Ooh La La, Lilly Sale!

Last week, I blogged about the incredible Rue La La. Things are about to get a whole lot better, because this week, on Wednesday, August 4th, there will be a Lilly Pulitzer sale on Rue La La. For me, this gets even better. When the Kaya dress came out, I instantly fell in love with it and knew that I just simply had to have it. Everything about this dress is so classy and perfect for me. I love the cut, the neckline, the print, and the beading at the top.

I have always thought that this would be the perfect dress to wear to a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner. Unfortunately, I jumped on the ball a little too late on this one. When I finally went to go buy it at Bloomingdale's, I discovered that the size I thought I was was actually about 1-2 sizes too big on me, and the store did not have it in sizes that would work for me. So imagine my excitement when I saw the preview for the Rue La La Lilly sale and discovered that it looks like this very dress will be at the sale. My fingers are crossed that they have it in a size 4 or 6, and I am poised and ready to go for 5pm German time on Wednesday. I'm hoping that I really can wear it to my bridal shower in March!

For this week still, you can get a $10 credit to use on anything at Rue La La simply for signing up to be a member. If you are not a member yet, click here to join.

Sharing the La La

For those of you who don't already know, Rue La La is a fabulous invitation-only sample sale site. The sales usually last for 1-3 days and there is always a wide variety of brands/products available.  TLS and I are both big fans of the site and in the past have bought 2 Lilly Pulitzer polos, a set of Barbara Barry glasses for our house, a Mariposa vegetable dish, a Chicago Cubs sweatshirt for him, and some massage gift certificates for me. Rue La La has also had brands like David Yurman, Frette, Vineyard Vines, Honora Pearls, and Vera Bradley in the past. Pretty fabulous.

The fabulousity, my friends, does not end there. For the next two weeks, you can get a $10 credit to spend on anything your little heart desires from Rue La La simply for signing up! If you would like to join Rue La La, here is your personal invitation.

Lilly Pulitzer on Rue La La

If you are not yet familiar with Rue La La, it is a private sample sale site where companies hold sample sales for 48-72 hours at a time. The sales all start at 11am EST and are first come, first served. Tomorrow, there is a Lilly Pulitzer sample sale on Rue La La. As Murphy's Law would have it, tomorrow I will be spending all day out with my wedding planner looking at ceremony and reception sites, the first appointment being at 11am. I have TLS standing by on Lilly duty, in case something that I simply cannot live without comes on. The last time Lilly had a sale, I logged on late from Paris but still managed to score a great pink and green dress and a pink cardigan. I am hoping to at least be able to stock up on a few more Lilly polos tomorrow before the big move! You must be a member to access the sale. If you are not yet a member, you can click here to join. Happy shopping.

Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?

Rue La La is having a Shreve, Crump, & Low sale now. The prices go as high $70,000 (yes, that price is in USD). I understand that these are expensive, quality pieces that they are selling, but are people really ok with spending that much money on a piece of jewelry off the internet without seeing it in person first? Also, how many people just happen to have a spending limit that high on their credit cards? And what if you get the jewelry in the mail and you don't like it, are you just stuck with 70 grand in online credit?

Is now open at Rue La La. Your wallets have been warned. Ladies, start your credit cards! If you are not a Rue La La member, email me if you'd like an invitation.

yet another motivating reason for me to work out

Rue La La is having another Lilly Pulitzer sample sale on May 1st. Perfect for my upcoming vacation and maybe I can find something cute to wear when TLS comes to visit. He really likes me in black, so nothing will say "welcome to New York" quite like head-to-toe pink and green. I know he'll appreciate that.

Email me if you want an invite to Rue La La. I can't wait for the sale. Last time, I scooped up a polo shirt, and am hoping to get a few more.
