Whom You Know Celebrates Our 15,000th Post with Lilly Pulitzer by The Lifeguard Press! Life Is Better In Pink & Green! The Lilly Pulitzer Personalized Large Serving Tray Has Earned Whom You Know's Highest Recommendation.
Peachy and Lilly at their Miss Porter's reunion in the library
Anyone with discriminating taste knows that the pink and green color combination is perfection, and Lilly Pulitzer made it famous. We met her twice-one in Bloomingdale's in New York and once at our Miss Porter's reunion in Farmington-Lilly was a "9" and Peachy is a "4". (The Bloomingdale's picture is far back in Peachy's personal archives before she had a digital camera.) It would be a great understatement to say we admire her style; they say imitation is the best form of flattery and though we do not aim to imitate her or be a designer, we have loved everything she did. Though we only met her those two times, Lilly was a sincerely nice person. The above picture we mailed to her and she personally wrote back. The returned autographed picture that's been up on Peachy's wall since the day she got it back in a pink and green grosgrain ribbon frame (Peachy made it. Of course, the frame needed to be appropriate.) It is signed:
"Yeah, Team!! xx Lilly"
Yeah, team right back at you up in heaven, 15,000 times for good luck, not that you need it.
There are many terrific Lilly designs to choose from at The Lifeguard Press and picking just one is not easy. However, we know you all want to see some leg this summer so here you go, and we do love flamingoes! This tray can be personalized and monogrammed, which we highly recommend. Anything is better monogrammed. Gimme Some Leg is a gorgeous design and the summery cheer will carry you through the darkest winter days and even rainy summer ones. It is made well with handles on the side and the ideas for using this are endless. Peachy threw out her old inbox. It was not fun and it was not pink and green and it seemed like work. This is her new one and it is front and center right here.
The excitement begins when the box arrives. Even the box is beautiful.
More pink and green before you get to the enclosed tray:

And seriously, why stop at the tray? You are going to want everything Lifeguard Press makes in Gimme Some Leg. You can personalize your ice bucket, get a small tray for all your makeup in your bathroom (although with our beauty products we may need a cabinet), and use a Gimme Some Leg recipe box. We just talked about those index cards-maybe Marion Dougherty could have used this check out her 3x5's! The bottom line is flamingoes make people happy just like Lilly and the Lifeguard Press do in emblazoning them with panache.
Lillyisms:
"Anything is possible with sunshine and a little pink.”
“Style isn’t just about what you wear, it’s about how you live.”
“It's always summer somewhere.”
“If you haven’t any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.”
“Being happy never goes out of style.”
“I designed collections around whatever struck my fancy ... fruits, vegetables, politics, or peacocks!”
“I didn't set out to be unusual or different. I just wanted to do things my way.”
“That’s what life is all about: Let’s have a party. Let’s have it tonight.”
“Jackie [Kennedy] wore one of my dresses – it was made from kitchen curtain material – and people went crazy.”
On rainy days like today we also recommend you use this umbrella:
