Nineties

All Saints Muscle tee / Forever 21 shorts (similar) / Jerome Dreyfuss bag (on sale here) / Dogearred necklaces (this and this) / Daniel Wellington watch / Zara boots (similar)

If there's an era where I can go back in time to live again, it'll be the nineties. Maybe I'm a little biased since I was a 90s kid, but let's be honest, that was the best time period to be in. And in terms of fashion, grunge is probably my favorite trend/look. What can I say, I like dressing up borderline disheveled sometimes. And I'm glad that grunge is sticking around for awhile.

Hope you guys have an amazing weekend!

H&M dress / BB Dakota jacket / All Saints boots / Proenza Schouler PS1 bag / Daniel Wellington watch (receive 15% off by using beautybitten at checkout)

This dress has been on heavy rotation since I found it at H&M. The reason why I bought it... it reminded me of a dress that "the mom" from How I Met Your Mother wore in an episode. But I mean, how girly can this dress be (also seen here)?

This tank. Business in the front. Party in the back. The asymmetrical cut of this tank gives an illusion from behind that it's a dress when you're wearing shorts. Bonus: it's sheer enough for this blazing heat. With the unbearable heat lately, I'm all about less clothing and thin fabrics. Can fall just swoop in already? I'm ready to bundle up.

HOLE(d) ME

Joe's Jeans tee / All Saints shorts (similar) / Zara shoes (similar) / Jerome Dreyfuss Twee / Daniel Wellington watch (use code "beautybitten" to get 15% off) / Illamasqua Rare nail polish

Can we just talk about how hot it's been lately? It seems like summer just came into full-swing these past couple of weeks. It's been really hot that I've been living off shorts and shirts with holes on the weekends. And this tee takes the cake as being one of my current favorites. Not to mention, it's a loose fitting shirt. WIN.

Me and My Boyfriend(Shorts)

Acne Studios tee / Zara boyfriend shorts (similar) / All Saints fringe boots (similar) / Proenza Schouler PS1 Smoke bag / Dogearred jewelry (this and this) / House of Harlow earrings 

I've been all about loose fitting pieces. Especially anything that has boyfriend in front of it (boyfriend jeans, boyfriend shorts, boyfriend shirt, boyfriend blazer). It might not be the most flattering fit, but sometimes I just prefer to have my clothes just loosely drape over me. There are days when I just want to be comfortable or dress a bit like a tomboy (like here).

La La La

Zara top / Forever 21 shorts / Uniqlo belt / Rebecca Minkoff Hudson Moto / Vanessa Mooney necklace / Koolaburra sandals

So this rounds up my Palm Springs outfit post. I opted for a more relaxed outfit since we were driving back to LA. I didn't want to feel fussy during the sad drive back home.

On a somewhat related note, I'm currently watching Sam Smith's iTunes Festival performance (watch it here, you're welcome) as I'm writing this blog post. And it's bumming me out that I won't be able to see him live at the Greek Theater. I say it's somewhat related since this was the album that we played for the most part on our drive to and from Palm Springs. The album evokes so much emotion that you can really feel whatever Sam Smith was feeling that moment. He's definitely one of my favorites right now, and he can serenade me any time he wants.

Tropic Floral

Zara tropical print peplum (similar) / Joe's Jeans Vintage Reserve shorts / JustFab strappy heels / Louis Vuitton Pochette / House of Harlow earrings and sunglasses / Flash Tattoos "Josephine"

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.

Color Splash

Zara top / Nameless watercolor shorts (similar) / Zara heels (similar) / JewelMint earrings / Flash Tattoos / Prada sunglasses

 
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.

Peeking Pink

Zara eyelet top & shorts / Koolaburra sandals / Prada sunglasses / Triangl Black Neon in Pink Rush / Flash Tattoo 

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.

Everything Will Be Ok

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.
