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!

I couldn’t wait to try on these gorgeous garments. The colorful punch of palm leaves drew me to Exotic Garden and Island Time.

Usually I dread fall, but with these chic pieces, this season is going from drab to fab! These prints transport you to the tropics with each and every wear!

Stand out this back to school season with these awesome accessories. Brighten up your schedule with our fabulous array of agendas.

I like to say the more Lilly the better, and who better to share style secrets with than my fellow blog friend Mary Carroll. You can never go wrong with pom poms!

My signature ensemble of this season has to be this Island Time two piece. I am obsessed with the look of these printed palms. These golden accessories were perfect pieces to pair with this hot Hila set.

Looking forward to the next shipment, I can’t wait to see more of what’s in store. I can’t completely spill the juice about tomorrow’s new releases, but what I can say is that something psychedelic is coming soon, so stay tuned!

This Memorial Day Weekend, Lilly Pulitzer launched one of their biggest promotions ever during the Splash Into Summer event. From beach balls and chairs to beach umbrellas and hammocks… there was something for everyone, at every price point.

While you were at the pool this weekend, we were pretending to be, here at Palm Avenue Savannah. This Brewster dress is one of my top picks for fun in the sun, along with the Daisy romper (featured in my Bay Breeze and Palm Trees post.)

As you can see Lover’s Coral is this summer’s hottest print, featuring some of the brightest aquatic treasures, from octopus to angel fish. What better way to end a workday than with a Top Deck mojito by the bay?

Walk and Chalk

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?

St. Patrick’s Day: From Palm Leaves to Pineapples

theprepinpink / / Comments

This Spring has been heavily inspired by pineapples and palm leaves, so i wanted to incorporate these trends into my St. Patrick’s Day ensembles. After all, green is the new pink!

Palm fronds were popularized by the classic Hollywood Regency home style, and have now been reincarnated into todays fashions. These iconic leaves wallpapered the halls of the Beverly Hills Hotel and are now wrapping the latest garments this season.

For southern women, St. Patrick’s Day is all about strutting your stuff down the streets, and my girls definitely did not disappoint. The Lilly ladies and I painted the town pink and pineapple with the new Flamenco print.

Brooke and I were caught twinning in the latest Lilly Pulitzer looks. What can I say, great minds think alike! Pineapples have always been my favorite spring inspiration,  and this quote surely sums it up: “Be a pineapple: stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside.”
