Bungalows at the Breakers

theprepinpink / / Comments

Have you ever wanted to take a take a trip inside an exclusive bungalow at The Breakers? Well follow me for a sneak peek into a perfect day by the pool. Currently I work for this prestigious hotel and one of the best job perks is being able to book a bungalow for a great rate.  It’s a sweet summertime escape! The pool and beach area is only accessible to hotel guests, so it’s a perfectly private place to relax.

I like to bring my best babes on a summer day to sip on frose’ and soak up some sun. These cabanas  have everything you could need, from luxury amenities to lovely lounges, where you are able to enjoy an epic ocean view. What a chic retreat!

After laying out in the heat, I like to head over to the pool for a quick dip. If you prefer, you can make your way over to the bar for some light bites and frozen drinks. Finally, take a stroll down the beautiful sandy beaches and wade into in the ocean waves.

At the end of the afternoon I love to grab a drink to go and take a dip in the hot tub before the sun sets. It’s a wonderful end to a picture perfect day at The Breakers, Palm Beach.

Bikinis in the Keys

“Key Largo, Montego, baby why don’t we go…?” We did! My sister and I were seeking some sunshine and looked towards the keys for a mini vacay. She grabbed her boyfriend and I snagged the puppy, and we hit the beach.

We started off at Marina del Mar Resort, and were upgraded to a suite with a view of the pool and the port. I couldnt wait to have a margarita next door at Skipper’s Dockside. We listened to live music and relaxed by the fire pit with the pup.

When nighttime rolled around we made our way to the local dive bar down the street, Sharky’s. We picked tunes on the jukebox and played some pool, it was definitely a party.

The next day we headed to the hot tub and tanned. We wanted to hit the sand so we headed to the state park. It ended up to be a bust so we bought snorkels and we were off to The Bungalows. This is a brand new exclusive resort by the beach. Unfortunately they were booked without daypasses, but we are totally taking a trip here next time.

Riding down the road we stumbled upon a hidden gem called Baker’s Cay. We rolled in and lucked out as they let us spend the day there, and even bring the dog!

This place was basically a passport to paradise. I’ve never experienced such a serene scene. The beach was a private little cove with crystal clear water. They had rose’ and fruity drinks at the tiki hut and there were tons of water toys. To top it off there was an amazing beachside restaurant with the tastiest treats.

We spent the next couple days at Baker’s Cay, floating  around and sipping on sunshine. Once the sun was set, we were sad to say goodbye, but we cant wait to come back this summer!

Heading into 2019, I am already making my resolutions a reality. I have always dreamed of living in Florida and working for Lilly, and I am proud to announce that I have already made both these dreams come true!

The stars suddenly aligned as I took a chance and applied for the Lilly Pulitzer store at the Breakers. I have been envisioning myself in this setting for a year since I first set my sights here. After my visit to this dreamy destination, I did everything in my power to steer my life towards south Florida.

Everything fell into place when my interviews one day turned into a job acceptance that afternoon. I was in disbelief as I came to realize that this step was the first towards the rest of my life. Everything was about to change, and this time it was just for me.

I packed my bags and hit the road with a backseat full of boxes and the rest in the rear view. It was then that it sank in that its been a year since the car accident that turned my world upside down. This job, this move, this drive… has turned my life right side up again, in the direction I’ve always dreamed of.

Making it to Palm Beach and moving in with my big sister in our dream apartment on the water, I have never felt more at home. I love where my life has led me, and it truly showed me that all this time of developing in the darkness, I truly found my light!

 

Special thanks to  everyone who helped me through this past year

and guided me to my greatest goal. I cant wait to see what the new year has in store!

Floating on Folly

As you may know, being a coastal girl in the Carolinas, I always have to be close to the ocean. So when I heard my cousins were about to be Folly bound, I knew I had to tag along for the trip.

We rented a beach house for the weekend, with just a short walk to the water. The best part was having our own personal pool full of my favorite floats.

While my family hit the beach for a fishing trip, I floated the day away and soaked up some sun. It was the perfect day to play beneath the palms.

When the sun started to fade, we made our way to Chico Feo for tacos. I love this laid back spot to sip and see with locals and listen to live music. We headed downtown to dance the night away, but I couldn’t wait to be back in my dream suite. It was hard to leave this poolside pad, but I am always looking forward to my next beach retreat!

Kissing Summer Goodbye

As we are soaking up the last bit of sunshine, I wanted to send off the summer in style. This week I am throwing it back to my days of living beachside in the Outer Banks.

You could always find me sitting by the pool catching some rays and sipping on sunshine. What better way to be made in the shade than to lounge the day away?

I have to say, my favorite way to spend the day is in a bikini by the beach. I couldn’t wait to soak in the saltwater and slip into the sand. The Outer Banks is such a sweet beach retreat. I can’t wait to go back!

You can shop my swimwear at Marleylilly and find my watermelon hat at T.J. Maxx.

Be sure to book your next summer beach trip to the Outer Banks, SC.
