Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau passed away peacefully yesterday morning at her home in Palm Beach at the age of 81. Her colorful way of living has inspired me every day for years. This beautiful woman turned her depression into a juice stand, which turned into a line of dresses, which turned into a way of life. She leaves a legacy that I know will continue to keep the fashion world cheery and bright for years to come.
Life’s a party, dress like it.
I was saddened to hear the news as her pieces have brought so much cheer and color into my life as well xo
She was such an inspiration and will be sorely missed! This is a great quote to feature – I feel like it encapsulates so much of what she stood for.

Crazy to hear – I had no idea! So sad, but her legacy will definitely live on.

This was such sad news. She truly was (and still is) the Queen of Prep.
I love her colorful pieces. I was sad to hear the news this morning!

I find it appropriate that I just bought my first Lilly dress (whilst consulting you). So sad to hear the news 🙁
Very sad, but she leaves quite the legacy
Such a sad day, but she’s left quite a legacy behind! That has to be one of my very favorite lilly quotes!
