Petiole Girl Profile: Lily G.

Lily. An Elizabeth Bennet kind of girl. Born in the house of the moon, Lily G. can throw a killer outfit together before most people can say "idon'tknowhowyoudidthat." But style, for Lily, does not stop with clothes.  My favorite photograph of Lily is one in which she is running on top of a wall of rocks -- in full stride with a cape streaming off of her back -- directly in front of a sign that says "No Running." She must have been five or six years old when the photograph was taken. 


 Lily obliged us with a few of her favorites...

Favorite Designer who I can actually Afford: Alexander Wang, Acne, Ralph Lauren. (all on consignment (!!!))
