I on the other hand bought nothing. Nothing online or at the store. OH well.

So excited your daughter came to visit, what a treat.<br /><br />The Lily for Target debacle is ridiculous. On-line sales were opened at midnight, sadly they did not beef up their site because it crashed for many and they lost their stuff in the cart. The store is a joke because many of the stores did not get all of the items and of course I heard it was a free-for all. <br /><br />I did not go but my sister went in IL and she said at 8:05 the shelves were bare. People had 2 and 3 carts of stuff that clearly they had no intention if using but of selling. Frankly for the prices they are selling the stuff for you can buy the real deal on the lily's on site.<br /><br />I think thus is just one more reason that Target sales are declining.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing Target. I just think when you hype a sale this big as they did Missoni than you should have a plan. <br /><br />Happy for the people that went and wanted something and managed to get it. <br /><br />Have a great week!

I used to wear Lilly when Lilly was REALLY Lilly -when the old gal herself was alive and kicking in Palm Beach. We live in Palm Beach Gardens and I loved her stuff! There were great stores there that had resale shops and on occasion I would get lucky to find something spectacular. Her children's clothes were wonderful, too.<br />I am sure there will be a restocking in Target soon...there better be! xo Diana ps. Glad #2 made it home for a surprise visit...and glad you hadn't had so much wine that you didn't recognize her....just sayin'......xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-77094710050392963222015-04-20T15:21:09.728-07:002015-04-20T15:21:09.728-07:00What a fabulous surprise having your #2 for the we...What a fabulous surprise having your #2 for the weekend!! There is no better treat for a mom. I thought about you yesterday wondering how you fared at the Lilly for Target event. I think that your experience was the same as thousands all over the country. The worst part is that many of those loaded cart, Lulu leggings wearing, non-church goers are going to sell their haul on eBay - probably to make money for more Lulu stuff! The ugliness of that scene does not match the classic beauty of the Lilly line.<br />I'd still say that your weekend was a "win" - #2 by your side and blog fans popping up everywhere!! How fun!!!Mocadeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151014508656606795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-63141593896984163542015-04-20T15:05:08.982-07:002015-04-20T15:05:08.982-07:00How funny!

I had started with seven, but during the hour it took me to check out, two of the dresses sold out. They kept shutting down the site during my ordering, but I stayed persistent! Took my granddaughter to the store at 7:45 AM and we, too, ended up with zero because we were at the back of the line. Our store here in Venice, FL was totally sold out in all areas by 8:05.Debbi Benedicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022947175251684855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-32573238590153832532015-04-20T05:12:40.866-07:002015-04-20T05:12:40.866-07:00Although I am not too surprised.....it's all s...Although I am not too surprised.....it's all so shocking that women behave this way!

I think you saw on insta how ours was; we got in there and after fifteen minutes, the racks looked like yours, bare! I did score some great beach towels! They are so adorable. I also got some swizzle sticks, a bar set, and a great pineapple platter. I wanted those mugs, but my store didn't receive any. deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260449313842583811noreply@blogger.com
