Girls Weekend Getaway: Palm Springs

December 21, 2018 by Madison

Hi! Welcome back to Vogue and a Latte! I am super excited to share these photos and spots in Palm Springs, one of the most relaxing places on earth.

I am here to tell you all about my girls weekend in Palm Springs last weekend. It was truly a desert dream with some of my favorite gals (Anna, Kenzie, & Tori)! We all piled into my tiny fiat and headed out to our trendy house in Palm Springs. I am going to be talking a LOT about our perfect Airbnb, that I will link here for you guys to book your future getaways! It was one of the best Airbnb’s that I have ever stayed at. There was a concrete wall surrounding the property and a gate that opened and closed with a code, we felt so safe which is crucial when it is 4 girls staying together. The decor was on point ( the house is actually famous for its design ) and we could have photographed for hours inside the house. Zedd actually shot his most recent lyric video in this house. The outside was the perfect backdrop for our photography dreams. Cacti and desert all around us.

Coachella: A need to know basis

Thanks for stopping by Vogue and a Latte! And welcome to your inside scoop to Coachella. I decided to break the Coachella posts into 2 posts – things you need to know before going and things you need to pack before going. This post is going to highlight everything I wish that I had known before going to Coachella. That being said, even though I didn’t know these things prior to my fest experience, it was still an experience of a lifetime and I cannot WAIT to head for round 2 next year.

Seriously, if you can go, go.

PRO TIP: Tickets go on sale before the lineup is even announced. They go on sale in June/July the year before ( aka Coachella 2019 will go on sale in about 1 or 2 months ), so join the mailing list and keep an eye out for the pre-sale date! It’s the way to go. You can choose a payment plan or pay for it all at once, whatever your bank account allows. Also, you can buy two tickets at once, so to ensure that you and your friends can all go before they sell out, I would purchase two at a time and utilize Venmo for those payments. I also suggest will-call. Since I have been moving around so much, I had them shipped to one address and then I moved and they weren’t delivered and they do not reship bands. Those bands are like gold and if you lose them you are basically SOL. So will-call ensures that you don’t lose them along the way or in the mail and the process is super easy. Also, GET THE SHUTTLE PASS WITH YOUR TICKET. I cannot stress this enough. Unless you plan on camping, the shuttle pass will be priceless. Uber is a nightmare around the fest – it’s expensive and there is zero service.

Alright, I’m gonna break it down from start to finish

Hiiiiii everyone.

Welcome back to FaF! It’s been a little while since my last post because life has been CRAZY. Planning trips, shooting all of the time, working, blogging, eating healthy, social life, the list goes on and on and on! But the great thing about loving what you do is that it never feels like work! Sure there are time when I would really rather not edit 60 photos or reply to 20 emails but with the end goal in mind, it makes it all worth it.
