New Years at The Colony

theprepinpink / / Comments

This New Years Eve is a special one, as it is the first of many I’ll be spending in Palm Beach! I just moved to this beautiful place, and I can’t wait to celebrate. We started out the night at an opulent mansion on the island. We were served champagne and surrounded by chandeliers. The towering tree lit up the living room as the live band began. We partied by the pool and popped in the photobooth.

As midnight was fast approaching, we made our way to The Colony. I walked into a wonderful evening lined with lights and lavish outdoor decor. We enjoyed a table with bottle service for all of our best friends.

We danced the night away under the stars at the hottest spot under the palms. What better way to bring in the New Year? I can’t wait to see what 2019 has in store!

The Pick of the Patch

As soon as autumn rolled around, I couldn’t wait to make my way to the pumpkin patch in town. Pumpkin picking is one of my favorite things to do in the Fall. From big to small, this place had them all.

Woodland UMC has hosted their patch for 20 plus years, so we were happy to make a return trip. We pulled our cart down the path and set our sights on the perfect pumpkin.

It was a tough choice to make, but i finally picked my fave. We made our way to checkout and found out that the proceeds go to children’s church missions. How cool is that? This way you can go home with a heavy cart and a full heart. What better way to celebrate the season?

The Woodland Patch was sweet enough to share some of their favorite pumpkin recipes, courtesy of Very Best Baking. Here is a Fall favorite I found for y’all:

Tiger Town Bound

theprepinpink / / Comments

This weekend Clemson played N.C. State at home. It was a perfect chance to catch up with family as they all came home as well. This was a big game for us, as my dad played basketball for the tigers and my sister played for the pack. Whichever team we rooted for, I knew it would be a win-win!

I rooted for the tigers and my sister backed the pack but nothing brings southern girls together like game day. Before kickoff we made our way to the famous football floats, a tiger tradition. Shortly after, we were off to meet the rest of the family by the field.

We scored great seats at the stadium, and as soon as it was time for kickoff, the sun came out. It was a great game but it came to no surprise that Clemson prevailed. With a win under our belts, we were off to celebrate at the tailgate. That night we hit the streets to paint the town orange. What better way to celebrate the day of football than with family and friends?

Weekend on Worth Avenue

theprepinpink / / Comments

I have always dreamed of walking the streets of Palm Beach. Last week I was lucky enough to pass through for work and ended up staying to play!

My sister stays in West Palm so I thought this would be the perfect time to pop by. Her birthday was that weekend so what better way to celebrate that with your sibling?

We started off at our favorite brunch spot, the rooftop restaurant at Restoration Hardware. It’s named as ‘the best way to peer through the city through its crown.’

Afternoons here are always a grand affair, where chandeliers shimmer beneath glass ceilings. What a view! After we sipped the last bit of bubbles we were off to the famous Worth Avenue for some window shopping.

I loved walking past the palm trees and into the vias as I stopped into the shops. Each was filled with designer gowns and the most glamorous pieces in town.

I havd to say, the best ending to our day was making our way to the beach. What’s better than having your toes in the sand and shopping bags in hand?

From Vettes to Jets

theprepinpink / / Comments

Nothing beats a cool day like a hot ride. This weekend my friend took us out for a spin. I have always  had a thing for sports cars so I never turn down a cruise in a Corvette.

My sister and I took the top down and hit the strip. I must say, this cherry red sure knew how to turn heads. And if this ride couldn’t get any cooler, we soon make our way from the Vette… to the jet!

We pulled our whip down to the airport strip and paved our way to the private plane. I couldn’t wait to roll onto the runway and let up for lift off.

Once the wheels were up, we were off to tour the town. What a lovely view of Lake Wylie. Flying from cove to cove, we circled around until we made our way to my place on the lake.

Cruising on through the clouds, we made our way around the mountains. I wasn’t ready to leave and land, but there was more fun waiting in the wigs. Once we were ready to hit the road, I had my choice of cars for a sunset cruise… which one would you choose?
