Sandy and Lane hopped in the Monkee’s Mobile and headed off to Figure Eight Island last weekend. Life better not be Highway 74 because we did not want to drive it all night long…it is such a drag! But, the distance was well worth it…we had a blast at Dee Dee Shaw’s Party! Dee Dee is the founder of Monkee’s and owns the Wilmington store. She hosted a fabulous party at her Figure Eight Island home and hosted Lane and Sandy at her amazing home in Wilmington. Thank you, Dee Dee for your wonderful hospitality-we had a blast!

The pressure was on all week to find the best ensemble to wear to the event, but Lane and Sandy were up to the task! Sandy wore the Trina Turk Chai Dress paired with silver metallic strappy heels on her tootsies…yes, she strayed…she wore her Dolce’s…too bad we don’t have those at the store…maybe someday! Lane wore a fabulous emerald colored Maxi dress from Envi…Lane always looks so glamorous in Maxi’s! We paired the ensembles with our favorite jewels – great finds from market – and voila, we were ready to party! Funny enough, we ran into James (affectionately nicknamed Jamesy) at the Harris Teeter and decided that we needed to bring a date to the party. Jamesy is one of our favorite clothing reps-he was working the boutiques in Wilmington when we stumbled upon him- Without hesitation, we threw Jamsey in the car and off we went! We had a “Large” time. Lane mingled with all of her BFF’s from Wilmington-Lane lived in Wrightsville Beach on and off throughout college. She even drug us to some of her old hangouts throughout the weekend. Of course, it didn’t take too much convincing to get us out and about 5 establishments and 5 billion TOO many refreshments later, we managed to call it a weekend! It was a blast and, we have a new favorite song…”Please Don’t Leave Me” from Pink-love it! And that’s how we felt about Wilmington…”Please Don’t Leave Me”. We’ll be back soon! XOXO!
