Lilly Pulitzer Summer Remix

Lilly Pulitzer Summer Remix

Between National Wear Your Lilly Day and yesterday’s National Pink Day, I bet your social media has been positively flooded with all kinds of bright and cheerful outfits. Pencil me in for one more because as soon as I saw this Lilly Pulitzer slip dress, I knew I just had to get in on the fun (again). I occasionally chat about my love for this company, but this latest collection is something truly special. It was dubbed the Summer Remix Collection. They went into the vault to bring back five of their most popular prints and one “new” patchwork. Let’s meet the prints!

  • Skinny Dippin’: Of course I should start out with my personal favorite! Originally released in 2011, this print is one of their most scandalous. It’s probably why I love it so! Be on the lookout for some cheeky (pun intended) imagery in a perfect summer scene. Although the color is more vibrant than the original, it will still look amazing with a suntan and white accents. I actually own three pieces from the original, but if you really want me to go crazy for this print, I think it should come in a blue color scheme!
  • Into The Deep: This print is the most recent flashback, from 2016. Made up of a gorgeous combination of different sea critters, it’s the main color of the print that really blows me away. Seriously, the blue is a showstopper! Including pieces for infants and young girls, this print would look absolutely amazing for a summer time family portrait.
  • In The Beginning: If you want to buy a piece that is quintessential Lilly, this is the pattern it should come in! As the name implies, it tells the story of the brand’s beginning with the iconic words, “it all started with a juice stand.” The print is more pastel than the original, but equally as pretty. This print is the ultimate tribute to the namesake’s legacy.
  • Red Right Return: There is no limit to how many pieces I could own in this pattern. Can you really blame me though? This nautical print is just begging to be worn, especially around patriotic holidays. Probably the most casual print in the new collection, they offer three fun dresses, a romper for you and your little one, plus matching long-sleeve tees that will make a great beach cover-up.
  • Coronado Crab: This print is ten years young, but just as pretty as ever. It was originally part of the Jubilee collection to mark the company’s 50th anniversary and was wildly popular. To make a statement, you can grab this print in a daring maxi-romper or keep it casual with a button-down shirt dress. Either way, you can’t go wrong!
  • Summer Remix Patchwork: And finally, the pièce de résistance. This stunning patchwork is a compilation of twelve beloved prints. Some of them are listed above while others hopefully are in the process of coming back for a second life. All of the colors blend together to create something that is truly unique and one-of-a-kind Lilly Pulitzer. If you get only one piece from this entire collection, I highest suggest Summer Remix! Don’t wait though! I have it on good authority that this print is flying off the rack!

Wearing Lilly Pulitzer is sometimes the first sign of summer and is supposed to invoke a time of joy and good times. No matter what print from this latest collection you pick, you’ll accomplish all of that and then some! Which pattern will you pick?

Love from NYC,
Katie

Summer is, by leaps and bounds, my favorite season. School is out, the weather is beautiful, and I get to celebrate some of my favorite holidays (plus my birthday). Since I’m a teacher, I also tend to view summer as an opportunity for new beginnings. The old school year is done and I get set goals and resolutions for the next one.

Between getting married, honeymooning, graduating with my Master’s degree, and moving to New York, last summer was a complete whirlwind. I’m so excited to lay, somewhat, low and enjoy my first full summer in the city. That being said, I like to keep myself busy and goal-oriented. Check out my summer bucket list below and follow along in the adventures!

Exploring Governors Island

Exploring Governors Island

Just a quick 10 minute ferry ride from FiDi is Governors Island, a little oasis away from the concrete jungle. Although this island has had different roles, including military base, it is now open to the public everyday May through October.

The ferry itself runs very efficiently, about every half hour, and only costs $3 for a round trip. Catch the ferry before noon on Saturday or Sunday and your trip is free. If nothing else, you can use the ferry to get out on the water and see fantastic views of the skyline. Once you get to Governors Island, it’s a case of ‘Choose Your Own Adventure.’ Which one will you pick?

  • Grab a cocktail, a snack, and a view! As soon as you land, you are greeted by a few restaurant right next to the dock and throughout the island. After spending the early morning walking around and exploring, stopping at the Island Oyster was such a treat. Relax under the yellow striped cabana and enjoy the space that has been nominated for ‘Best Restaurant Design’ by the James Beard Foundation. Elsewhere on Governors Island, you will also find a Joe Coffee, People’s Pop, and Threes Brewing to help you escape the heat.

  • Spend the night in style! Camping on Governors Island has never been more glamorous. Located on the western part of the island, and with perfect views of the Statue of Liberty, are a Collective of tents that are available to rent. Combing the luxuries of home with the great outdoors, campers will enjoy some peace and quiet without ever leaving New York City.

  • Party like it’s 1920! A few times each summer, Governors Island hosts their Jazz Age Lawn Party. Dress up in your favorite flapper ensemble and get read to dance the Charleston. The day of my visit was also the day of the party. I absolutely loved seeing all of the vintage-inspired style. It looked like quite a soiree and I may have to join in the fun for myself next time.
  • Get out and explore! Wear your comfiest workout gear and get ready to break a sweat. An entire loop around the island is about 2.2 miles. You’ll want to take plenty of stops to take in the view. You can also opt to take the adventure on two wheels, either with your own bike or by renting a Citi Bike right on the island. For the kid at heart, you should also check out Slide Hill which boasts the longest slide in NYC.

If you need a super quick and easy afternoon away from the city, exploring Governors Island should be your pick! It was exactly what the doctor ordered to stop, take a breath, and enjoy some fresh air. If you’ve made your own trip, be sure to let me know about it in the comments below.

Love from NYC,
Katie
