Favorite Pandora Stations

I have several Pandora stations that I listen to depending on what I am doing and my mood. I like to listen to Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan and Today's Country radio when I am cleaning, working out or just want something fun to listen to. I like to listen to The Fray and Frank Sinatra radio when I need to relax. I also listen to Jazz and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Radio when I am working on homework or studying.

How to Save on Lilly Pulitzer

Last week I posted about how to save at J. Crew, this week I am sharing my tips on how to save on Lilly Pulitzer. Saving money and Lilly Pulitzer are usually not used in the same sentence. Lilly is a preppy girl essential and these are my tips on how to get the most Lilly for less. 

Shop Lilly Pulitzer Sales

Yes, Lilly Pulitzer does have sales, but only twice a year. Twice a year lillypulitzer.com is loaded with TONS of markdowns. These twice yearly sales are called the after party sale. You can sign up for Lilly emails here to get sale alerts. 

Shop Lilly Pulitzer Gift With Purchase Events

Lilly has promotions every few months were you receive a gift with purchase. Some gifts are with any purchase, others you need to spend a certain amount. These types of promotions are usually offered in store and online. Below is one of my recent Lilly purchases from a few weeks ago. I made this purchase during a gift with purchase event. I got a free shell key chain and a scarf! The scarf was only offered with any purchase for an hour. The retail price on it was $98 score!

Shop Lilly at Other Stores

Many other stores carry Lilly Pulitzer such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and The Pink Pelican. Unlike the Lilly stores, these stores often put Lilly items on sale. I love this dress that is on sale at Nordstrom’s currently for 40% off! Local boutiques in your area might also carry Lilly, so it is worth checking out.

Buy Classic Lilly Pieces

I think Lilly is a classic in the preppy world. However, I try to steer clear of more “trendy” Lilly pieces such as a two piece dress and other similar items that might go out of style in a few seasons. I like to stick to classic cut shorts, shift dresses and neutral tops. When I shop Lilly I like to think to myself “can I wear this several seasons from now”?  

Opt for Lilly Accessories Instead of Clothing

If you are a Lilly Pulitzer lover, but cringe at the price tag on most of the cloths opt for accessories instead. Lilly Pulitzer has some very cute drink tumblers, iphone cases, wristlets, and scarfs that add a pop of Lilly to your outfit and give you your Lilly fix, with out a the huge price sticker.

P.S. The Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection will be in stores and online in less than 24 hours! This is another great opportunity to get Lilly for less and in exclusive prints. 

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I am celebrating my 20th birthday! It is amazing how fast 20 years go by. I love celebrating friends and family members birthday days let alone my own. Spending time with people I love on my birthday and on their birthday's always reminds me of what life is really about. 

How do you celebrate your birthday?

How to Save at J. Crew

J. Crew is an essential for individuals with a classic or preppy style, but sometimes their prices can be on the more  expensive side, especially on a college student budget. I put together a list of how I save money when I shop at J. Crew. 

1. Use the college student/teacher discount

J. Crew offers a 15% off discount for all college students and teachers. All you half to do is show your college or teacher ID at checkout at J. Crew stores and J. Crew factory stores. You can use this discount on regular and sale price items. This is my favorite way to save because it is an instant sale. 

2. Subscribe to J. Crew and J. Crew Factory emails 

Subscribing to emails is the best way to find out when sales are happening in store and online. J crew often has sales online for a certain percentage off your purchase. I often like to wait to make a purchase until these type of sales. I find that they happen on average once a month. Watching your email is the best way to watch for sales.

3. Be patient- almost everything goes on “sale markdown”

Almost everything will go on sale at J.Crew unless it is a hot item. The sale room is my favorite part of J. Crew stores. You can find some incredible deals. This is where they keep all the items that have been marked down. Often an extra discount is offered on top of the markdown. 

4. Shop J. Crew Factory

J. Crew Factory often has very similar items to popular J. Crew store items. My favorites are the five strand pearl necklace and the classic school boy blazer. The five stand pearl necklace can be  found at the J. Crew store here and discounted at factory here. I also like the factory keating boy blazer here which is very similar to the schoolboy blazer at the main J. Crew store here. 

Happy Shopping!
