Lilly for CHEAP!

Hey guys!

Sorry its been a while since my last post, I've been so busy with school and everything lately. Anyways, I've been really looking in to the Lilly Pulitzer Carded ID Wristlet Poplin. It has tons of space to keep credit cards, school ID cards, and my iPhone, too, so I really wanted to buy one! However, I was too late and Lilly got rid of all the old patterns and replaced them with the new Fall patterns, so the print I wanted was no longer in stock! I was really disappointed and started looking in to online boutiques and shops for the print that I wanted. Yesterday, I finally found it! This may come as a surprise to some of you, it surprised me, but I found it on eBay! I haven't really had any experience with eBay, I bought a birthday present for my Mom on there once, but other than that, I've never shopped for anything using eBay. I was super excited, and the price listed was much cheaper than if I bought it from the Lilly site. Originally the wristlet is $38, but the price that I bid was only $17.50! Obviously I was really happy, so I decided to look more in to Lilly Pulitzer on eBay. It turns out they have some pretty great stuff! I found Classic Lilly Polo's on there for as low as $0.99 and gently used dresses for as low as $8 bucks for the Lilly Resort White Doodle Bug. Obviously these prices are fantastic, and I'm really pleased with the quality, as well! I recommend you check it out, you'll be surprised!

Jack Rogers

Hey guys! So recently there's been a new trend in shoes that I've noticed. A ton of people are buying fake Jack Rogers. I know a lot of people have real Jacks and want to know the difference in fakes, so I wanted to post some tips on how to spot the differences.

1.) Fake Jacks look cheaper.  The material is more worn at the top, and the bottoms are a darker shade than real Jacks. The stitching around the fakes are sloppier.
2.) The heel on fake Jacks is shorter than real Jacks. Real Jacks have a heel of about 1-2 inches, while fake Jacks have a really short heel of only a 1/2 inch!
3.) The back part peels. If you look at the pictures of real Jacks below, you'll see that there is a colored back on each pair of Jacks. The backs on fake Jacks are normally peeling or sticking up.

Next time you see someone who is wearing Jacks, you can call them out if they're fake. Hope this helped.

If you don't have Jacks and are interested in buying them, I posted a link below to the official website.
