January Birthday: Treat Yourself!

Hey y'all,

I have been feeling under the weather lately, however, the makers of cold medicine have made the past few days much better, not to mention the adorable 2 month old puppy that visited the office this afternoon.

But, since the month of January is my Birthday month and there are lots of great after Christmas deals going on it has been hard to resist treating myself to a few goodies here and there.

Right before Christmas, the Target and Neiman Marcus collaboration went 50% off online. It is now 70% off but I did grab a few things that I am loving. I might be checking my local store for another set of the plates since they are fabulous! I also love the canvas tote I grabbed. It is the perfect size and very durable, perfect as my everyday work bag.

This morning kicked off the Lilly Pulitzer's New Year Cheer Sale and of course I jumped on that! I picked up two skirts and two dresses all for under $150! I would say that is a good deal! I snapped up:

Cassie Dress in Bright Navy Ahoy There $39

Minnow Skirt in Multi Secret Garden Mini $29

Laney Dress in Hollyhock Pocket Full of Posies $49

Briar Skirt in Resort White Lobster Stripe $19

What good deals have you found lately? Do you tend to treat yourself often?

Also, today I found some great swaps!

Or....the Blogger Book Swap! This bookworm jumped on the bandwagon quick!


Peace and Blessings,

WILW {June 20}

Hey y'all,

On this first day of summer I'm loving....

....spending time by the pool. It was the perfect day to lounge on a pool bed and read during the afternoon.

...that I bit the bullet and ordered the Erin Condren life planner. Now to wait until it arrives. I think it might kill me to wait that long.

...the Lifeguard Press Lilly Pulitzer stickers. This would have been perfect if I was still in school so I am going to buy some of the sorority sheets and some of the academic ones and send them up to my sorority family to use in their planners. SO CUTE! There is even a family themed one here.

....while on the Lifeguard Press website I  rediscovered my love of these Jonathan Adler Die-cut notepads. The second I get a job and desk to decorate these guys are going into my cart for purchase. They are so cute and a great way to jot down a note and decorate a desk.

also look at these adorable magnets. They are perfect for my Lilly magnet board.

...that Disney/Pixar's new movie Brave comes out THIS FRIDAY! As a Disney lover, a girl with some Irish heritage and the fact that I studied Celtic Art, this is the PERFECT movie for me.

....SWAPS. I love the blog swaps I am participating in as well as looking for the perfect gift for my partners. Its a great way to find new blog reads and have lots of fun creating mini gift baskets. I'm thinking about hosting a school supply swap. I personally love finding cute school supplies and I think it would be great to host one in July/August so people could have an adorable "first day of school" gift filled with cute and useful items. Thoughts? Anyone want to co-host?

What are you loving this week?

Peace and Blessings,
