Sadly, Camilla Bradley is shutting her Newport last set of CKB doors. I'm drowning my sorrows in a pint of Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Chunk. Weeell, more precisely, just the chocolate chunks dug outta Babe's pint of Mint Chocolate Chunk. And, I'm convincing myself that Camilla has a ski line up her debut sleeve. Time shall tell...
To make up for the bad news, I'm rolling out just one more li'l trivia contest. This time, theee very first person to correctly guess BOTH of my favorite flowers will walk away with the much coveted Meg Carter big pearl, little lapis studs. Everyone...friends, family, awake and advantaged West Coasters...is eligible. Sooo, let the game begin! Kindness of the generous Meg Carter for offering such a fabulous giveaway treat. Once again, I will have to sit on my own hands come midnight. The best I can hope for is that a sister or niece will pull through on this one and I can at the very least borrow the studs...XXOO
Hydrangea and beach roses...
ReplyDeleteHydrangea and peonies! xx
ReplyDeleteHmmmph. I am not exactly a West Coaster, but I did grow up in California. Anyway I will politely refrain from this contest, mainly because I already own those fabbo earrings. Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. I remember walking by her first store all the time and was so impressed by the business she had created.
ReplyDeleteI'm a semi-new follower so here is my guess: hydrangeas & peonies. Well, those are my favs at least :)
Allie, l am a longtime reader and first time poster to your blog. You are so funny. You must write a book. Now as I recall, green is your favorite color. Your other favorite color is blue. I hope that is right. Those earings are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSad day indeed.
ReplyDeleteWould the colors be pink and green or navy and white?

Pass the linen hankie, please, on the left hand side.
ReplyDeleteroses and lilies?
ReplyDeleteHydrangea and peonies? Or is it lillies too?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure re your favorite flowers, but I'll guess at hydrangeas. They always make me smile and I'm so glad to see them every summer.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas and Peonies??

I had a premonition that my mini me Erin from Let the Tide Pull Your Dreams Ashore would win and I was indeed correct! And, by mini me I mean, très younger version with the exact same taste. Congratulations Erin. Big week for you with the Washington Post pic of you and Lisa Birnbach annnd free Meg Carter loot. Got any of that good karma to spare? XXOO
ReplyDeleteps...good job bff Kimba for also batting 1000 in the trivia this week. You are not being held accountable for not being the early enough bird.
hydrangeas and peonies - I knew it - and what was I thinking when I was still playing color wars?
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought this week couldn’t get any better!!! I am going to thank Lisa Birnbach for the win because I was up uber later doing a “True Prep” post when I saw SIAV hit the dashboard! It is sooo flattering to be called a mini Alice...we do share many loves and let’s face it the girl has great taste and a superior wit!!! xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner...Allie, those are my favorite flowers too. No sadness here about not winning, since I already own these great earrings!
ReplyDeletePeonies and Hydrangeas!
ReplyDeleteJenny D
If we both like green, I could attempt to apply logic and guess that your favorite flowers are zinnias and gardenias.
ReplyDeleteVery sad about CKB closing....

i was so sad to get that news as well, but having known Camilla for quite some time, im sort of not surprised, it seemed like things were slowing down... I hope we see her pop up again soon, though!
ReplyDeleteMy Guess?? Hydrangeas and Peonies!

ReplyDeleteYay Erin! You two have my favorite Blogs, so I should have known you were besties :)

ReplyDeleteAllie, you were the first person I thought of when I saw the farewell from CKB... I am so sad they are calling it quit for now.
ReplyDeleteHowever, what is that I hear? A sigh of relief from babe? One down babe but MANY more to go, I dont think Hermes is going out of business anytime soon :)
