I've been in a real Lilly Pulitzer mood lately. There will be times when I don't even browse the Lilly website and then other times when I am tracking the hashtag on Instagram to find out what new things people are wearing/buying/styling.

I can finally afford *some Lilly dresses and I treated myself to one at the start of the summer season. They're perfect for work in New York -- the bright colors make me feel slightly brighter & better on the gross, dirty, and dark NYC subway.

I've been lusting after a lot of Lilly: shirts, dresses, bags, and everything in between. I feel like the clothing prints have gotten a lot more tasteful in the past few years and are actually more wearable than those prints of the past. I'm really feeling it.

This is the dress I purchased a few weeks back. It's perfect for work or a daytime BBQ. It's not too short and it fits slightly loose so it's not uber tight & uncomfortable. It's a great dress to have in your arsenal in the summertime.

Here's everything else I want:


What have you been loving and lusting?


This post was not planned at all, I moved some things around but stay tuned for an exciting post (and possible giveaway for tomorrow!)

Over the long snowy weekend, I obviously did some window shopping on the Internet and stumbled across the retailer ILY. I have never heard of this online boutique before (let me know if you have) but I immediately fell in love with every piece of clothing on their website.

They have the most beautiful sweaters I've ever seen and they have the graphic sweatshirts that are very on trend right now.

I just had to share because I want/need everything!




What's on your wishlist?


I'm in desperate need of a new summer wardrobe. I was switching all my summer clothes out from my winter clothes last week and realized I have shirts from like 4 years ago. That is an issue.

I need new clothes for work, to lounge around in, and just in general. I especially need shoes! I am the worst at buying shoes (and clothes for that matter). I spend my money on accessories and make-up but I am going to do my best throughout the month of June to stop the frivlous spending and only buy things I need.

LIKE CLOTHES!

I just bought two pairs of American Eagle jeans on clearance and they're okay. They look great on me but they are slightly uncomfortable. My mom's response to that was "You can't always be comfortable" and my answer is YES I CAN. But I'm not returning them because I really need them and they do look really good.

I've been looking everywhere for more clothes but I am honestly so picky. I want to dress trendy but then I stray away from those types of clothes when I'm actually shopping.

My work wardrobe can be a little more on the casual side so that is a gift but still, I'm at a loss for where to shop. I usually stick to American Eagle Outfitters or Nordstrom but I want to venture outside my comfort zone.

Leave any suggestions in the comments!!

But... I've been obsessed with kimonos lately--I got two from Nordstrom Rack and they're super comfortable and easy to wear or match with pretty much everything.

I also really want to try a jumpsuit because they look really comfortable and super easy to wear. This one from American Eagle is calling my name.

I put together a little wish list of things I want/need/lust after and we'll see how much I actually buy in the near future!



What's on your wishlist? Also give me some retailers/clothing suggestions in the comments pretty please :)



As a college girl and blogger, I'm constantly looking for new, cheap clothing brands. I have a very simple, chic style and really just like anything that I think looks nice and that I'm comfortable in. I've been running on a college budget so it's always nice to find a brand that is relatively low price but has high quality clothes.

A website called ShopHope's was brought to my attention recently and I've fallen in love. 

The site has very trendy clothing but I really feel as if there is something for everyone. The best thing about Shop Hope's? They have NEW arrivals twice a day from Monday-Friday, at 12pm and 5pm. That is something I've never heard of a clothing website/brand doing which really sets it apart from anything else.

It also means that there are always new items for you to look at and purchase. 

Shop Hope's also always ships free in the US and Canada. I online shop a lot and shipping is something that always makes or breaks my decision to buy something. Sometimes the shipping is more than the item I'm purchasing and it's really annoying.

Shop Hope's definitely caters to a certain kind of style but I'm kind of obsessed with a few items on their website. 






I'm very into dresses this season as you can tell and Shop Hope's has a lot of them.

No matter what season it is, I always seem to have a million parties to go too; it could be family parties, graduation parties, fancy birthdays, or a sorority formal. I find myself spending hundreds of dollars on fancy dresses to wear because you can't wear the same thing twice, with the same group of people.

The problem is that these dresses sit in my closet because their too fancy or too casual for certain gatherings, or they go out of style. I have a ridiculous collection of dresses.

Also, I have a mighty expensive taste; I love luxurious designer clothing but my bank account does not agree with that particular addiction. 

Well I have found a site that solves all those problems, that I'm sure you lovely ladies go through as well! 

HireStyle is an internet based designer clothing rental company. They have great brand names from Burberry to DVF to Rag and Bone for less than 90% of the retail price. Can you say score?!

I've talked about my style before and how I felt that I never really fit into a category. I've always been all over the style spectrum but last summer, after I started Royally Pink, I became accustomed to the preppy lifestyle.

There is one company that I've loved since finding out about them last summer which encompasses the preppy lifestyle of college students everywhere.

The Frat Collection is an up and coming clothing company that is targeted at relaxed, preppy college students. They have a number of items for both men, women, and children. 

The Frat Collection is probably best known for their pocket (or frocket) tees--both long and short sleeved tees. The best thing about these frockets are that you can personalize them with your choice of pocket design. Everything from chevron stripes, polka dots, and other cool designs are choices for your pocket tees. 




Aside from the traditional pocket tees, they have sweat shirts and button downs also. 

Everything the Frat Collection has to offer is wonderful and clearly speaks volumes to the fratty, preppy college students around the country. 

One of the best parts of The Frat Collection is that when you checkout, you have the option to donate 10% of your purchase to the charity of your choice. This is really meant for members of Greek organizations to donate to their chapter's philanthropy but if you're not Greek, you could choose whichever charity or philanthropy you please.

Go check out The Frat Collection today and use the discount code 'MILLSAPS' for 10% off your purchase!
