Lilly Love and Sunshine

I am on top of a pink and green rainbow right now!  I snagged this dress for $108!!!!  Yes it is authentic, yes it has tags, yes its brand new and yes 108 U.S. dollars!  I've been eyeing it since the moment Mrs. LP introduced it for spring. 

I've just totally gone and made my own week. 

Other things I'm digging for my most favorite season of sun, fun, Firefly sweet tea and sand

And since I'm dreaming I'll take some new stationery too!

I think I have a thing w. wellies and rain because I found the most adorable polka dot rainboot vases at Homegoods for spring.  Wish I had a snapped a pic! And I snagged this bargain from Garnett Hill.

What are y'all swooning for this spring?!?!

I think I'll go for a walk outside now the summer sun's callin my name...or work is!

Just Another Tiresome Tuesday...

I've got nothing, except a long day of work ahead, but I did have a hot shower this morning!!  I have sewing class #2 tonight, hopefully we delve into the verb tense of "sewing" instead of talking about the noun.  The first project is a tote bag. 

I'm going to give it to my mom for mother's day since she gave me the classes for Christmas.  I figured she'd appreciate the sentimental value of my first sewing project. Depending on how atrocious simple the bags turns out, I may have it personalized with her initials to spruce it up.  Surprisingly, or at least to me, all the girls in my class are my age or younger!  I couldn't believe there wasn't any moms or nanas in there.  I'll keep you posted on how the bag turns out.

Here's what I'm looking forward to today:
- 5pm
- sewing class
- Biggest Loser (!!!)
I lead a very interesting life, I tell ya! 

P.S. - Did you see this?!?!  It's supposed to debut tomorrow.

Bon Bon Rose Girls are having another giveaway, or 3, today in celebration of their blog's birthday.  Check it out!
Happy Tuesday!

Dreaming in Pink and Green...and the Rest of the Preppy Spring Rainbow

Happy New Year!  I hope y'all had a fabulous New Years full of love, laughter and fabulous friends.  Our ski trip was amazing except for the short cut that ended up turning our hour drive into a 2 hour trek!  We also forgave the resort's spa for being completely booked and not allowing my sis and I to be pampered.  The trip made for some great memories and was a great start to 2010.  Pics coming once I get them from my sis (my camera was MIA). 


I know its only the first week of January but the frigid temps have me day dreaming of the sun, sand and summer!  I'll think I'll be adding these TDF pieces to my wardrobe.
