With Spring just around the corner, I’m feeling more and more of an urge to add bright colors and prints to my closet. You can take the girl out of Florida, but you will never take the Florida out of the girl. This little dress from Lilly Pulitzer is a great transition from the cooler weather, especially when you live in the city. The long sleeves make it perfect for this in-between sort of weather and the print is much more subtle than what you would normally expect from Lilly. The dress style is called Ophelia and it has been one of my favorites for a while. With a stretchy material and swing shape, it’s both incredibly comfortable and flattering.
If have that same impulse to brighten up your apartment or house, then this new collaboration is just for you. Lilly Pulitzer has teamed up with Pottery Barn once again to create a whole collection of sweet and sunny pieces that could work for any home. Ranging from accents to bedding and all the way to furniture, it’s so tempting to not completely redecorate my entire NYC apartment.
A fun fact about me… I actually worked in retail for Lilly Pulitzer for three years. It definitely explains why I will always have a place in my heart for the brand. Surprisingly, the top questions I would be asked weren’t about clothing, but about home decor! So many ladies out there want to bring those Lilly prints into their own home, much to their husband’s chagrin.
Yesterday, Lilly and Pottery Barn (plus PB Teen and Pottery Barn Kids) celebrated the collaboration with a bang in Tribeca! The soiree included everything you would expect: bright colors, fun motifs, and an iconic juice stand. You could even go pineapple bowling, get your hair braided, and color a wall. Pretty much, it was the spot to be! More importantly, it was also a great opportunity to preview all of the new goodies from Pottery Barn. If you want so shop my favorite pieces, be sure to take a look at my picks below. What do you want to grab for your home?
Love from NYC,
Katie
