Want another chance to win? Enter the new gift card giveaway!
Here we go, Friends. I’m hosting a $200 Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale e-gift card giveaway! Entering is ridiculously easy. Here’s how it works:
- To enter to win, all you have to do is comment in the comment section at the end of this post. Yes, that’s it! Mitch and I are huge fans of the “say whatever you want” thing, so really: just entertain us, haha. In the past, entrants have posted photos, funny stories, poetry, song lyrics, interesting facts about themselves–everything and anything. But you could also just talk about our tips for shopping the sale (also below!), how excited you are about Monday, what you’re hoping to score, or how fantastically awesome Mitch is. (Hmmm. I think someone may have logged into this post and done some editing…😝) Or you could type “#swimmingscallops.” (Anyone? Anyone?) Or “lkjahdfldhs” — because it all counts! (Though I’m now wondering how many #swimmingscallops and “lkjahdfldhs” comments we’re going to get.)
- For extra entries, you can comment on any of the following Lilly-inspired blog posts:

- Let’s Talk Jumpsuits
- Lela Dress

- Recent Finds, 8/20
- Emma’s East Coast Birthday Party
- Emma Goes to Maggie Daley Park
- Emma’s First Birthday Party
- Note: If you’ve already commented on one of the above posts, your old comment counts. :)
- We recommend including your email address at the end of your comment in this format: KellySLarkin (at) gmail (dot) com. That way no one gets spammed by robots by entering. Of course, this isn’t required. I can simply message you in the comment section, and you’ll be notified via email as long as you have that set set up in Disqus. But since time is of the essence here (the sale starts Monday!), e-mail is probably more reliable. :)
- The winner will be selected and announced/contacted bright and early Monday morning. This will happen before the sale starts. As always, Mitch will be using his super fancy math powers to select a winner, and then I’ll immediately e-mail her (or him!) the $200 Lilly Pulitzer e-gift card code so she can shop the After Party Sale then I’ll put her (or his!) name at the top of this post and in that day’s blog post, too.
- EVEN BETTER: A second Lilly Pulitzer e-gift card (valued at $200!) will begin right after this one ends! So yes: two chances to win. Come back tomorrow to enter to win that one! (Also, the post is sure to be a good one. Mitch will be writing some of it! 😂) The second winner will be announced mid-day on Tuesday so that she has enough time to shop the remainder of the sale. :)
- This isn’t a requirement, but you should also log into (or create) a Lilly account right now. I’ll talk about this more below, but creating a Lilly account–or if you already have one, looking over your billing address, shipping address, and credit card/PayPal information–will make for a more successful shopping experience on Monday morning. Products sell out quickly, so best not to waste time on entering billing and shipping info! Also, the site will be down for several hours before kickoff time for sale preparation, so best to do it now.
That’s it! I’ll leave you with everything you could possibly need to know about the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale–and some of my favorite family photos ever, snapped the other night by Dad. (Love you, Dad!)
Tips for Shopping the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale
🌴 Know how the sale works
Remember: This year’s sale will start this Monday, August 28th at 8 a.m. ET (ish), and it’ll run through Wednesday, August 30th. (The longest sale ever!)
Once again, there will be a “virtual line” in an effort to avoid site crashes and to ensure that everyone gets the chance to shop. When you arrive at the site, you’ll receive a number and a wait time, even if you arrive promptly at 8. Once you’re in, you can shop until you check out. When you check out, you’ll be placed at the back of the virtual line again. It’s pretty simple!
This process has worked extremely well in the past. While numbers and wait times might seem high, they’re not as bad as one might think. The line goes very quickly (often more quickly than your given wait time indicates), and you’re in before you know it, with TONS of merchandise left to shop. I also like that the virtual line prevents shoppers from going crazy and emptying their bank accounts.
Take note: It’s important to turn up the sound on your computer or device. Typically, you’ll hear a loud ding! when you’re let into the sale.
Also, keep in mind that all sales are final. Everything does, however, ship free!
🌴 Log into (or create) a Lilly account NOW
Like I encouraged before, create a Lilly account or, if you already have one, look over your billing address, shipping address, and credit card/PayPal information right now, and then double check everything. The site will be down for several hours before kickoff time for sale preparation, so best to do it beforehand. I recommend pre-loading both your credit card and PayPal info.
Leave the window open once everything is set up, and simply hit “refresh”–over and over again, haha–right before go time on Monday the 28th at 8 a.m. ET. Once you get in and receive a number, STOP clicking refresh, or else you’ll lose your spot in line! (And obviously don’t close the browser or spill coffee into your computer, like I’ve done in the past. #goodtimes)
🌴 Set reminders and alarms
The sale will start around 8 a.m. Eastern Time, so if you’re elsewhere in the country like I am, account for that. I recommend a lot of coffee if you live on the West Coast. 😂 But again, be careful with said coffee.
And yes: lots and lots of people will be commuting or already at work when the sale goes live. Listen: it’s really not the end of the world if you can’t log on at 8 a.m. — I swear! I’ve logged on during lunch breaks or at night in years past, and I’ve scored some amazing stuff. The wait times are usually shorter or even non-existent later in the day, so that’s a positive, too! And Lilly adds merchandise to the sale as it progresses.
🌴 Remember that you can use multiple devices
I use my laptop to shop the sale since I work from home, but you can also shop on any internet-capable device. If you can’t be at your computer at the time of the sale, for example, utilize that phone!
Many sales ago, mobile devices and tablets seemed to work better than computers, but over the last couple of years, I’ve found that all devices to be reliable. Use whatever option you’re most comfortable with!
🌴 Know your size
Lilly sizing is very consistent in my opinion, but from time to time, certain pieces–like the brand’s shifts, for example–run large or small. (FYI, I usually go one size down in Lilly shifts, but I always check the reviews before ordering.)
If you don’t own many Lilly pieces or are at a complete loss, do your research beforehand by reading product reviews and visiting fitting rooms. If you don’t live near a Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store, try department stores–like Nordstrom–that carry the brand. Oh, and here’s the Lilly size guide.
My best advice here, though, would be to go with your usual size when you’re shopping the actual sale if you’re not 100-percent sure. You can’t do very much about a product that’s too small, but one that’s slightly large can always be tailored or altered!
Note: I order a size XS in dresses and a size small in most everything else because I like my clothing a little looser. For reference, I’m 5’5 and somewhere between 105 and 110 pounds. I wear a size 34 A bra, and I have a long torso and not-so-long legs. I often need to get pants and dresses hemmed, but many of my friends who are 5’5 and have longer legs do not.
🌴 Narrow your search by size, price and print
On the upper right-hand corner of Lilly’s site during the sale, you’ll likely see a couple of options: “sort by” and “narrow by.” There’s no use in wasting your time looking at products that aren’t available in your size, so click “narrow by” and select “size” first. During the sale, I tend to then click on “sort by” and select “price – low to high” next. I hear that this year, you’ll be able to sort by print, too. (Maybe that was available last year, but I can’t remember.) Everyone has her own method, though!
If you’re over-the-moon in love with a particular item and you have to have it, check out immediately. You’ll be placed at the end of the virtual line if you do this, but you won’t be heartbroken that you lost what you had your heart set on. :)
🌴 Act fast
Just because a product is in your cart doesn’t mean it’s yours. Sizes go quickly during the sale, and products sell out fast. Again: if you’re over-the-moon in love with a particular item and you have to have it, check out immediately. Shipping is free, so you can place multiple orders guilt-free. (BUT REMEMBER: Once you check out, you’re placed at the back of the virtual line. So that particular item needs to be really awesome.)
🌴 Know what you’re looking for and set a budget
I think it’s somewhat easy to get caught up in the excitement of a really good sale, but it’s important that we don’t all empty our bank accounts and buy things we won’t have uses for. Identifying what you’re looking for ahead of time and setting a budget is of the upmost importance. If you’d have serious regret if you spent over a certain amount of money, know what that number is, and don’t go over it.
I’m personally going to be looking for tops and pants, as I already own a good number of Lilly dresses… and I live in Chicago. Brrr! What are you looking for?!
🌴 Realize that certain parts of the ordering process might run slowly
In the past, this is how it’s worked:
- You receive a confirmation e-mail within a few hours of ordering. (Not immediately!)
- Next, your order appears as “processing” while it’s being selected and packed up.
- After that, the order is marked as “shipped.” (While this process normally takes two to three days, it might be completed faster or much slower during the sale. Some people receive order confirmation emails immediately, while others see them a few hours later… and some people receive their products within a day or two, while others see their orders three to five weeks later. It’s normal! You can check your order status here.)
🌴 Be understanding if the site experiences problems
Like I mentioned, Lilly will likely be working to prepare the site ahead of time, and the virtual line is extremely helpful in preventing site crashes. But stuff happens. If you see the cute “Oh Shift” message or a notification that you’re “in line,” it’s highly probable that most other people are seeing that, too. (So you’re not missing anything!)
A sudden influx of traffic can cause issues for any site, no matter how much preparation. Last year, I saw very few problems, but if something happens, be patient and understanding. No need to get ugly and publish nasty Tweets or post mean comments on Facebook. It’s super nice that the company is doing this in the first place, right?! :)
🌴 Follow the kellyinthecity.com “Live Feed”
This is one of my favorite parts of the Lilly sale! The night before the sale goes live, I’ll be putting up a post called the “Live Feed” on kellyinthecity.com. I’ll be updating it regularly and “live blogging” about my experience with the sale. Be sure to follow along and join the conversation! It’s a fun (and hopefully informative) thing to do while you’re waiting to get let in! And this year, we’re making some great additions: Mitch, Emma and Noodle are all going to have their own segments. 😂
🌴 Follow the Kelly in the City Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts
I’m going to be super active on social during the sale, providing as many updates and insider tricks as possible. (And flash sales/new products added!) This is my Facebook account, this is my Instagram account, and this is my Twitter account. Let’s be friends!
🌴 Follow Lilly’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts
Likewise, Lilly’s social media accounts are a great resource. ;) The brand usually adds a few new products throughout the sale, and provides a link to them–along with updates about the sale–through those accounts. Use ’em!
🌴 Check other major sites for deals
This is a big one! Other retailers–like Nordstrom, Zappos, 6pm.com, RueLaLa and Amazon–will put a lot of their Lilly stuff on sale during and after the sale. I’ve found some great deals on those sites, so be sure to check ’em on sale day! (This is also a great thing to do while you wait to be let into the sale.)
🌴 Check Lilly Pulitzer Signature Stores for deals
They’re allowed to participate in the sale as well, but Lilly fans often forget to check in with them. Because of this, Signature Stores have some of the best stuff, long after products sell out online! Visit if you’re nearby, or call them. PS — You can shop some of the sale items a day early at Signature Stores. I stopped by the Avalon, New Jersey store a couple of days ago and their sale will begin at 3 p.m. on Sunday. (Thanks for the info, Friends! So wonderful meeting you!)
🌴 See Lilly Pulitzer’s tips for shopping the sale
🌴 Do the right thing
I don’t love it when people buy a ton of stuff during the sale just to turn around and sell it all on eBay for a profit.
Let’s remember the high school girl who’s spending her hard-earned money on her first Lilly dress. Or the tired mom who’d like to buy a few things for her daughter. Or the college girl who needs outfits for “rush,” haha. Okay, I’m being dramatic. 😂
If something doesn’t fit you, fine. Sell or trade it. (Re-Lilly is a great option.) But let’s play fair. Just think of the joy you got out of your first Lilly dress. Don’t you want some girl out there to have that same magical experience?!
🌴 Stay grounded
I’m certainly not going to judge you if you feel compelled to call out of work so that you can have first pick, or employ your family members and friends to “divide and conquer.” But remember to keep a level head. ;) This is just a sale, and Lilly swears it won’t be the last.
Like I mentioned before, this sale will span three days, so you will have a chance to shop, no matter when you log on. And there’s typically another one that occurs in January.
🌴 Enter the Kelly in the City gift card giveaways
Because why not, right? To enter, simply comment in the comment section below. (You can say anything! Just keep it PG.) Winner will be announced and contacted right before the sale starts, and then another $200 gift card giveaway will begin! Good luck. :)

Sooo excited for the sale! I’ve been shopping it for years now but I always love to hear new tips!
Hey Kelly! I love your tips for shopping they’ve definitely helped guide me in the past! I totally scoped out/tried on some goodies today in preparation!
This sale is always so fun. I’m hoping to get a new Elsa!
I so want to win this exact dress that Emma is wearing for my sister/friend Christa’s baby!!!! I couldn’t afford it otherwise so, winning this & having her adorable baby dressed in Lily would be AMAZE!
So, I will talk about Emma’s First Birthday Party in the park! Happy belated birthday cutie pie Emma! I love that you had her first birthday in the park vs. those huge “spend your life savings’ kid birthday parties. I am sure the latter are fun but, I feel like there is something so traditional about your family that I so appreciate. I love the sweet Elmo theme & the cupcakes (so adorable). I think what stood out was that the party really was for the joy of your daughter vs. a party for a child yet ‘really for adults’. it was really about Emma. I loved it! Thank you for the inspiration! I tell all of my pregnant & new mom friends to go to ‘Kelly in the City’ all of the time!!!!

I love your Lilly After Party Sale post. It was very informative and detailed nicely. I shopped my first ever sale last year and got lucky by getting a nice dress . This year its my second sale. I went to my Lilly store today. It was jam packed. I did learn that my Lilly store will NOT honor my In The Pink giftcard (even though its a Lilly Pulitzer signature store but its not a corporate Lilly store). That’s a piece of advice I would give. Another is , if you are going to the Lilly store have an open mind. It does you no good yo look for a specific item when it can be already gone. I managed to snag two shirts and a BEACH TOWEL! Yes! A hidden gem! All in all, happy shopping Lilly lovers!

Thank you!
I just recently picked up this dress! I love the neckline and how comfortable it is! That being said, I’m looking to pick up some luxletic wear in the sale so I can pretend like I actually use my gym memebership haha.
I love this post!! The APS is my all time favorite dale of the year and I love reading all of your tips and tricks to shopping it!!
I’ve never gotten anything Lily before, but have wanted to ! The sale will be the perfect time to look for something for me or my little girls!
This would be the best way to wake up!
“Let’s Talk Jumpsuits” because girl, I need to get me one!! Love ’em. And 1. Kelly – I think you’re developing a nice tan while in Jersey. 2. Mitch – have you lost weight?? 3. Emma – girl you rock those Lily shifts. 4. Noodle – way to live it up on vaca, girlfriend. Love to all the Larkins!!!!
Very excited for this! Mterstappen(at)Gmail(dot)com
I am hoping to score a Lily skirt if I win!
Elyons99(at)gmail(dot)com
I am hoping to score cute clothes for my two daughters (17) and (21)
Margaretblyons(at)gmail(dot)com
I was so excited for the sale, as I don’t own a single LP item and have wanted one for years! But then I discovered it starts right at the time I’ll be in a back to work/school meeting for our first day back. Ugh! I hope good things are left after that!
At 8am it will be my first day of school as a special educator. I will be running around trying to serivice my caseload of 12, grades 1-4, DREAMING of the Lily sale and gonna try and hop one when/if I get a chance **fingers crossed**
Thank you for hosting such an AMAZING giveaway! I love to see the matching pics of you and your daughter in Lilly! Adorable!
I’ve been waiting all summer to treat myself during APS as my treat for finishing the bar exam! I’ve got my eye on a couple different dresses that I love and are completed impractical for work as a lawyer

I’ve never owned anything Lilly Pulitzer or even set foot in her store..but have browsed through her website..I’ve always been intrigued by her designs though. So here’s to crossing my fingers! This gift card card be my way into the Lilly Pulitzer rabbit hole!!! I also didn’t know there was such a thing (I had just read on another blogger’s site) that you need to log into earlier than 8A and that it’s basically like the Nordstrom Sale where things sell out quickly and well you need to like go in arms a swinging – well not really but you know HAHHA
Thank you for these awesome tips and the chance at winning!

You two are so cute matching! Thanks for the sizing tips!
I was wondering when the sale was going to happen. I have been busy with running between my home and my parents trying to help them that I have not been able to see mailers or anything else that might have told me.
Thank you. I do wish that they had chipper shorts (the longer length –I thin 10 inch inseam). I know –I am taller and need the length.
Love the fashions that you have shown.

Hello ladies ,
Love this opportunity because being a poor college student who loves Lilly is a bit of the problem. My biggest advice for the after party sale is to prioritize and not to get greedy. If you try to put 15 things in your cart and check out there is a good chance they might sell out. I recommend checking out every two to three items. Also make an account on Lilly so that your checkout will be a breeze. Happy shopping Lilly loves.
Orchdork4283@gmail.com
This is always one of my favorite sales! Hoping to score a new Elsa! I missed getting one the last sale so getting one this one is a must!! I love wearing my Lilly at the beach each year and this is the best way to score it!!
Aluckett001 (at) gmail (dot) com
This is my first Lilly sale! I’ve always loved Lilly, but rocked that college student budget. Now that I’m a working and completely done with school, masters and all, I think it’s time to spoil myself. My best friend and fellow Lilly addict have been setting up our strategy, thankfully she’s a Lilly after party sale pro!! Can’t wait!!

I may be in the middle of a hurricane, but I am definitely shopping the sale. There can be water surrounding me, tornados in the background and I will still be shopping for that perfect shift dress. :-)
I was trying to think of something clever to say. I’m a new follower, so this is my first time commenting. When I saw where you spilled your coffee on your computer during the sale, all creativity left my brain. I hope you were able to shop the sale and get what you wanted! I get heart palpitations thinking about the things I want to buy and spilling coffee on your computer during this time is too much for my brain to handle!!! Hope everything ended up ok!

cannot wait for the sale!
So excited for this sale. I shop it every year in August and January. This year I have three little girls to shop for as well. Always a challenge finding matching dresses for all three.
so excited to shop my first after party sale!!!
ahhh the after party sale- the only time of the year this fresh out of college girl can afford brand new Lilly. May the obnoxious but addicting print gods be on my
Side! Ps. Momma daughter goals!
First time on your blog but I’ve been a lilly lover since diapers, you’re little girl is the cutest!!!
Love this!!! I was just in Ocean City with family a week and a half ago– I miss is already :( I’ve been living in Utah for school for the last 3 Lilly sales, so I have to set my alarm EXTRA early! I usually snag a good deal of two before the site crashes. I like the tips you posted, I don’t think I can add anything else to it! Maybe like try not to cry if your size is sold out in the one thing you’ve been eyeing hahaha.

Unable to shop the Sale due to my husbands crazy medical bills this year – a gift card would make my life right now.❤
I’ve always been a Lilly lover but I’ve never bought anything from the actual store. I have a few items I’ve gotten as gifts or found a TJ Maxx or Marshalls. This will be my first time shopping an After Party sale. I’m really excited. I hope I get some really good stuff.
So excited for this sale!!

This is a fab giveaway!
I’m fairly new to Lilly Pulitzer. I bought my very first items at the after party sale this past January. Now I’m obsessed and have added several items since. I can’t wait for the sale tomorrow.
I’m a Chicago girl who moved to San Francisco and could use some new Lilly! There are NO Lilly stores in California! Isn’t that absurd?! The online sale will be perfect! Fingers crossed xo
I can’t wait for the sale!!! It’s Christmas in August! Fingers cross that not all the items I want sell out like that did last year
I’ll tell a funny story since you can never have too many laughs in life lol. I’m 19 now, but when I was in Kindergarten, my class and I were in gathered around our teacher reading a book in circle time. I knew I had to fart, but when I did it, it was really loud and the whole class heard it. Of course I was mortified and everyone in the class was talking on who did and I stayed silent. Then someone was like ‘maybe it was Laura’ and I didn’t know what to do so I acted fast and I spoke up saying ‘I think it was Quantum’ and everyone seemed to agree to that answer. Poor Quantum is Vietnamese and spoke no English at all. So I blamed my fart on this poor kid who spoke no English.
This is only my second sale, got the rookie year out of the way haha! I’m so excited for the dresses and definitely Elsa tops!! Great post and thank you for all the tips!

Hey Kelly I absolutely loved this. Last years sell I was unprepared so I have gotten everything in line for this one. I am looking for something for a girl I have babysat for years. She is turning 13 and I want to give her her first big girl dress.

Bamabeauty1130(at)yahoo(dot)com
Thanks for this opportunity and for the helpful guides you’ve posted over the years! Definitely experiencing the mix of emotions that come with this time of year as an educator. It’d be a great treat to buy my first Lilly and carry a piece of summer into the fall.
Love all of these photos and thanks for the pro tips for the sale!
Super excited!!
So so so excited for APS!!
Hi Kelly! I’m so excited for this years sale! I’ve been joking with my husband all week about it because we have a baby due at the end of the week and I said watch she will come early, right as I get into the sale online! I’m so excited to get her some cute outfits! I’m loving your blog now that I’ve seen it.

I’m so excited for the sale this year! And soooo true about not buying for resale, that makes me so angry!
You and Emma always look SO cute in your matching Lilly! I cannot wait to have a daughter so I can do the same :) Is it crazy to stock up on children’s LP outfits now? I mean think of all the money that’s saved! My future husband would thank me for shopping smart haha.
Thanks!

Great post Kelly! I’ve had some stressful experiences in the past sales so this has been helpful. I don’t know if they usually go on sale but I’m hoping to find a pair of shoes this year! Always thought the gold sandals were beautiful but couldn’t justify the price normally. Here’s to hoping!!
Also, this might be common knowledge but in the past two sales, I noticed that they added some new products on the second day–it’s definitely a good idea to keep checking back because there’s more to see!

I see you’re in Ocean City!! Born and raised a Jersey girl, I will always say that NJ beaches are a hidden gem and among the top vacation spots in the U.S. (aside from what others have to say about NJ,without ever actually having visited). I feel so lucky to have such a great getaway at my fingertips, and love that you’re spending time there with your family!

My good friend in Reno is obsessed with Likly, and you have been talking about her awesome stuff for years so I feel like maybe I need to check her stuff out. But more than anything, now that I have a mini me I find that literally every time I get Cora dressed I’m trying to match with her or color coordinate with her. It’s time she and I had exact matching outfits!
Just discovered your blog — thanks for the great tips! I’m also an Emma, does that get me any bonus points in Mitch’s algorithm??

Thanks for the post!!! I love the APS sale and these are all great tips! This sale is MAJOR to any Lilly Lover so it’s always a great reminder to be patient during this epic event!
I totally find that Lilly runs big in clothing size (which is great!!) (nothing better than having to get a smaller size!) thanks for the hints and going above and beyond to help your fellow Lilly lovers fill their closets! Xoxo

Love the dress you are wearing! So excited for the sale!
My tip for the sale is hitting up the local Lilly store’s pre sale going on now. Not only did I find a cute pair of shorts already on sale in my size, I also browsed and made a list of prints or items to look for in my size during the sale. This way you can do a quick search and find what you want first then browse the other stuff for more goodies later! Hope this helps everyone, and good luck scoring that print you’ve had your eyes on!

Can’t wait for tomorrow. Hoping to score a mommy & me combo as well as some of the leggings!!
Twas the night before the after party sale and all thro’ the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse;
My shopping list was hung by my laptop with care, In hopes that my scouted out Lilly finds would ALL be there;
My iphone and pad charged as I checked the queue, While hopes of no line got dashed as I was number # 9232
With my sis on chat, and my BFF with the cold brew, We then settled DOWN for the longest wait time in queue –
When from my laptop there rose such a clatter, my wait time was up, now things really mattered.
Away to the laptop I flew like a flash, Tore open the site, while watching my cash.
The time had come to not act slow, And the luster of Lilly had my dreams all a glow;
When what to my wondering eyes should appear, But all my sizes available, and even more to hold dear, With a little extra speed, so lively and slick, I knew in a moment I must be real quick.
More rapid than eagles the purchases they came, And I whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name:
“Now! Beach Loot, now! Trunkin, now! Catch and Release, On! Tortuga, on! Lobstah, on! Tropi Call Me; To the top of my cart! To the top of my mind! Now check out! Check out! And Purchase them all!
But you heard me exclaim, as I clicked out of sight – Happy LILLY ‘After Party’ Sale to all, and to all … hopes … for NO CRASHES on the site!
You always give great thorough tips for shopping the sale. I love your collection of lilies and hope to score some in the sale. Thanks so much.
Pick me! This teacher needs some new school clothes.

I am so excited! We are expecting our first in about six weeks and haven’t found out the gender…I may have to grab a romper *just in case* we have a girl!! ❤️
Was so excited to be headed to the store in just a few hours (so cool they’re offering that this year), but with Hurricane Harvey causing all sorts of flooding issues in Houston, I hope none of the folks working in that store had to go in today and are at home safe and sound!

Hi Kelly :) I hope you enjoyed Ocean City… love it there it’s so beautiful! Sooo excited to shop the sale tomorrow.

This would be my first year not participating in the sale, your post and tips completely changed my mind. Thank you!!
I’m hoping for another cute little white dress – Lilly has the best ones!!
Love the tips regarding sizing, fotunately I am afforded the opportunity to try on items I like at my local Belks store but they are not her latest offerings. Crazy about the cropped tops and skirts.
Yay!!! I love me some Lilly!! I’m actually needing some new pieces and some cute stuff for my 6 year old starting 1st grade!!!
I would love to win!! I have twin 16 month olds and a 6 year old daughter and I’d love to dress the girls alike in some adorable Lilly!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2a312c6be9c751ce6923234944694a7e87fcebbba4b59cff5997a5aed2844ed2.jpg

Just got home from the pre-sale in store- let me tell you it was chaos, but super fun chaos. Still dying for a new popover to golf in! I’m hoping to find one in the online sale tomorrow, they didn’t have any left in store. I’ve pretty much just picked up golfing so I have an excuse to wear cute Lilly outfits on the course! amshondell (at) gmail (dot) com

Hi there Ms. Larkin!! I hope you remember me. It’s your former student Jocelyn Pulido! You used to teach English at I.S 162. Mr. Larkin taught Math in the same school. Time flies but there’s so many memories. I remember waiting to finally get to your class in the afternoon, ready to read or write. You helped me express myself through literature so much, and I thank you for that. One memory that I have about your class is reading A Child Called It, which is now by far my favorite book. I read all three of his books and cried none stop. It’s so nice seeing that you both are so happy and that you have a beautiful baby girl!! I see that Mr. Larkin also got you your dream dog and that you did in fact name him Noodle, like you said you would! I love seeing all the pictures that you post on Instagram and everything that you write on your blog. I hope all is well with your beautiful little family! God bless.
Jocelyn,
It’s so nice to hear from you! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind message. Mr. Larkin and I loved having you in our classes; you were such a joy to teach, and you are truly gifted. I know you’re doing extraordinarily well in high school, but drop me a line! My email is KellySLarkin@gmail.com — Would love to hear more about your life these days. :)
Again, you were one of the most wonderful students we ever had, and we’re so grateful that we were able to watch you grow and thrive academically. You were also one of the kindest students to have ever graced our classrooms! We will never forget that.
Thank you for inspiring your classmates and encouraging them to be the best that they could be.
We miss you!
xx
Mrs. and Mr. Larkin
(+Noodle and Emma!)
Tried a corporate store today- honestly, way more stressful than the online version!! I hope I win!!

I’ll be shopping for my 7m old and 3 year old. It’s more fun than shopping for myself, but I may look for a top to freshen up my work wardrobe. I’m still trying to figure out if we ever crossed paths during TFA… I never thought I would work in a school again after my stint in NYC, but I’m going on year 8 as a school SLP now!
From one OCNJ girl to another! Memememe!
Excited to browse! Last year I missed my place in line when I walked away from my computer & had to re-enter the line. I’m prepared this year!

I hope whenever I have children I have a girl so I can buy matching lilly outfits, you and Emma are just the cutest!
This dress is so cute!!! And Emma’s getting so big!
I just recently began following your blog. I love that you love Lilly just as much as I do. I recently purchased a Lilly dress from Belk and the man checking me out said “You ladies treat Lilly Pulitzer like it’s royalty!” I couldn’t help but laugh and agree!
I am so excited about the sale. I look forward to these each year because it is when I stock up on most of my Lilly items. Thank you for doing a giveaway. It would be a huge help. Also, thanks for all the tips. With every other Lilly lover logging on in the morning, it’s going to be crazy!

I’m soo excited for the sale! i’ve been waiting since last week for the APS date to be announced. Today I went to my local Lilly store to shop in stores, which i was really crazy and chaotic. I felt really bad for all the sales associates–they really were super busy today.

A poem for Kelly, Mitch, Emma and Noodle!
Larkin fam – you’re my jam!
You make me wanna move to Chicago/
And get my own little Noodle doggo/
We’d go to the park and watch Emma swing/
then head home to play guitar and sing/
I’m not a math gal, but would help grade for Mitch/
We’d knock those tests out in a cinch/
Then head to the shore ’cause we’re beach peeps/
I bet Kel could get us some Lilly jeeps/
And speaking of Lilly – I hope it’s not silly/
To win this gift card would be SO COOL – even chilly!
I’m a fan of you four and can’t wait for more/
Nap time with Kelly makes me so jelly/
You’re a cool mom and wife/
I love seeing your life/
Catch you on the ‘Gram/
I’m a huge KITC fan!

The t shirt dresses are so cute but I feel like they run a tad large

Hi Kelly! Just a broke College kid who needs some more lilly but can’t buy it on her own…
I have a joke for you:
How does the man on the moon cut his hair?
Eclipse it!

Entering to win gift card. Just moved my Chicago suburb Lilly girl to the Alabama for school. I am so enjoying watching your Lincoln Park adventures with Emma. She reminds me so much of Kathleen, especially all the swing pictures. I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed.

Just went to my corporate store, and holy moly!!! It was like Christmas in August, and all the ladies were trying to get the latest and greatest toys! Scored some major deals, so if you can make it to a corporate store today…RUUUUNN!!
Super excited for this sale! Lilly isn’t too popular where I live so I am hoping my local Lilly (the only one within 300 miles!) has plenty in stock tonight!! Best of luck to all in this contest :) Love all the styles on this website!!

So excited for the sale!!! I love your shopping tips and all the pictures of you and your baby girl in your matching lily dresses. Hopefully someday I will be able to do the same!!!
I use these sales to stock up on matching dresses for my Minnies! I buy for myself all year, but I feel much less guilty buying for the girls during the sale! I’ve found, always login in before, set many alerts (I learned the hard way after sleeping in) and I always check the signature stores while waiting in the queue! Best of luck ladies!

This was an extremely helpful post for an APS newbie! I actually don’t own a single Lilly piece because I just can’t afford it, so I’m hoping I can find at least one pair of pants that I can wear for work that won’t leave me with shoppers remorse lol. Thanks so much for the helpful tips! I’m excited to see what his is all about.

So glad I found your blog! I love the print you’re wearing in the first pic and want the romper so bad. Can’t wait to look through the rest of your posts!
Love the matching outfits! It’s one of the best parts about having a little girl!
Best sale of the season!!!
I beat the chaos of Monday morning and shopped the After The Party Preview at the Lilly store in Kiawah! what an amazing selection and was able to try it all on! So glad to see Lilly trying this new approach!
So many great tips, can’t wait for the sale!
Your matching outfits are adorable. Easy breezy! Excited for the sale! I heard a song today I’ve never heard of ( including the group). It was called Popcorn by the group Hot Butter. What!? I know! You’ll say the same thing when you hear it. Two hours later you’ll wonder why you’re craving Jiffy Pop! Mcmc71@gmail.com
So exciting!!
I can’t wait for the online sale tomorrow! I went to the pre-sale at my local Lilly store at 3pm when it was supposed to start but they actually launched at 11am so it was BANANAS and super picked over by the time I got there.
And I’m LOVING Mitch’s posts. His voice is so strong and never fails to make me laugh. Keep ’em coming!
I really like your blog. I find some good deals here and love your style.
Your family is so adorable!! Can’t wait for this sale!!

Anything – really say anything! I’d like to compliment you on your blog. I really enjoy it.
So excited for the sale. I’m hoping to find some palazzo pants and Elsa tops! A gift card would be amazing so my husband doesn’t have a freak out! :)
Great post! Excited for the sale!! Dancingpatricia (at) gmail (dot) com
Your daughter is such a beauty! Also, this post is wonderful! This isn’t my first sale by a long shot but this is an amazing resource for anyone who has never shopped it before.
One thing that I did for the Janunary sale (as well as this one) was to take note of which prints no longer appear on the site after the sale is announced. This gives you a good idea of which prints will and WON’T be part of #aps! Of course, random old prints show up, and there is no way to predict which ones :)
Thank you for the tips! sasha (dot) Lusk (at) gmail (dot) com
I’m looking for popovers and elsas that I can wear into fall! So pumped!

mscee91(at)gmail(dot)com
I’ve decided to go the random route. Fun fact: I have a birthmark in the shape of a handprint. I’m all seriousness, this is a fantastic post about the sale. Thank you.
As someone displaced by Hurricane Harvey from my adorable beach house in Rockport, I am so looking forward to rebuilding my lost wardrobe with lots of Lilly goodies!! The sale could not be at a better time. Her prints are the quintessential happy-beachy prints that will make me smile as we all band together to put our lives back up!! On a side note: I love your blog and your family is adorable!! Thank you for the fun distractions during a rough time.

Can’t wait for the lilly sale. School starts soon for me and I want my students to have a brightly dressed teacher for a bright year ahead!
I get so excited for the sale! This teacher is ready for a new wardrobe for a new school year!!!! I teach 5th and 6th grade science and have made sure that my first period class is strategically planned out so I can shop in between activities haha! This sale lets me get tons of goodies on a budget! Wooo! Dsteward@tampadayschool.com
This would be so great to win! I am so nervous for this sale. I have kind of been banking on this for a dress to a wedding later this fall, so hopefully I can find something!!
The Lilly sale is so fun! Hoping I can add a few more prints to my closet!

I’m here from the loop giveaway and then began reading more blog posts and love your blog! Your sweet baby is about the cutest Lilly baby I’ve seen. As I’m only a fur mom, I can’t wait for the APS to get matching stuff for my sister & I! :-)

I love the TrueFit on the Lily site! It is so helpful for this sale. Thanks for all the tips! Especially to staying grounded. It can be hard to do with all the discounts.
Thank you for chance! #Iwannawin #swimmingscallopsoranyscallopsaregreat #fundmyaddiction <3 Thanks for the great tips! This is my first after party sale

Yes!!!! I can’t wait for the sale!! I have no Lilly clothing YET, and I can’t wait to buy so much stuff!! Yay
Pick me, please!
I am so excited for the APS– thank you so much for all the awesome tips! I also love that you put out that reminder to “do the right thing…” I frequently purchase from brands that sell out in seconds after a new load, and it always makes me so sad to see things pop up on eBay (or other BST options) where people truly only purchased to turn around and sell it for a profit. Cheers to spreading thoughtful kindness. :)

Hi Kelly!
I just found your blog within the last couple of days and I have been reading all your posts nonstop! I just love your style and am also a huge fan of a lot of the brands you talk about (including Lilly Pulitzer :) ) so I have found your blog extremely helpful. Can’t wait for the sale tomorrow morning!
Email: kelseyrhammond@icloud.com
So excited for the sale! Few gems I missed out on, hope they are in the sale!
Your tips are absolutely amazing and you are so generous for doing this! I would absolutely LOVE to win this gift card! I’m currently in a financial situation and will not be able to shop the sale what so ever. There’s a few pieces I’ve had my eye on for so long and without this I won’t be able to get them. Good luck to every one that’s entered but I’m having all of the fingers and toes crossed for this one!
How cool is this?! I’d love to sport more Lilly outfits this school year!!!
I love Lily Pulitzer’s looks. They always remind me of Jackie Kennedy (who wore them)–I mean this is a classic look that really holds up! If you bought a Lily Pulitzer dress today, your granddaughter could wear it 30 years from now & look as up-to-date as if she had just bought it. (And thank you for the tips!)
Kelly – I love that you are a former teacher! Although once a teacher….always a teacher. You are just teaching a different curriculum now. Happy New School Year!

I have a little girl, Charlotte, who just turned 1 in July and I love matching… I feel like I have to do it now before she is ‘too cool’ for me. :) Also, my husband loves the comments that Mitch makes. This picture is terrible but she wouldn’t stop moving.. I’m sure you can relate :)
Hey Kelly! Funny story.. (not like “haha” but more like saying “lol” and staring blandly at your phone funny lol).. a while back, I had been Googling about tips for Adobe Lightroom. I’m an aspiring photographer (mostly surgeries-I work at an animal hospital, pets, and real estate) who hadn’t really used most Adobe products for years. Upon finding my way into photography I started using Photoshop again because I was pretty intimidated about Lightroom. Essentially, I found your advice on Lightroom editing and was soon 50,000 posts in on your blog lol (that was a real lol). Ever since, I get weekly updates sent to my email and when I FINALLY find time (I work 12hrs a day, 5-6days a week) I read your blog posts for hours! Your pictures literally give me life, and I really enjoy reading your posts! Thank you for giving me that push I needed for Lightroom, and for the great reads!

So I’ve been sneezing all day which is what happens when I get tired, stressed and run down. Now I am asking myself: will the APS tomorrow AM (and I’m on the West Coast so we’re talking earrrrrly tomorrow AM) intensify the sneezing or be a cure all? Only time will tell! ; )))
I love everything in their Tortuga Time print. Turtles are so cool!

I’ve been waiting for weeks for this sale
I love the comment about a high school girl buying her first Lilly dress, because I’ve been saving up all summer for this sale!!
The “check Signature Stores” tip is always my favorite! My local signature store is, much to my husband’s chagrin, in walking distance of my house. He says I walk in The Peppermint Palm here in Louisville and it’s like when Norm walked into Cheers! :) Heather (at) herkentucky (dot) com.
Love this! So helpful!
Hoping to get an Elsa top! I’m sure my dog, Elsa, will get hair AKA “canine confetti” on it.

So excited for this sale! You shared some great tips too. Thanks!
I dream to one day have a family like yours! I love the pictures of you and Emma in Lilly!
Ocean City, NJ is my home away from home. My husband and I and kids absolutely love it there. I love the picture that you did in front of the iconic pink house.
I would LOVE to win this gift card!!! I am on that broke college student grind (I literally paid for my coffee this morning with the change in my car cup holders) and this would be a tremendous help in fueling my preppy heart!! I am extra broke going into this year as I didn’t get a summer job to help me achieve my future goals. I took extra classes the first half of summer so I can graduate with a B.A. in Human Development and have three (!!) minors- health sciences, marketing, and sociology- all in four years! The last 5 weeks of my summer was spent volunteering at Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine, a retreat for children with life threatening illnesses and their families. It is the only program in the country where the family participates together and has activities geared towards patients, siblings, and parents. I’ve been volunteering for 3 years but this year is going to hold such a special place in my heart. I was around for a variety of sessions, including Diamond Blackfan Anemia (highly rare), low grade brain tumors, hematology/oncology, lupus, and renal/solid organ transplant. Little did I know back when I started volunteering that all of this would come full circle and become what I am so passionate about, and I’m now pursuing a career as a child life specialist, where I will be able to work with these children families during their time in the hospital. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything but it is hard being a full time student and coming back to college with no summer savings. This gift card would be a huge help!! Xoxo
Thank you for the opportunity!
LOVE THE APS!! Finally got my BF in on the Lilly love! Love your blog as well! Thank you for the opportunity! Abushdorf(at)ufl(dot)edu
I love Lilly and can’t wait to wear it all at the end of September for my wedding week in the OBX, NC!!!

I loooove Beach & Bae! I got something for me in it and am hoping to snag something for my DD in it. I got both of us matching in Sea, Salt, Sun! How funny! I shopped some early sales online :) Thank you! ShanStinson(at)gmail(dot)com
Absolutely love the dress you are wearing in this post. Your daughter is so cute in the outfit. I shopped the presage and was able to snag this dress today! Looking forward to more of your posts! Emilydobyan@gmail.com
Your tips for shopping the sale are super helpful, this is actually my first time shopping the sale and I am very excited! Although I am not looking forward to tomorrow as a whole (my college classes start tomorrow), I am excited about the sale and hope to get my hands on a few pieces I’ve had my eye on for a while. And can I just say these family pictures are so good!
If I were to win, could you DM me on Instagram @PinkEinstein
What a great giveaway! I have always wanted to match my girls in Lilly, but have never made the splurge. We have a lot of weddings coming up and would love to match my littles in Lilly! Great tips for shopping the sale. Thanks for the wonderful post.

Hi, Kelly! First and foremost, thank you so much for putting together this giveaway! So every year I’m always super excited for the APS, but this year is even more exciting for me. Just three weeks ago I said “I do” wear the Avalon maxi. Yes, that’s right! I got married wearing Lilly! Eeeee! :) It was the happiest day of my life and I’m so glad I got to experience it in Lilly. So now I get to shop around for my honeymoon outfits that I’ll be taking here shortly! Hopefully I can score some of my must-haves during the APS and continue wearing Lilly throughout the honeymoon! Thank you again, Kelly! I hope everyone has a happy APS day tomorrow morning! :)

Would love to buy some mommy and me outfits for my daughter and I! sara.j.currie (at) gmail (dot) com
I stopped by my store today and it was CRAZY! I got a dress, popover, coverup, and Elsa and refrained from some other items so I can checkout the online sale tomorrow!! Fingers crossed that I win!!
Thanks for the great information! Looking forward to the sale!! This is one of the most exciting times of the year!!
Anxiously awaiting the online sale, but went to a nearby store today to get a jumpstart! In Wellesley, MA, there is an old department store that carries a great deal of Lilly and summer items were 40% off…so that was a good thing!
My husband DID ask if I had a budget for this sale, but from One Kellie to another Kelly, it is difficult to determine when you’re not only purchasing for yourself, but a cute Minnie as well! Good luck!

thanks for the tips! i’ve been looking forward to this sale since the last one in january!
I’m excited for the sale! ❤️❤️❤️
Your little girl is precious! I literally just got “into” LP this week and have really enjoyed stumbling across your blog this evening. I would probably never normally spend that much on a dress, so it would be exciting to win and try something out (hard to choose!), and it’s very tempting to pick something up for my little one. The patterns are so cheerful that I know she would absolutely love it! :-)

Thanks for all the info on how to approach the sale . I don’t have children yet but when I do I would like to match my daughter like you do!
Ahhh stuck at work and hoping there is a cute mommy daughter combo when I get out!!
I just love reading your blog especially the Ocean City posts! I own a condo in Ocean City but rent it out in the summers so I like to read your posts on the fun you had down there the last week. I see that you and Mitch got some date nights in. When you go down next year check out Jon & Patty’s on Asbury Ave. They started serving dinners this year and I swear the food is amazing! Which I am sure you know on island for dinner can be a challenge to find something good. They even let you bring wine but don’t let too many people know that. Lol! Thank you for the play by play of the sale today. I didn’t get a chance to shop till now due to my schedule. Chin Chin!!
My email is jbosco725 (at) gmail (dot) com
AHHHH!
Jenn, I just saw this come through. What?! I had no idea!
Yes — it’s such a struggle finding good restaurants on-island; this is such a wonderful tip! Thank you! (And whaaaaa?! Wine?! You totally just made my night, haha!)
We’re hoping to get back at some point this winter… We shall go!
THANK YOU! <3
xoxo!

You’re welcome!!! Love OCNJ in the winter time!
