Before I say this, I have to state that I do love Lilly Pulitzer. I worked for them for years and it breaks my heart that I've yet to meet the Queen of the Jungle. BUT, I have to oust this New York Times article. It's a bunch of bull. Those "If This Dress Could Talk" tags were NOT written by previous owners while they owned the vintage garments. They were written by me in the stock room!
Does anyone else HATE it when they get stopped by randoms who want to sell some illegitimate salon package? I got stopped this morning by a man who said, "Now don't beat me up or anything" in the middle of his schtick. Do I look that scary? Their opener is always the same, "Excuse me ma'am, where do you get your hair done?" and I ain't buyin' it! Bumble & Bumble and yes I am completely faithful to them. So drop it.
It really, truly bothers me that One Tree Hill never bother to explain where Lucas and Peyton took off to. I don't care that it's fiction; I like to believe and still want an explanation.
Things are so wonderful right now, but it hit me today: I'm not having enough fun. Though I feel both unbelievably blessed and incredibly content, I'm I'm not having enough skip-on-the-sidewalk, dancing-'till-dawn moments. I really need to work on this. I'm 25 - I can afford to be a bit more careless. Because...
...Although I'm sure it doesn't seem like it, I actually DO have a life outside of JGIWC! And it's pretty crazy right now, so please be patient with me. I'm doing the best I can. :)

Just stopping in to say I ADORE your blog!! You are presh and while I've only read a few of your posts, your writing cracks me up and I always find myself relating to something you've said! I'm new to the world of blogging (AKA my first post was tonight!) But I just wanted to say a quick mazel on a lovely blog, from a fellow Jewish girl in (sometimes) Wasp's clothing :) xx
Thank you darlin'! Please send me your blog URL - I would love to read!
No way re: Lilly tags. I feel a little duped! They were lucky to get a writer as talented as you to do the honors... xo!

A life outside blogging?!?!?!
HOW DARE YOU! :)
We should plan a blind date and make sure it is filled with those skipping down the sidewalk up til dawn moments!
One Tree Hill frustrates me too!!! I don't mind the new characters this season but wtf. Lucas and Peyton didn't just disappear and yet they pretend that they did. I need closure!
hope you find your fun!
Ahh One Tree Hill has been driving me crazy since last season. Gossip Girl follows the same route.
They have to know when to end it.
Please do have your fun!It's still Tuesday,make it memorable even before the weekend comes :)
hey there -- hope things are settling down for you. i DO hope the writer for that NYT piece knew those tags were part of a marketing effort, geez! marketing writers get no credit. while you were helping to create the aspirational lifestyle of the dress, some hack mistakenly took it for actual fact. sorry that happened to your work! i guess the solice is you (indirectly) were mentioned in the piece! ;-)
Just found your blog. Lilly is my aunt and I am very sad that you never met her. You would love her and she would love you!
