This is the barometer I use each year to begin the mental count down til spring. Once the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hits the stands I believe it becomes socially acceptable to start building the incoming season's wardrobe...
And, although I have another week before the 2010 SI issue hits the stands, I got a smidgie false start this year when Lilly Pulitzer posted this waaay too inspirational pic on their Facebook page. Let the season begin!
This unofficial jump on my summer wish list has me lusting after the Whitney Poncho Engineered Print, which totally appeals to my inner Mrs. Roper...
All white bottoms on deck for the très 90's prep Roe One Shouldered Stripe Top...
And, the Nan Kemperish Mira Jumpsuit Printed...
Yup, this year bikinipalooza has been usurped by Ms. Lilly...Kindness of Elle MacPherson for having the magic ability to make the information Babe digested up until her appearance completely fly out of his pretty lil head...XXOO
I also love that striped top…the bow totally sells it! Have a wonderful weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm itching to wear spring and summer Lilly! Maybe I could play dress up at my house during the snowstorm. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI want a bikini in Dirty Shirley please! They are already sold out of smalls and mediums on the website. Hmmmppph.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, you just reminded me I need to get my butt to the gym!
ReplyDeleteGotta love Mrs. Roper!!! Cute choices!
ReplyDeleteDear Allie,
ReplyDeleteNan Kemperish totally describes the essence of the jumpsuit pictured. Well said. Thanks for sharing, Denise
we are going to be twinsies in the one-shoulder stripey top; it's so Ralph Lauren at it's most feminine, which I get a kick out of!

Hey Allie,
ReplyDeleteYou found that picture on the Lilly Facebook page? The girl on the far right was my regular babysitter for my entire childhood! I read your blog everyday and didn't expect to see a her here! very random. Anyway, you are very, very funny and I really love reading your blog
From,
The girl who ran into Maximinus at Old Town a few weeks ago, while you were sick with the swine flu.
p.s. i hope we all survive this crazy blizzard, was just on whole foods on wisconsin and it was mayhem to say the least...
Seriously hoping Mr. Z will bestow the Roe One Shoulder on me for my birthday...
ReplyDeleteAllie, the one-shoulder I can really see you in.
ReplyDeleteCan't even wait to try the jumpsuit on, fall in love with it, and adopt it into my closet!!
ReplyDeleteLet the countdown begin!
Okay, the strapless dress in the first photo and the jumpsuit are totally up my alley...love them! I'll have to visit Lilly soon!
ReplyDeleteI spotted a lilly tunic at tjmaxx yesterday, thanks for the validation to turn back and make the purchase bikini cover, multi purposed! :)
ReplyDeletepve
Striped AND a bow! That one shoulder top needs to be in my closet like now.
ReplyDeleteYou really provide a public service, rather like a wardrobe PSA. How else would one see this many yummy items gathered and displayed with the supporting logic explaining the timeline (aka countdown to summer)?
ReplyDeleteSmiles at you Miss Allie,
