These Are A Few of My Favorite Things!

I was SO excited to discover that two WONDERFUL websites (Splash of Pink and C. Orrico) have posted almost this entire 2010 Lilly Pulitzer Fall Collection over my lunch today. I have seen a few photos here and there, but mostly I have just studied drawings of the collection. It may still be 100 degrees outside in Dallas, but I have my eye on a number of MUSTS for this Fall!

You know how I adore my shift dresses!
I love that this item is a bit trendier- I need more of that in my closet!

Bright colors and a classic cut makes this dress a winner!

This would be perfect on a casual Saturday. It looks so comfortable!

I LOVE all things cable knit so I am anxious to get my hands on a cable Shere!

Holiday party must have. I love the detailing on the bottom of this frock.

Fun turtlenecks can make even the coldest of days a little bit warmer.

A cable knit blazer....oh la la!

I believe this jacket also has a matching skirt (could not track down a photo). From work to play we go!

You can never have too many shifts....right?!

I saved my VERY favorite for last! This lovely is also available in navy- j'adore!

Of course I am also thrilled about the yoga/work out line too!

For the LOVE of...

BAMBOO!

Whether it be for your home or yourself there is always a place in life for some bamboo!!!

Oh Shift Round Two

A few weeks ago I re-posted my shift collection. In doing so I realized I was depriving you of my newest additions. Tish, tish to me! So, the wait is over...below is the rest of my collection!

Everything is better in pink and green! This shift was my first originals purchase!

My shift shift!

I bought this dress on eBay last summer, but it is circa 2000. I love it and it is a true testament to my love of the shift dress!

I love the scalloping on this pique shift. I picked this up, as well as the one below, at the 2008 warehouse sale.

I love the giant flowers on this shift. I think a number of you own it as well, we are Lilly twins!

Well, you know I love elephants and all things pink and orange so this Delmar is right up my alley!

I just could not get enough of the Delmar or the sweet koalas.

This dress is perfect for a day at the races. In fact, I wore it to our derby party!

This 2009 Stephanie shift is perfect for Dallas weather. Like the next two shifts, it too looks wonderful alone or with a turtleneck underneath.

It's A Charmed Life!

This lovely is hands down one of my VERY favorite shifts. I have worn this dress to so many memorable events and do not think I will ever be able to part with it.

Another shift from a Fall collection. The fun print and bright colors brighten any dreary day!

All the horse reference on my newest shift are tres Lilly, but they also remind me of my riding days!

Sale, Sale, Sale!

It is time to give a new home to things I have not worn in over a year as well as a few items for a dear friend that no longer fit. Do you have room in your closet to give these preppy pieces a new home?

All items are listed below. If you have any questions on sizing, material, condition, etc. please do email me (kappaprep@gmail.com). If you are interested in an item or if you have another offer please email me too. Shipping is $5 per item, but as always I am of course willing to combine ($7 for two items and $10 for three items).

This style is so fun and playful for Spring and Summer. The dress ties in the back to the size can almost be adjusted. The dress hits me right at the knee. Darling dress that is great for summer soirees!

Lilly Pulitzer Coat, Size 8- SOLD

I am listing this coat for a dear friend as it no longer fits her. This coat is a very hard to find item that adds a bit of pizazz to even the most basic of outfits. Mother and Cassie actually both own this same jacket and is always complimented when wearing it...if only it were my size!

Shoulder to Shoulder: 13", Underarm to underarm: 16", Length: 21"

This top is 100% silk and a very flattering fit. I love the cowl neck and the fun print, but sadly it is too short for my long torso.

The Calypso wrap dresses are perfect for work and fun. You can wrap them the traditional way or also try the signature Calypso wrap for something more fun. This dress is 100% silk and the crinkle look makes it easy to wear and care for. A wonderful addition to any closet and this color can be worn year round!

*Please note the measurements. I have never been a size zero, but since this is a wrap dress you have some wiggle room. I can wear these dresses in 0, XS and S without an issue.

Michael Kors Driving Shoes in Black, Size 9.5 -SOLD

These loafers have only been worn a handful of times in London. Perfect shoes for a lazy day of errands or to keep in your car for, well, driving! Te lush black leather can be worn year round.

This fun, silk dress is the same as the above description. However, it is priced lower as it has two tiny spots on it. The spots cannot be seen when the dressed is wrapped traditionally or the Calypso way. Sold as is.

Winner!

What a fun giveaway! I simply adore the new 2010-2011 Lilly agendas and can see you all do too! The bright colors, fun prints and amount of calendar room make them the must have during back-to-school season I think.
