Well, yesterday the doyenne of preppy style passed away. Not being American it took me a little while to discover Lilly Pulitzer but when I did I felt a certain kinship with this woman. She was all about bright prints, shift dresses and was a lover of the classic preppy combo of pink & green (you know, hot pink & kelly green). One of my favourite bloggers (based in Boston) wrote a great blog post on her with her own very cute personal story. It's worth a read and can be found here.

One of my favourite Lilly quotes is this:

“Style isn’t just about what you wear, it’s about how you live.”
