Lifeguard Press Goodies

Y'all know that I am a huge fan of Lifeguard Press, especially their Lilly Pulitzer line! I was recently sent some adorable Lilly for LP goodies, such as the miniature speaker and the highlighter/pen set. They're both perfect for college girls!

The speaker is really cute, and you just plug it into your iPod/iPhone/iWhatever...so easy. Just as a sidenote, it requires 2 AAA batteries (that aren't included), so don't forget them! It's really nice to have music playing in my dorm room, and this speaker makes it so much better!

I am an avid note taker, and I use highlighters like it's my job. Seriously. I love that LP has a highlighter with a pen on the other end! It's very convenient!

I love my new items from Lifeguard Press. Check them out and let me know what y'all think! What are y'alls favorite items from LP?

Also, another sidenote, I know I haven't been posting as regularly/as in depth as usual, but it's crazy here in Winston-Salem! If y'all want to know what's going on, just follow me on Twitter!

Have a lovely day!

Obsession: Lilly Pulitzer Wristlets

The wristlets from Lilly Pulitzer are a huge staple here at Wake Forest. They are the perfect size to carry your ID, money, keys, and cell phone! My friends use them to take to class, to go to lunch, and to go to parties. There are also a ton of cute patterns and prints to choose from!

Do y'all have a Lilly wristlet? Let me know!

Have a great day!!

Monogram Desktop Backgrounds!

Hi! Since y'all love my how-to for making Lilly Pulitzer binder covers, I'm going to show y'all how I make Lilly Pulitzer Monogrammed Desktop Backgrounds! Enjoy!

You technically don't have to use a Lilly print, but they're my favorites and they're super fun! So, download one from the Lilly Pulitzer website or from Google images and open it with Preview. 

Now, open Microsoft Powerpoint (but you can also use Photoshop). I downloaded a monogram font a while back from a free fonts website, so type your initials in three separate text boxes. Make the left and right initial in the monogram 200 pt., and the middle initial 300 pt. 

Next, move the text boxes so they look like a monogram! Also, choose the color for your monogram. 

Screen shot the monogram and a lot of the white area around the monogram. Open it in preview.

On preview, go to Select on the toolbar and select Elliptical Selection. 

Make a large circle around the monogram, then cut it. 

Here is the final monogram product! Copy the monogram.

Go back to the original Lilly print, and crop the print so it is rectangular. This is so it looks better as a desktop background. 

Paste the monogram on top of the print, and resize it any way you like!

Here is my new desktop background!

I hope these instructions were easy enough to follow! Have fun making new backgrounds!

Have a great day!

Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2012 Lookbook

Hokay...SUPER huge post! I found some super sneaky pictures of the NEW Lilly Pulitzer collection for Fall 2012! I hope y'all enjoy!

I'm OBSESSED with a capital O with the elephant print on the tank top shown above!

The middle dress is so pretty!

Looove the dress on the left!

Again, love the print on the shirt on the right! And the shirt!

That pink blazer is too cute!

Super cute dress on the left!

That middle dress. Oh my goodness gracious.

Cute tops for college!

Pretty dress on the left!

The shirt in the middle is adorable!

What do I think of the new Fall 2012 collection? I like it. Lilly has officially taken a different direction in their look, as well as target clients. There are a few dresses and shirts that I like from the line, and the some prints are pretty, but I'm not completely obsessed with the entire collection. Who knows, though? Things often look much different in person! 

What do y'all like from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall collection? Comment with y'alls opinions!

Have a great day!!
