This months give away is featuring a bonanza of Lilly & Van merchandise!
This new line loved by celebs who are Fabulous After 40, like Gossip Girl’s Kelly Rutherford—that’s affordable and perfect for summer.
A sportswear collection that celebrates the spirit of eternal summer, Lilly & Van exudes a sunny chic vibe that’s reminiscent of Palm Beach.
Tangy tropical colors define each design and punch up your everyday casual look. Designed by husband and wife team Lilly (god daughter of Lilly Pulitzer) and Barry “Van” van Gerbig, (grandson of Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) the line offers bold and colorful prints, all of which are Van’s original designs. From dresses to shorts to tops to jackets, the line was designed to inspire happiness.
“Van’s artwork is unique. It’s bright, beautiful colors. He likes to hide little details in every print,” Lilly mentions.
The duo’s inspiration comes from Lilly’s godmother, designer Lilly Pulitzer, who set the pair up on a blind date.
The collection evokes a lifestyle of leisure and luxury while still remaining affordable.
“Everything we wanted in the line we got,” the Florida designer says of the partnership with QVC. “It’s hard being a designer; there are restraints put on you. You can’t always do what you want to do. They totally embraced our vision.”
You can also tune-in to check out Lilly & Van’s newest looks when they return to QVC on

It’s probably thanks to Michelle Obama that cardigans have become so popular, coming close to replacing jackets in many cases.
<<Remember her famous sparkle one, or
when Michelle wore a cardigan to meet the Queen?>>
We like cardigans for many reasons:
1) they’re comfy
2) they’re a great cover -up for our arms which are chilly because of all the sleeveless tops out there
3) cardigans hide any arm flab
4) they brighten up a plain outfit by adding texture, color and interest.
There are frumpy cardigans out there, for sure, but there are also so many cute ones to choose from… long, short, fitted, loose, in all kinds of knits.
Here’s a few we discovered that are only slightly different from the classic 1950′s type, but look totally modern today because of a simple tweak.
| Sweet Sweater:
It’s called the Diamond disco sweater, and we agree this “disc go really well with dis skirt!” (LOL).. Just enough glam without being over the top. What a pretty complement to the floral skirt which is so in this spring. (Nordstrom) |
 |
| Grrr..eat!
A sexy animal print and we love the modern color combo……… O.k. Here’s the “dump the frump” lesson for today.. the style of this sweater alone may scream old, but the mix of the brown and turquoise with a touch of yellow is what zips it up and transforms it into a hip and updated great find. (Nordstrom and Saks ) |
 |
| Ruffle:
Ruffles are in right now and this cardigan has just the right amount to look pretty but not baby- girlish on a grown up gal. Love this color! (Nordstrom) |
 |
| Rosy touch:
Soft and romantic this feminine cardigan stand on it’s own with jeans or be dressed up with jewelry and a pretty skirt for a night out. (Nordstrom) |
 |
| Modern Mix:
Coral and turquoise combine in modern floral pattern that brings warm skin tones to life. (Nordstrom) |
 |
| Honeycomb:
Simple and elegant.Now isn’t this nicer than wearing a big old sweatshirt around the house? (Nordstrom) |
