 "In 2007, Lilly Pulitzer returned to its socialite roots when it named Amanda Hearst and Lauren Bush as the new faces of the label. 'Amanda and Lauren both lead the life of a social butterfly, and do so in a way that exudes sophistication and class,' James Bradbeer, the president of the company, said at the time.

"If you love the look of bold magenta but are hesitant to commit to such a strong color, try a muted version. The shade used here balances the softness of a pastel with the saturation of a jewel tone. With a slightly brown undertone, the dusty magenta on the pillows, seat cushion, and lamps adds just the right dose of subtle color to a restrained and elegant room."
