Calling all Lilly Pulitzer Fans in Raleigh

For Lilly Pulitzer fans, there are some Raleigh stores and boutiques that carry her colorful designer prints and patterns. You can find her signature bright pink prints that I call Palm Beach Pink, mixed with dark lime green clothing at Belk Department Stores, Nowell’s Clothing, and Palm Avenue at Cameron Village.

Recently 9 celebrity moms including Gwyneth Paltrow, Marcia Cross, and Brooke Shields designed some Lilly Pulitzer styles.

Oh, and Lilly doesn’t just make clothing, she also has print accessories and stationery that you can find at places like Swoozie’s. There are a couple Swoozie’s stores in Raleigh. I really like prints and patterns in general because they’re interesting and unique. Lilly’s colors and patterns remind me of Florida relaxed elegant clothing which is where her inspiration comes from.

Any Martha Stewart show followers out there? There was an episode a few weeks ago to celebrate 50 years of Lilly Pulitzer. There was a full Lilly Pulitzer dressed audience and a fun fashion show.

To celebrate in Raleigh, the Palm Avenue Store is having a sneak peak vintage Lilly garment debut or “retrospective jubilee” as they describe. I’m not exactly sure what that means for customers, but if you’re a big Lilly follower I think it’s worth looking into. It’s advertised on May 1st and May 7th from 5pm-9pm.
