Prepare for the Prep

Lilly prints are de rigeur in Palm Beach and New England, as well as certain parts of the Upper East Side. While some of the prints can be a little, well, much, the cotton dresses are really cute and just buying a Lilly accessory or two will add some much needed, preppy-approved colour to your outfit. And if it all does feel a little too much, head downtown to Tory Burch, which is a Manhattan take on New England prep. PS: for some great interior shots, check out this blog. Lilly Pulitzer, 1020 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10021. Phone: (212) 744-4620.
