CRAVINGS: California Dreamin’

With just a little over 2 weeks to go until our trip to California, I am already excited beyond words. Not only is one of my best friends from middle and high school getting married, but we are also spending 12 days in the Californian sun – including Memorial Day in Palm Springs. I have been to Palm Springs a few times, but it seems only during Winter… What I didn’t realise while booking the trip, is that temperatures can rise up to around 40°C in the desert. All the more reason to shop for cute shorts and spend most of our time there sipping cocktails by the pool, right? That’s why I have been spending my Sunday putting together my dream Palm Springs outfit, including boho shorts, a simple white shirt with a twist (literally) and a pretty pair of slides.

Palm Springs Outfit Inspiration

• J. Crew wrap top: I love this take on a classic white tee. I think it would also look great with a pair of mom jeans and espadrilles or sneakers! I actually just hit order – but psst, don’t tell anyone.

• Saint Laurent College bag: My red Saint Laurent bag was one of my best buys last Summer. A perfect pop of red. And currently the brand has a ton of bags that are calling my name… love this blush pink one for warmer weather.

• Dodo Bar Or shorts: The Dodo Bar Or skirt I bought for our trip to Mauritius was such a great investment and it is definitely coming to L.A. with me, but I am definitely in need of more shorts and these are currently at the very top of my wish list.

• Ancient Greek Sandals velvet sandals: Simple black slide sandals will work with denim and a blouse for the office, but also a more relaxed beach look. Loving these and actually just tried to order them but the site wasn’t working. Technical problems are saving my credit card right now.
