Well, hello everyone… 😉 It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted last. I fully intended to kick off the holiday season strong by posting gift guides and keeping up with all of the holiday deals & steals, however Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday came and went too quickly. Then, I got sick before Christmas, and my future posts all went to rack and ruin. If I must be honest, it felt good to take a little hiatus. Happy New Year! I have lots of ideas for this blog in 2019, so thank you for sticking with me!
Anyway, without further ado, the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale 2019 starts TOMORROW, January 7-8! This sale could not come at a better time, with a Miami trip planned for next month. Mark your calendars and alarms, because the sale officially kicks off January 7-8 ONLINE at 8 AM EST!! If you’re a Lilly new-comer, this is the BEST sale of the season and it only happens twice a year. The summer sale, by far, is the biggest in terms of inventory, but rumors are that the winter sale this year is EPIC! Everything is marked down to ridiculously good prices — up to 70% off retail. If you missed out on a previous piece or pattern or style, now is your time to get it. Check out my previous re-caps here.
The online sale gets CRAZY, so I’ll share the FAQ and tips I share every year:
– The sale started in stores yesterday, but the online sale (which will have the most styles and biggest inventory) kicks off at 8 AM EST tomorrow. The sale runs through January 8th at 11:59 PM EST.
– There will be multiple rounds of new products added during the event. A second round of product will be dropped on the morning of Tuesday the 8th. While I can’t share what styles are included, I’ll tell you that they’re GOOD. Definitely worth shopping the second day of the sale.
– Get ready before the sale by pre-registering an account on Lilly’s website. Make sure you have the correct shipping and billing addresses and credit card information on file. This will help immensely with securing your cart once you hit checkout!
– Lilly will have a virtual line again! If you have shopped the sale before, you know the drill. I keep refreshing the homepage 5 minutes before the sale starts, but I STOP once I get a spot in the line. Be prepared for a wait, or “online queue”, but that means your spot is secured and you will be redirected to the sale once your spot is ready. DO NOT hit refresh after you’ve received your spot number, or you will be kicked back to the end of the line! Even if you have a crazy high number, be patient and don’t refresh! The line moves quickly!
– I recommend scanning the site now since some current styles will likely be discounted.
– Make an inventory of your current pieces in your closet now. Take note of style name, pattern, and most importantly, sizes! Jot these down on a notepad, so you can quickly refer to them once the sale starts. Per usual, the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale 2019 is not returnable. All sales are final!
– Be patient & prepared for frustrations! As usual, the volume of traffic is HUGE. There are a lot of Lilly Lovers out there! 😉
– During the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale 2018, you’ll likely see a couple of options: “show filters” and “sort by.” They’ve appeared at the top of the page in the past. There’s no use in wasting your time looking at products that aren’t available in your size, so click “show filters” and select “women’s sizes” first. I tend to then click on “sort by” and select “price – low to high” next.
Some products that will be included in this year’s sale:
17 oz. S’well Bottle
$42 normally, $20 during the sale
This bottle is truly AMAZING! It keeps beverages cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. I use it every single day at work. It keeps my coffee piping hot all day long! Makes for a great gift!
Carlotta Shift Dress
$218 normally, $59 during the sale
Mila Stretch Shift Dress
$178 normally, $59 during the sale
Print: “Coral Reef Tint Monkey Business”
I own this dress, and it’s super cute! Can it get any preppier with the pink & green?! It runs TTS. Can’t wait to bring it to Miami with me.
Canopy Beach Tent
$54
This was a promo item (ex: an item you could get for free with a $500-$1,000 purchase), and I absolutely LOVE the accessories! In my opinion, they’re the BEST part of the sale, and the items I scour the site for first. If you’re anything like me and don’t make huge Lilly purchases just to get a free accessory, this is your time to snag them! These sell out quickly, so if you’re into the fun accessories, you’ll want to check out this section first. In the past, I’ve nabbed a manicure set, rolling beach cooler bag, and other fun accessories.
I’ll be sure to update tomorrow with my sale day finds, but HAPPY SHOPPING! 🌴 🎀
