Happy Birthday Lilly P!

Facebook was all abuzz yesterday with a flurry of Birthday wishes for the Grand Dame of Prep, Ms. Lilly Pulitzer herself...

And, with perfectly timed panache, Lotus and Lilly has generously offered to give away one of her clutches made with vintage Lilly fabric...

So, to make things easy on us all, theee very first commenter to correctly guess my favorite color will be the lucky ducky. It's not a shade of or a color combo, but just one of your basic kindergarten colors...

Speaking of kindergarten behavior...you know the tides have turned when you start playing copy cat to your nieces instead of visa versa. When Emma and Hilbils returned home from a recent shopping spree with the Lilly Mini Agenda I couldn't swamp out my albatross of a day planner fast enough...

And, I knew exactly which Princess to head to get my fix in a timely and well wrapped manner...

Now, if any one asks, I had it first...

Kindness of Lotus and Lilly's Kristina Krieger for her generous offer to give away a clutch. Can I tell you how tempted I am to wait up til 12:01am and comment on my own post? But since I'd probably be ratted on by the class tattle tail, Master Maxminimus, I'll refrain. I will though, open the guessing game up to friends and family. Mark...get set...GO!!! XXOO

  3. I'm guessing that PINK is your favorite color since you use it for your text and background. :-)

    Aren't the Lilly agendas terrific? Your nieces are VERY wise.

    and scary enough -- I still have the dress that matches the clutch in picture #2. no, it doesn't fit, but I still remember the cute boy that I flirted with while wearing it.

  16. So hard to choose -- white is clean and summery, your blog has a lot of pink, you seem to like blue clothes, but my choice for your favorite color is green. Green!?

  18. I knew when I looked at the clock at 12:02 I should have dashed over here to see what was going on in Allieworld!! You have to get up awfully early in the morning to line up ahead of PVE but I'll take a shot and say your favorite color is green. I'll be checking out the agenda later today, as well, because my current day planner is looking like a NYC phone book.

  19. DingDingDingDing!!! I have finally roused myself from bed and figured I better announce the winner before I left for my run otherwise my inbox would be outta control upon my return. Sooo...Congratulations to Mary Anne with the very first correct answer of green! Thank you to everyone who commented...XXOO

    ps...Emma, Hilary, MOM! What can I say other than, disappointing. Très disappointing.

  20. I might sound a bit confused, but is it the Birthday of the Lilly Pulitzer company? I was under the impression that Ms. Pulitzer herself had a November birthdate. If not, we've been having our pink and green brunches during the wrong month for over five years.

  21. I'm sorry but I still think it's blue. ;)
