Lilly Pulitzer New Arrivals

It goes without saying that summer is the official season of all things Lilly Pulitzer and Jack Rodgers. Would packing for a beach trip really be complete until one added at the very least one Lilly dress or bikini to the suitcase?

The Lilly print artist have really out done themselves with this spring and summer collection. I have to say I was a little curious to see what the prints and style would look like this year since Lilly Pulitzer herself is no longer present, but everything is oh just so Lilly with all the bright colors, cute prints, and traditional Lilly designs included in the collections.

Today is the release of some new arrivals plus you get a gift with purchase! There is definitely a dress I have been eyeing {surprise, surprise} and I might do some early gift shopping just so I can get the two adorable beach towels that are available in the gift with purchase special offer. Here are a few of my favorite new arrivals!
Cathy Shift Dress
Julianna Embroidered Tunic Dress
Annabelle Top

Gilmore Girls

Is it just me or is Gilmore Girls one of those shows that just never gets old? The first season of the Gilmore Girls premiered when I was in the eighth grade, and I have not grown tired of it yet. When I was in high school on Tuesday nights I would always take a break from doing homework/studying right at 7 o’clock on the dot so I could enjoy an hour of my favorite show. Of course my Gilmore Girl watching did not stop in college and my roommate teased me about it, in a good-natured way.

I have always loved the mother/daughter dynamic – Lorelei and Rory always seemed so in sync {minus a few shows here and there}. Besides they are both people you would want to be friends with in real life, if they actually existed . Both the characters are such fun, loveable people, with ambitions, who are always growing and evolving throughout the different seasons of the show. 

Have I mentioned the town of Stars Hallow yet? If I stumbled upon a small cozy town one day filled with quirky and eccentric characters that would be like the icing on the cake. If Stars Hallow was an actual place I would go visit!

 I just recently rediscovered while working out at the gym when I decided to watch something different than the Food Network. Confession: now when I have the time to workout during the week day I try to go to the gym at 10 or 11 just so I can watch the Gilmore Girls while I workout.

After watching a few shows, recently, one of the reasons I think I have enjoyed watching the Gilmore Girls so much over the years is because it was such a relatable for me. From the school uniform to all the high school homework to Rory’s love of reading to friendships evolving and changing, to going to college, to Rory showing up way too early to class, and more – I could relate to many elements of the show, as I am sure others could as well.

Who else out there loves the Gilmore Girls?

Dresses Under $200

Some people have a shoe or handbag obsession, but my vice is dresses… In my book there is no such thing as having too many dresses, especially in the summer.
I will admit a few weeks ago I changed out my winter/ transitional dresses and I got a little overly excited deciding if I should sort them by occasion, patterns, colors, etc. I decided to sort them by color, and it was no surprise that the number of blue and white dress by far out numbered the other colors.

Needless to say I have already broken down and bought a couple dresses for the summer. Since it is the season to wear dress I thought I would share a few of my favorite dresses that just happen to be under $200!

Here’s where to shop for my above top 6 dresses under $200. Click on the name of the item to be directed to the website.
