

Everyone’s all Lilly-Lilly-Lilly in the summertime, and rightfully so, but there’s nothing like rocking LP brights during the cold, gray wintertime. I tend to think it’s when her legacy is most evident…

Today ONLY, get presents with ALL Lilly purchases– no minimum! Cheers to that + to Miss Lilly 😉

SHELL Chic’d

September 24, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

The instant I spotted this little Lilly number, I knew it meant it was time to start saving my pennies. Because a literal scalloped SHELL trim? Do you need additional explanation?

I was lucky enough to catch it on sale at In the Pink at the end of August and finally pulled it out for a late-summer wedding this past weekend. Paired it with my favorite GiGi New York clutch because I am all about shades of hydrangea blue + lavender lately [in case you haven’t noticed from the new blog look!].

Jumbo Sea Scallop Delia Shift, Lilly Pulitzer (on sale now!) | Tassel Clutch, GiGi New York | Idiom Bangle, Kate Spade | Tortoise Sunglasses c/o Warby Parker | Gold Heels, Fioni [similar 1; 2]

Apologies in advance for the number of times you’ll most likely see me wearing this shift… #nevertakingitoff

If you’ve ever looked at, like, a single photo of me on this blog, then you know I’m not exactly gifted in the not-looking-like-a-vampire department [still pissed I missed the casting call for Twilight: Breaking Dawn].

No but really, I am seriously pale, and for the most part, I’ve learned to love and embrace my fair skin! But of course with summertime comes a bajillion hot and tan bods walking around, with me in the middle, looking like a walking case of Vitamin D-deficiency. Thank you, SPF 75 for doing your job. And not letting in any bronze whatsoever [#sad].

We’ve all heard the awful statistics surrounding skin cancer + tanning beds, so like sHELL am I going to lay in one of those to get my summer tan on. So when Sunless, Inc. reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in trying out a spray tan, I jumped on the opportunity– this would be my first!

Let me tell you, I downright enjoyed the thing! I visited Boston’s Tan Works in the Financial District to try out a VersaSpa booth. Like a total newb, I had no idea what I was doing, but their tanning expert walked me through the few basic steps. The whole process, from undressing and prepping to walking out the door, took MAYBE ten minutes, but that actual spray tan was only a couple. I could not believe how easy + painless it was. And by painless I mean not as embarrassing as I pictured.

You have three choices for darkness levels– I went with Level 1, because honestly, would anyone even recognize me tanner than this? Here’s your disclaimer though: when I walked out, I was a little disappointed, thinking I could have afforded to go darker. But what I didn’t realize:: the tan darkens over the next few hours. When I woke up the next morning, it was the exact shade I was looking for.

[ Henrietta Dress + Shell Critter Wedges (similar 1; 2; 3;), Lilly Pulitzer ]

I’m on Day 5 of my tan, and while it has faded, I still definitely have a sunkissed glow. There are booths all over the country; click here to find one near you.

Full disclosure: I was provided a complimentary VersaSpa tan for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Plum Island Lighthouse

June 25, 2014 by Emily 12 Comments

Or, should we just call this, so many of my favorite things in one post?

Delia Shift Dress, Lilly Pulitzer | Piper Sunglasses c/o Warby Parker | Bracelets c/o Hollis Hayes | Gleeful White Sandals c/o White Mountain

1 // Lighthouses [#shocker]
I would like to disclose that I very, very rarely buy full-price Lilly Pulitzer [read my post on how to find Lilly for less here!]. But when I caught a glimpse of the upcoming Watch Out print [inspired by Watch Hill, Rhode Island] back in early spring, I started saving my pennies to snag this lighthouse-printed shift asap.

I wore it this past weekend on our trip to Newburyport [more on that coming soon!] and Plum Island, home of Plum Island Light//Newburyport Harbor Lighthouse. First built in 1788 and with the current tower dating back to 1898, this one’s another old sport. We didn’t happen to visit on a date in which the lighthouse was open to the public, but it will be from 1-4pm on a few select Sundays this year! More info here.

2 // Hollis Hayes Jewelry
I recently connected with Kristin O’Toole, designer behind the beauteous Hollis Hayes Jewelry, and I am so smitten with her darling work! These unique handmade bracelets are made of charms paired with semiprecious stones. With the 4th of July coming up, I went with a spin on red-white-and-blue and stacked her Coral with a starfish, White Howlite with an anchor, and Blue Larimer with an anchor.

Kristin is graciously offering my readers 25% off their purchase from today until July 5th with code 4thofJuly. Go give her some local love [she’s based in Boston!!] and grab yourself some stackable bracelets for the 4th! Anchors and starfish may be my things, but I LOVE the key and tree of life charms as well.

3 // Comfortable Shoes
No shoot Sherlock, who doesn’t love these? But in all honestly, this pair from White Mountain is you’re-walking-on-clouds comfortable. Also Alex is the one who got me into the idea of white sandals and like, where have I been? Everyone is all neutral and gold for summertime, but how fresh are these white babies?

Anywho, you can take 30% off ALL styles of White Mountain brand shoes with code Shell30 from now until July 15! And didya see the booties from last week? #swoon

What are you all loving lately?

Weekend Wear

This weekend we FINALLY welcome the first official day of summer! Which, conveniently, coincides with National Wear Your Lilly Day 🙂

I’ll be up on the North Shore in Newburyport, strolling the sweet harbortown first–which just seems like the best excuse to sport a seaside-inspired shift–then maybe to Plum Island for an afternoon on the beach?

What are your plans for this glorious first weekend of summer?

Lilly Loves Estée Lauder

June 3, 2014 by Emily 3 Comments

Lilly lovers:: in case you haven’t already heard, big news!

From now until June 14, with any $35 Estée Lauder skincare or foundation purchase via Macy’s, you will receive a 7-piece Lilly Pulitzer summer gift bag!

I stopped by Cambridgeside Galleria‘s Estée Lauder counter last week to try out some new products and have a look at the GWP. I LOVED their new BB Cream— I have super splotchy skin, and this covered up the redness but still felt so light. Plus, any foundation with SPF 30 in it is winning by my standards.

I’ve seen Lilly x Estée collaborations for years, but I want to stress that this is the last one, and it ends June 14 [while supplies last], so go get on with your bad selves! Last chance 😉

[ The 7-piece gift set includes: ]
Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Candy
Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Melon
Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara in Black
Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask
Hair Comb
Choice of a moisturizer or BB cream
Exclusive Lilly Pulitzer Beach Tote

Spend $35 and get all that automatically, but, spend more, receive more! With any $80 Estée Lauder skincare or foundation purchase, you’ll also receive a free full-size Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask.

You know me and my love for Lilly– I’ll be toting this thing around all summer! Pick up yours at Macy’s.

Full disclosure: I was provided Estée Lauder makeup services and a complimentary GWP sample for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Lobstah Roll

May 30, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

The Lilly Pulitzer prints for Summer 2014 are seriously KILLING it. I mean, She She Shells [fun fact:: She Shells was a name in the running for the redesign of this blog]… Watch Out [features lighthouses AND an anchor zipper]… could we have encompassed shell chic’d in a single season any more?

One of my favorites, though, has to be the crazy fun Lobstah Roll. Inspired by their trips to Maine, the Lilly print designers have really caught my attention with this one!

What’s your favorite print out of the summer line ladies?

MDW y’all! We’ll be bouncing all over Massachuetts for the next couple days… crossing my fingers that this silly + chilly rain clears up and brings some of that delicious summer sun!

A little coral + navy take on red, white, & blue in honor of Memorial Day…

And while you’re outdoor grilling and sipping those adult beverages, just take a few moments to remember the real reason this holiday exists xo
