Is it sad that the UPS man knows me by name? Yea I though so…

Anyways today was a fabulous mail day at the PreppyHouse! Not only did my stock of RueLaLa Lilly goodies arrive but so did a personalized weekly calendar I recently ordered! So many packages on our front stoop.

Let’s start with my haul from last weeks Lilly sale on RueLaLa. The site was being a tad glitchy when the sale first opened at 11am, but that is probably because all of the Lilly lovers took over and almost crashed the site! I was able to get a few great deals and bought everything with the “buy it now” feature so I wouldn’t miss out! There was tons of Summer and Spring  items from last year, and a ton of choices if you were looking for bathing suits or sunglasses. I was THISCLOSE to getting new sunglasses but I don’t really need any. <–Such self-restraint! Anyhow I ended up with four fabulous items!

First was the Betsey Dress in Hotty Pink Twirlers. This dress has a fabulous detachable halter tie so it can be worn two different ways, and pieces that have multiple purposes are my absolute favorite! I was lusting after this style dress for a while and even picked it in my top 5 from the Summer 2011 line. At $79.90 I will get my moneys worth out of this one!

Next up was the Avery skirt in one of my all time favorite prints, Blue Worth Docksider! I am a bit obsessed with any and all skirt that hits at the waist, I find them to be incredibly flattering. Pair that with the nautical sailboat print of the Docksider and this PreppyHouseWife is excited! It was a steal at only $39.90!

My next item was a fan favorite at Lilly and one of those pieces you can’t have in too many colors. The Elsa top! Most seasons this top is released in different colors, fabrics, and prints, and they are always a good buy. The Elsa Tissue top in pima cotton was available on the sale in a few colors and I swooped it up in Shorely Blue and my only regret is that at $39.90 I didn’t buy it in all the colors they had available. I can’t wait to pair this with some skinny jeans and my resort chic wedges this weekend! Perfect spring outfit!

Last, but not least, I got a great deal and picked up the Amy top in Classic White Had Me a Blast as a last-minute impulse purchase for only $29.90. Score! A perfect summer top! Now I just need the weather in Connecticut to cooperate so I can wear a strapless top! Paired with a Katia wrap however I might be able to make it work!

Overall such a good haul from RueLaLa. I am extremely happy with my purchases! In addition to having multiple packages from RueLaLa I also got a fabulous package from Milo Paper  with our new personalized family calendar. M was asking me to get a family calendar (yes I was shocked by this too) so we could be more organized and plan out things like Reese’s vet appointments. That very day I found a great deal on OneKingsLane.com for this personalized family calendar for half price!

There are 50 tear off pages, which each holds a week, so we will be able to utilize this all year. I am planning on adding magnetic strips to the back of it so it can be displayed on our fridge. I love it and I think it will come in handy with keeping out family organized. Not to mention it is personalized so you know I was ALL over that.

Did anyone else grab any great deals this week? I want to hear about them!
