Summer in Lilly

I know it's fall now, but my dress I got from the Lilly After Party Sale arrived earlier this month, and I knew I just had to get one wear in before summer's end. Waiting until the last possible moment, on the last day of summer, Sean and I went to dinner at Shell and Bones in New Haven. The restaurant has some gorgeous water views, and we were treated to a magnificent sunset along with our delicious meal.

  2. Ooh another pretty Lilly dress! Haha. You certainly have a knack for finding the non-garish ones. The little shells are so you :D

  3. If summer really has to end - and it does, sadly - and you have to settle for just one last hurrah - which we all do - then it should be done in a fabulous dress. And while I can't imagine wearing this one, I have to say that it is totally fabulous on you and especially appropriate for dinner by the water. Plus I love how your pink bag pulls out the subtle pink tones in the dress, I don't know if I would have noticed them otherwise because they're so subtle, but the combination of the two pieces is really pretty.
