Fashion Friday: Rue La La Success!

July 2, 2010
Lilly Pulitzer “Lilly of the Valley” Duvet Set

I was sitting by the computer on Tuesday, sacrificing sweet beach time, to order my daughters their matching bedroom sets on Rue La La.  Garnet Hill carries a Lilly Pulitzer line and their markdowns didn’t disappoint.  I figured up what I ended up saving, by getting my bedding from Rue La La’s sale, and I saved roughly $200.

Although my daughters won’t use the bedding right away, they’re still in separate rooms, but when they move in together, they’ll have the cutest bedding to start the room off right.  I also figured it would be a great base to go off of, to decorate the rest of their room.  I’m already imagining white furniture, light green walls, light green monogrammed sheets, and a frilly, white bed skirt.  Can’t go wrong with pretty, preppy, pink and green.

Lilly Pulitzer “Foxgloves” Shower Curtain

I also got this great shower curtain for our guest bathroom too.  We had a little accident with our last shower curtain, but now finding this item resolved the issue.  I had to get the “okay” from the hubs, fearing that he would think it was a little too girlie, but he actually liked it.  He also added that we needed to re-paint the bathroom anyway.  I’m thinking a pretty green.  I’d love to do a pink, but not for a guest bathroom I’m afraid.  If it was just mine, then definitely.

The Lilly Daphne dress didn’t fit as well as I thought it would, so I’ve decided to list it on Ebay.  Check it out if you’re interested, it’s a size 8.  Click here.

Hope everyone has a great Fourth of July weekend!  Stay safe.  I say this because my dad is a pyro, and a couple of years ago he blew up a dock at the lake.  He put a mortar upside down in the stand.  Oops!  We all laughed, and still remember it to this day.  Thankfully no one was injured in this incident.  A surgeon enjoying playing with fire?  Way to go, Daddy.  We could still use the dock afterward, except it had a permanent, huge black soot stain that covered the entire dock.  Needless to say, this year we’re going to WATCH someone else, a professional, shoot off fireworks.

These photos are from last year’s 4th!

An awe-inspiring display!
Happy Early 4th to You!

  6. Great finds yesterday. Your daughters' room is going to look darling. Thumbs up for the shower curtain, too. The colors are wonderful.

    Love the fourth pictures. The first one of "W" crawling is precious (I had to chuckle a little in regards to your dad's fireworks explosion. We've had a few ourselves over the years.).

    I hope you have a great holiday weekend. 🙂

  7. What a gorgeous family!! And the little one? Precious! Where does the time go?? Have a HAPPY 4th this year! Oh, and don't forget to take some pics to show us next week 😉

  8. The bedding is adorable! I will be perfect for a your girls' rooms. Love the shower curtain too. It reminds me of our guest bathroom (and I'm posting pics of it while I'll be gone next week). Have fun for the Fourth! I'm rarely in red, white, and blue! I love your little ones dress! I totally agree with the stay safe!

  13. LOVING your new Lilly home decor! And those picturs from the 4th are adorable – hope this year is just a fabulous for you. Happy July 4th weekend! XO

  15. LOVE the bedspreads! Please tell me you're going to have those two cute girls in twin beds? If BabyGirl never has a baby sister I will still make her have twin beds in her "big girl" room. I just love the way your room is sounding!

  18. Major score on the bedding! It brings back memories of my old pink room that I just transformed for Little Boy Blue. I love pink and white together (and of course green). Have fun on the rest of your trip.

  20. Ashley,

    Isn't Rue La La the best?! You have to share pictures of the purchase when they arrive. Have a great 4th! It looks like last year was a blast.

  28. Love Rue La La, you got a fantastic deal! I thought of you when I saw the email announcing the Lilly sale. 🙂 Hope you all have a WONDERFUL holiday weekend!

  33. Those little girls will sleep well in that sweet bedroom. I loved your family pictures. They'll become cherished memories in years to come. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary

  34. Oh, Lilly bedding is the best! And your daughter is too cute in her patriotic little outfit! Have a great weekend- xx

  35. How cute are y'all?! Love little W's 4th outfit…too cute!

    I've heard of Rue La La but never ordered! That bedding is perfect for your future lil' Lilly Lovers. I'm sure they'll take after their mommy and be obsessed with all things Lilly.

    Speaking of Lilly…that's the exact dress I was going to get for GG's party, but at the last minute found another on sale! Too funny!

  38. I saw the Lilly Bedding and was dying to buy some, but alas I have three boys and none of them would have been down with that. I did score a couple stationary sets for myself so it wasn't a total loss. 😉
