The Friday Five

May 17, 2013

vineyard viens, friday five,

Paddleboard-
One of the best things about paddleboarding, besides the amazing workout and gorgeous views, is the ‘instant gratification’ element I have when I get out there. Since I only live about 10 yards from the Newport Harbor, I pick up my board, walk to the water, push off and….bliss. It doesn’t get any better than that.
 
Starboard Striped Maxi-
I am so excited about this dress because its so comfortable, super soft and flattering! Its going to be my go-to dress all summer long. 
 
Guacamole-
My mom has an avocado tree in her yard. Its like a tree made of gold, we all love it so much. Even with the risk of being knocked out by a falling avo, my husband and I love going to help her pick them off the high branches because we don’t want a single one of them to go to waste. There isn’t a more perfect dinner (or breakfast, or lunch…!) than chips and guac.
 
Neon Orange Sneakers-
I am pretty sure these shoes make me run faster. They are lightweight, comfortable and make everyone I run by smile. Win-win-win-win!
 
Mariner Tote-
 In addition to managing the Newport store, I am also a mom of two teenagers. I learned when they were little that a big bag like this keeps everything in one place, like paperwork, books and my wallet.  This bag is perfect for going everywhere and anywhere!
 

For our summer catalog shoot, we headed south with a few of our Whale Reps for some fun, sun and the perfect dose of the Good Life. Our Whale Reps help spread the word of VV at their own college campuses and we had a blast getting to know them! Here’s what our Whale Rep Tommy had to say:

vineyard vines, whale reps, summer, tommy

If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Sushi (no whales…)

What is your favorite vineyard vines item to wear around campus? Shep Shirt— For whenever it gets cold in AL!

If someone asked me to autograph this catalog…It’s funny, people who know about it have already asked for advanced signings. (Jokingly… I think.)

I’ll be spending summer… To be determined. A beach somewhere for sure.

I bring the whale with me whenever I…leave the house. Croakies and coozies are a must at all times!

With spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, we’ll be jetting off to places near and far for lots of warm-weather adventures. But of course, one question always seems to linger: “What to wear?” Check back here and we’ll make sure you’re Whale Prepped for any occasion!
