Who else missed out on the Starbucks x Lilly Pulitzer x S'well bottle collaboration? I know that I did not peel my ass out of bed at the buttcrack of dawn to hit Starbucks in time. The gentleman managing Starbucks the morning of the release incredulously informed me at 7 am how there was an [...]

Let There Be Bright
Last Saturday the husband and I went to brunch at Maison 208 and then to Ritz Five for Hotel Artemis. Over the course of the afternoon, we walked over five miles. And y'all, it was hot out. The temperature topped eighty-six degrees. We were sure to hydrate: myself with bubbly rose, the husband with beer, [...]
Stripe Dream
I cannot get enough seersucker. Perhaps it is for the same reasons I love madras, white denim, and Nantucket reds: rules dictate that one can only wear these traditional style staples from Memorial Day to Labor Day, no matter the climate. Since the seasons restrict the opportunity to break out summer's best, I never feel [...]
How to Make Print in America
How excited I was to score this dress on deep discount from the Pink Pelican in Huntsville? Very. With the code 35closing, you can score an additional 35% off already marked down priced at this Lilly signature boutique. I was lucky enough to get in early enough to grab this dress, this dress, and these wedges. [...]
Man Approved Lilly x Pottery Barn Decor?
Should I still be a single lady living in my own lady-pad in the city, I would have already purchased all of the desired Lilly Pulitzer x Pottery Barn collaboration. Same if my husband and I were expecting a daughter. Alas I am in the space in between. Don't get me wrong, I am not [...]
Splash: Lilly Swim is BACK
Does any one else recall of the old Lilly Pulitzer swimsuit line? I found it to be so odd when Lilly Pulitzer exited the swimwear market, circa 2014. While I do not have experience with the swimwear line of yore, how strange it was to discontinue swimsuits of a resort line? Ladies, granted we had [...]
Resort Craving
It is always around this time of year that I wish I had planned a resort vacation. I could definitely go for 85 degree weather and a salted rim margarita. Give me a caftan, metallic sandals, and big sunglasses any day. Last year it hit 85 degrees on Easter. Here is hoping that Mother Nature [...]
Guac Out
I know this is old hat but I am obsessed with the Lilly Pulitzer guacamole print. I knew it would not be a part of the January 2018 After Party Sale; it is too recent of a release. My husband rolls his eyes at me and has insisted that he has no need for an [...]
Lu’s Travel Rules
Today I am going to break down a topic that to many is considered a luxury, but triggers my anxiety. Ladies and gentlemen, I am speaking of travel preparation. As mentioned in Celebrating Through Spain Part I and Part II, the then-fiance planned a honeymoon with the destination being a surprise to me. As in, [...]
Floral in Burgos
After day one of our wine tour, the husband and I found ourselves in Burgos. It was a wonderful town to stay the night. We enjoyed tapas and wine after visiting the cathedral. There was a festival later that night, but we decided that a 9 am wake up time would require an early bedtime. [...]
Print + Stripes
The weekend before our wedding, the fiance and I had to run a few errands. One of them was exchanging a few bowls gifted from our registry that were crushed in the mail. Dang USPS! Trips to Scarlett Alley, where we registered for dishes, are always a treat even under unfortunate circumstances. The owner always [...]
Gulf Coast State of Mind
Growing up on the Gulf Coast, there were certain staple items that were crucial to one's wardrobe. Since I left the coast in 2008, I have not noticed these items in the communities along the east coast seaboard, where I have since lived: Maryland, Washington DC, Philadelphia. The fiance and I tend to return to [...]
