Lilly P… I’m the newest Fan & 1st Give-Away!!

To think only a couple of months ago I had no idea what a Lilly dress was or who Lilly Pulitzer was. I was soon informed, the reason I had not heard of Lilly was that it was only sold in the USA. After a long pause the bearer of this news said “but they have a website and deliver to Canada!” Well that’s all I needed to hear to be on my way to ordering my 1st Lilly dress.

The choices were overwhelming and once again my BlogFriends came through – by helping me to choose my 1st Lilly dress, to see post click here. To see what dress became my 1st Lilly dress click here.

After receiving and wearing my Lilly dress, I knew I was in trouble, not only did it fit great it, was so comfortable. Well today I received my 2ND Lilly dress and after trying it on and asking Mr. G what he thought – his response “It’s a great dress, it looks great and you could wear it up north, when we go south or out to dinner – its casual to wear but still looks elegant”. Well ladies if I wasn’t hooked before – after that statement I instantly turned into a Lilly for life fan!

As many of you know I'm working on creatig a new life post accident and re-inventing me. Part of this re-invention is updating my wardrobe from career focused to smart casual -Lilly represents this elegantly! I choose the Stephanie Shift ~with Koi. Japanese associate koi with perseverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals, so I thought how appropriate to kick -off my re-invention.

Since, my wonderful BlogFriends have brought so much excitement into my struggling wardrobe image by introducing me to Lilly, I thought it was only appropriate that my First Give-Away be a Lilly gift. 

With everyone leading such busy lives and always sharing great finds, recipes and tips for everything one could possibly need –
A Mini Lilly Agenda & Note book, should keep you well organized!!!

    I love your new LillyP dress! The koi, the colors = fantastic. I was browsing the shop online a few days ago and saw a lovely white dress I fell in love with. Since, much to my dismay, summer is almost at its end, I did not get it.

    What a great giveaway! I love the Mini Lilly Agenda & Notebook. You know I am a very happy follower!

    Believe it or not, I've never had a Lilly dress either. The one you pictures is absolutely gorgeous and makes me want to have it myself. It looks soooo comfortable and can be casual or dressed up. Good choice.

    I'm new to your blog and have just become a follower a day or so ago.

    You mentioned an accident. I'm not sure what happened, but will look back over your blog soon to "catch up". I'm so glad you visited me so I could find you.

    Hugs,

    Hello, I joined your blog before realising this could make me a likely candidate for this lovely giveaway. I read about what you've been through and I must say you are such a courageous person. I passed through a hard health situation some time ago too, and I also found a new 'me' waiting round the corner. Every so often I remind myself of what I went through and what I learnt just so I keep grounded. Anyway, you are on my blog too now and hope that by putting you there, others will read what you write and also be inspired to delve deeper. Take care
