What Rich People Like

In Palm Beach anyway...

I have never been a big fan of Lilly Pulitzer but among the Waspy Elite

(and I mean that in a good way. After all. I have been a Wasp in training all my life)

it is Hot Hot Hot!!!!!

...and for years now.

Imagine we boggies wearing this at a get together.

hahahaha

Now if you need long matches for your fireplace...

try these.

It is a nice package for sure.

And it would make a great hostess gift.

Again, not me.

Although I would use one of these.

A hoot and a half.

This is a cute pick up item for someone you know from PB that travels a lot.

So not me.

I would rather die than wear these.

But it might have something to do with the size of my butt.

I 'd wear these.

The best part of Lilly Pulitzer is the way her shop is decorated.

These are the walls and I think they are fabulous.

Do you like or no??

But if you do like her stuff here is her story, it is really a great one.

As  reported earlier this fall on ShelterPop, the team behind Lilly Pulitzer has teamed up with Garnet Hill, the catalog retailer of whimsical sheets, home furnishings and apparel. The new bedding collection will be both instantly recognizable to Lilly fans with its bold prints and brighter than bright color schemes. 

"In response to overwhelming demand from our customers, we've forged a great partnership with Garnet Hill, says Janie Schoenborn, design director of Lilly Pulitzer. "We know that Lilly customers love to decorate their home, and they love to do it in Lilly. We've developed decorative yet fun, playful prints for bedding and towels made for multi-generational appeal. It's Lilly's way of saying 'goodnight'!"
