We left our favorite Mexican restaurant Sunday afternoon and The Mister gently told me that Lilly Pulitzer died. I wasn’t happy. I like a colorful and resourceful lady. (The link is from the New York Times article on her life. I suggest it.)
She became a fashion icon for her tropical, wildly colored shift dresses and the brand was revived in 1993. A home line followed. There as a partnership with Lee Jofa and I kept a couple of the ads because I loved them so.
I love gingham. I like it on the walls in both the photo above and below. However, I probably prefer it on a larger scale.
I will have gingham walls – someday. I’m gonna have to do them myself or hire someone because The Mister says they look complicated. They do look complicated and that’s the reason they’ve not happened already. But they will.
I’ve had four posts that have featured Lilly Pulitzer’s style and brand: the home collection, Lonny’s article and inspirational photos, gingham walls and the color pink. I encourage you to look at photos of her creations, if you need a little pep in your style.
