How to After Party Sale like a Pro!

January 5, 2020

Hip Hip Rosé! It’s time for a Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale!

First of all, if you’re not already a Lilly shopper…I’m disappointed. But we can fix that. I thought it would be helpful to write a blog post laying out how the sale works for those not exactly used to it because this sale is very specific in how it is conducted.

On any normal day the Lilly Pulitzer website will not have sale items. The only Lilly products you can get on sale are either in person in Lilly stores or department stores/boutiques that carry the brand. If you’re like me and you live in a city that does not have a Lilly Pulitzer brick and mortar and your Dillard’s did you dirty and STOPPED CARRYING IT (let me calm down…) then you rely heavily on the After Party Sales to stock up on Lilly while you can!

Y’all I have loved Lilly Pulitzer since I can remember. In fact, those that know me best can tell you that the brand is my absolute favorite and it is also what I wear the most. I still have the very first Lilly dress that I bought and plan to put it on a dress form in my new home office when I get it all put together! So if you’re anything like me and you want to shop the After Party Sale like a pro, here is what you need to know!

The in-store sale actually started January 4 and carried into today, the 5th so this post is focusing on the online sale, which will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. ET January 6 (tomorrow) and will end at 11:59 p.m. on January 7. The best favor you can do for yourself is wake up and make sure you get your coffee brewed, your eyepatches on and your computer fired up and ready to go to the Lilly website at 8:00 a.m. sharp. There are always thousands of people doing this exact same thing and so you will likely be put in a queue behind the people that happened to get there before you. This means you have to have your browser up, do NOT ex out of it! Keep your browser open and stay in the queue or you will get kicked out and have to start all over. Once you’re in the queue the website will let you know how much time you have. I once woke up, got in the queue, went to have a coffee meeting with a client and then went back home to shop right in time to get out of the queue and into the sale.

Once you’re in, the most important thing to know is that anything you put in your cart is not saved. I have put seven things in my cart before and once I go to check out, four had already sold out. But, the other side is that if you rush yourself and check out to avoid having your items sell out on you, you will run a different risk. Once you check out, you’re kicked out of the sale and if you want back in you have to go back into the queue. So, definitely take your time to make sure you’re getting what you want. But if you see something you *absolutely have to have* then the recommendation would be to go ahead and check out!

(^^Me when someone tells me they’re not shopping the APS)

One final note: all After Party Sale sales are final and cannot be returned so keep that in mind as well! When in doubt, size up so you could at least get it altered to fit.

You might be asking yourself, “Should I call out of work for this sale?” And the answer is yes. Ok, fine, you probably are not asking yourself that. But uhh..have I ever called out of work to enjoy a nice cozy morning with a cup of coffee and the LP APS? Yep!

There ya have it, friends! Happy shopping!

XOXO, Thessali

These days I don’t do my hair and makeup all tha These days I don’t do my hair and makeup all that often because, ya know, I’m living that maternity leave life. So when I do, it must be documented. Especially when the outfit is this good. I got dressed yesterday and looked in the mirror and said to Adam, “This is an extremely on brand outfit for me.” 😂 We’ve got the bright colors, preppy vibe, gold Lilly P bag and it’s topped off with a pastel pink headband. In other words: I love it.

I can’t promise that this dress is still in stock but I do know that it’s frequently restocked!

What’s everyone up to this weekend??

She had no clue that just 3 weeks ago I was on the operating table being cut open in an unplanned c-section and let me tell you…I almost sobbed into my Caesar salad. You truly can never underestimate a moment of kindness shown to a stranger! 

On another note, this jumpsuit was a late night hospital buy from Amazon and okay hiiii I love it. Worth every penny. All linked on my LTK! Wearing size small for reference.

Saturdaying well with iced coffee, macarons and al Saturdaying well with iced coffee, macarons and all pink everything. This momma is thoroughly enjoying getting back into cute clothes and back out into the world. I’m two weeks postpartum and, while still recovering (shoutout to my other unplanned c-section mommas), I’m feeling back to normal more and more every day. A woman’s body is such a fierce and incredible thing! 

P.S - swipe to see my face when someone tells me some juicy gossip 😂

P.S.S - I ordered this Amazon jumpsuit while still in the hospital and I’m so glad I did, it’s perfect for postpartum comfort!

Today on DownintheHollow.com - I’ve shared our w Today on DownintheHollow.com - I’ve shared our whole birth story, start to finish. The good, the bad and the beautiful. I know you’re all wondering how it went since I was so vocal about training for unmedicated labor and this post shares the raw, honest truth. It was the longest, hardest 26 hours of my life. And I’d do it all over again for my sweet girl. Funny how the hardships of labor get so fuzzy in detail once you’re on the other side of it because the other side is just so sweet 💕
We got to do a newborn photoshoot with our 11 day We got to do a newborn photoshoot with our 11 day old peanut today and it was such a sentimental experience. I know all moms will feel me when I say this but it is truly the biggest honor of my life being my little girl’s momma. 

I won’t be posting the newborn session (I’m sure you’re all already sick of me posting pictures with emojis over her face as it is 😂) but wanted to share the outfit I wore. This dress is sold out at Target but I’ve linked my accessories and our car seat/stroller!

Celebrating our original due date with our first d Celebrating our original due date with our first dinner out as a family of three, finally getting those oysters I’ve been missing!

We are one week out from having our sweet baby and I’m embracing the postpartum recovery. I have quite a ways to go in terms of healing my body, but I decided to wear the dress, have dinner with the man I love, take pictures we can have of this moment and enjoy every second soaking up being a new momma. 

This dress is an Amazon find and I want it in every floral color way. So good!
