Happy Tuesday, everyone! I’m back from Palm Springs after the most magical weekend EVER, and not gonna lie… I’m having trouble letting it go! The whole weekend was beyond dreamy, and it made me such a believer in destination weddings!! Everyone was there for the whole weekend, which meant plenty of time for relaxation, hugs, pool hopping around the property, and being in the moment enough to really ENJOY. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen my brother so happy, and Ali was the most beautiful bubbly bride the entire time. Every detail was perfect, but it was the sheer amount of JOY that really struck everyone. Happiness and love and dancing all around. What could be better as you celebrate a couple 10 YEARS in the making?! SWOON.
So now that I’m back, I thought I’d go through my outfits for you guys! I tried to be good about linking throughLikeToKnow.It but if you’re not on Instagram, here we goooo!
Look #1: Poolside
I really wanted a festive new bikini for this vacation, but as we all know – bathing suit shopping can be frustrating. So when I discovered a website called Surania, I immediately knew that was my answer. They have multiple palm prints AND you can pick the style you want AND after you put your measurements in, they’ll make it custom just for you! Umm genius!! I got a high waisted bottom and a low rise bottom so I could switch up the look depending on the day. I’m obsessed and highly recommend them!!
Look #2: Rehearsal Dinner
A few weeks ago, Amanda Uprichardinstagrammed this dressand I had heart eyes immediately. Lucky for me, AU agreed that it was perfect for Palm Springs and sent it over to me. EVEN MORE HEART EYES, right?! Basically, I owe David and Ali a big thank you for not only letting me be a part of their big day… but also giving me a reason to go to Palm Springs and wear/shoot this dress 😉 The full post is coming soon, promise! (solid version here)
Look #3: Getting Ready
Ali has been obsessed with palm print/banana leaf/California everything for a while now – so when they settled on Palm Springs for the wedding, no ordinary “getting ready robes” would do. We found thesePJ setson Etsy and they were absolutely perfect. She even had our first initial embroidered on them 🙂 I may or may not have worn them to bed last night…
In addition to the PJs, she also got us BEAUTIFULLoren Hope earrings,heart sunnies, anOlive +Piper bracelet, andGigi New York clutch(that she got on sale, obvi). She totally spoiled us and I will wear every single thing again and again. Well done, Al!
PS. How cute is my sister?? She just had a baby 8 weeks ago, guys. #GOALS
Look #4: Bridesmaids Dress
Knowing Ali, I knew she probably wouldn’t put her “bridesbabes” in typical bridesmaids dresses… but when we decided to snag some Zimmerman dresses during a Shopbop sale, we were kind of half kidding.Buying BM dresses online?Would this really work?! But with free shipping and returns – why not try? Well, they turned out pretty darn beautiful if I do say so myself! Her sister Dani and I wore this style, Jennie and Jacquie wore this style and Alexis wore this style. So romantic, right??

Look #5: Farewell Brunch
We weren’t the only ones moving a little slow on Sunday morning, but a quick shower, wet hair +my new Madewell crop top and Yumi Kim skirt was all I needed to feel fresh again. Oh, and bacon. Bacon was necessary.
Alright alright enough about me. HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS?!
If this makes you want to see more, I highly recommend stalking the hastag #alikeepsthegoodtimesnolan on Instagram. Dreeeeaaaamy.
Huge congrats again to my sweet brother and new sister. I love you both oh so very much <3
