It may be possible that I am the only 26 year old woman in the clothing business who HATES malls…there, I said it! It’s not the shops (TRUST me, I love brand clothing!), its crowds! And during Christmas time I avoid malls at all costs. Since my love of clothing is ever-so prevalent (you should see my closet) I am obsessed with boutique shopping. Not a lot of people know this, but most boutiques have amazing sales – especially during the holiday time. The Pink Pelican, for example, already has all their Lilly Pulitzer fall clothing on sale AND even have their own outlet online store (www.preppyoutlet.com), which carries tons of uber-cute Lilly clothing and other brands at great prices. It’s so easy to shop, and with a 100% refund return policy it makes shopping stess free! All you have to do is send it back within 5 days! Easy! So this year, I recommend www.thepinkpelican.com and www.preppyoutlet.com. There is even a men’s section AND kids!

Happy Shopping!
