I cannot even begin to find the words to describe the past 36 hours. They were sheer amazement. I have had the absolute BEST time meeting so many AMAZING ladies and the time we spent together was not nearly long enough. In fact, these ladies deserve a post of their own as our dinner at Bahama Breeze was nothing short of fabulous. With that in mind I have decided to share my purchases with you all this evening.
I clearly took this quote to heart (you will agree once you see the below photos...)
The BEST travel companions in the ENTIRE world!
Good thing we had a big trunk other wise we would have had too many bags on our laps.
Hmmm, can we say addiction?!
Oh, but it is WELL WORTH IT! Look at everything (almost everything as I have neglected to post same accessories and gifts)!!! I think the best part about the Lilly Pulitzer Warehouse sale this Fall were the one-of-a-kind items. There seemed to be loads of samples (in my size!) that had just been cut for HQ or showrooms and then there were even more items that had been especially made for the sale! Obviously, I had to stock up on all these items!!
Since I super stocked up this year I am not going to take individual photos, but rather included some "model" shots from our mini hotel room fashion show last night.
I think this dress is my very favorite purchase (although it is about next to impossible to choose). It is just like my Brennan dress from Resort 2008 Jubilee- the same beading and weight- but the color and style are just to DIE FOR! I am obsessed with this sweet thing!
Cassie and I LOVE our matching Sabine dresses made out of extra men's shirt material for the sale. I got the red and blue for 4th of July and maybe even and SMU game! You can roll the sleeve up or keep them down, the look is always darling.
Another fabulous find that I think is almost even Indian inspired. I love this tunic style dress. I am thinking about wearing it with black tights for Thanksgiving!
I adore all my purchases and am already ready to start the countdown for the Spring Lilly sale!!!

I have heard nothing but magical things about the get together! And from the looks of it, nothing but wonderful things were found!
ohhh - they had GOOD stuff. They don't always and fall in the past is usually weaker than the Spring. Maybe in the down economy they had more stock. LOVE what you picked up! I am going to try and attend the Spring one :)
You found some wonderful items at any price, but on sale - wow! Love love love your beautiful new dress. The shirtwaist dress also looks darling on you (mais oui!).
See you soon.
It seems as if the Lilly warehouse sale had a good selection. I love the dress you selected in the first picture and the Indian design on the tunic dress. It's very pretty!

Wow! I am loving it all and am in awe!!

OMGoodness!!!!! Now that you are home, you absolutely MUST post a picture of each itme that you purchased- I think you need to do a special post called "Hopsy's Lilly-drobe"! Wouldn't that be fabulous???? xoxo;)
I love all f your finds. My favorites are the beaded dress and the gold ballet flats. I almost ought those at the Lily store n Watercolor FLA this summer. I LOVED them but my 12 year old son talked me out of them...he hated them. Last time I will listen to him.
How wonderful that y'all got to meet.
You really got some beautiful things!! I am so jealous. My girls and I wanted to go so bad, but it just did not work out this time. Hopefully we will get there some time for the sale. It was just like Christmas, wasn't it? A very Happy Thanksgiving to you! Love & blessings from NC!
so cute! LOVE your finds! xoxo KAG
I had that Brennan in my hands and put it back-- glad it went to a good home! It looks great on you!
Warner was a great purchase too- you'll love it.
Looks like you girls did some damage shopping! Love your "loot"!
I agree with everyone else--MORE photos please! Everything looks amazing. What a wonderful time. I hope I can go in June!
You are so blessed! It is so much fun to spend time with other ladies shopping and having an all around good time. It is so nice when it all comes together like that. Getting good deals is the icing on the cupcake!
Beyond jealous but thrilled for ya'll...XXOO
Nice job, can't beat the prices! I hope to make it over there one year! Enjoy!
Ahh! I think my heartbeat sped at that picture of all the Lilly bags--and you are just darling in that pink tunic!
Congrats on a tres successful trip!
