Palm Springs Getaway feat. The Pink Cabana

I am going to just gush throughout this whole post about how much I loved this place, so I will do my best to keep my intro short!

I had the privilege to go to Palm Springs over Labor Day weekend and I would like to start out by saying everyone I was with is vaccinated and we only spent time with each other. We wore masks and stayed in their house so we were very safe. Do not come for me.

Next, I had all the intentions of vlogging and taking more photos and doing an entire travel post but it was my first time there and I got a little caught up in spending time with people. Next time I’m there I will be vlogging, doing more shoots, and compiling a whole post of must-do things in Palm Springs. So without further ado, go look at one of my favorite shoots ever, with my most perfect and most me aesthetic! Enjoy!

I feel like it’s best to start with the dress. With a dress as busy as this, there isn’t a lot of room to accessorize. All the things need to be kept simple so that the dress can be the focal point. It is so soft and comfortable and the perfect item to wear when the weather is as hot as it is in the desert. It is so light and airy that you don’t feel like you are wearing anything at all. I was able to link it down below (and it’s on sale) but I personally purchased this from one of my favorite bloggers/content creators off Poshmark. I have done a whole post about them in the past but I highly recommend you utilize them!

I feel like if I added some small white strappy heels you could turn this dress into more of a cocktail hour/tapas style outfit. Maybe a light denim jacket if you needed a light layer?

Since we all know Birkenstocks and how they feel and whatever, I don’t feel like I need to go over those. So let’s talk about this location, shall we? This is The Sands Hotel and Spa and it was the most perfect place I have ever been. Now I didn’t stay here so I don’t know how the rooms actually are or if the pool and all other amenities are what they are cracked up to be. What I do know is the decor and aesthetic are all I have ever wanted in one location. The restaurant and bar area is where we spent most of our time (all pictured below) and just seeing that was enough to know that the rest of the hotel has to be equally as gorgeous. The restaurant and bar area is known as The Pink Cabana and the food and coffees were both absolutely delicious. If you are ever in Palm Springs you need to go here!

Let’s talk about this bag real quick, because it is absolutely amazing. I have had my eye on this one for a little while now and have just been saving and planning for (from my fave Australian brand so shipping can be a lot) and it is finally here. This bag is all I hoped it would be, plus it fits a lot more than it looks like it does. But it also satisfies my need to not have to carry one of my massive bags 24/7. The olive color is perfect and goes with everything. The quality of the vegan leather is so good you wouldn’t be able to tell right away it’s not real leather. The gold hardware and logo detailing add a slight lux feel to this casual bag and make it that much more fun to carry around. Last but not least it has two straps so you can carry it in whichever way you please!

This bag also comes in black and brown, if green is not your preferred color. I highly recommend checking out the link below and giving it a once-over to look at all of the clothing and the accessories this awesome brand has to offer!

I hope you enjoyed going through this post half as much as I enjoyed taking these photos. Definitely thinking Palm Springs thoughts today as I look at the frost on my windows this morning.

Starting this week I will be back to posting twice a week for a little while to finish out some summer content I have shot and ready to go, as well as to accommodate all of the Halloween content I want to get up during October. One perk of fall and the added chill is that it means Halloween is on its way! I will also finally have a video up this Friday so keep an eye for that as well!

Have a wonderful week everyone!
