Lilly Pulitzer Exhibit: Keni Valenti Collection

This past Saturday I went to see the Loving Lilly: Lilly Pullitzer from the Keni Valenti Collection. The exhibit is at the Palos Verdes Art Center and will be running through this weekend (last day is September 29). I met up with Tiffany, a long time reader (I even featured her nautical wedding on the blog). It was so fun to finally meet! We attended a Lilly inspired luncheon and trunk show and then browsed the exhibit.

It was actually cool(ish) so I wore a favorite Lilly seahorse sweater. Tiffany wore a nautical maxi dress
