What I Bought From the Lilly Sale | Weekly Review | Weekend Update

What I Bought From the Lilly Sale: I bought the Shay dress in the print multi so sophisticated from the sale. I wanted a more casual dress that could be worn on multiple occasions and I think this one is perfect for that. The sale is so exciting I can't wait for the next one. 

Weekly Review: This past week was one of my best friends 21st birthdays. Where we live there is a deal at three local bars that is called the trifecta where you can get three huge drinks at three different bars. One of the drinks is a giant teacup which is the one she wanted to do. It was pretty funny to drink out of a teacup the size of a salad bowl! 

🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAIT 🎉

Weekend Update: This weekend seems like it is going to be pretty low key, I may meet up with some friends. Other than that not a whole lot going on but I'm looking forward to it being that way. 

❤️WARNING BACHELOR IN PARADISE SPOILERS AHEAD❤️

Bachelor in Paradise: I thought that this season was super interesting, I really loved the couples that were formed and was super sad to see most of them not make it. First, with Tia and Colton breaking up, at first I was really mad and upset at Colton but the more I thought about the way Tia reacted by saying he gave it a try and it didn't work and pretty much it's okay. After hearing how she reacted I was more accepting of what he did and now I'm really excited for his season of the bachelor. 

My favorite couple of paradise was Jenna and Jordan, first, can we talk about how stunning Jenna is?!?! And I think Jordan loved her from the beginning, their relationship was put through a lot but he always stuck by her side which I think shows the type of man that he is. Their engagement was so beautiful it made me tear up a little. I don't think anyone predicted that this couple would be the one to get engaged but I'm so happy for them.

Annalise... Annalise... she was very eager to fall in love the moment that she laid eyes on any guy. I felt as though minutes after her first date with Camile she was like I wanna have his babies, I would marry him right now, I can see us together forever. I know that's what paradise is about but slow down just a little bit. I do think that Camile said the perfect thing instead of getting engaged because they didn't have the same amount of time as everyone else. Although she was a little eager, what he did to her at the tell-all was disgusting. He should not have done that on national television, I feel sorry for her. 

Kevin and Astrid really made me sad. If he wasn't ready for a new relationship then he should not have come to paradise. I think what he did to Astrid is mean and disgusting, there was no way she could have made it more clear to him that she was all in. The bachelor tell-all pretty much validated that him leaving was due to his baggage which I still don't think it is fair to Astrid but I do hope that they work it all out. 

Chris and Krystal were a couple that I was always so unsure about and I think that's because they always seemed so unsure about each other. I thought that the dress she wore for the engagement was very casual compared to what the other girls wear at this moment. I do think that their engagement was beautiful 

Grocery store Joe and Kendall had a rocky time at bachelor in paradise and I think it is mostly due to Kendall's actions. Her thing with Leo did not help their relationship and I don't think she treated him very fairly in not seeing how much he loved her. I think that they almost had to break apart for her to realize that he was what she wanted. But they looked like they were in a good place at the tell-all and I'm happy for them cause I do love them as a couple. 

Lilly Pulitzer + Where Else to Buy Lilly

The Lilly sale is officially less than a week away. I love the Lilly sale and I think it is so exciting when it comes around. I have bought from this sale which is usually in August (This year it's later) and again in January for about four years or more now. I usually find a few items that I can't live without, I'll show those on the blog later. But if you don't feel like waiting for the only two times a year that the sale comes around there are a few other places you may be able to get a deal.

Poshmark: 

It is a little frustrating that the Lilly sale is only two times a year. If you're like me then you love a bargain. There are a few other places to get Lilly on sale. One place is Poshmark, most of the stuff on Poshmark is pre-used but sometimes you can find an item that is new with the tags. I found this Lilly for Target shift pictured above on major sale from Poshmark. There are constantly new and used Lilly items being put up on Poshmark. I had a great experience receiving my Lilly item but I do know that you have to take precautions when shopping on Poshmark. For example:

• Make sure that the pictures are taken of the actual item and not just photos taken from the internet. This way you can see if the item has any stains or rips. 
• Ask for more pictures. If you are really interested in an item don't be afraid to ask for more pictures of the item. One time I asked for pictures with a tape measure to see how big the item was. You can ask for closer pictures of the stains or anything else you may wanna see closer. 
• Never email someone or do a transaction outside of Poshmark through an email. If someone comments on one of the items you are selling and wants to email you about purchasing it, they are most likely a scammer. Another way that you can see if someone is a scammer is on their profile other poshers will comment scam on their photos sometimes. 

6pm.com:

This actual site I have never purchased from but I do know of people who have. Right now they have a few Lilly items that are on sale. This is one of those websites that I would watch to see if the prices go down even further every now and then. This site has a lot of stuff on sale that is usually included on the Lilly sale. So if you missed an item that you wanted I would check this website to see if they have it. 

In Store:

The Lilly store has a pre-sale before the items go on sale online on Sept. 8th - Sept. 9th but if you don't live by an actual retail Lilly store like me than your out of luck on the pre-sale. But you should do some research because I do live by a store named the pink paddock which is actually a Lilly Pulitzer store that is privately owned. Because they are privately owned they don't do a sale at the same time corporate Lilly does it. So if you have a privately owned Lilly store by you watch out for their sales.

What I Got From the Lilly Sale | What I Wish I Got

At the end of the year, I will be graduating with my bachelor's degree from college and every time I have a big moment in my life I have to get a Lilly dress to wear. This year Kyle was kind enough to let me pick out a Lilly dress during the sale to get for graduation.

I picked out this Mila Shift dress mainly because of the detailing along the neckline I think it is so different and such a cute statement piece. I love this bright print which is going to look so pretty this summer and I am so excited to get it!!

So this year this is the only piece I got because I am on a budget and I'm trying to save money for my new car but there were so many other things I could have bought this year. 

*All of these things linked above are from the sale but from other stores and may not be on sale. They also may be other patterns than the ones that were included in the sale.
