1960s
Lilly Pulitzer was a wealthy socialite in 1960s Palm Beach when she started making dresses both to relieve boredom and to solve a problem: Her good clothes were always getting ruined by fruit juice stains.
fashion
Those 40s housewife dresses that I loved now just sort of made me look… like a housewife.
keeping it sexy
It was so hard for me NOT to include a pun in that title.
hats
The day I found my first pillbox, I set it on top of my head and felt like a new vintage goddess.
accessories
It's less of a compulsive thing than a reverent one. I consider myself a curator of Gucci.
clown
I found them all in the same charity shop (and don’t think for a second I’m charitable enough to tell you which one), and thought they were all so utterly fabulous I couldn’t bear to leave any behind and took the lot.

60s
If you want to do this the right way, ask someone fancy. If you're lazy and bad at this kind of thing, do it my way.
