#BuyMeLilly

Hey y'all,

For those of you who woke up early, or took a quick work break at 8am I want to know what you snagged at Lilly's After Party Sale. I am so pleased that the site worked out so well. Yes, there was a snag when they loaded the site but I looked around and took my time and still checked out twice all before 8:30am. I knew going in that I only wanted a few more Murfee scarves since the one I got last year is my go to scarf to brighten up a rainy day and I receive so many compliments on it. I was a little disappointed in so many scarves being over $40 but I ended up with these two items:

Lulu Murfee Scarf for $29

Jellies Be Jammin for $54

 I love the Southern Charm pattern as well but I have a lot of pink and green going on in my scarf collection so I wanted to add ones with more colors.

What did you snag?

Hey y'all,

Today starts the time of the Aquarius horoscope, typically I am not into astrology but, Lilly Pulitzer has been making Murfee scarves for each of the signs. Since I am a water-bearer (10 days until I turn 24!) I was really excited to see what Lilly would come up with for my sign...

Aquarius is described as:

Here is the murfee scarf:

I'm not in love with it. Typically Aquarius is shown as waves or a person holding a jug of water but this was very mermaid focused. Nothing against mermaids, they were just not what I was expecting for my sign. The first image in this post was a Lilly 5x5 from Pinterest and I thought that would be more inline with the Murfee. Maybe I will love it when I see it in person but for now I think I will pass. 

However, this bangle from C.Wonder might fill my Aquarius fix:

Thoughts? Have you seen the Horoscope Murfees?

WILW {August 21}

Hey y'all,

Now that the students are back at Carolina I guess I am officially at the start of my sophomore year in the "real world." I am beginning to feel comfortable in the world after working full time the past nine-months and I can't wait to see what this new year brings. Today I am loving...

...my newest Lilly purchases. I know a lot of people lost faith in Lilly during the Endless Summer Sale. I agree that it was a bit insane to refresh a page for 3 hours then spend another hour trying to check out and realizing no order number meant it didn't go through. However, I am a patient bargain hunter and was able to snag three Cassie dresses since after I bought it in the New Year's Cheer Sale I am obsessed as well as a Murfee & Murfette. It was pretty much buy two items get three free when you break down my savings. I am still eyeing the NC Murfee and it is still online so here's hoping that I can grab it for a splurge on my one year at UNC full time.

.....worms and dirt. Last night I made my Mom's worms and dirt recipe since every year, my family celebrates the start of school with worms and dirt. It is the only time of year we have the treat and it is one of those random traditions that I still uphold even as a postgrad.

....the Good Morning Girls Fall study Loving Like Jesus just opened. GMG is an online community, like She Reads Truth but they send out their study materials through email and then connect with three blog posts a week. I am excited to dig deep into Luke and you can enroll for the study now, it starts September 2nd!

....tonight was my first night of chapter as a faculty adviser. I am so excited to help my chapter continue to grow and I love my co-adviser. It is going to be a great year with Phi Beta Chi!

...speaking of PBX, I was able to spend some time with my fam this week before they started school so we all grabbed some frozen yogurt at Sweet Frog Sunday afternoon and it was great to catch up.

...my new planner. I took the plunge and ordered the striped Kate Spade planner from Lifeguard Press and it arrived this afternoon. I have yet to add anything to it since I am in the middle of debating getting new pens or sticking with my trusty Sharpie system but I will post a full review next week.

Summer Splurge Wishlist

Hey y'all,

So instead of doing a summer wish-list I thought I would share some of my upcoming splurges. I am already planning to purchase some of these things, like an iPhone so I can actually join this century as well as a couch for my new place but if I am a good saver this summer I might find some arm candy or a NC State Murfee in my possession.
