Hi besties — Happy Coachella Weekend 1!

As many of us may have heard on social media, Coachella has become the “influencer Olympics,” and I didn’t want to miss out on the fun this year! So guess who’s in Palm Springs?

I haven’t been to Coachella since 2017, and while technically I won’t be going into the festival this year, I was invited to some Coachella-esque events in Indio this weekend, and it feels so good to be back. I figured it was also the perfect opportunity to make some Coachella outfit inspo content for the blog!

My boyfriend and I drove to the desert earlier this week and got some much-needed relaxing time before the long weekend ahead. I may or may not have forced him to wake up early to help me shoot some festival-related content for the feed! After all, that is why we’re here. But him seeing T-Pain perform at the Celsius event made it all worth it.

For today’s post, I’m rounding up six desert outfits I packed for Palm Springs this week!

Side note: while all of my Coachella outfit pictures feature cowboy boots, sneakers are definitely more comfortable if you’re planning on being at the festival from the minute it opens to closing time. And we all know white sneakers are the cutest! You might be thinking…. white sneakers and festivals can’t possibly go together, but you’re wrong!

If you’re planning on wearing white sneakers to any festival, be smart about what pair you bring with you. I’d recommend going with either an all-leather shoe (or faux leather) so that you can easily wipe off the dirt or a cheap pair that you can stick in the wash!

1. Desert Cutie

This might be my favorite outfit I’ve worn all week. Not only was it comfortable, but I also felt so cute, and being in a bathing suit top definitely helped cool me down in the heat.

While the white skirt did end up super stained on the bottom from rubbing against the dirt and sand, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

I’m wearing the Haze Top from TJ Swim, the Miriah Maxi Skirt from Princess Polly, and the Embossed Oval Chain Belt from Ardene. Then I paired the look with some off-white cowboy boots (linking a similar pair here).

2. Butter Yellow Mini

This look came in second in my rank of favorites, and it’s what I wore to the Celsius Party, where we got to see T-Pain work his magic up on stage! We also got some celebrity spottings, including Megan Fox, Halle Bailey, David Dobrik, and Charli D’amelio.

Whilst a little short, this Good Days Yellow Strapless Dress from Beginning Boutique made a perfect daytime look. This shade of butter yellow has been the it-color this spring, and I can’t stop gravitating towards it! I paired the dress with a Daisy-printed Klare Crossbody Bag from Coach Outlet, which was a limited edition drop (but I’m currently eyeing this one for a more everyday look)!

Also!! I went a little rogue and got my 4th piercing on each ear at a popup they had at the event, so the third picture is what I sent my sister to show her.

Some of the other jewelry that I had on:
– this pair of Amazon gold chunky hoops
– my Outchared custom charm necklace
– my nameplate necklace from Catbird
– a pearl strand bracelet from Made by Mary
– a chain link bracelet from Gorjana

And finally, these sunglasses are the Retro Oval Sunglasses from Amazon (which are a dupe for a Celine pair).

3. Real Life Barbie Dreamhouse

I can’t believe I finally got to see the Trixie Motel; it’s a real-life Barbie dream house. I only shot some content around the outside, so I wasn’t able to actually go in, but that is first on my list the next time I visit PS.

This white denim strapless dress from Blank NYC Jeans was so easy to style — I wore the same Ardene gold chain belt, off-white boots, and a cream purse from Amazon.

Super cute look, and very comfy!

4. Scandal on the Highway

A bathing suit under a sheer dress? Scandalous. Who doesn’t love a little see-through moment?

In these pictures, I’m wearing the full TJ Swim bikini set (top & bottoms) and a crochet dress from One Mile. The original is sold out, so linking two similar versions here and here! Everyone was wearing chunky belts this year, and the one I have on is the Elderwood Belt from Princess Polly.

5. Comfy & Casual

Looking for a more casual festival outfit? Or a walk-around-Palm-Springs outfit? This one is adorable because the top is giving picnic table in the best way!

The Forever Young Red Gingham Top from Beginning Boutique paired effortlessly with my Agolde denim shorts and, once again… the off-white cowboy boots. Considering I brought two suitcases full of clothing options, you’d think I would have switched up the shoes a little bit! I guess not, haha.

Same cream purse as above! And some of the jewelry that you can see here is:
– Amazon croissant braided ring
– Made by Mary ring stack (crescent pearl ring & stacker ring)
– another Catbird necklace with my love letter charm
– a thin Catbird ring stack

6. Fringe-y Vacation Look

The last day in Palm Springs is meant for strolling, relaxing, and wearing your best vacation outfit, so I picked out this skirt set from Lulus (top & skirt). Paired with a wooden purse from Amazon, this look is classic.

This weekend was the most fun I’ve had in a while, and I’m beyond grateful that I got to spend it with someone that I love doing what I love most (creating content). I appreciate every single one of you reading (and engaging on my posts on social media) and helping me get to do this crazy job and attend events such as these. I couldn’t have done it without you! x
