Birthday at the Breakers

theprepinpink / / Comments

This year my birthday came around and I thought… celebrating 27 would be so much sweeter in Palm Beach. So I packed my bags and boarded a plane to my sister’s place. She surprised me with dinner and drinks at my dream destination, The Breakers.

Now as you may know, this is not only one of the most renowned resorts, but also my favorite luxury escapes. We made our way to the well known hall that houses HMF. This lavish restaurant and lounge was lined with creative cocktails and trendy tapas.

To top off this sweet birthday retreat, we set our sights on the Seafood Bar, overlooking the ocean. You heard that right, the fish are swimming in the bar! We sipped our drinks with Nemo until soon we were off to our next party spot. What can I say, is there a better place to celebrate your  birthday than at the Breakers at Palm Beach?

If You Like Piña Coladas

When life gives you pineapples, make Piña Coladas! What better way to start the summer than to sip a perfectly sweet tropical drink beneath the palms.

This fab fruit is so in season, I knew it would make my Macbeth Collection top  pop. A great way to seal the deal is with a stylish tumbler from your cute cabana boy.

No outfit combo would be complete without the perfect necklace from Haute Pink. Each piece is unique from my handcrafted accessory collection.

What do you pair with your pineapple pieces?

The Royal Hawaiian

Walking down the the beaches of Waikiki, I came across this historic Honolulu hotel, the Royal Hawaiian. This luxurious landmark has always been on my bucket list. This week I was was able to explore this pink castle, and check it off my list.

This place is every girls dream, from peachy pink walls to palm tree halls and everything in between. This hotel also houses one of the early Tori Richard stores and so much more.

Stepping outside, my first stop was the Mai Tai Bar. It’s a great place to check out the scene while you sip on favorite umbrella drink. Next, make your way over to to your private pink cabana by the pool.

Let your hair down by the spa before you leave for the luau. Then hit the beach for a sunset retreat. What more could you ask for, than hideaway day at the Royal Hawaiian?

The Angels Have Landed

As you all may know, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is the biggest event of the season for me. I mean what can I say, my last name IS Angel! Throughout my years of modeling, I have always dreamed of earning my wings. Until then, a girl can always daydream, can’t she…?

This year marked the most expensive show in history, from the grandest wings of all to the most fabulous fantasy bra. The first phase featured global influences modeled by VS veterans like Alessandra and Adriana. Each sensational ensemble captured cultural trimmings from tassels to pom moms and more. The show was separated by a closer look at each of these backstage beauties. The next act gave a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘going Dutch,’ from girls rocking everything from lace to lederhosen.

Then came my favorite part… PINK! Bruno Mars hit the stage and brought out each of the babes. Some  angels were covered in blush bows. Others made us fall for fur, layered over sporty chic pieces that popped on the shimmering stage.

Later on, Lady Gaga emerged with the ladies in lingerie. The voluminous wings took flight down the runway as the largest pair thus far. Bella Hadid also made her debut, joining the ranks of other icons like her sister, Gigi. The dark angels worked their walk in everything from leather to latex, giving the viewers a very sexy sneak peek. The act closed with Kendall and friends strutting their stuff in high necklines and haute capes.

The finale featured glorious goddesses showing us that all that glitters is gold. Each model was covered in crystals, making them all individually gorgeous gems. The show closed with the Victoria’s Secret signature walkout, amongst a star- studded audience. Seriously, what could be more of a perfect setting than in Paris? I can’t wait to see what next year has in store!

Moving From Peaches to Beaches

So as you all have been following along, you have seen my series of Savannah adventures. I have spent the last 6 years in this sweet city, from studying Fashion Marketing at SCAD to selling Lilly Pulitzer at Palm Avenue. I have had some of my best years here, but its time to start the next chapter and I am so happy to share it with you all. So long Savannah!

Now I am making my way up the coast to the beaches of the Outer Banks. More specifically, Duck, North Carolina. I couldn’t think of a better place to start fresh. I can’t believe I get to live where people vacation. Talk about resort 365!

So you might ask, why OBX? Well, I recently received a job offer to be the Assistant Manager at Life’s A Beach, a Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store at the Waterfront Shops. I am so excited to get started and run the store this fall. I also just found a new place right on the beach, just a bike ride from work. The best part is falling asleep to the waves outside my window. Now I think I could get used to this…

There is so much more to explore, and I can’t wait to get started. I would also love for y’all to let me know of any local hot spots to hit while I’m here.

I gotta say, it feels nice to be a Carolina girl again, but I will always be a Georgia peach at heart!
