Southern Tide- Carolina Cup 2012

We were lucky enough to go to Carolina Cup this year. I love Carolina Cup!!! It symbolizes the beginning of spring, tradition, and southern fashion. It equates to a gigantic tailgate with a surplus of seersucker, sweet tea, Jack Rogers, pastel attire, and alcoholic beverages.

This year I noticed the majority of young men were sporting Southern Tide. They looked quite dapper in their Channel Marker pants, vibrant sport shirts,  and bow ties. I love a guy in a bow tie! I snapped a few shots of the skipjack taking over Carolina Cup. 

Did you make it to Cup this year? What did you wear? I will share some more photos from Cup this week!

Southern Tide Photo Shoot!

So yesterday I accompanied Erik on his Southern Tide photo shoot. Best part, it was shot in Charleston, SC on 130 foot yacht. Not a bad gig right!? Now I have been on several yachts before but nothing quite like this. It was HUGE! And absolutely unbelievable inside. Think MTV cribs but on a boat. I felt like we were on a Jay-Z shoot haha! I was waiting for him to pop out and start filming a music video. 

This particular yacht was custom-made and the owner's bought out the design/blueprints... so it is the only one of its kind in the entire world. It was so huge, it took three photos to capture. I am pretty sure it costs over $40,000 just to fill it up with gas... now that is CRAZY! 

Times like these are when I am very thankful my husband is so darn pretty! HEHE! 

We had a blast and the Southern Tide folks were amazing!! For those of you who are not familiar with Southern Tide clothing, you HAVE to check them out. Think Vineyard Vines but a little more refined. They have a more precise fit and their polos are more flattering on my figure. They are nice, bright, and southern!!! What more could you ask for!? 

I saw this quote and it cracked me up!! 

“Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.”- David Lee Roth

So now I am off to buy a Powerball ticket in hopes I can buy my own yacht. But if I buy one, its not sitting anchored at the dock all day. I am sailing that sucker around the world. Don't worry friends and family, it has about 6 guest bedrooms... so you can come with!
