Pretty Prints Faceoff: Office Edition (Lilly Pulitzer v. Vera Bradley)

Alright so you know that you are the effect of 9-to-5 office life when you get excited about the release of the 2014 agendas! I can't deny that I got beyond excited when I saw the agendas on the Vera Bradley website and received an email from Lilly Pulitzer that their new designs were available to order.

Vera Bradley and Lilly Pulitzer are both style houses that are known for their vibrant designs and iconic patterns, and their new agendas are no different. Vera Bradley's 2014 Agenda comes in 3 patterns: Plum Crazy, Lilli Bell, and Go Wild. Meanwhile, Lilly Pulitzer 2014 Agenda comes in 5: New Green Coronado Crab, True Navy Tiger Lilly, True Navy Tusk in Sun, Turquoise Let's Cha Cha, and Tropical Pink Lulu.

Pictured below are Lilli Bell and then Tropical Pink Lulu

The Vera Bradley 2014 Agendas are $25 and 7" x 9" x 1.5". I compared it to Lilly Pulitzer's 2014 Agendas in the large size with dimensions of 7.35" x 8.75" x 1" for $28. At similar price ranges and with similar features (I mean, aren't all agendas essentially equal?), it really comes down to preference for this one.

Which brand's agendas do you prefer: Lilly's or Vera's? My vote is on Lilly all the way (Turquoise Let's Cha Cha is just TOO CUTE) but I think that both brands are pretty rad. Let me know which brand YOU choose in the comments!

Shoe Envy: Dolce Vita Gwen Heels

While doing my typical "window shopping" on the Free People website, I came across the cute shoes that I am now eyeing. The Dolce Vita Gwen Heels are strappy sandals that are constructed of leather. In true Dolce Vita (and Free People) fashion, I'm sure this is a quality pair of shoes that is perfect for the summer months. These heels can be dressed up or down, and at just over 4 inches high, you don't have to rule out walking down city streets in these or going out dancing all night.

Priced at $169, these Dolce Vita Gwen Heels are ready to fly off store shelves. With reasonable pricing for a designer pair of shoes, these heels capitalize of this season's trends while still  maintaining the touch of unconditional class due to its quality black leather and thick heel.

So there you have it: I'm currently envying the Dolce Vita Gwen Heels. If you would like to purchase it, go here now before your size runs out of stock. These shoes are going fast!
