ACCOLADES FOR THE LATE LILLY PULITZER...

...Who didn't love Lilly Pulitzer?  I know I did/and do.  As you know Lilly Pulitizer passed away recently.  I've always loved her colorful designs although I've never owned anything from her line.  I am just drawn to the signature pink and green, and all the other girly colors used in her clothing - and the daydream of that laid back Palm Beach life style of the rich and famous.  I do have this book:

I've had it for years and just really love looking at the sketches it contains. 

I should have bought the second book when I saw it years ago.  Now it's selling for close to $150 even on Ebay.  Guess this one will be on the wishlist for quite a long time.

I use to make me a "Lilly" skirt each summer

 

- think I''ll make a "Lilly" dress this time around.  It'll be easy pezy since it really isn't a close fit (will just have to play around with the fit through the shoulder, neck and arms).   Well, might not be all that easy pezy after all.   I might even use the new Simplicity retro  pattern.
 

Just thought I'd give some accolades to the late Lilly Pulitizer.  She did make a great impact on the fashion industry, and added a lot of color all along the way...
