I popped over to Palm Springs last weekend for the Indian Wells Tennis Open.
The weekend revolved around tennis, long days at the court and a few hours soaking in the sun by the pool. I mainly packed a few matching sets (pun intended) along with layers because the temps were all over the place.
The Great Stadium Sweatpants // The Crestline Pullover // Polo Ralph Lauren Baseball Cap // New Balance Sneakers
Polo Ralph Lauren Baseball Cap // The Trailhead Pullover // Velvet Brylie Pants // Thom Browne Sneakers (old but similar pair I love here)
Janessa Leone Felix Hat // Everlane Sneakers (sold out) // Doen White Nightgown // Jenni Kayne Cooper Cardigan
About a year and a half ago, I sat at my desk staring at a nearly empty calendar.
“A fresh start,” I told myself.
I had spent so much time imagining all the things I would do with my newfound freedom post-separation—travel, new experiences, fully embracing this next chapter. But now that my custody schedule was set, and I had real windows of time to myself, I found myself hitting roadblocks.
India and Bhutan had been on my so-called bucket list for years. I wasn’t entirely sure why. India, because I had heard incredible things about the experience. Bhutan? Bhutan had always intrigued me—something about it being called the happiest place on Earth.
On a whim, I emailed my friends at Aman, asking if they thought Bhutan might be open to a partnership. (Translation: I’d share my experience on social media and offer consulting services in exchange for the trip—something I’ve done with hotel groups I’ve worked with for over a decade.)
I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for the changing of the seasons.
Spring Break is just around the corner and I don’t know about you but I’ve already started to add things to my cart. There’s always a smile plastered across my face when we get our first Minnow Swim delivery for the season. Speaking of swim, be sure to check out my favorite swim brands here.
What are your plans for Spring Break this year? I’ve included a few pieces of inspiration from items I came across and loved.
A.Emery Pae Sandals // Johanna Ortiz Pareo // Cult Gaia Bag // Heaven Mayhem Necklace // Hunza G Swimsuit // Felix Bucket Hat
Elina Strappy Sandals // Asceno Pants // Elce Swimsuit // Johanna Ortiz Dress // The East West Clutch // Maria Crocheted Dress // Zimmermann Swimsuit // Loewe Bag // Zimmermann Dress // Amanu Black Sandals //
I still can’t believe it as I am typing these words.
By the time you’re reading this post I will be in the Himalayan kingdom checking off a major bucket list item – the Bhutan Tiger’s Nest Trek.
I don’t even really like hiking (kidding, sort of), but I have always had a wild dream of visiting the Himalayan mountains. The trip will include a lot of hikes, a lot of yoga, visits to temples and, most notably, a visit to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Taktsang Monastery). This recognized and sacred Buddhist site located near Paro in Bhutan and was first built in 1692.
So what to pack? Below you’ll find a few things that are on my list.
I can’t wait to share more about this epic experience!
My happy place? Me, on a beach, in a swimsuit.
Over the years, I’ve grown to love a few brands that consistently deliver the best quality. I keep coming back to them, and they’ve remained a staple in my rotation. I love them because they’re classic, timeless, and their styles always hold up.
I’m starting this list out with the very first swimwear brand I recall having an affinity for – Solid & Striped. They design classic silhouettes with a bit of a twist but I always look back at the swimsuits I’ve worn over the years and miss many of them. I wish I still had the below gingham. I’ve been eyeing the Anne-Marie Luxe Ribbed in Red. The Anne-Marie always fits so incredibly well!
I have a few Eres suits and they’re hands down my favorite. I wear them year after year and they always made it to my packing list. The quality is simply unparalleled. This black one piece always flies out of stock so I’m hoping to pull the trigger on it soon. It’s pricey for a swimsuit but I swear they last and wear well for years.
Speaking of amazing quality, Lisa Marie has been on my rotation for many years and I love the way her suits made me feel. She’s the GOAT of swim and the quality is top notch. I also love that you really won’t find similar styles elsewhere (and if you do they are most likely copycats).
