Razzberry Fizz Lilly Pulitzer giveaway extravaganza!

Good morning ladies! We hope you're having a wonderful week so far - and today's post is going to make your week that much better! We are so excited to have yet another giveaway this week on the blog...this one is from the lovely ladies of Razzberry Fizz!

Razzberry Fizz is an adorable gift shop nestled in downtown Clemson. Their motto is "Gifts that motivate, celebrate & encourage". They sell a wide variety of items, most of which can be personalized! They carry lots of name brand gifts too, like Lilly Pulitzer and Jonathan Adler.

If you don't live in the upstate, no worries, Razzberry Fizz has an awesome website that lets you shop (and still personalize) all of their items.

I'm pretty tired of this blah cold weather, so I'm excited to see fun summery items showing up in stores - Razzberry Fizz has gotten in a new shipment of Spring and Summer goodies.

Check out these adorable beach totes - available in a variety of styles. I like that they are sturdy and will stand up next to your beach chair for easy access.

I'm also loving these new cover up tunics - comfortable and cute for covering up your bathing suit. And of course every girl needs a wide brimmed sun hat to protect your face from the sun.

And this is probably my favorite new item Razzberry Fizz has gotten in -- an adorable patterned cooler tote that can be monogrammed. An easy way to carry some refreshments down to the beach and ensure they'll stay cool. I think I would use this year round - it could definitely come in handy during football season too! :)

Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway
As we mentioned earlier, Razzberry Fizz carries Lilly Pulitzer items...and we are very excited that they have offered to give away not one...but THREE Lilly Pulitzer prizes to three very lucky Clemson Girl readers! So excited!!

You could win one of the following amazing Lilly Pulitzer gifts...

A very popular 17 month agenda...

An adorable thermal mug...

Or a dry erase board...

In love with Anthropologie orange...

One of my all time favorite stores is Anthropologie...

Granted, you're going to be paying a lot more with Anthropologie...but you'll be getting beaufitul and unique clothes of high quality that will last you several football seasons! Anthropologie clothes are worth the investment.

Check out some of these lovely orange pieces currently on Anthropologie's site. My favorite is this first one, a lovely orange and brown patterned dress that can be worn strapless or halter style. Love that!

Marley Lilly monogrammed ring giveaway winner!

Yesterday we posted an amazing giveaway from one of our fave sponsors, Marley Lilly. One lucky Clemson Girl reader will win one of two sterling silver, monogrammed rings below...winner's choice!

The response was so overwhelming, we had to extend the deadline until Noon today. And with six possible entries per person, compiling them together took quite some time. Thank you (so very much) to everyone who took the time to enter and spread the word about the giveaway!

We even had a few men enter the giveaway - and it was very cute because they all mentioned they wanted to win the ring for their significant others. Guys - Valentine's Day is right around the corner... so even if you don't win, you can still get these gorgeous rings for your girl!

But after a random drawing, we finally have a winner!!

Congratulations to......
