This week has been a crazy, hectic, "I'm losing my mind" kind of week. That being said, I don't have one of my "normal" blog posts to post, so this is more of a post about some cool things I thought I would share.

1. HerCampus is giving away a $500 Lilly Pulitzer shopping spree! That's right, two of my favorite things (HC & Lilly) have teamed up to make sure summer never ends. Find details about this and other awesome giveaways here!

Custom Lilly Pom-Pom Shorts

I have such a hard time finding things that fit my petite frame, especially things in Lilly Pulitzer. I can't tell if Lilly runs big, or if I'm the only one that has this problem. Recently I went to the Pink Narcissus in Pier Park to try on a pair of Lilly shorts, but even the 00s fell off of me. I have a small frame due to 1) genetics and 2) the back brace that I wore for over 2 years acted as a corset, and as a result my ribs and hips were very slow to expand. I voiced my frustrations to the Lilly team, but I wanted action right away! Then, I found Custom Lilly's Instagram! She was having a giveaway at the time, and one of my friends posted about it.

Custom Lilly makes custom shorts and skirts out of Lilly Pulitzer fabric. These aren't some imitations, it's the actual print! She offers sizes XS-XL, and the XS was absolutely PERFECT for my tiny frame! They have an elastic waist and the cutest pom-pom detailing at the bottom. I actually won Custom Lilly's giveaway (yay me!!) and I had the hardest time picking between Lobstah Roll and She She Shell. I ended up going with She She Shell, because I'm always a sucker for textured fabric! Custom Lilly just launched her website today and you can check it out HERE!! Also, be on the look out for a guest post with my new friends at Custom Lilly and Amy Believes In Pink!
