preppy – The Prep In Pink

Palm Beach Pumpkin Patch

Fall is in full swing here in Palm Beach. This week I was able to visit one of my favorite shopping spots, The Royal Poinciana Plaza. Nestled between Stoney Clover and Love Shack Fancy, was the most insta-worthy pumpkin patch.

Now this isn’t your average Fall photo-op. Nicole Shaffer from Flower Love Palm Beach put a preppy twist on this Fall festivity, from pink pumkins and a wagon to pop in front of the picket fence.

The best part is when you finish snapping your selfies, you can shop at Stoney Clover and head over to the Honor Bar for a cocktail. This was a perfect ending to an Autumn day walking the Plaza with my best babes. I can’t wait to see what pop up is next over the holidays!

Memorial Daze

Memorial Day weekend is always a great time to not only relax, but break out those bikinis! This three-day weekend I couldn’t wait to celebrate on the lake.

When packing up my swimwear, I always snag the seersucker suits. It’s the perfect pick for a preppy look to wear from the beach to the pool.

One of my favorite secret spots to hit is this hidden beach on the Outer Banks. It is tucked away behind the dunes, and a perfect getaway for the day.

When I’m not by the lake or beach, you can always find me lounging by the pool. It’s the perfect place to catch some rays and sip on summer drinks in my Lauren James seersucker. I was able to score all of these looks on their Pink Friday sale, and they were the best bikinis to bake in the sun. I can’t wait to wear more styles this summer!

St. Patrick’s in Savannah

My favorite time of the year has to be Spring, because not only is it St’ Patrick’s Day but it’s our annual trip to Savannah! I have a lot of history here, as my mom grew up here and I went to college in this special city. I couldn’t wait to catch up with my cousins and see my sisters, and go out with my girls.

We rented a historic home downtown to fit all of our family and friends for the weekend. Once we settled in, we were off to stroll the streets. Walking down Broughton, our crew grabbed some to-gosas and made our first stop at Palm Avenue, the Lilly Pulitzer Store. I worked here for years and had to stop by and see my bestie and shop the latest Spring looks. What a fun afternoon spree shopping with the ladies while the boys bar hopped.

Saturday was when the party really started. It was a beautiful day to watch the parade. Ive always loved watching the floats fly by and blowing kisses to the soldiers as they make their sweep down the street. the parade was over we were off to tailgate in the Savannah Square, to see and be seen. Once the sun went down we hit the town. We hit our favorite hot spots, sipped our favorite freezies, and danced the night away. I can’t think of a better time to kick off Spring than St. Patty’s in Savannah!

Easter Pups

theprepinpink / April 4, 2018 / Comments

Easter was an ‘egg’xtra special one last year. Every bunny had a great time with our precious puppies. I helped host Life’s a Beach’s 8th annual ASPCA Adoption Event. A portion of the proceeds went to our local shelter, and we invited some of their sweet faces to be adopted.

The first couple came by and scooped up our first pup. The coolest part was that they adopted one of our dogs last year, and then came back for another! They fell in love with their new furry friend and couldn’t wait to take him home. We also had a bundle of puppies up next at our event, but there was actually a line out the door waiting for them before they headed our way!

I have to say, one of our cutest characters had to be Hank. He was a sweetheart, who was still in search for his forever home. We later hosted a party in his honor to meet his future family.

After working with these adorable dogs, I couldn’t wait to head home and play with my own. Meet Coco and Gigi, my own little cuddle pups we adopted from Carolina Poodle Rescue years ago.

As you can see, I was more than ready to spend Easter with my furry fam! You know I can’t resist a great matching moment, and the babies looked best in their new bandanas. Love my ladies in Lilly!

Some Bunny Loves You

theprepinpink / April 4, 2016 / Comments

Over the weekend, my family headed down south to meet my boyfriend and I for and egg-celent Easter celebration.

It was Spring Break and we were beach bound, so we rented a happy little house on Tybee Island. The trip was full of fun, from bridal showers to beaches and brunches.

The highlight was having our holiday meal at my favorite eatery on the island, The Social Club. I ordered a mimosa flight, followed by fritatas and patatas.

The weekend was wrapped up in seersucker and tied up in a bow. What better way to end a Sunday?
