I don't know about you, but I love wearing white in the spring and summer months; it makes my accent jewelry pop and shows of any trace of a tan I can possibly obtain. However, one concern I always have when I wear light colors is how my teeth look - let's be real, no one ever found dull, tarnished teeth cute. Sometimes the right lipstick shade can do wonders but other times you need the power of a whitening system.

For years I used the same product and for years I had tooth sensitivity after whitening but continued doing it because I loved the way my smile looked. I mean, pain is beauty, right?

Then I stumbled across Smile Brilliant and immediately realized there was no need to be putting myself through the pain of whitening my teeth anymore.

Let's be real: walking into a drug store and staring at the wall of lipsticks is OVERWHELMING. There are so many colors, so many brands and so many promises for the "best all-day wear" which does nothing but raise my blood pressure. From glosses to stains, every company seems to have a miracle formula and is willing to do whatever it takes to make a sale and end up at the bottom of the purse.

Then I tried LipSense and was absolutely blown away by the quality. While this lip product can only be bought through a consultant, it truly lived up to all the hype I had previously heard from loyal users. They had claimed the colors were vibrant, your lips were left feeling moisturized and best of all: the color would last for over 12 hours. 

Nothing screams "Happy New Year" like Christmas clearance, the sad moment at your local Starbucks when they say "We're out of gingerbread syrup" and the January Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale.

Ladies (and gents because hello to those new dapper ties) the event is here and it's time to dust off your credit card and get cozy for those wait times. This sale generally is not as popular as the August After Party Sale - simply because most of the country is bundled under blankets and not as tuned into resort wear - but that does't mean the sale isn't just as jam-packed with beautiful pieces. 

It's finally here! The After Party Sale has arrived and I truly could not be more excited. If you're anything like me, you may have been dreaming about the sale and having a hard time sleeping last night. No? That was just me? Zero shame.... I jumped on the sale as soon as possible and couldn't wait to see what was going to be available. Obviously, Lilly does not disappoint and I couldn't have been more thrilled. As promised, I've pulled my favorite pieces from the sale and linked them here for you to browse.

Ladies, hold onto your credit cards because the Lilly Pulitzer After-Party Sale is almost upon us! Twice a year Lilly Pulitzer rolls out an incredible blow-out sale and this year will be no different. Starting on Monday, 8/28 and lasting until Wednesday, 8/30 expect major sales, impressive shopping hauls, free ground shipping for all orders and lots of new pieces to add to your wardrobe. Freaking out yet? No worries! Like any major shopping event, if armed with a strategy, you'll be good to go. So buckle up: let's talk business.
