Pink and Green Thursday: Pretty Little Things

Welcome friends to another Pink & Green Thursday!



 
 

It's nice to be back after a couple weeks...special thanks to my sweet friend Julie for taking over in my absence two weeks ago, you are so wonderful! 

As always thank you for joining us each week and linking up below.  Let's play together!  Show us your pink and green favorites this week, and visit the blog hop below to meet fellow pink and green lovers and to find new friends!

Here are my Pink & Green pretty little things for you this week, ENJOY!




















***

Short and sweet this week; We're in New York for my baby sister's graduation this morning from the Culinary Institute of America. Can't believe my precious little sister is all grown up!


Being almost ten years older than she is, I am extremely fortunate that her and I have such a close relationship.  She is truly the most wonderful sister in the world, and we couldn't be prouder of her amazing accomplishments!


We can't wait to visit her in her new role at the highly respected restaurant VOLT, under the guidance of fellow CIA graduate Chef Bryan Voltaggio!

Congrats baby sis! xox

Did anyone have luck at the Lilly End of Summer Sale this week?  Although there were some technical difficulties, I thought the selections and prices were great!  Here are a few of my new pretties...



SUPER excited about this Harper Dress...I had my eye on it FOREVER but could never find it in my size in the stores.  I couldn't pass it up in both patterns when I found it in my size online and on sale!


The Betsey Dress is one of my all time faves, the cut is always so flattering.  I love the lace detail on this one, so simple and chic.


I picked up a few additional goodies (Mainsail Fleece and a couple Murfee scarves) and ordered my free pair of Skinny McKim's in Daiquiri Pink.  Thanks for the fun sale, Lilly! xx

Happy Pink & Green Thursday, do something fun that makes you smile today!  
Can't wait to catch up with everyone over the weekend, you are all so wonderful xoxo

  25. I actually thought about you today. We were out driving home from our hair appts when I saw....a pink and green golf cart. Yep. Even the upholstery was pink and green print. If I"m back over that way, I'm going to have to get a picture of it (didn't have my cam today) and send it to you.

  30. Hi Trish,

    I just left a comment over on Jessica's blog, but am happy to say that I have now visited your blog:).

    That is incredibly cool that your sister is graduating, and that despite your age difference, you are super close with one another. I have a brother (5 years apart) and I love hearing about 'sister relationships'. Luckily, lots of girl cousins!

    And I'm a huge Top Chef fan... working w/ Bryan?? WOW.

  35. Hi Trish! Your pictures are JUST GORGEOUS! I just smiled looking ath them all....& I especially loved hearing the news about your lil' sis! That is awesome! Why didn't my sisters go into culinary? We all have teaching degrees but we could use a chef in the fam!!! :)

    Thanks so much for your sweet comments about my Dad. It is so hard to see this big strong man recovong so slowly. At least he is on hs feet now but he is so different that it brings tears to my eyes often. I feel so sorry that you said you can relate because it is such a hard thing. But your sweet comment I could tell came straighty from the heart & really touched me.

    I also saw you sent me an ecard today & I just wanted to thank you..it didn't let me read it because if some error but I just wanted to let you know I got it & thank you very much!

    Your blog is looking m,ore & more amazing every time I visit! You really have a talent for this!!! & those dresses you got! GORGEOUS!!! You have one lucky hubby :) Take Care Trish!
