Floating on Folly

theprepinpink / / Comments

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!

Myrtle Beach Retreat

I couldn’t wait to swan dive into summer and hit the beach for a sweet retreat! I hopped in my best babe’s car and soon we were beach bound with our boys.

We spent our afternoon pulling out the floats, popping out the umbrellas and chilling in our chairs. We had so much fun soaking up the sun and sipping on freezies at the tiki.

For date night, plus Mike, we cruised down to Crab Catchers. We feasted on fresh seafood and sat by the water. The sunset on the dock was the perfect dinner backdrop.

We spent our last day floating in the pool with friends and relaxing before we hit the road. I was so sad to leave our new beach pad, but I had such a blast with my best buds. I can’t wait to see what the rest of summer has in store!

Red, White & Boom!

This year the Fourth of July came around, and I was finally able to celebrate in my hometown. The party started on the sandbar with fun and friends in floats and boats. It was a beautiful day to stay watch the boat parade!

The party continued downtown Rock Hill at the annual Red, White and Boom bash. My sister and I hit the streets to celebrate with carnival rides and music live. We met up with friends and grabbed some food and headed to the amphitheater for some nightlife fun.

The finale to the fourth took place with family at my Gramie’s. We played outside with our baby cousins and cooled off in the pool. We rocked the red white and blue, and even lined the neighborhood with flags too.  It was the perfect summer day to play and and celebrate the USA!

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?
