flamingo – The Prep In Pink

Falling in Love with Lilly

theprepinpink / February 15, 2019 / Comments

February is one of the best times of the year because we are surrounded with flowers, love and of course Lilly! For Valentines week we rolled out our latest line. The collection featured some of my favorite things: pink, flamingos and pearls!

Celebrating the day of love in the place you love is certainly ideal. The Breakers was beautifully decorated with roses and the courtyard was glowing outside of the store. I found the perfect Valentine’s Day outfit just in time for date night.

I even accessorized with the new hot tropics Mckim sandals to pull in the pink. To top it off, my friend created a fabulous flower display for the special day. What better way to celebrate than V-day than with your best babes?

Showered in Lilly

theprepinpink / August 9, 2018 / Comments

When one of your best babes is about to have a baby, of course I had to help shower this sweetie in Lilly. My longtime neighbor Morgan found out she was having a little girl, and I was happy to help with her Lilly Pulitzer baby shower.

My mom is fabulous with flowers, so she put together the perfect arrangements, from pineapples bouquets to flamingo florals. We also set up a sweet snack spread, followed by a mimosa bar.

Baby Aris is already going to have the best wardrobe, as she was presented with personalized onesies and Lilly Pulitzer shifts.

From palm leafs to pineapples and pom poms, this was quite the party. We even built a balloon arch photo spot, and decked out the downstairs in the signature pink and green.

This was the perfect setting to play baby games and open presents. We had such a great time catching up with the girls and celebrating the arrival of baby Aris!

Special thanks to Amélie’s French Bakery for hosting us and Jan Angel for your party planning

Life Under the Printed Palms

theprepinpink / June 7, 2017 / Comments

The only thing that could get me off the beach, is if I’m headed to another. Last week I left the Carolina coast and made my way down south to the sandy shores of Naples Florida. I couldn’t wait to drop my bags in the suite and hit the beach!

My first full day I hit the pool to soak up some sun. I met some fab Lilly ladies in the loungers, and some handsome fellas in the hot tub. What could make this day better? Only a few frozen drinks to sip under the sunshine.

Once the rest of the buy trip babes trickled in, it was time to get back to business. We had breakfast bright and early at Broadwell’s, overlooking the golf course. After that we were off to the Imoklee room to view the exclusive Lilly Pulitzer Resort 2017 collection. We were in awe of all the fabulous winter fashions and fabrics and couldn’t wait to shop for our store.

That night we put down the line sheets and picked up the champagne. I met my besties at the open bar and buffet and hit the terrace to see the sunset. It was a perfect photo-op beneath the palms. We made our way to the beach bar and watched the band jam before we hit the bed.

On our last day of paradise, we finalized our orders and hit the sand for one last break before our flight. I had the best time catching rays and catching up with up with friends.

This must be why they call this the Lilly dream job. What better way to work and play than on vacay? Follow along for more of this life under the printed palms…

H&M Hits Savannah

theprepinpink / August 11, 2016 / Comments

Last week was the long- awaited launch of the H&M in Savannah. The grand opening was August 4th on Broughton Street, our stylish shopping district. The sidewalk was lined with savvy shoppers awaiting the brand’s arrival, and their swag bags!

We watched from work across the street, and snuck over. The line was bumping with Beyonce music and we just made the cut for these cute bags. The first 250 customers received these goodies, along with the coveted 25% off coupon.

The girls and I stormed the store with four stories of sales. I got stuck in the sunnies section, and theres no question why. I mean look at these summer accessories! I made my way to the tops and soon came across some sequin tees with flamingos and palm trees. Can you say vacay?

This chic store brought a more modern feel to the otherwise historical style downtown. The fab fashion and low prices drew in the hot young crowd, and the trendy tunes made playing dress- up fun again. What do you think about all of Broughton street’s new boutiques?

Friends Who Flamingle on Doughnut Days

Summer’s heating up, and what better way to way to stay cool than with your best babes in the pool? It was a sweet way to spend our day, celebrating Kristen’s birthday.

To top it off we had a fab float squad, from flamingos to doughnuts. And what’s sweeter than doughnuts and sprinkles? Some sugary shots!

We kicked off the pool party with a cheers to another year… older, shhh! Let’s just say, that when its your boss’ birthdays its time to play. This was certainly the best way to spend an off day! How will you make a splash this summer?
