Feelin' Sparks

A fireworks show, a parade, a barbecue, a picnic in the park, an extra long beach day...all fit the bill for a picture perfect Fourth of July. Whatever it is you have planned this year, there is one thing we know for certain. If you are looking for an outfit to show off your love and support for the good ol' US of A, then we've got you covered. Are you the understated, polished type looking for something simple and solid? Well we've got it. The options are endless when it comes to the LWD (little white dress), but maybe something nautical and navy is more your speed. Feeling vibrant? The Palmetto Dress in Island Coral could be the one. Do you have your heart set on going the printed route? You're in luck. We offer a whole slew of prints that scream, "USA! USA!" Our prints are patriotic but with a Lilly twist of course. Why not throw in some pink and coral among the traditional red, white and blue?

Pink Palmettes, Kara and Annie got festive for an all-American stroll through Washington, DC's Meridian Hill Park. Kara chose the Iggy Shift in Resort White Gillty which is a new, summery take on the classic Lilly shift. The cutouts around the waist take the fun levels up more than a few notches! Annie is wearing the Annabelle Top in Island Coral with True Navy Carina Shorts. The halter top is super flattering and we can't get enough of the honeycomb details around the neckline.
Iggy Shift ($198) "I absolutely love the Iggy Shift! It has a really flattering fit and is very comfortable. The waistline cutouts are so different and are such a nice touch." - Kara
Annabelle Top ($108) and Carina Shorts ($64) "I love the Annabelle top because the honeycomb detailing at the neckline is really flattering on everyone. It's the perfect top to throw on with a pair of white jeans or shorts and can make the transition from day to night with a change of accessories." - Annie
You still have plenty of time to swing by your local Pink Palm to check out all of these offerings (and more!) in person. Rumor on the street is that this week is a very GOOD week to visit us. We just may be wishing a very Happy Birthday to our country in the form of a SALE! Stop by July 1 - July 5 to see what it's all about. We are even open on July 4th from 10AM-3PM in our Alexandria, Bethesda, Charlottesville and Richmond locations.

Wherever you will be this Independence Day, we hope you will be with loved ones celebrating your pride for this amazing country of ours. Happy Fourth of July to all!

Meet Brittney | Alexandria's Store Manager

Have you been to our Old Town Alexandria store recently? Did you notice how GREAT it looks? We have the super cute and creative Brittney to thank for that! She joined our staff a few months ago as Dual Store Manager of Pink Palm and Natty Beau and we are beyond excited to have her around! Brittney is not only a merchandising genius, but also a talented artist who enjoys painting Lilly prints on fun things like cornhole boards and TOMS shoes in her spare time. Find out more about our newest Pink Palmette below and definitely stop by Pink Palm Alexandria soon to officially welcome her!

"Life is a party! ...And I love to dress like it. I've been a Lilly Lover since my early days of sun and sandy toes growing up in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. When I moved to Alexandria with my fiance and two fluffy goldens, I traded in the surfboard for barre classes and marathons around this beautiful city. When I'm not delighting in all of the wonderful Lilly looks we have at the store, I'm busy planning my Italian wedding and exciting events we have coming up at The Pink Palm. So come stop in! I can't wait to meet you."



What are some of your likes and/or hobbies?
I love to travel, paint and go to barre class!

What is the best advice you have ever been given?
“A fool with a plan can outsmart a genius with no plan any day.”

What is your favorite Lilly print of all time?
There are so many! But there is a special place in my heart for Big Squeeze and Peel and Eat!

What is your favorite movie?
I love all the Marvel movies, but Thor is my favorite!

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
To our home in Italy, it’s my favorite place in the world!




If you think life as a Pink Palmette is right up your alley, you are in luck! We are currently hiring at several of our locations!

Meet Tanya | McLean's New Assistant Manager

Introducing the lovely and talented Tanya! She is the new Assistant Manager in our McLean location. Tanya has worked as a Sales Associate at Pink Palm in the past, but now she is moving up the ranks! With her super friendly personality, great attention to detail and dedicated work ethic, we recognized early on that Tanya was management material! Lucky for us, she accepted the challenge.  Get to know Tanya a bit better below and next time you are in McLean, please stop by to say hello to her!

"Having grown up in South Carolina, I love anything related to warm weather, southern drawls, the beach, sweet tea, and sunshine...which is probably why I love working at Pink Palm so much! When I am not working, you can find me doing something outside, whether it’s listening to live music, walking around Old Town Alexandria, or enjoying a glass of champagne with friends in D.C. I love good southern barbeque, oyster roasts, and Virginia Tech football."


If you could have one super power, what would it be?
Teleportation, so I can travel the world whenever I want.

What are some of your hobbies/likes?
Traveling, brunching, champagne, playing cornhole and bocce ball on the beach, corny wedding dance moves (my go-to is the shopping cart), and a really good Mojito.

What is your favorite movie?
Top Gun...of course.

What is the best advice you have ever been given?
I once asked my Grandma how she and my Grandpa have kept such a great relationship during their 62 years of marriage, she told me “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”



Think Tanya's job could also be the job for you? The good news is that we are looking for an Assistant Manager in our Bethesda location as well! Please send your resume to pinkpalmbethesda@gmail.com if you are interested.
