Hi everyone.. Enjoying the last few hours of 2008? Steaming out that gorgeous Jubilee Dress to wear tonight?? Lilly Pulitzer wishes you and yours an adventure-filled, raucous and rowdy, Happy New Year. All the best wishes of good health and happiness for 2009.

We’re so excited for the fun to come next year as we continue to party through our 50th Jubilee celebration! Hope you’ll join us :)

Cheers to all!

Send us some pics of your New Year Parties in pink! (blog@lillypulitzer.com)

Champagne wines earn their title through strict french regulations; the grapes must be hand picked at harvest time,  the vineyards are inspected regularly and most obvious, it must hail from the Champagne region of France. I love all champagnes but not to bore you with a never-ending list here are just a few:

5 Favs for New Years Bubbly:

1.Veuve Cliquot La Grande Dame  ($185ish)

2. Krug Grand Cuvee ($130ish)

3. Bollinger Grand Annee ($135ish) * a James Bond favorite*

4. Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label ($45ish)

5. Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage ($50ish)

**Splurge a little: They say champagne tastes best when served from a magnum sized bottle ; )

Thought I’d post a pic of this great pink and green apartment building from the Gracia neighborhood in Barcelona. Just gorgeous! I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas with friends and family and that you were not stranded in an airport for the holidays! 

Cheers!

An Unexpected Tradition

Barcelona, the capital of the Catalonian region of Spain, is home to some very different holiday traditions. Unexpected and quirky (something we always appreciate at LP) we stumbled across La Canco Del Tio yesterday. A log of wood decorated like a little man that children here take care of (feed and cover with blankets) leading up to Kings Day on Jan 6th. On that day they beat him with sticks and throw him into the fire, hoping that his ashes and smoke will materialize into gifts. ** That is a VERY loose interpretation of the story, my Catalan is not very good so I may have missed some things while getting the explanation… Hoping everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season thus far!!

Cheers!

 Barcelona’s most famous artist/architect Gaudi, constructed this house on the Passeig de Gracia in 1906,  commissioned by a local bourgeois family, it now sits between Escada, Hermes and Cartier- not too shabby, when can I move in??

H-dubs has unleashed some fierce photographs featuring, canaries, mallards, snow leapords, owls and the such. Each animal has some blinding bling worthy of a queen. 

Finishing up your Christmas List ? Hit up Harry Wintson.

Incase you haven’t heard and I don’t know how you wouldn’t know by now, but we teamed up with Steinway to offer an exclusive 50th anniversay edition of the Lilly-fied Baby Grand Piano. I am musically challenged but I wouldn’t mind having one in the living room just to show off, haha.

We’d love to hear where you are traveling for the holidays! Tell us about your favorite resorts, get-a-ways, and vacas for the fam. What’s in your must have vacation wardrobe? What is your comfy plane outfit?  I’ll be Feliz Navidad-ing it in Barcelona this year and cozying up in the Clara Belle on the plane there. Where will you be?
