When we were at the Outer Banks we went to a little shop that sold Lilly Pulitzer clothes. I nearly fell over. I dashed from rack to rack exclaiming to Aaron how enchanting each and every item was. He nodded sagely. Unfortunately... I found the prices to be a bit... pricey.
I peeked in a book about her life and it said she was the Queen of Pink and Green. Drat. I didn't realize the title had already been taken.
ooooh I LOVE Lilly....I have two of her dresses and they are my favorite thing ever. But yeah, the prices are definitely a problem. Otherwise, Lilly would probably be all I wear!
ReplyDeleteI've desperatley wanted a Bermuda Bag for the last couple of months. I especially like the Paul Frank whale fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to see a mention of LP! I think her clothes are of great fun, and the color combos are very playful! And, in fact, I actually looked through her book on my last visit to the bookstore. Boy, she had some tall hair back in the day!*:)
ReplyDeleteI've adored Lilly Pulitzer's stuff for years. I've never bought any but may invest in a few pieces once my weight stabilizes. (darn kids!) The Philadelphia Flower show had an entry from the Susan G. Komen org. that used her pink & green fabrics (I think) for tablecloths & such. I thought of you.
ReplyDeleteWe have a LP store here in Dallas, and on my Saturday jaunt to the village where it resides, I have what I call my weekly drool session. Yum, her clothes are adorable. Makes me wish I was a little girl again, as I think the kids clothes are just to die...
ReplyDeleteI was so excited when this year they handed out free cotton scarves designed by Lilly at Race for the Cure. They were pink and green! She also designed a silk scarf last year for Komen, chances are she'll do another one. They were pretty reasonably priced and for a good cause. Be on the lookout! :)
ReplyDeleteDifferent subject for a minute - what kind of work does Aaron do? Is he still in the military? Reserves? Just being nosy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your marriage - the wedding looks like it was everything YOU two wanted it to be. Good for you! Looks like it was a lot of fun, the honeymoon too!

ReplyDeleteSomeone as talented as you could make your own "Lilly" dress in a similar fabric, I'm sure. --Elaine
ReplyDeleteOh my god. Was the place called 'Islands' and in a teeny cute shopping center in Duck? I just went to the outer banks a month ago, and that store had a TRACTOR BEAM on my friend and me. I couldn't afford the clothes but I bought a bracelet or something every single time we passed by.
ReplyDeleteI checked store locations. There's one on HHI. It's meant to be -- Mom and I are hitting the LP store.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info LJC! :)

They're a Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store in Boca Grande Florida. They are always one of the first to load the latest season on their site, with all the fabric swatches.
I love Lilly too! AND I think your site is cool.
