Lilly Pulitzer – known for her bright colorful dresses, separates, and accessories – will be hosting a cocktail reception in partnership with SeaWeb on Thursday, October 29 to celebrate the launch of the brand’s coral-inspired Resort 2009 collection. The event will also mark the commencement of a year-long Lilly Goes Green campaign.



Open to the public, guests will have the opportunity to sip Pink Lilly’s while they shop the collection, which includes the Coral Me Crazy medallion necklace. Ten percent of the necklace’s proceeds will be donated to SeaWeb and their coral-conservation efforts. Guests can also do their part by visiting tooprecioustowear.org and signing the Coral Pledge to help safeguard corals for future generations.
