I'm so excited that an actual Lilly Pulitzer store FINALLY opened up in Rhode Island. Granted; we have the Watch Hill Store (which is only open seasonally) & Anchored in Pink (which is pretty far from most of us- In Newport, RI). So I was ECSTATIC to be in the area yesterday and went in to check it out!
To my surprise they actually opened the day before! I was greeted by an enthusiastic gentlemen who welcomed me to Lilly. They had macaroons, Lilly's a juice, cookies and other goodies for customers.
The store itself looked really beautiful and the decor and ambiance was very coastal chic. My only issue was the selection of items was extremely limited. I think it was because they had just opened- the previous day- but still they should have had a lot more in terms of options.
They had a lot of the new prints & styles that had just come out like yesterday- but I wanted specific styles that were basically new- so unfortunately I did not purchase anything!
But I will definitely be back in the future for the grand opening in May possibly! And now when I need a Lilly item & want to try it on- I just have to drive 30 mins instead of an hour! Can't wait until they have more inventory & they are established! read more
