HOLY TOLEDO + WOW WU

The two leading designers in the free world are Jason Wu and Isabel Toledo. Wu created the First Lady's beautiful gown for her 10, yes count them 10 Inaugural Ball appearances last night. The Orrico's gave two thumbs up for such a gorgeous masterpiece.

The lemon grass lace sheath and over coat First Lady Obama wore for the swearing in ceremony was from Isabel Toledo. Very Jackie O now known as Michelle O.

We salute both American designers and thank you First Lady Obama for keeping it in the country!

I See Red

The night before ringing in the New Year a few of us soireed at Donald Trumps beach cabana to benefit The Red Cross. Lilly was the theme and need I say more. It as the Jubilee Collections first big debut and the pictures speak for themselves. Take a peak from Capehart photography.

Quoted Kathie

Kathie ,worlds leading fashionista, has a great quote in the Washington Post we would love to share with you.

Michelle Obama wears it well
Style seen as accessible
Andrea Billups (At 5-feet-11 in her stocking feet, political wife Michelle Obama is supermodel tall and "the perfect mannequin" for fashion.
Since she hit the campaign trail in support of her husband last year, she has soared to the top of best-dressed lists and has been a much-in-demand cover model for women's magazines, which have touted her graceful but accessible personal style, wearing everything from upscale designers to mass-marketed H&M frocks.
For the first time perhaps, an American political figure, albeit a candidate's wife, has stepped out in garments that real-life women can purchase at the mall, and they are responding to her get-real savvy for dressing.
"I think she proves that elegance doesn't have to be expensive," observes Palm Beach stylist Cathy Orrico, whose namesake boutique C.Orrico, filled with colorful Lilly Pulitzer designs and beach-inspired apparel, has been dressing the well-heeled for years.
"It's thrilling to see her day in and day out at a realm of taste that is not a couture proposition," she said.

Lady Goodman Is "Better Than A Memory"

C. Orrico girls turn up in the most unlikely places…
Like the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction ceremony, getting an “I Wish I Wrote That Song” Award from the most legendary songwriters of our day for the two week #1 “Better As A Memory” from Kenny Chesney’s double platinum Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates.
She’s called Lady Goodman on the record – and her co-writer the handsome Travis Hill is Scooter Carusoe. In real life, she’s our good friend Holly Gleason, an original Lilly Lover – and midwifer of dreams from everyone from John Prine and Emmylou Harris to Brooks & Dunn, Patty Loveless, Lee Ann Womack and last night’s Hall of Fame inductee Matraca Berg – who was saluted with a Kim Carnes rendering of Berg’s CMA Song of the Year “Strawberry Wine.”
Not exactly where you’d expect to see us, perhaps. But when you have friends who write lines like “My only friends are pirates, it’s just who I am…,” you know they have that state of mind that marks a true C. Orrico original.

Jump for Jubilee

The November 2008 issue of T&C, our insiders bible to the well dresses and educated, has featured Lilly in the hottest trends now. The Jubilee line that was created in celebration of our Lady of the Jungles 50th anniversary is a must. A must have and a must wear for the Resort 08 season and the next fifty years. WE are sure you will be seeing this line depicted quite often in the upcoming issues of all fashion magazines. You can get the much anticipated Jubilee pieces this November at www.corrico.com .
