Survey Says!
Sorry, we meant "survey break", not "snack break".  We have questions, and we know you've got answers.  You're very knowledgeable!  Not to mention attractive, and very snappy dressers.  And if you play your cards right, you can be knowledgeable, attractive, snappy dressers who own a brand new iPod Shuffle.  That's right.  If at least 500 of you respond to this Very Fun And Not At All Time-Consuming Survey (hint, hint - forward to your friends!), you will be entered to win a funky, fresh iPod Shuffle.  You know you love free stuff.  Even if you don't win the iPod, you have to admit that surveys are actually pretty fun, and give you an excuse to stop working for a few minutes.  You deserve a break, you attractive, snappy dressers, you!  And we mean "a break" after you finish reading the rest of our hard-hitting news stories below.

Bachelorette Bidnezz
We know many of you will be attending weddings this summer, and some of you may even be co-starring in The Show, in the role of "dutiful bridesmaid".  We have just created a special Holiday Golightly web-page, specifically for - as the title says - "Bachelorette Bidnezz"
 
 

What the heck is 'bidnezz'?  It's 'business' spelled totally wrong.  It just makes us laugh.  And if you could feign some DJ vinyl scratching when you say 'bidnezz', that would be even better.  You're holding an imaginary headset up to your ear, right?  The page is a fantastic resource for Bachelorette party ideas, getaway recommendations, funny activities, and also includes wedding-prep-related blog posts.  Like our Top 10 "Something Blues".


You Haven't Seen It Yet?!


The Sex & the City movie?  Get thee to a theater!  Girlfriends everywhere are coming out in droves to see the sex, the city, and the clothes!  I'm personally nominating the entire SATC wardrobe for "Best Actress".  We're proud to be a part of the fashion-monster that has crushed the box office with its gladiator stilettos, grossing $120 million after only 3 weeks in the theaters.
 
Here, at Holiday Golightly, we did our part, and hosted a smashing premiere, complete with champagne and fun dresses - it was insane to see everyone so dressed up!
We're eagerly awaiting the next cinematic excuse to go shoe shopping.


Start Your Whining!
If the weather where you are has been anything like the weather where we are, it is probably safe to say there has been some whining.  And no one likes a whiner. But everyone loves a winer. 
 
Wait...vintner, that's the word.  Vintner. Everyone loves a vintner.  Someone who makes delightful drinks out of nature's candy.
Did you know that June is Official Winery Month?
 
 
 
What?  That's not true? Well, it should be.  What better way to coax summer into existence then by sampling tastes from the vines?  Tempt yourself with our Walla Walla Getaway.
Turning 30?  35?  40?
It's landmark birthday time!  Remember when you were little and ANY birthday made you so excited you'd jump up and down and run around in circles until you threw up?  While your landmark birthday may just feel like throwing up, it really should elicit that same sense of childlike excitement.
 
 
 
Yeah, yeah, you're getting older.  So what?  Everyone is.  But NOT everyone is having a super-special landmark birthday, which is the perfect excuse to do something kind of outrageous.  Naturally, our first recommendation would be to take a girlfriend getaway.  Naturally.  See Ellie & Ali's Paris getaway for inspiration.
