Once Upon A Time I Went to Abaco...and I took Whalebone with me!

I recently went on an amazing trip to the Abacos, a strand of islands located in the Bahamas.  When I got back from my vacation I was looking through my many pictures and came to the stark realization that almost everything I wore on my trip came from Whalebone Urban Surf.  I guess that is not too hard to believe being that I am employed by Whalebone, however I also noticed that many things that my best friend wore on the trip were also purchased at Whalebone Urban Surf.  Honestly, if you are going on a summer trip, whether it be to the Caribbean or to the Carolina Coast, one can truly get everything they need for the trip from any of our Whalebone stores.  Swimwear, sportswear, eye wear, footwear, sunscreen, head wear or even any of our amazing hard goods; Whalebone truly does have it all.  I am confident that even if this store was not a huge part of my life I would have still purchased many of the things I needed for my vacation at Whalebone.

There was not a day on my trip that I did not receive inquires about where I purchased my swimsuits from and who designed them.  All of my suits that I wore on my trip were L*Space by the way! Both of my friends suits were from the shop as well.  One Volcom and one L*Space.  Even my Billabong cover up dress and VonZipper "Elmore" Sunglasses garnered attention.  It is just apparent now more than ever how wonderful is it that Raleigh has a full service surf shop to make sure that residents can get everything they need BEFORE they go on vacation!  Below are some pictures of my favorite Whalebone duds.


I am wearing the L*Space Twister Top in Lime and my friend is wearing Volcom's Smock Puppet Bikini in Teal.

 I am wearing Billabong's One Shouldered Lue Dress here!

 Here I am wearing the L*Space Triangle Top in Black and the Tiger Print slit bottoms.

My favorite Whalebone vacation must have is my VonZipper Elmore's in Tortoise with a polarized lense.

While I do not typically blog about myself I did think it was important to let everyone know that Whalebone has some awesome merchandise that is perfect for any summer trip.  If you have any questions about any items I mentioned or are just interested in the store please call us at 919.758.8362 or email us at whaleboneurbansurf@gmail.com.
