Hey!!! I’m so excited to announce that this Sunday, Favors and Festivities will be having its first giveaway! In the mad rush of adding things to my cart and checking out ASAP, I accidentally ordered an extra Lilly Pulitzer for Target My Fans shift dress. It was a clicking frenzy – I wasn’t even looking at my total amount. So starting Sunday, you can enter for your chance to win a Lilly Pulitzer for Target My Fans Shift Dress (sz 4)…
It’s been sixteen hours since Lilly for Pulitzer for Target has been released and the current status quo is: Ebay is filled with marked-up shift dresses, some as high as $150! Several items have 10+ bidders vying for them, and for the lucky merchant, eager shoppers have doubled/tripled the asking price. Lilly for Target officially went live at 3 am, but the overwhelming amount of traffic crashed the site not too long after Stores were sold out within minutes of opening, which…
Happy Monday! I hope everyone is having a great start to their week. Spring has finally hit New England and it seems like everyone is coming out from their hidey-holes and getting their Vitamin D fix. I am so overjoyed that it’s Monday. Both my room-mate and my boyfriend were away this past weekend and as I don’t have anything due till three weeks from now, I literally puttered around the apt except for a brief outing to the gym.…
For the first time in what’s felt like months, the sun shone, no snow fell, and I was happy to brave a slight chill just to wear a cute dress. I did everything from trying out a new coffee shop, dropping off clothes at the consignment shop, and then treating myself to some new Bobbi Brown makeup and Essie nail polish. Best part, I had absolutely no shopper’s remorse after my Spring-y adventure. Fast forward a day – overjoyed at myself at…
There are definitely no signs of spring anywhere except the mall, where the racks are abundant with bright colors and floral patterns. At least it’s reflected somewhere that we’ve been out of a winter for a whole week, because Mother Nature sure hasn’t caught up. J. Crew is selling a decadently glamorous navy blue + pink posey necklace that leaves me wanting nothing more than to be sipping iced coffee in a floaty dress outside. We couldn’t wait any longer…
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the 90’s are making a comeback? Flares, jean jackets, and chunky shoes – it’s almost like the Spice girls have been stocking the shelves themselves. There’s only a few pieces of clothes still in my closet from the 90’s, all of which are too small to wear now but I’ve kept for sentimental value. I have a shiny blue pair of Limited Too pants hanging next to an old prom dress,…
“Everything is awesome!! Everything is awesome when you’re part of a team!!” – Does anybody else have the LEGO movie theme song stuck in their head? If not, you probably will now. Ever since I watched the Oscars on Sunday, I have not been able to get those dratted two lines out of my head. I’ve been humming it to myself in the shower, as I walk through the halls, and even as I tried to get my car to start…
After my first Valentine’s day, overdone with a sparkly pink basket filled with chocolates and an embarrassing balloon that I kept stuffed in my locker all day, I quickly lost the desire for cheesy gifts. Back then, it was fun to carry around a sparkly pink basket, a visible sign that someone liked me, but as the need for that kind of validation diminishes outside of high school, my yearning for blatant Valentine’s Day gifts also dwindled. Even though I’m against the cheesy gifts,…
Holiday Office Party by favorsandfestivities Ever since one of my friends gave me a gift that was absolutely not to my taste, and I upset him by not being able to express the proper enthusiasm, I’ve been scared that I’ll disappoint someone when I open their present. I shouldn’t have worried this Christmas, as it was full of warm flannel shirts and a monogrammed laptop sleeve, both of which are things I wanted. My roommate was worried that I wouldn’t like…
Caitlyn & Ben’s Wedding Outfit by favorsandfestivities Officially three weeks after Caitlyn’s Last Fling Before the Ring, Ben put a ring on her!! They were married on a rainy fall day in the BEAUTIFUL Princeton University chapel before an unforgettable reception at Prospect House. The day was perfect in every way, starting with rain and ending with a sunny afternoon to allow for pictures under the fall foliage. As I already knew what Caitlyn’s dress looked like, the only other outfit I…
In less than two weeks time, my favorite Brit will be turning 30!! To celebrate, my brother is planning an amazing birthday celebration in NYC, involving a show at Caroline’s comedy club, dinner at Carmine’s, and ending with a viewing of the tree. Personally I wonder if something amazing might happen, but given my terrible secret-keeping ability I’d probably be the last to know. A 30th Birthday Outfit by favorsandfestivities Every great event/occasion warrants a new outfit, or at least some wishful…
