Above are my latest prints for Lilly Pulitzer's Resort 2011 collection. The theme for the season is Jungle Glam! All of the prints have a very old Hollywood meets Palm Beach feel. The leaves are bold, pretty and overgrown. Resort is our MOST CHIC season, I'm so happy it is here!

Oceana Event

2011-10-30T06:41:00.000-07:00

I had such a wonderful time at the Oceana event in Southhampton this summer. Behind me is the coral painting I did at the event which was auctioned off for the cause. In true Lilly form, after our work was done, the night was ended with a great dance party!

Fall 2011 Prints

2011-08-12T07:19:00.000-07:00

Bravissimo

Lace You There

Bravissomo and Lace You There are two of my newest prints for the Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line. Bravissimo was inspired by my love of ikat patterns (done in a lilly sort of way) and Lace You There is printed ponte based on intricate lace patterns. It is always a challenge to do Lilly for fall but I am loving the line. We just wrapped up designing Fall 2012 (top secret) and it is looking fabulous too!

I featured a similar image image of the LP fabrics coming out for Lee Jofa a few weeks ago but had to post this picture because it's so much better. My "Lace by the Docks" print is on the chair and my "I Dahlia" print is on the ottoman and throw pillows. I'm looking forward to the fabrics becoming available this summer!

SCAD recently wrote an article about my old coworker Torie and me. It is a fun story about our experiences at the Savannah College of Art and Design and how I ended up getting hired to work for Lilly Pulitzer. You can see the article here!

Lilly Pulitzer's New Ardmore Store

2011-03-13T16:58:00.000-07:00

Here is the third of three toiles that I have painted in a Lilly Pulitzer shop. It is in our Ardmore, PA store so it is made up of buildings, schools and special places all along the main line.

Hanging out in the toile dressing room at the Ardmore Grand Opening. I am wearing one of my newest prints, "First Impression."

The front room of the Ardmore store has a cluster of crystal chandeliers in front of the entrance. I painted chandeliers all over the walls and added touches of gold leaf for an extra sparkle.

Lonny Mag

2011-01-12T15:12:00.000-08:00

Lonny Magazine visited the Lilly print studio the other week and I could not have been more thrilled. I adored Michelle and her team, they are so sweet, fun and talented. Below are some images from the article, you can check out the complete article here.

I painted this enormous painting behind the model for the spring 2011 photo shoot. It is a painting of one of my prints that is coming out this spring called "It Can be Arranged."

We showed Lonny how we take a print from start to finish. To the left is my original painting called "First Impression." The cleaned and scanned version is in the middle and the dress to the right is the finished result.

Hong Kong

2010-12-12T18:15:00.000-08:00

I recently traveled to Hong Kong to meet some of Lilly's vendors and visit a few printing mills. Hong Kong is such an amazing city, there is so much to explore. I think I just skimmed the surface with the two free days I had to wander the city.

Blaring Sirens

2010-11-18T17:06:00.000-08:00

Blaring Sirens is one of my new prints for the Lilly Pulitzer Resort 2011 line. These are not sweet mermaids, they are sassy sirens, wear them with attitude!

Muzzy

2010-09-19T12:59:00.000-07:00

I recently lost my lovely grandmother Jeune Ruen (Muzzy). I feel the need to write about her because her style has had such a large influence on me. Muzzy was inherently chic, she wore hot pink lipstick, ivory jewelry and a bracelet with a jade elephant charm. Whenever we visited Muzzy there were jars filled with sweets and we would drink shirley temples with lots of maraschino cherries. She loved Frank Sinatra, especially "My Funny Valentine." She enjoyed watching her birds in her backyard, gardening, playing bridge and reading. When my sister and I were in College, we would drive to Palm Beach for the weekends and Muzzy would take us to Cafe L'Europe for champagne filled lunches. She collected beautiful artwork and drove a pink Cadillac in the 60's. Her hair was the prettiest shade of white, I used to think it looked like ice cream. She bought me my first Lilly Pulitzer dress and is probably one of the reasons I work there now. She was very honest, sometimes too honest, which we always laughed about. She loved parties and entertaining, a skill she passed down to all of her daughters. Mostly, Muzzy wanted to please her family and make everything beautiful, and she always did.

The illustration above is a collection of some of Muzzy's favorite things. The photo above is from my last visit with Muzzy in Palm Beach

goodbye summer!

2010-09-14T17:41:00.000-07:00

Here is a little illustration I did that reminds me of summer, I haven't really let go because it is still so warm out, but fall is coming...

2010-08-22T16:42:00.000-07:00

This is one of my new prints for fall called "it's getting hot in here." The print is filled with fans, I can't wait to get a dress in it!

Lilly Pulitzer KOP store makeover

2010-08-16T18:49:00.000-07:00

The print team recently gave the King of Prussia Lilly Pulitzer store some extra charm. Above is the Philadelphia Toile I painted in one of the dressing rooms.

Kappa Kappa Gamma

2010-08-06T13:53:00.000-07:00

We recently did sorority collections at Lilly Pulitzer. I did the Kappa Kappa Gamma print shown above in the sorority colors with keys, iris's and owls. I wasn't in a sorority but my sister Shaw was a kkg!

Ah Summer

Here are some of Janie's favorite items from Lilly's current resort collection. I whipped up these illustrations for the website, I always love an excuse to draw outfits and accessories!

Gobble Wobble...and more resort prints!

2009-11-30T15:47:00.000-08:00

Wearing my print at the 3rd Annual Gobble Wobble in Bloomfield Hills, MI. The Gobble Wobble is a fundraiser put on the Friday after Thanksgiving every year to benefit a local Detroit Charity. Anne Carney (left) and Liz Vollman (right) were two of the hostesses. I was part of the original committee two years ago and sadly am not involved anymore as I live in Philadelphia. However, with the help of the Lilly Somerset shop, Lilly Pulitzer donated a bunch of goodies and a gift certificate for the raffle.

In the Slim

2009-11-01T14:32:00.000-08:00

"Originals" are finally here. This is a collection of garments that embody the fun of Lilly Pulitzer. I was like a kid in a candy shop when I first saw them in stores. I told my co-worker "They look so good I want to eat them" and he responded "They are calorie free!" They are classics, pieces that you can wear forever and pass on. They are all about print. I designed the "In the Slim" print shown here, it is one of my first prints offered in dresses, pants, skirts and accessories. It is SOO fun to see people wearing it!

2009-10-13T06:10:00.000-07:00

My friend Nini and I are having a Halloween party and I am VERY excited about it. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because you can have so much fun with it and just be silly. Above is the invite I illustrated, Nini wrote the cute poem. I'm still debating what to be, any ideas?

Time Flies

2009-09-20T17:14:00.000-07:00

I love our Lilly stationary...and my "Trouble" print is featured here on this 2010 agenda. The inside has a different print for each month and wonderful little details throughout. "Trouble" is also on a frame, magnetic board, travel mug, note pads, stationary and will come in children's clothes this resort season.

My First Lilly Print

2009-06-26T11:47:00.000-07:00

Here is my first design to be sold in stores since I have worked at LP. It is an exclusive toile we did for Bloomingdale's in NYC featuring different scenes on the "Little Island." It comes in a tunic for ladies and children, I can't wait to spot someone sporting it!

A Virginia Weekend

2009-05-05T17:59:00.000-07:00

I had the nicest weekend in beautiful Virginia after a print event in Richmond with fellow print designer and friend Torie Davis. Highlights were the Jefferson Hotel, Historic Williamsburg and visiting UVA in Charlottesville.

Bloomie's WIndows!!!

2009-04-29T18:02:00.000-07:00

It is a little hard to see, but the tiny lemonade stand in the Bloomingdale's window is a blown up illustration of mine! I am soo happy that Lilly is in the windows and looking SO COOL.

I'm off to Richmond with fellow print designer Torie Davis tomorrow. We are painting at the Lilly store for an event and then exploring the city. I am looking forward to experiencing Richmond, I hear it is so charming! We are staying at the Jefferson which looks amazing! I will update soon!

My Illustration for Lilly on Martha

2009-04-22T17:11:00.000-07:00

The Martha Stewart show did an entire show based on Lilly Pulitzer and Palm Beach style. The models from our fashion show are pictured above with Martha.

Palm Beach Gardens

2009-04-17T18:55:00.000-07:00

This is the very early stages of one of the dressing rooms of the Lilly Pulitzer store that just opened in the Palm Beach Gardens mall today. The final product looks amazing with real birdcages hanging, pink cushions with white piping on the bench, Lilly printed pillows and bright green carpeting.

Here is one of my illustrations I did for the layout of the Palm Beach Gardens store entrance. It was fun to see it come to life!

We like to throw a party.

Don't feed the animals (or designers)

2009-03-10T18:57:00.000-07:00

Lilly Pulitzer is going to be on Martha Stewart tomorrow and to celebrate we are throwing a party in the Madison Ave store. All of the print designers will be painting on site. I haven't seen it in person yet but the idea is that two designers will be painting in the window as a sort of live art while making art. This should be interesting...

Lilly Print Event at C.Orrico

2009-02-19T18:30:00.000-08:00

I had the most wonderful time painting at C.Orrico in Palm Beach last weekend. All of the Orrico sisters are so much fun and had a keg and hot dogs grilling for customers all day. The Lilly lovers I met were amazing and told me all about their prized pieces. Lilly Pulitzer dropped by which was of course a highlight. Torie and I painted from 11 am to 7:30pm...we went through at least 50 paintings! Stay tuned for the next print event...The Martha Stewart Show!!

Post Cards

2009-02-10T16:19:00.000-08:00

I think this painting is so charming. My Aunt Heidi sent me a post card of it from the Toledo Museum of Art. It's titled "After the Meeting" and is by Cecilia Beaux. Heidi is so cute, she wrote "Somehow I like the combo of this chintzy chair and black stripe!" I totally agree with her!

If i designed outerwear...

2009-02-08T12:47:00.000-08:00

Every once in a while I wish I was a fashion designer, mostly so I could design things for myself and then go back to painting and designing prints. I wish someone could make the above cape for me in navy blue cashmere...

A snowy morning in Rittenhouse Square...

2009-02-08T12:40:00.000-08:00

It was so nice to walk through the park covered in snow the other morning. I love that there was already a snowman made at 8 am.

SAVE THE DATE

2009-02-07T20:46:00.000-08:00

My sister Shaw is getting married this year and I couldn't be happier for her and Will! Here is the save the date card that I illustrated for them.

The Philadelphia Story

2009-02-07T17:58:00.000-08:00

Have you seen "The Philadelphia Story?" I watched this movie when I first moved to Philadelphia and fell in love with it. It's beautiful to watch and has the most amazing cast.

The Colony Hotel

I feel so lucky to be working as a print designer for Lilly Pulitzer. We have so much fun every day! There is no other place like "the pink palace" (how we lovingly refer to the office which is in fact pink). One of my favorite parts about my job is going on inspiration trips to Palm Beach. Above are pictures from our last trip. I will be going down again next week to paint for an event at C. Orrico on Valentine's Day!

Texture Mapping with Black and White Floral

2007-11-22T21:14:00.000-08:00

I love the instant gratification of texture mapping, it allows you to get an idea of what the finished product might look like and to determine the proper scale. I found this picture in a Martha Stewart Living magazine, the walls were originally a rosy hue but I think the floral adds a little punch.
