Lilly Pulitzer's Endless Summer Sale

Most of y'all already know, but today is Lilly Pulitzer's annual summer sale! To be honest, I didn't even look in the morning- the site always crashes. But when I got home from school today, I ordered the dress I've loved forever!

It was an amazing deal and I cannot wait for it come in!
What did y'all find in this fabulous sale?

Caroline

Also, I have not been posting that much lately- I'm so sorry. It's been a combination of writer's block and being extremely busy.

My Lilly Pulitzer Agenda

Happy August! Since today is the first day to officially use your Lilly agenda, I wanted to share which one I got!



I decided on the Navy Tusk in Sun! It's just such a fun print, but it wouldn't pick complete without a monogram! I ordered mine from this Etsy shop.

Caroline
