While Caroline and I were in Palm Springs, we had the opportunity to stay at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club and it was a DREAM. I mean total package. Trendy pool/lounge area, amazing bar + restaurant, and just such a cool laid-back, 70’s vibe. We wandered up to the lounge area that is raised above the bar that had been closed off for a private event the day before and snapped some photos in this mesh-ish top and my new black denim cutoffs that I will be wearing all summer.

I grabbed this tee from Forever 21 as Caroline and I were doing last minute shopping for our weekend and wasn’t too sure how I was going to style it. It was a men’s shirt so I figured I could wear it as a cute cover up but once I tried it on I decided to knot the front and wear some denim with it! It is an awesome, breathable top that will keep you cool and trendy this summer. OF COURSE it is no where to be found online but I have linked  some other palm tree top options, both from Forever 21, below, simply click on the photos and it will take you to the site. Caroline actually bought and styled the collard palm tree shirt for our weekend and it was SO cute. I will link her post when she publishes it!

I am in love with these Levi’s black cut offs!!!! I will seriously be wearing them 24/7 once it is finally warm all of the time. I love them and I will pair everything with them. Graphic tees, collard tops, crops, anything. I can’t wait to style them more and show you guys more ways to wear them!

Also still loving my round framed mirrored sunnies from Urban Outfitters. An easy last touch to a beachy look. We bought these disco-esque pineapple cups from Urban Outfitters as well for some fun desert props for the weekend. Only $13 and super cute.
