Lilly Pulitzer Anyone?

I hope those are clouds between the angels on the Pi Phi print but they look like flying sheep on my computer.

They look like clouds with wings...why would clouds have wings?

Or, maybe they're carnations.

I think these are all terrible, like a five-year-old made something pretty by tiling a graphic as the wallpaper on mommy's laptop.

They have Pi Phi, Zeta, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Kappa, Tri-Delt, DZ, Alpha Phi, Theta, Delta Gamma, and KD.

The designs are a little less flamboyant than Lilly, but VV is just more conservative across the board. If they had AXO, I'd totally get a piece. I wouldn't, however, get the tote--I bought one for my college (less than a year ago!) and now it's my "taking material samples in dirty old buildings" bag because it started fraying pretty early.

I bought the Alpha Chi VV bag at a conference last year (they do exist - the chapter I advise just ordered them, too). It's definitely not the best quality for the price you pay, but it's pretty understated. It doesn't scream sorority across a room.

I knew the sorority totes were available, but I haven't had the best experience with VV totes. I bought my college VV tote last year and it's pretty busted at this point--more than something that cost $100 should be after a year. I'd buy something else, but it doesn't seem that the other items are available.

The VV prints make Lilly look like art. Uniformly awful, although I definitely think ZTA's is the worst.

I think these are all way cuter than the Lilly prints. I'd get any of these over just about any of the Lilly ones.

^^^I was in the market for a new tote of some sort a few months ago, and I got the same reviews from people when I asked about them.

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!

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!
