Lilly Pulitzer’s Endless Summer Sale
lillypulitzer.com
If you’re looking for a way to spend some of the cash you’ve earned at a summer job this summer, I definitely have the place for you. If you’re a fan of Lilly Pulitzer on Facebook, you might have seen that she managed to break the internet with the most amazing of amazing sales. The Endless Summer Sale.
And it’s not just any 20% off seasonal sale…I’m talking dresses from $40-$70 and skirts in the $20’s. Hence, you can understand why so many Lilly-lovers flocked to and crashed her site yesterday morning.
The good news (besides the ridiculously affordable prices!!) is that shipping is…wait for it…free, and there is an absolutely huge selection with hundreds of items in Lilly’s signature colorful prints. Basically, there’s no excuse not to shop. The sale continues today, and runs till midnight EST on August 24. So get shopping!
I’ve put together some of my favorite picks from the sale below!
The Aleesa Dress, $64, in “Hotty Pink A Think Called Love” Fun fact–I got a dress in this print except in girls sizes..if you’re short like me, I definitely suggest checking out the Lilly “minnies”!
The Camie Dress, $58, in “You Gotta Regatta”
Callie Skirt, $24, in “Resort White Oh Buoy” (I totally got this!!!)
Buttercup Short, $39, in “Resort White Mini Gardens By The Sea” (my favorite print this season!!)
My picks don’t even scratch the surface of all the amazing finds at the Endless Summer Sale! I definitely reccommend taking a minute to check it out. Your closet (and wallet) will thank you!!

End of Summer Rules.
As another Labor Day is right on the horizon, Summer is yet again drawing to a close. For many people this means a new school year, new classes, and new friends. However along with all of that comes the old famous rule: no white after Labor Day. This means that we must get all of our use out of our cute white summer sundresses, white jeans, and white shoes in the next three weeks before they go back into the closet for another year. Here are a couple of cute looks to get one more use out of your favorite white pieces of clothing or shoes. I’m also curious do you wear white after Labor Day or do you stick to the rule?

London Calling
I’ve been watching the Olympics basically non-stop since the Opening Ceremonies this past Friday. Judging by my Twitter and Facebook feeds, I’m not alone in that. I’ve been loving every moment and learning new things about a bunch of different sports. However, the thing I’ve been having the most fun with is cheering on Team USA.
Preppy retailers have also been cheering on the Americans over in London and are offering all sorts of Olympic garb. Here are some of my favorites!
But first of all, can we talk about this picture of Ryan Lochte on the Ralph Lauren home page?! SWOOOON. God bless America!
Ralph Lauren is the official outfitter of the United States Olympians, so of course he’s sending them across the pond in preppy splendor. There are some adorable options available on his website if you really want to show your USA pride:
Left to right: Team USA Slim Polo Dress, Team USA London T-Shirt Dress, Team USA Duffle, Team USA Ceremony Dress
Alex and Ani, one of my new favorite jewelry designers, has also made a collection of bracelets for Team USA. My mom actually got one in the mail today from my aunt!
Top row: USA Iconic Set of 3 – Russian Silver, Tower Bridge Expandable Wire Bangle – Russian Silver, USA Set of 5 – Russian Gold
Bottom row: Team USA Shield Expandable Wire Bangle – Russian Gold, Team USA Shield Set of 3 – Russian Gold
To see Alex and Ani’s complete Team USA line, click here! I’m also loving the USA ones in red, white, and blue enamel!
Also…have you seen the video of the USA swim team singing and dancing to “Call Me Maybe” yet?? It’s awesome! Seeing our Olympians having so much fun makes me want to root for them even more! Also…I’m kind of obsessed with Missy Franklin, I just think she’s adorable!
Have any of you been geeing out over the Olympics as much as I have? Which events are your favorites? Leave it in the comments!
Go USA! xoxo, Karoline
