This shirt might have been a little too Hawaiian for Palm Springs, but I've been really liking ridiculously looking prints for summer. Speaking of summer, I'm kinda sad that it's almost over! But, I'm looking forward to fall season since it'll be time to bundle up. But then again, I live in LA where it's basically summer year round.

I have a slight love affair with these shorts. My friend, Crystal, let me raid her closet one day while I was at her place, and I immediately fell in love with them (I wore it to brunch here). I just love how bright and fun the abstract print on the shorts was. So when we planned our Palm Springs trip, I asked her if I can borrow the same shorts again. The perks of having friends with an awesome closet.

One of the main ways to stay cool in Palm Springs is to wear the least amount of clothing possible. When it's over 100 degrees outside, walking around naked sounds ideal, but not publicly appropriate. Tops with some sort of ventilation (aka holes) and light weight material makes a world of a difference. So this cute eyelet top and crepe shorts was in order in times like this.

These past few weeks has been a whirlwind for me, so a couple of days in Palm Springs with the girls to unwind and relax for the long Labor Day weekend was in order. Aside from taking advantage of the nice Palm Springs back drop to take pictures, we absolutely did nothing but lay out by the pool to stay cool. You can find some the fun shenanigans we got into in my Instagram.

Going out of town for a few days was the vacation I needed. I haven't had the chance to just do nothing or not have to worry about anything. It's nice to just shut down for a couple of days and just enjoy the company and surroundings. And despite all the craziness that life throws at us, just like the sign preaches, everything will be ok.
