Lily Pulitzer at Home

I am really enamored with the Lily Pulitzer home collection.  I couldn't see decorating a whole room in the bright, playful prints, just like I couldn't see wearing a whole outfit by Lily.  But a little Lily goes a long way... a pop of it really packs a punch!

The furniture collection is marvelous, well designed, and fashion forward.  Each piece is strong enough to stand on its own.  But honestly, I think it is more exciting edited down a bit.

What I am particularly interested in at this moment are Lily Pulitzer's cleverly designed storage pieces.

They have really been thinking about the need for clever storage solutions, or prettying up some basic stand bys ~

These will brighten up the ole mud room or pantry ~

A shoe ottoman, a clever little multi-tasker ~

If that's not enough storage, you can upgrade to the shoe cabinet ~

Is it 5:00 yet?

and just because bill paying SHOULD be a little more glamorous ~

Consider some colorful options when thinking about the mundane!

Lovely Lilly

I was introduced to so many exciting things at Blogfest which I will be introducing you to for as long as it takes.  Hot off the press:  Lee Jofa has been busy collaborating with designers to bring an aesthetic to the marketplace that is innovative and fresh.  Well, Lilly Pulitzer is fresh as a cool breeze on a hot, lazy afternoon.

What do you do when you have oranges?  You make orange juice.  And what do you do when you spill said orange juice on yourself?  You make shift dresses to disguise the stain.  That Lilly was a smart girl!  It all starts with an idea!  Fifty years later, Lilly is moving indoors.  Why didn't any one think of this sooner?

Everything starts with an inspiration board ~

Did you know the word Lilly is incorporated into every fabric pattern?  I didn't.  It is shown in marker below just so you can see how well it's hidden

A beautiful vignette was set up in the showroom.  For me personally, a little goes a long way; but it is fresh, flirty and fun.  Wonderful embroidery, ginghams, florals, trellis and coral prints are among Lilly's most popular patterns.

All these fabulous fabrics should be rolling into the showrooms any day.  There are many more wonderful collaborations to come.  I think this is just the tip of the iceberg.

What do you think of the Lilly Pulitzer fabric collection?
