Vero Beach - Resort Buy 2016

In May I had the opportunity to travel to Vero Beach for the Lilly Pulitzer Resort 2016 on sale. It is always exciting to get to go buy for my store and see my Palm Village family! The location of the trip wasn't too bad either! 

I had to get up early to fly out of Augusta. I wanted to make sure I made it to the airport on time. I am still learning my way around town so I left in plenty of time for my 7:20 am flight. I was sitting at my gate at 6:45 am waiting to board. 

I sent this picture to my dad so he could see the plane I was boarding.

I landed in Charlotte and met up with my friend Lesa! She is the manager of Palm Village Knoxville. We love flying with her! She is just the cutest with her blanket! 

We stayed at the Costa d'Este. Gloria Estefan and her husband own this resort. The entire time we were there I kept looking for Gloria! 

Once we were checked in we had lunch and headed straight to the beach! 

I miss Alex so much so it is always great to see her. I miss working with her everyday. 

 Lesa and I had to snap a selfie wearing our Lilly bathing suits! 

My view for most of that afternoon! Not too shabby for a work trip!

On Sunday we had a spa day and a nice dinner out. 

 Me (Augusta), Alex (Asheville), Eleanor (leader of the pack), Lesa (Knoxville), and Lillie (Mandeville)

I think we have such a fun group of ladies! I enjoy every second with these gals. 

The next morning we were up early for a long day of work. I don't have a picture of that because it is top secret! You have to wait till October to see that!

After about 10 hours of working we had dinner by the beach! 

Me, Alex, and Lillie

 We met our new Lilly rep for our stores on this trip....Amy! She spent the evening chatting with us and it was nice getting to know her. 

My Palm Village family

These ladies are some of my most favorite people in the world!  

We left on Tuesday but before we left I had to visit Countryside Citrus. This was a recommendation from one of my sweet Augusta customers. I got some soft served Orange ice cream. It was yummy. I do love ice cream!

I wish I could have stayed a little longer but I couldn't wait to get back to my store and my staff! I can't wait to see my Palm Village family in August for the Spring 2017 on sale!

#moeveryday2016 days 130 - 147

So somehow I got very mixed up with my days. My number was off and I am way behind in posting them to my blog. This is my attempt to play catch up! 

day 135

The girls had some pictures made around their 6th birthday! I just think these are the cutest and sweetest toothless grins I have ever seen.

day 136

Thanks to my sweet staff I discovered Gossip Girl. I quickly became obsessed. I think its funny because I had never really heard of this show and Gossip Girl signed off with xoxo on every episode. My girls at the shop thought that I signed xoxo, aunt moe because of Gossip Girl. But I do not! This whole time I thought I was being an original. HA!

Just a couple of cuties on my computer screen

#moeeveryday2016 week 14

Week 14 was an exciting week! 

Carolina was in the final four and Masters week started in Augusta! 

Since I just moved to Augusta I felt like I had a lot to learn about the Masters. I really wanted tickets so I could go in and see Augusta National. I did get to go out on Sunday morning to the Drive, Chip, Putt tournament. Which was enough to get me hooked. Now I want to tickets for the Masters! Maybe next year! 

Day 91

 Our signs were finally put up! We are getting closer to our Grand Opening!

day 92

 Carolina was playing that night to advance to the championship game! I spent the day cheering them on from Georgia! They won that night but unfortunately lost in the championship game. I was sad but still love those Tarheels! 

day 93

 I was lucky enough to get a pass to go in the the Drive, Chip, Putt and see part of Augusta National. 

Let me tell you - the grounds are beautiful, the gift shop is amazing, and the egg salad sandwich rocked my world! I am still dreaming of that sandwich!

day 94

 Alex came to town to help me with the fashion show we had at Club Magnolia. 

I love my Palm Village Family!

Just a few more pictures from the fashion show! 

day 95

 Alex was still in town and we had fun gifts for Masters week! 

day 96

 Palm Village had the sign at Surrey for Masters week! 

day 97

 It was the first day of the Masters and I wanted to celebrate! We had special cookies for the week and I wore the cutest vintage Lilly dress! A sweet customer let me borrow this dress for the week! I loved this classic Lilly!

Club Magnolia is a hospitality venue only opened during the Masters. Palm Village Augusta dressed the Magnolia girls for the week! I wanted to check out the venue. I went out on Thursday to deliver a few clothing items and see what it was all about. The Magnolia girls looked adorable in their dresses! I had to snap a picture! 

They looked so pretty and all the girls were so sweet and kind!

Week 14 was a busy but exciting week!
