 Essentially Lilly July 31, 2008
Lilly is a Wonderful,Ultra Socialite, Palm Beach, Non-Conformist of a lady that is so to be admired for her grace and style!!
Her book brings such a legacy of her wit and wisdom as to how to make one feel comfortable in a home setting!
A wonderful book!
I so look forward to the next edition!!!
not my life style, but I enjoy the book anyway May 15, 2007

Okay, okay -- probably most of us don't live like Lilly. I don't have a house in Palm Beach or hundreds of close friends. But don't consider this book as "must-follow-instructions" manual. Instead, consider it worthwhile as a relaxing read and inspiration for occasions when you entertain a few friends or family. I like the photos and the arrangement of contents (collections of memories, recipes, and ideas for distinctly different entertaining occasions). I've made only a few of the recipes but they were successful and really good. I think the book is worth the price.
It's fab May 7, 2007

She even talks about Jackie O, and it has some vintage pictures of frocks from the 60's and the story of the Lilly dress.
 not too impressed August 6, 2005

i read some contents of the books, and was really interested. It turns out to be nothing special, but the illustrations are adorable. Overall i was not too impressed. Lilly seems like a Martha Steward hippie version.
Light summery fun July 21, 2005

Yes, Essentially Lilly is frothy, silly and mindless, but like a light angel food cake and berry dessert, that's what summer is about. If you like recipes and entertaining, this book is fun to flip through. One doesn't have to belong to the country club or routinely throw chic parties for a few dozen of her closest friends in order to aspire to such ideas. War and Peace it ain't, but who expected that from Lilly Pulitzer? (Maybe the last name threw some people off.) This is a pretty book with fun party and food ideas, which is sufficient entertainment for a lazy summer day either at the country club, or just dreaming about being part of that scene.
