Falling in Love with Lilly

theprepinpink / / 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?

Lilly Pulitzer Beach Bash

theprepinpink / / Comments

Being a fan of Lilly Pulitzer and working for the brand for so  many years, I have always dreamed of attending their annual bash in Palm Beach. As I moved to the area this month, my dream became a reality, not only starting work at Lilly at The Breakers, but also attending the legendary Lilly event.

As we walked into The Beach Club, we were greeted with rose’ glasses and photo flashes. We made our way to the bar under the printed palms, and spotted several socialites. I had the pleasure of meeting Tinsley Mortimer, one of my favorite Real Housewives of New York. She was so sweet and shared her secrets of the Palm Beach social scene.

As the party progressed, the room opened up and we popped over to our tables to pop some bottles. The dance floor was flooded with a fabulous bohemian band and the attendees gathered all around. My date and I joined in and danced the night away.

We had a blast listening to the band and playing in the photobooth. The evening ended with a nightcap and a Palm Beach swag bag. What better way to celebrate our love of Lilly than with your best babes on the beach? I can’t wait for next year!

Babysitting in Lilly

What’s more fun than throwing a Lilly themed baby shower? Welcoming this sweet little girl home in Lilly! Our childhood neighbor Morgan gave birth to this beautiful baby Aris. She’s our warrior because she had a hard fight for her life, so we were overjoyed to have her home.

I can tell this little one and I are going to get along great, as I can already see she has the best taste! Aris’ nursery is a Lilly Pulitzer for Pottery Barn dream. My favorite spot is the mermaid suite, a perfect place for baby cuddles, complete with petite palms and Lilly pillows.

Not to mention, this crib is too sweet not to share. I am in love with the pink lemonade sheets and the diamond mobile. The most precious piece is this plush teddy, made from her late father’s cashmere sweater. What an amazing way to pass on his amazing memory to the next generation.

There’s so many more adornments around this nice little nursery, from wooden chandeliers to pom pom curtains and flamingo rockers. Although, the most important part is the fabulous  family living here. It was so inspiring to see the love and happiness surrounding their home. It was such a great moment meeting baby Aris, and I can’t wait to see her grow into a lovely Lilly lady!

Thanks for having us Morgan!

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!
