I love her style and was thrilled when my sister bought me the
Mrs Lilien cocktail swatchbook for Christmas.

 I love Design Books and I kind of have a thing for Autographed copies.  

Check out a few of my meet and greets here and here

So, as I was riding the bus to work and I saw this on Twitter 

and it all started...

I was on Cloud 9 at the thought of getting Mrs Lilien to sign my book.  

But, also I was worried she would think I was a little "stalker-ish". 

So, Country Boy and I went to Soho after work to drop off my book.  

Being Southern, I did not want to show up empty handed, so I stopped by 

Baked by Melissa to pick up a little treat for Mrs Lilien.

After we dropped off the book, I received the best tweet!

The next day we went back to retrieve the book and I was amazed at how thoughtful and sweet Mrs Lilien was to take the time to sign my beloved book. 

Although, I didn't get the opportunity to meet her, I was truly flattered!

UPDATE:

Mrs. Lilien was back in NYC last night at Bergdorf Goodman's on 5th Ave for a Restorsea Event. #restorseaatbg

So, I ran to the event after work in hopes of finally meeting her.  

(wow I look really tired) Mrs Lilien looks amazing!

She was so sweet!  So glad, I finally got to meet her!
