Lilly Sale: New Product Drop + Restocks

New product drop: Amenna Dress in “Onyx” / Originally $198 / Sale price: $69 / Size shown: 2 / Size I would normally buy: 2 / Fit + Overall thoughts: Another favorite, and one that I took home! Again, I really surprised myself with the products I ended up with. I normally don’t love dresses with billowy arms, but this dress is wrinkle-resistant and just hung very nicely! A great black dress to take on vacation. :) The size 2 worked perfectly. / Tde. Phone Case / Bow Earrings / White Cane Pumps

Guys! There was just a new product drop for the Lilly Pulitzer After Sale, and many popular styles were restocked, too.

The Power of 15-Minute Home Tasks

Rejuvenation “Opal” Pulls / Serena & Lilly Round Jute Rug / Cane Dining Chairs (Also see these. Here is the original inspiration.) / Pine Dining Table (Also available here.) / Williams Sonoma Planter / Serena & Lily Chandelier (Also carried at One Kings Lane, Bellacor and 1800Lighting. Williams Sonoma has a very similar one, too.) / Restoration Hardware Light Fixture over Buffet / Future Mirror / Similar Ginger Jar / Cathy’s Concepts Wine Trough / Holiday Bows (Obviously need to take them down, haha)

I’m just starting to feel like it’s a new year. I can’t lie: I was somewhat shellshocked from the holidays, and was completely overwhelmed by the mere thought of getting back into the groove of things once we returned to Chicago. And then hearing everyone’s resolutions only made it worse. 😂 I couldn’t even catch up on laundry, much less map out the next year of my life to maximize productivity and embrace wellness and commit to all the other things I was supposed to be committing to.

But here I am! Alive and not deathly ill and tired but chugging along, all the while slowly putting my life back together and considering thinking about thinking about (not a typo) my goals for 2020… because I do think it’s a worthwhile endeavor. I’m not there yet, though. 😜 Isn’t keeping two tiny humans alive enough?!?! (Kidding but also serious.)

What’s in My Cart + $500 GIVEAWAY WINNER

Zelle Lace Dress: My #1 pick from the sale! Apparently this dress is incredible for travel as it’s wrinkle resistant and very soft. Love that you could wear it with flip flops and make it casual or dress it up with pumps. Huge fan!

Wow! I feel like Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale shoppers were let into the site very quickly this morning. I think it took about 15-20 minutes for me to get through, though that’s right in the middle of kiddie drop-off, so I wasn’t surfing until a bit later in the morning. But over the last few years, Lilly has really upped its game in terms of inventory, so I really never worry! Honestly, even if I couldn’t browse until the evening, I wouldn’t think twice about it! There’s a LOT. :)

But let’s pause for a second to announce the $500 (randomly selected) giveaway winner. Drumroll please!

Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Try-On, Part I (Outerwear, Sweaters and Dresses) + An Extra Chance to win $500 to Shop!

Tiki Wrap Romper in “Resort White Zanibar Lace” / Originally $178 / Sale price: $44

Hi guys! Lilly invited me to do a try-on to help promote the After Party Sale, so yesterday, Mitch drove me out to the Lilly Pulitzer store in Oakbrook. I tried on SO many sale products, so I’m going to break up the try-on into two different posts. And today, I’m featuring all the outerwear, sweaters and dresses that I selected!

Btw: You can shop early at the Oakbrook store! Today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday), shop the sale from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and expect 30-65 percent off. There will likely be a line, but parking will be super easy if you arrive early since the mall doesn’t open until 10 a.m.!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Friends!

Last night, Mitch and I threw our first official party in the new house, and it was amazing! We normally celebrate New Year’s every year in pajamas with our friends Barbie and Jordan and their children… but since we now have more space, we figured why not extend the invite to others?! We threw it together very last-minute, but in the end, there were over 50 people in attendance! 😂 And while I was a little worried that things would get out of control, the kids were awesome and I can’t imagine a better way to ring in 2020–with old friends and new. Today, all Mitch and I can talk about is how lucky we are to be a part of this community, and how happy we are that we decided to stay.

Faux Fur Coat

Faux Fur Coat (Available via Nordstrom, Shopbop, Zappos, Amazon and BB Dakota.) / Tartan Headband / High-Waisted Jeans (SO warm. Order one size down. This pair, however, is my all-time favorite pair of Madewell jeans.) / Newer Burberry Tote (Marketed as a diaper bag but just a tote. Looking for a great camel tote that won’t break the bank? Try this one!) / Everlane Cashmere Square Turtleneck (I also have this one, which I ADORE. Here’s the non-boxy version. Also try J.Crew’s Super Soft Mock Neck Sweater. It’s as amazing as people say it is!) / Newer Cole Haan Boots (Also love these, these. and these.) / Sunglasses

So this is awesome: I forgot to schedule my blog posts for the end of the year, haha. (#killinit) Sorry for going MIA for a while; currently publishing the content that should have gone up during the end of the season! 😂

This is my LAST holiday look! Whaaaaat?

Blackwatch Plaid Blazer

Blackwatch Plaid Blazer (Also love this one and this one. They’re all SO GOOD. On sale, too! Looking for something more classic? Two of my most-worn blazers are this long camel one and this long houndstooth one, both from Talbots.) / Noodle Flats / Velvet Pants / White Cable Sweater / WH Hostess x Crab & Cleek Chicago Tote

Somehow I have two holiday looks left to post and TWO DAYS BEFORE THE NEW YEAR. If that isn’t a good omen for 2020, I don’t know what is. 😜
