Last Day Updates: Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale

Last Day Updates: Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale

Harp Cashmere Wrap: I love these for vacations! (Perfect for bringing along to dinner in case it gets a little chilly.) They’re also one-size-fits-all so they make for wonderful gifts.

6:00 p.m.

Okay! Apologies for the delay over here; feeling a bit under the weather today. It seems like Lilly did add some new styles and accessories to the After Party Sale, but the did it during the evening and they mostly restocked sizes. (You can see what’s been added simply by visiting the main sale page. The new stuff shows up first.) Remember that the sale ends tonight at 11:59 EST, so be sure to complete the last of your shopping now. Also, don’t forget to enter to win one of the five pieces from the sale that I’m giving away! I’ll pick winners late night tonight and announce tomorrow.) Here’s what I have my eye on:

  • Seahorse Skipper Popover Dress: Stop it. So cute. A return to prep, for sure, and I love it. (Confession: I kind of miss the critter phase, haha.)
  • Leonie Dress: How did I miss this?! Maybe it was recently added, but I love this LBD! I love that the sleeves are enough of   statement that you don’t even need to wear jewelry. Just a pair of pearl studs and a cute pair of pumps and you’re good to go! Stunning.
  • Pineapple Sweater: I remember loving this when it came out, and I was so excited to see that it was added to the sale! As a girl who gets cold in July and August, I really depend on my few summer-appropriate sweaters for nights out. Adore this one!
  • Preston Top: A cute spin on the classic navy striped top. Note the ties at the sleeves!
  • Stella Shift (Also linked here in more sizes): I know. Stop talking about this dress. But it’s really the cutest, most flattering dress of all time, and in my opinion, the best dress Lilly’s ever made, haha. Note: It IS flowy, but it hangs beautifully because the material is somewhat substantial. If you’re in between sizes, perhaps go down one… but otherwise, simply order your normal size.
  • Sea View Button Down: A great staple for the summer or vacations. Lightweight yet provides some sun protection and looks awesome with white jeans or shorts.
  • Lela Top: The Lela Dress, which sadly isn’t available right now, is one of my all-time favorite Lilly pieces, so I was pumped to see the tank included in the sale! It’s beautiful, and again: something that hangs beautifully. If it’s available in your size, I would grab one! It’s a fantastic staple.
  • Sloane Maxi Dress: Still a bunch of sizes left! It’s gorgeous, and one of  my faves when I’m pregnant but also when I’m not. It’s flattering on everyone! I go up one size when pregnant.

Hope this helps. :)

Lilly Pulitzer 2019 After Party Sale Try-On Session + 5-Product Giveaway

Lilly Pulitzer 2019 After Party Sale

CLOSED: Congratulations to Lauren B., Emmie C., Amy J. T., Cristina W., Katelyn C., and Karissa S.!

I picked out a few styles that will be included in the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale, which is currently live (!), and they came yesterday. So tonight, I’m reviewing them and giving away five products!

Pregnancy Update #2

Pregnancy Update

Mitch is wearing: Patagonia Quarter-Zip Pullover (Women’s version here.) / Newer Version of Mitch’s Barbour Jacket (We also love this one and this one. Btw: This is my personal favorite women’s Barbour because it has the same classic fit as the Beadnell, but it has a polar-quilted liner, making it extra warm.) / Newer Version of Mitch’s Cole Haan Loafers (Also try these. Sperry’s version is known for extreme comfort, too.) / J.Crew Jeans / Newer Vineyard Vines Gingham Button-Down

I’m wearing: Madewell Loafers (YOU NEED THEM. I also adore this classic pair from Sperry just as much. Both insanely comfortable and fit perfectly TTS; just choose which style you like best. The Sperrys are obviously a bit preppier. Madewell also makes a similar classic pair, which is known to be super comfy, too.) / Halogen Cashmere Turtleneck (A true wardrobe staple for me, both when I’m pregnant and not! It runs very big, though. If you’re not pregnant, I would go down one size… and if you’re pregnant, either order your normal size or go up one.

Here’s another more affordable option. I also love this similar cashmere turtleneck from Halogen. Shop all Halogen cashmere sweaters here.) / Burberry Macken Bag (Also love this oversized tote.) / 1901 Red Blazer (In velvet here, in pink here, and love this red blazer coat from Madewell.) / Similar Kate Spade Sunglasses / DL1961 Jeans (Maternity here.)

HI!

We have some pretty awesome baby news to share today, and a big update. :)

3 Resolutions for 2019

3 New Year's Resolutions

21 Weeks! Striped Button-Down (Now at J.Crew Factory! Love when that happens.) / DL1961 Jeans (Maternity here. Though just ordered this pair and this pair from Old Navy and super excited. Do you have other affordable options? I want them to be super tight in the legs, super soft all over, and comfy and forgiving in the belly area. So many requirements, haha.) / Everlane Boots c/o (Also try these! I love them.) / iPhone Case / Goyard Tote

Okay! We’re back to regularly scheduled programming after that little Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale freakout. ;) On Tuesday, I shared a big recap of 2018, and today, I’m sharing my three resolutions for the new year.

First, I need to just say that 2019 hasn’t been great so far, haha. Nothing serious or truly terrible has happened, but everything just keeps breaking. House stuff, technology stuff, car stuff, insurance stuff, business stuff–you name it and it’s broken. Heck, when I went into the bathroom today to clean and re-organize, the toilet paper dispenser thing fell off the wall. (I hadn’t even touched it!) Idk, guys. We’re working around the clock to fix everything, but oh yeah, the clock’s broken, too. 😂

I know that this is just a funny little funk we’re in, though… and I’m sure that by next week, we’ll be smooth sailing. ;) RIGHT, WORLD?

I digress.

The Best of 2018

Highlights from 2018

Happy New Year, Friends! I hope you had a wonderful night. We celebrated at our neighbors’ house like we do every year, and it was low-key, easy and lovely. :)

Today, though, I wanted to share some highlights from 2018, because it was a great year. Warning: This is a LONG post. 😉 But I loved looking back on everything; it was a nice reminder of how blessed our little family is… and how much love is in our lives. And, of course, how lucky we are to have you. Thank you for following along with us! We’re unbelievably grateful for your friendship, guidance, kindness and support.

So without further ado, here’s the “Best of 2018.” ☺️

My Favorite Everlane Products

My Favorite Everlane Products

YAY! I’m so excited about this post. Today, I’m reviewing my favorite products from Everlane, which is one of my go-to brands for staples, basics, and (of course) gifts! I feature the brand often in my “What I Wore” series, among other posts… who can forget my years-long obsession with the Bridge Sandal?! (Don’t worry. It’ll come back this spring/summer.)

But in case you’re new here, let me introduce you to Everlane. :) The company is known for its incredibly well-made products (produced at ethical factories around the world) sold at fantastic prices. How do they do it? Well, they cut out the middleman and the brick-and-mortar storefront. Which is why they can price a gorgeous cashmere sweater, for example, at $100 (actually on sale for $70 today) instead of at $210, which is what you could expect to find elsewhere at more traditional stores.

Watch Giveaway

KLASSE14 Watches (Here’s the red watch and here’s the gold watch!) c/o / Sailor-Sailor Dress c/o / J.Crew Topcoat / Stuart Weitzman Lowland Boots (Best Over-the-Knee Boot Recommendations: This Pair, This Pair and This Pair. Yes, the Lowlands are awesome and never fall down, but I can’t in good conscience recommend spending that much on suede boots. I have them because I wore them for a campaign a couple of years ago. If you’re dead set on them, though, I would check RueLaLa, as they show up on there pretty frequently!) / Chanel Bag (Vintage! Here’s how I scored mine.)

Hi, guys! I’m back in Chicago, and so happy to be home. Of course, Mitch and I are currently in that “We Want to Be Minimalists” mode that we always slip into after Christmas, and we’re in the middle of a huge clean-out. But it feels great. We’ve already unloaded so much unneeded stuff!

Btw: Do you have any tips for decluttering and cleaning out your home? I’m currently putting together a blog post on the process, and would love to hear what’s worked for you!

Anyway, I have one last holiday look for you this year… and another giveaway. ☺️

Our Christmas in iPhone Photos, Part I

Christmas in iPhone photos

This mug was a gift from my aunt/cousin, but not sure where it’s from! But this one, this one and this one are similar and so cute!

Aaaaaand we’re back! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends, and that you’re having a slow week. :) I know I am! This is my first time opening the computer in a week, haha. I’m actually still at my in-laws’ lake house for the second phase of our holiday travels, but I took a very long nap this afternoon–yes, with the toddlers–and am now wide awake at 10 p.m. 😂 So I thought I’d ease back into things with a little recap post made up of completely out-of-order iPhone pics!
