Did you hear that the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale starts Monday, September 14th? I know a lot of y’all, like me, enjoy stocking up on sundresses, shorts, and lots of Lilly goodness during this event. Over the years, I've developed a few pro tips to help you navigate it quickly and efficiently.

1. Log on early... and prepare to wait. Have a browser window open to lillypulitzer.com by 7 am, and be prepared to be placed in a long online queue once the sale goes live around 8!

2. Know what you want to shop. I usually formulate a list of the searches I'm going to conduct, based on my tried and true favorite styles. I usually search for the Skipper Popover, the Elsa Top, the Sophie Dress (my mom's favorite style!) and for "maxi", for the landing page for maxi & midi dresses.

3. Place a couple of smaller orders rather than one large haul. This will ensure that you don't "lose" as many items in your cart to faster shoppers.

4. Run a filter for your size. See what's available to fit you. After I look for myself, I run quick searches for my mom's sizes and my little nieces. (We take Lilly pretty seriously in my family!) I find this helps me discover styles I’ve maybe overlooked in the past — like my new favorite, the Kaia tunic!

Happy Shopping, y’all! Let me know if you score anything good!!
