Whether you live on the east or the west coast, for Lilly lovers, National Wear Your Lilly Day is something to celebrate. Every year National Wear Your Lilly Day is on the first day of summer, which makes it the perfect time to break out the fun prints. Here are some ways for you to celebrate National Wear You Lilly Day from anywhere.

1. Make a Lilly-inspired craft

Paint a print on a canvas or wine glass is something I want to try. There are plenty of ideas out there. You can even repurpose old Lilly into amazingly cute things!

2. Read "Essentially Lilly" to channel your inner Lilly Pulitzer

Pro tip: You can get a copy on Amazon for as low as $2 used.

3. Try a Lilly Pulitzer signature cocktail

Lilly had a few cocktails she liked to serve, like this recipe for key lime mojitos from the American Fashion Cookbook.

4. Don your "Lilly tuxedo"

Wear Lilly pants/shorts and a top, popover, or jacket at the same time? Why not, especially on this day.

5. Share an "Outfit of the Day" on social media.

You never know, maybe Lilly Pulitzer themselves will reshare it!

6. Host a Lilly themed "First Day of Summer" party

Pinterest has so many adorable ideas for Lilly Pulitzer inspired parties, or you can think of your own.

7. Change your phone background to a Lilly print

Although it probably already is, right?

8. Find a new Lilly quote you love


This one is my personal favorite but there are so many great ones!

9. Buy a new item either online or in person

You don't have to tell me twice, especially when there are gifts with purchase.

10. Have a photo shoot

Grab some of your friends and strike a pose.

11. Try out some new accessories with your favorite Lilly

That new purse may look perfect with an old favorite. You won't know until you try.

12. Take a spontaneous beach trip

Lilly herself was spontaneous so live the sunny life and spend a day near the water.

13. Search a vintage store or Etsy for a new timeless piece

14. Wear your favorite Lilly!

No matter what others may say, enjoy the sunshine and wear your Lilly proudly!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
