Pink and Green Thursday: Summer Sweetness

Hi everyone!  Happy Pink and Green Thursday!

Hope it's been a great week so far, wherever you may be this week.  A huge thank you to all who participated in the fun last week, and a warm Southern welcome to the new followers!  As always, feel free to play along, grab the button from my sidebar, and let's see your favorite pinks and greens this week.  Link up below and meet some new pink & green friends!

This week's first pink and green spotlight goes to Lifeguard Press! 

For those who may not be familiar, Lifeguard Press produces the most darling gifts and accessories for Lilly Pulitzer, Jonathan Adler, and Susan Branch.  I've been using their darling Lilly paper products for parties for years, and love all my Lilly stationery products and office accessories!  The sweet people at Lifeguard Press contacted me and sent me some samples that I would love to share with you today.

Lilly Pulitzer Latte Da! Mug in Cabanarama Print

A perfect way to start the day with a little pep and prep in your step; these Latte Da! mugs come packaged in their own Lilly cabanas!  There are plenty of colors and patterns to choose from here. 

Printed on the handle, "Life, Lilly and the Pursuit of Happiness"

No need to giftwrap, the packaging is precious!  A perfect gift for a loved one, or just for yourself.

Lilly Pulitzer Picture Frame in Private Property Print

I have several Lilly photo frames in my office, and this print complements all my other preppy goodies perfectly!  Love the big pink blossoms.

Darling in pink, green and navy, a perfect 4x6 photo frame that is sure to add a splash of Palm Beach to any room!  See the whole collection here.

Every busy lady with a full social calendar needs little black book...if you're like me, instead of black, I'd prefer Lilly!  Call me old fashioned, but in the age of iPhones and Blackberries, as much as I love having numbers and calendars available at the touch of a button, I love having a hand written address book.

Lilly Pulitzer Address & Phone Book in Mee Ow Print

Perfectly preppy pink and green address tabs with a sweet pink grosgrain book mark!  Dates to remember pages are listed in the back by month; I've already filled in my birthdays and anniversaries, can't wait to fill in my addresses next!

Last but not least, whether signing autographs or writing a note to your sweetie, these pens are sure to impress!

Lilly Pulitzer Ink Pen in Via Mizner Patch

I am in love with my Lilly pens, they seriously make work days that much better for me!  I also love giving these pens as gifts, there are so many colors and patterns to choose from, you really can't go wrong!   See the whole collection here.

{I actually already own this pen, so I am going to give it away today! Just leave a comment below and I'll let random.org select a winner. Hooray for Lilly pens!!}

Make sure to check out Lifeguard Press for your next gift giving occasion, they even have Lilly wrapping paper and gift bags!  Perfect way to spread the pink and green sunshine!

My next favorite pink and green this week comes from my new friend, Chelsea Gwynne.  If you don't know Chelsea yet, you simply MUST go check her out.  I knew I loved her from the first time I popped onto her cheerful blog, isn't she precious?!

From her website, "Chelsea Gwynne jewelry is made for a woman who happily identifies herself as a lady. From bridesmaids to CEO's to earth mothers and activists, Chelsea Gwynne will help you put your best baubles forward."

Last week Chelsea posted this adorable Lantern necklace, and I knew I had to have it! 

She was a dream to work with, and customized it especially for me! I will be wearing mine all weekend and will post a picture next week. It's even prettier than I could have imagined. Thank you Chelsea, I adore my new necklace!

Did you see the new CK Bradley Photo Shoot yesterday?  Oh my goodness, full of such happy summer sweetness, I am dying to own several of these new pieces. 

Look at that darling belt on the Green Oscar dress!

Don't you just love this Belles Shirtdress?  It comes in four fun colors, check it out here.

Pink & Green Tablescape of the Week:  Featured this month in Woman's Day Magazine, don't you love the fun paper print used as a table cloth?  Great for a summer get together that is less formal, no need to iron linens, all of the items are disposable.  The birdcages were spray painted white, and there is a tutorial here on how to make the cute pink origami cranes!  (Look!  Lilly drink umbrellas!)

Keeping with the summer sweetness theme, I have a new designer dress obsession:  Kirribilla. 

Are you ladies familiar with this amazing San Francisco-based design team?  Each collection is inspired by one of the many destinations the designers have visited over the years - from the eye-catching glamour of the south of France to the natural beauty of Hawaii and more.  I am ready to buy every dress on the line, it is that fabulous!
