So this past weekend I attended Belvedere Vodka’s Belve Music Lounge party in honor of Coachella weekend! As I’m sure you know, Belvedere is one of my favorite vodkas and so naturally, I was thrilled to receive the invite. The lounge was held at a private estate about 5 minutes from the Coachella festival and my friends and I hung out by the pool and sipped on some specialty Belvedere Coachella-inspired cocktails– my favorite was the Belve Beat! (check HERE for all of the recipes).
So last year I had my first Coachella experience and loved it but alas, even though Coachella is next weekend (!), I’m still not sure if I’m going or not, haha. All that aside, I got the inside scoop on the exclusive Belve Music Lounge, hosted at a private estate in Palm Springs. This way, even if I don’t end up going, I can at least drink like I’m there.

So I’ll be attending my very first COACHELLA this weekend and I’m simply so excited I can barely think about anything else. One, I’ve never been to Palm Springs and two, my friends and I rented an amazing mansion and I’m looking forward to a long weekend of relaxing by the pool, parties and, of course, plenty of sun. I’ve been asking around what I should be packing for my little trip to the desert and everyone’s been telling me that for one, it’s H-O-T hot and also kind of hippyish. Here’s what I’m thinking:
Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Sunblock Spray SPF 70 – No explanation really necessary. The desert sun is super strong and what I love about this sunblock is that the spray actually cools you off, making the re-application process even more enticing.
Epicuren Aloe Vera Gel – No matter how many times I apply and re-apply sunblock, I always seem to miss at least a little spot of skin that results in a burn. This luxurious aloe vera gel soothes the skin and promotes faster healing.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier bag – I just purchased this bag from my beloved Shopbop.com and its already sold out in black on the site! It’s a perfect Coachella bag because of the great strap that can also make it a messenger bag.
A87 solid fedora – LOVE this hat and it’s super cheap. It’s important to protect my scalp and hair color (it fades in the sun!) from the sun’s harmful rays. Plus, I like how I look in hats.
Seychelles Layover gladiator sandals – I bought these gladiators a few months ago and I wear them at least 4 times a week. They’re super comfortable and I love their slightly edgy look.
