I was thrilled to attend "The Authentically Preppy Lilly Party" this past Saturday evening at the Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History.
I rode down to Palm Beach with my friend Mary (Lilly lover extraordiare!) and her friend, Fran. We had a wonderfully, fun weekend .... lunch at Taboo, shopping on Worth Ave and C. Orricio, dinner at Bici.
The highlight of course being the party with Lilly Pulitzer!
Lunch at Taboo
Jack & Rebecca at 23 Via Mizner ... the site of Lilly's first shop
The big orange door at Tory on Worth Ave
Some of the vintage Lilly collection at The Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History
Original Lilly fabrics
Beautiful girls, Mary & Caroline 'Dripping in Jewels'
Lilly friend, Barbara
Mary and her vintage Lilly dress
7 year old, Willow ... amazing violinist
The beautiful, gracious and sweet Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau.
Such an honor to spend an evening with her!
What fun! Love seeing all the photos. The one with you and Lilly is the best. Love your dress!
Hugs,
Kat

What a fun experience ~ thank you for sharing! I loved seeing so many beautiful Lilly's in one room ~ (your dress was amongst my favorites, along with Mary & Caroline 'Dripping in Jewels'!) But the best of all, was the last photo of you with Miss Lilly Pulitzer herself... what a treasure for a truly Lilly fan like yourself. She is such an elegant, classy woman...just beautiful!
