Lilly Pulitzer Spring 2011




Thanks to my BFF Muffy Martini for sharing with me the .pdf version of the latest Lilly Pulitzer catalog (Spring 2011)!

As I sit inside at work on a cold, but cheery-sunny day, the bright pops of color on the models made me feel excited about Spring (and a lil' out of shape, too). Here are a few of my favorite styles, I hope you all do not mind YET ANOTHER blogger writing about her favorite styles of Lilly P.


The "Eryn" is a gorgeous, fluffy dress of the retro variety - clearly something you would see on Mad Men on any given episode. I am a fan of the textured look - this dress has an organza ribbon stripe and a full skirt.



The "Jacqueline" dress has a cheerful green color and a classic shift shape. I am in love with the novelty lace in the Lilly Pulitzer signature lace mini jacquard. Again, I love texture! Isn't it just a fun Spring-y color? I am sure I will see this at Easter and at horse races this Spring.



Lastly, I love the "Shauna" tunic dress. Every season I try to get a new white dress. For one, it is the epitome of summer. Two, I find that it inspires me to really tone up and get some healthy coloring. And it looks flattering with the natural auburn highlights in my hair that happen in the summer months. All good things!

As you can see, I am a fan of boatnecks. I have pretty toned arms so I love that look! Flattering and clean-cut while not looking prude-ish!

What are your favorite Lilly Pulitzer dresses for this year? What about for all time?

Brands I Love: Lilly Pulitzer


Greetings from another edition of Brands I Love! Previously I have talked to you guys about my love of Vera Bradley and Kate Spade. Now, the classic love of Lilly Pulitzer.

The love affair started very early in my family. My Grandmama and my aunt Mellie wore Lilly's shifts when they first came out on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. My family lived in Coral Gables, Florida then, so of course they understood the function of the dresses!

Here are some of my favorite pieces by her over the years...:


This long shift with a butterfly print was something I found on a vintage site. Love the two slits for legs - very Chinois in style so likely a late 60s cut. Cute!



The Sherman linen dress in Turquoise Alligator Alley is so fresh and clean-looking!



The Starfruit Climbing Up the Ladder shift is too presh!



The Worth Shift in this pattern, cannot remember the name, so someone please help me remember it! ha!
