It’s no secret The Parker Palm Springs is one of my favorite weekend getaway spots. Jeff and I try to go a few times a year. I consider myself somewhat of a seasoned veteran of what to pack for a desert getaway. One thing I always like to do is arrive with a swimsuit under my clothes. That way if the room isn’t ready I don’t have to worry about rummaging through my suitcase for one and changing in a bathroom stall. I thought I’d share two easy-peasy travel looks that can take you from the car to the pool without worry.

This past weekend I convinced Jeff to take me to our favorite hotel, The Parker, out in Palm Springs. We love Palm Springs, but there’s something so magical about The Parker and when you’re there you can’t help but feel like you’re in a secret garden on someone’s estate. It’s also special because it’s where Jeff proposed last August, exactly where these photos were taken.

I’ve been loving the off the shoulder trend this summer with tops and dresses. The watermelon color on this one caught my eye immediately. I knew I had to pair it with my flamingo rehearsal dinner shoes and added the citron bag for a fun pop.

When I’m on vacation I love wearing sundresses and rompers more than anything. First of all, they’re easier to pack and they take up less room because you don’t need multiple pieces for an outfit. But I also love their versatility. Take this one from Cheeky Peach, it was  as perfect to wear to brunch as it was over my swimsuit as a coverup for a day at the pool. And let’s talk about embellishments… tassels are my favorite and I can never pass them up.

When we were in Palm Springs last weekend we made a stop at The Parker to walk around and take some pictures. It’s always been a special place to us and it’s where Jeff popped the question last summer. It was our first time back and so fun to re-visit.

I’m very much looking forward to this weekend. I have so many wedding related tasks I need to catch up on and I know we’ll be able to squeeze in some fun as well. Hope yours is just as nice.

I think the best time to buy swimwear is at the end of the summer while the sales are going on and you’re not feeling pressure to find the perfect bikini. I’ve found so many great suits this time of year. This one from WET Swimwear was sent to me, but I love it so much I’d buy it if it wasn’t. While we were in Palm Springs last we snapped these shots by the pool at The Parker, I love how the vintage umbrellas correspond with my swimsuit.
