Revenge and Lilly Pulitzer

Did anyone else notice the Lilly Pulitzer dresses on the show Revenge last night?

Emily Thorne's (actually Amanda Clarke) childhood character was seen wearing a Lilly Grettle bathing suit in one scene and the Shorley Blue Paint By Numbers Little Lilly in another scene with her father.  She was also spotted wearing the Let the Eat Cake Lolly dress.  If I'm not mistaken, I also believe I saw a couple of Lilly dresses at the Grayson's Memorial Day fundraiser party.

What do these clothing choices say about Revenge....it is the newest preppy-socialite sitcom of the season and I'm hooked!  It's as if one of my socialite novels came to life on my television screen and I am loving it!  With betrayal, revenge, love and vengeance all playing out on the shores of the Hamptons, this new show is bound to take twists and turns as we delve into Emily's (or is it Amanda's) past.  After all she did grow up in the Hamptons, but no one, not even Victoria Grayson, dubbed "Queen Victoria" knows this is the long lost child of her former neighbor.
  
Husband even enjoyed it and I think he understands why I couldn't put down The Overnight Socialite 
or Social Lives.

In other news and while we're on the subject of Lilly.

Now that I'm going to Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau's Birthday Brunch with several lovely ladies (hopefully some of you), I'm starting to think about what I'm going to wear!  There are so many adorable Lilly dresses and not knowing whether it's going to be blazing hot or slightly cool (and cool to South Florida is chilly 75)....I just don't know!  Here are my current favorites.

Augusta Dress via Lilly Pulitzer

Ava Dress via Lilly Pulitzer
I just love the Multi Casting Call print (in below dress and skirt).

Bianca Dress via Lilly Pulitzer

So many choices!  Thank goodness I have a couple months to decide

(*cue Husband saying "and you're going to pay for these 'how?'"*)  Heehee.....
Happy Weekend Y'all!

  7. Good morning from Los Angeles!

    Jennifer, it's been forever, and I'm sorry I haven't dropped by to say hello recently. I *loved* Revenge. I did love the clothes, naturally, but the pilot really jumped right in. Goodness Queen Victoria is a cold one...not that I blame her for being so icy after what she learned at her charity auction. Have fun choosing a wonderful ensemble for your luncheon! I bet you'll loko fab.

    Warmly,

    Elizabeth
