Surf & Sand Resort Instagram Round Up

Hi everyone, as promised today I’m sharing an Instagram recap of my recent stay at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, CA. If you follow me on Instagram then you know that the Surf & Sand Resort is my favorite place to stay in Laguna Beach because our room literally sits right on top of the beach. At night the water nearly reaches the outskirts of the hotel so we like to leave our balcony door open to listen to the waves crash against the shore at night. I swear it’s the best sleep ever!

Watercolor Dress + Island Allure

Two exciting things people: 1) If you love Cella Boutique’s selection of clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories like this stunning, watercolor dress I’m wearing in today’s post, then you’ll be excited to hear that Cella’s will soon be opening their third location in Metairie, LA! Even more exciting news, I’m hosting their grand opening party along with Krystal from A Pinch of Lovely. We’ll keep you posted on the party date because the new location is still currently under construction.

2) In case you didn’t notice, I styled my watercolor dress with a fresh new, white cross body from Kelly Wynne’s latest Island Allure collection and if you’re a KW fan, then you’re going to die over her newest bag designs and colors. I especially love the new ‘Sorry I’m Not Sorry’ satchel in sey-shells featured in today’s post. My favorite part is the tassel detail on both sides of the bag along with the convenient cross body strap.

Palm Springs Trip Instagram Round Up

Good Morning everyone, I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend. Today, I’m finally sharing a recap of my recent Palm Springs trip for a friend’s bachelorette trip. We stayed in the cutest 70s style home with our own pool and hot tub that comfortably fit all 10 of us. See the house here–> From Palm Springs With Love

My only complaint about the house is that you aren’t allowed to play music outside or the neighbors would complain. Apparently, this isn’t the house rentals that bans outdoor music so make sure you clarify that with the home owner or agency that you book with in Palm Springs!

palm-springs-saguaro-hotel

We stopped by the Saguaro Hotel for drinks and the pool view far exceeded our expectations with its perfectly placed palm trees, colorful state rooms and mountains that sat up against the bluest sky we ever saw! You think I’m exaggerating, but I’m serious. Everything looked and felt so perfect that we almost felt like we were on The Truman Show.  We also went out to the Ace Hotel & Swim Club after dinner one night. Both the Ace and the Saguaro were less than a mile from our house.
