The canvas and stitching isn't the problem. Unfortunately the motif fabric (the band on the top) is a silk, the same that their silk ties.

I bought a Kappa bag back in 2007. The motif fabric has held up pretty well but I did fraycheck it the instant I saw wear. My daughter obtained her Pi Phi tote at the same time but she didn't fraycheck it and it is somewhat worn. Our motif was just a dark blue background with light blue fleur-de-lis as the chapter that ordered it wanted to market it to alums as well as actives. I think the Pi Phi bag had little letters and carnations and even another design.

Shes a bit pricy, but I love her designs!

Looks like they are voting after all - 6 were revealed today: VA, FL, GA, NC, SC, and MD.

Those are the states I kind of think about as "Lilly Country" anyway.

The chapter I advise is currently featured on the Lilly blog: http://blog.lillypulitzer.com/2012/0...on-university/

I'm not really a Lilly person, but I am thrilled to death with how damn cute they look.

I need your collective expertise. I need a dress by Saturday for a themed event. The theme is Derby, but I can't wear my derby dress because we will be with the same group of people. Saw a cute Lily on ebay but don't know how the sizes run. In other sizes I wear a 2 or 4, the 4 due to bra size. Can someone give me ball park on the size estimates? Thanks.

I'm in the same position as you, although probably a bit heavier, as I can go from a 2 to a 6 due to bust size, but I always wear a 2 in Lilly. Their sizing chart is actually very accurate.

Thanks NUKaydee!

Has anyone bought a LP planner? I need a new one for next school year and have struggled the last few years to find one I like. Many of my past planners are difficult to turn the pages with the rings or the pages tear. Lilly planners are more expensive than I usually spend, but if they are decent... Are they worth it?

I am on my second one and I love it! I actually find it quite reasonable for what you get - there is a ton of space in the week pages, 2 sets of calendars (I use one for work and one for personal), and the other areas are a bonus, as well!

I love my little one, although I do wish I had gotten the bigger size.

Two of the active officers at the chapter I advie carry Lilly planners and I'm getting one, because I think, after seeing theirs, that I've finally found the "perfect" planner. I'm pleased that they offer it in a soft cover now; makes it easier to pack/carry.

Only decision now: which print cover to pick?

And, it's Aug 12-Dec 13 so what do I do in January 14? Oh I'll figure it out then, I suppose.

I'm obsessed with mine. I have the large one and it's amazing.

Need. Need now. All of it. Mostly because this poor college kid can justify spending $16 on a tumbler much more easily than I can justify spending $88 on a scarf, no matter how attractive and well made said scarf is...
