Bay Breeze and Palm Trees

theprepinpink / May 11, 2016 / Comments

Being the last week with my boyfriend, we were off for a couples retreat across the bay.

We headed over the bridge for a mini escape from Savannah. It was so nice seeing the city from the other side.

To kick off the night we popped champagne on the balcony of our top corner suite, overlooking the bay.

We hit the hotel restaurant, Aqua Star, and snagged the Par 5 Burger from the bar.

The next day we were off to the pool in paradise. It was certainly a sweet retreat sippin’ champs beneath the palm trees.

As the sun set, we settled into the jacuzzi nestled beneath the umbrellas. It was a great place to cheers to our last weekend together.

But all in all I have to say, the best goodbye was breakfast in bed.

Walk and Chalk

theprepinpink / April 27, 2016 / Comments

April showers bring may flowers, but this time it also brought my favorite spring event, the Savannah Sidewalk Arts Festival. Every year, the scaddies grab their chalk and make masterpieces on their concrete canvases.

This time I was glad to have my boyfriend in town for a picnic in the park. We rolled out our blankets, and of course the wine, and watched the squirrels play while we soaked up the sun.

My favorite part was strolling down the park, hand in hand, looking at each art piece down the path. To top off the trip, we ended up at the forsyth fountain. What better way to spend a Sunday fun- day?

Victoria’s Secret Spreads it’s Wings in Savannah

theprepinpink / April 25, 2016 / Comments

In the past few weeks, several stores were scheduled to hit Broughton Street. Most importantly, one of my favorite brands landed in downtown Savannah: Victoria’s Secret. Naturally, i strolled into their grand opening to take a closer look.

Walking in, the rooms looked quite luxy, lined with satin and chandeliers. The setting transported you, making it feel as if you were in a high- end city shopping for the afternoon.

The shelves were full of luxurious lingerie and aromatics perfume. Each piece made you feel more than haute in the city.

As you can see this was a great escape, but now I have to get back from my lunch break…

After Party Aftermath

theprepinpink / January 18, 2016 / Comments

Lilly Pulitzer just hosted one of their hottest sales parties of the year. It was so exclusive you had to wait in a ‘virtual line’ to enter. This gave a whole new meaning to the term VIP.

Amongst all the craziness, i was able to score these two darling dresses! I had my eye on many more, but I was happy to come out with a few fab pieces. First is the Siena Dress featured in Summer Haze, perfect for a night out on the islands. Next is the Reecy Dress in I’m No Angel. You could say it was a match made in heaven, as Angel is my last name!

An added bonus was receiving a holiday bonus from my bosses. With this, I was able to snag some of the sassy accessories I have been eyeing. Featured above are two Tiki Palm wristlets, a Lilly scarf and two Boca bangles featured in some of my favorite prints, from oldies (First Impressions, Let’s Cha Cha, and Dripping in Jewels) to new goodies (Tropical Storm).

If you are a Lilly lover like me, you know that ‘too much is never enough.’ To get prepared for the next sale party, check out a few of my tips:

The night before, make sure you have an account and that it is updated so you don’t lose precious time at checkout.
The sale opens at 8 am and you will be placed in a virtual line so make sure you open the site a few minutes before hand.
Do not refresh the page or you will lose your coveted spot.
Just because something is in your cart, doesn’t mean it is reserved. So don’t be afraid to check out early and often to get what you really want, because they do have free shipping after all.
To better your chances, use multiple devices.
If you missed out on your must haves, reach out to your local Lilly Pulitzer and signature stores. They will be matching After Party prices.

I hope this helps all you Lilly ladies out there. Good luck and happy shopping!

Family and Friendsgiving

theprepinpink / December 23, 2015 / Comments

This year I am thankful I was able to spend Thanksgiving with both friends and family, and have some seriously fabulous food.

The Palm Avenue ladies and I hosted our first ‘Friendsgiving’ and I must say, we were beyond proud of our holiday spread. This was also my first time tracking down a turkey, but after all the trouble, it certainly made a great centerpiece. Each girl brought their best traditional dish to the table, from hush puppy stuffing to momma’s mac and cheese.

Just when I thought we were all stuffed, there was still just a smidgen of space for dessert. Of course I had to make my famous Pilgrim Hat Cookies, a festive reincarnation of the with hat cookies featured in my previous posts.

The best part had to be spending the holiday with my fabulous family. My Gramie hosted the gathering at her house in my hometown of Rock Hill, and we all left with full hearts and full bellies!
