My butt is sore, I blame Lulu Lemon. At the moment, I blame Lululemon for everything.
I pee more, I blame Lululemon.
I have a physical addiction, I blame Lululemon.
I have poor hygiene, I blame Lululemon.
I need marriage counseling, I blame Lululemon.
Confused? Allow me to break this down . . .
Happy Wednesday Smarties! Celebrate St. Patricks this weekend by participating in the Cookies for Kids Cancer 5k, going to the Whitewater Center, heading up to Discovery Place Kids or joining the festivities Uptown. OR….get your shop on at one of the many consignment sales going on all around town. Get out and enjoy!
For those of you who skimmed CSP this week, you should definitely read the Diane Von Furstenberg partnership with GapKids post earlier this week. It is destined to be fab, it will sell out as soon as it hits the shelves and you don’t want to be the one who missed out. Gap SouthPark is the only store in the Greater Charlotte area who will have the DVF Kids inventory and once it sells out, it’s forever gone. There will be no second shipment. Think Missoni for Target on crack – this stuff is the hottest ticket in kids clothes this spring!
Move over Target, Gap has entered the arena for high fashion designer partners and this one will not disappoint!
Gap in South Park Mall is one of a select group of area stores to be getting the new Diane Von Furstenberg collection for GAP Kids. For those of you not familiar, Diane Von Furstenburg is a fab designer known for her signature wrap dress. Diane has never tried her hand at children’s clothing until now – lucky us because this is the perfect marriage!
Gap South Park will be holding a PREVIEW PRE SALE PARTY on Wednesday, March 14 from 5 – 8 pm at the store, and Charlotte Smarty Pants & Scoop Charlotte readers are invited.
Happy Wednesday Smarties! For your shopping pleasure, there are several fantastic consignment sales this weekend and a multi family yard sale. For those of you who would like some outdoor time, head to one of our county parks. The activities are really cool. You can also head out to the US Whitewater Center, Discovery Place or the Mint Museum. You will have fun at all but you have to Get out and Enjoy!

As I transition my youngest son’s room from a nursery into a “big kid” space, I have been thinking about furniture and design ideas that will last him into his early teens. Starting with a nursery that is not too babyish can help with this change as kids get older.
It’s here, Lilly Pulitzer SouthPark is opening her doors at 10am tomorrow morning and we cannot wait! And of course we have a giveaway exclusive to a CSP reader, just because we love all things pink & green and know you do too!
As you have read over the past week, we have been hanging with our Lilly friends as they transformed their store into a tropical island retreat. They like to call it “Lillify.”
CSP got cozy with the talent behind the walls of Lilly.
The countdown is on and we have SIX days until Lilly Pulitzer SouthPark opens its doors and we could not be more excited! Our Lilly friends want one lucky Smarty to get in on the pink & green fun so they are giving a $200 gift card to the Lilly store as well as a Murfee scarf of your choice – LOVE?! Smarties, this swag is valued at $318!!
Words cannot describe how excited I am to partner with my idols at Lilly Pulitzer! I knew the minute I saw the Lilly Jeep hit the streets of the Queen City, that this was a match made in heaven – a pink & green one of course!
The Smarty crew was invited to meet the designers behind the “Lillification” of SouthPark this week. Let me just say, this has been SOOO much fun! It made me want to skip town and go on a vacay to the tropics! Don’t be mistaken, Lilly offers just as fabulous winter clothing as they do spring/summer, so it’s a year-round vacation in all things Lilly.
I love to tackle interior DIY projects, but I don’t usually have the time that they require so I look to a few of my favorite blogs to read about inventive re-do’s. One of my regular reads is Little Green Notebook. Jenny provides great descriptions and how-to’s for all of her DIY projects – and I can say that they all turn out beautifully. A favorite is this super easy Ikea Lack table update.
