Bull in a Lilly Shop

I was a very bad girl yesterday. 

But how could I be good when:

1) birthday money was practically burning a hole in my pocket, and 

2) the Lilly store in Southpark was practically beckoning me to enter?

The short answer: I couldn't.  

 They politely let me snap some pictures of the gorgeous store on my phone (perhaps because it was clad in a Lilly cover?). Check it out:

If only my kitchen cabinets looked like this...

Yum. How much longer until the Phi Mu print is out?

I tried to steal this couch, but didn't get very far.

Just gimme.

I was there for a purpose (other than drooling all over myself): buying a dress for my cousin's (Royar's brother) upcoming graduation from Hampden-Sydney.

The staff was incredibly kind to me as I paraded around the store, asking them questions like "Is this too casual for a graduation party/outdoor fete/all around debauchery?" (Their answer: No.) 

I walked away with the Somerset dress in this print:

Somerset dress in Worth Blue May Flowers $108.00

I haven't quite mastered the hands on hips aloof look yet, but I'm working on it. 

And, for my vegan travels, a roomy cooler (bottle opener and corkscrew included):

Insulated Cooler $32.00

However, you know you have (financial) issues when you go to pull out your wallet at said Lilly store, and two Lilly koozies fall out of your purse. Woops.

Isn't the first step to recovery admitting you have a problem?

I'm in Charleston for the last leg of my Spring Break...hope you are relaxed and happy wherever you are. Happy Friday, ya'll!
