Girls Weekend

palm-springs-long-dress.jpg

Every few months, I have a insatiable desire to visit the desert.  There’s something so therapeutic about the dry heat, plentiful drinks and quiet evenings that you simply can’t recreate anywhere else.  This trip will be slightly different than ones from the past (seen here, here and here) since it’s a Bachelorette Party, but I can’t wait to slip into my bikini and fall asleep in the sun.

Enjoy and relax!

27 The Lil Bee { 03.19.10 at 5:08 am }

Oh, have SO much fun! I am trying to plan a girls’ weekend now for my friends and it is so hard. Once you hit 30, it becomes a game of who’s pregnant, who can’t drink, who just had a baby and can’t leave yet?! I have to quickly plan it and send out the deets before anyone else gets knocked up! SO, have a marg or two for me, will you?! xo

28 Amy { 03.19.10 at 5:44 am }

Wow, sounds awesome :) Have fun and wear sunscreen ;)

29 AD { 03.19.10 at 5:45 am }

I’m stuck in freezing weather so I’m really jealous but I have an off topic question..what’s your view on clogs that are reappearing for this spring/summer?

30 C. { 03.19.10 at 5:48 am }

Have a great time! I can’t wait until it’s warm enough in Chicago to wear a dress like that..

31 Lindsey { 03.19.10 at 5:51 am }

the dress is beautiful!

32 Teatime In Tulle { 03.19.10 at 5:52 am }

The weather here in London is just starting to brighten and we have temperatures of a whopping 15 degrees today – trust me, that’s warm if you’re a girl from the north of England!

Your trip sounds fabulous and is making me very excited about my impending holiday to Sicily and all the lovely shopping I need to do in preparation! :)

33 Aimee { 03.19.10 at 6:00 am }

I absolutely LOVE the desert. I vacationed in Palm Springs a few years ago and I fell in love with California in general, but also the sultry dry heat and the constant sunshine. I’m jealous that you’re going!

34 mila { 03.19.10 at 6:08 am }

Omg, I love the picture. Sounds like so much fun!! Have a great trip.

35 Parker { 03.19.10 at 6:08 am }

I LOVE this! My and a couple of my friends are trying to pull together a girls trip before we all venture out into the working world.

37 Runway Hippie { 03.19.10 at 6:20 am }

NYC is just starting to get beautiful warm weather! I can’t wait to lie out in Central Park this weekend. I’d much prefer to be by a pool though! Have a wonderful weekend!

xo,

I miss Southern California so much, but like Runway Hippie said, NYC is finally seeing some nice weather, thank goodness!

39 The Boob Nazi { 03.19.10 at 6:45 am }

I want a girls weekend. My friend and I want to go to a spa after we graduate from grad school and just relax for a few days. I need one.

40 Michelle { 03.19.10 at 6:46 am }

Sounds like a wonderful bachelorette weekend. I am dying for sunny skies and pool weather but here in ATL we are still suffering from below normal temps… I’ll be thinking of your weekend fun as my friend and I find excuses to cruise around with the top down this weekend. Can’t wait to see the beautiful pics!

41 bianca { 03.19.10 at 6:53 am }

I love the desert, I look forward to Coachella every year! T minus 29 days!!

42 Courtney { 03.19.10 at 6:58 am }

I’ve been to Palm Springs once in my life and had so much fun. I really had fun at the outlet mall as well. Enjoy your time there!

43 Couldihavethat { 03.19.10 at 7:22 am }

I can’t get enough of the desert! I too go back every few months. Best place for a bachelorette weekend too! Have fun!

44 Sofia { 03.19.10 at 7:22 am }

I love your blog! Really good job.

45 Kelly { 03.19.10 at 7:25 am }

48 fashiontheorist { 03.19.10 at 7:43 am }

Ooh, I’m a little jealous. We try to get out to the desert every spring and didn’t manage it this year. Have a fabulous time and soak up some golden sunshine for me!

49 penny. LA { 03.19.10 at 7:49 am }

LA’s weather been fantastic lately!

I do enjoy the desert, but I’m more of a Santa Fe-desert type of girl rather than Palm Springs. But do enjoy yourself… can’t wait to see photos from your visit!

60 christina { 03.19.10 at 10:53 am }

i’m sure it will be a lot of fun. enjoy it!

61 the Duchess { 03.19.10 at 11:02 am }

It’s my first time to the blog too – I’m in love. And I have a secret obsession with the desert, there’s something about leaving LA for the weekend and going out to Palm Springs or Joshua Tree. I love the dry heat, the open spaces and the peace. Love the blog~ Merci!

62 Jammer { 03.19.10 at 11:28 am }

Great idea! I love it when girls don’t just go for the traditional bachelorette party – sounds like you are going to have a blast!

63 Jocy { 03.19.10 at 11:34 am }

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the desert, too. Have fun.

64 Rachel (heart of light) { 03.19.10 at 11:40 am }

Yay! Have so much fun!

And let’s plan a happy hour night next week, shall we?

69 Maria { 03.19.10 at 2:46 pm }

Emily, if in Palm Springs this weekend, stop in at the new Riviera if you haven’t already been. Great for drinks, and be sure to see the trefoil pool!
Was just there last weekend–went up to 4 feet of snow at the top of the tram and back down into high 70′s in Tahquitz Canyon (not bachelorette type of fun, but put it on your list for next year’s trip).
Enjoy!

70 Jaclyn { 03.19.10 at 2:53 pm }

I’ve only been out to the desert areas (Palm Springs) twice before but I hope to make a lot more trips now that I’m living in LA. Love it! Have fun!

71 Barblin { 03.19.10 at 3:22 pm }

Lovely!

Can’t wait to go to Coachella this spring and escape the cold of NYC (ok, ok, yesterday and today were BEAUTFUL)!

See you there?

XO, B.

72 Alaina { 03.19.10 at 3:54 pm }

For a second there I thought YOU were getting married!

But have fun at the party. I’m sure it will be marvelous.

75 Closet Cravings { 03.19.10 at 5:24 pm }

I guess I’m an outsider, cause I hate the desert. Bikinis, warm weather and cocktails- yes, please. =)

76 Nicole Francois { 03.19.10 at 5:59 pm }

I too was recently inspired by the desert and all these earthy pale tones showing up in the Spring collections: http://quicksaidthebird.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/desert-dawn/

77 SWEATshirt DRESSshirt { 03.19.10 at 7:27 pm }

my old roommate has a house in desert springs. she loves it! i’ll have to make a trip down there one of these days. looks like you’re having fun. i love that dress, and it’s bright colors are perfect for the sunny weather. btw, tomorrow is the first day of spring!

Sounds so nice, have a great trip. Here in Denmark, it’s rainy and cold, so I find a little comfort in all of your delicious sunny pictures ;)

83 Kinsey Michaels { 03.20.10 at 5:50 am }

That sounds like it will be such a fun time! Bachelorette parties are always a blast :) I’m ready to enjoy a little bit of the spring here in the Boston area. It’s going to reach past 70 degrees today, which is almost unheard of for March! Have a great weekend.

93 Stephanie { 03.21.10 at 2:27 am }

Hi Emily,
Your blog posts always inspire, and right now I’d give anything to make the trip from Belgium to California. When is the best time to visit though? I’d love some good weather, but I don’t need summer heat to enjoy myself. The boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Italy this summer, but we don’t have plans for the Christmas holidays yet… Would that be a good time, or how’s the weather then?
Cheers!
Stephanie

94 Megan { 03.21.10 at 8:11 am }

woo hoo! three cheers for girls time : ) hope you have an amazing trip.
