As most of you know by now (and may be tired of hearing about), I was in Palm Springs for the first time this past weekend for my bachelorette party with nine of my best blogging friends!
For this post, I just wanted to re-cap what we did, where we went, and the outfits I wore. I know many of you had questions on Instagram while I was there, so I hope to cover all of those as well in this post!
We had tons of amazing vendors supply us with items to make our trip even more amazing. Scroll down to the bottom to see all fun party themed decor we used!
Palm Springs Bachelorette Weekend Re-Cap
Day 1:
Aspiring Retiree Sweatshirt I Jean Shorts (under $100) I Adidas Neo Sneakers (under $70) I Chloe Lexa Handbag I Bric’s Luggage I Le Specs Sunglasses I Gold Watch I Silver Bangle ($12 and looks like Yurman!) I
Our flight landed at 7pm so we didn’t get to the house until around 8! This is what I wore on the plane. People think I am so weird wearing shorts, but when I saw it was going to be 100 degrees there every day I didn’t want to take up any room in my suitcase for a pair of jeans! How fun is this ‘Aspiring Retiree’ sweater? It is extremely soft and lightweight!
Day 2:
White and Green Pom Top I White Pom Shorts I Hot Pink Sandals (40% off) I Cactus Bag I White Sunglasses I Gold Watch I Silver Bangle ($12 and looks like Yurman!)
We spent the morning exploring the area and finding some good coffee. We also needed to let the neighbors know we were here and brought them each a bottle of wine (in hopes they would let us play music outside, which was actually forbidden in our neighborhood). One man actually said NOPE when we asked if he minded if we played music quietly. RUDE! And the took the wine!!

Around noon we started getting ready for Manservants. Have you heard of them before? They are based out of LA and NYC. We actually first heard of them on The Skinny Confidential’s blog re-cap about her bachelorette in Palm Springs. We thought it was such a fun idea. I named one of them Harry Potter. They were soooo nice and respectful. They got us drinks whenever we asked, called in our lunch orders, picked up around the pool area, and even walked around the neighborhood to make sure our music wasn’t too loud! Basically anything you asked them to do! One of the girls got me a ‘cabana boy’ bell that we would ring when we were ready for our next drink! It was super fun having them there even though it was for a short time!

On Friday night we had the most amazing dinner at Trio. I would highly recommend making the stop there while you are in palm Springs. I had the pot roast and it was so delicious! This white embroidered dress is so stunning and it is half off right now, so grab it in your size while you can!
Since Friday night was pretty chill, the girls surprised me with a lingerie shower! I had no idea! So sweet <3. They also had a game where they had asked Troy like 50 questions and I had to see how many answers I could match him on. Whenever I got it everyone else had to drink and vice versa. I think we killed it. Pretty easy since most of the answers were ‘Ice Cream’ haha!
Day 3
Khaki Ruffled Skirt I Orange Mules I White Top I Scarf Watch I Cult Gaia Handbag I Karen Walker Sunglasses
On Saturday morning we made another coffee run! How amazing is this turquoise door? I wonder if Troy would ever let me have one?! This ruffled skirt is gorgeous and is on sale this weekend for 40% off (so are the shoes!)
Pink Jumpsuit I Gold Sandals I Gold Earrings I Karen Walker Sunglasses I Cult Gaia Handbag
For lunch we went to Norma’s at The Parker Hotel. The hotel was so beautiful but we did not have the best experience at lunch. We had just shot some photos at the famous pink door (see the shoot here), so we were already pretty hot. It was 105 degrees outside. Yes, it gets that hot in Texas but it hasn’t yet so we weren’t very acclimated. Our photographer nearly had a heat stroke. We go the restaurant and our table was OUTSIDE!!! We were hot from the very beginning and never cooled off. Halfway through our meal everyone kind of looked up and we all agreed we needed to get inside asap. We had to ask for to go boxes for everything. I definitely want to go back again, because the tuna salad sandwich really was to die for!
I wore this gorgeous Pink Jumpsuit to the lunch because I knew it would go so perfectly with The Parker’s orange door! It also comes in white if you aren’t a pink fan!

Due to the weather, we were either in the pool or in the house. It was too hot to lay out or just sit outside in general. I spent most of the day in the pool hanging out on all of our amazing Funboy pool floats! This rainbow one was so fun since it could fit a bunch of us, but they also just came out with one that looks like angel wings #swoon! This pyramid photo may look fun and all, but all of us on the bottom were dying!
Gold Sequin Romper I Gold Sandals I Henri Bendel Mini Handbag I Kate Spade Sunglasses
On Saturday night we ate at 533 Viet Fusion and I think it was all of our favorite meal from the weekend! So good! I had pad thai and a bunch of different lettuce rolls. Definitely a must! This old station wagon outside of our house was everyone’s favorite backdrop. We took so many photos with it!! Oh and for the group photo, our photographer told us to act like a boy band. We found out Lynlee was a true gangster during this shoot, haha!
After dinner we went to a karaoke bar and had a complete blast! Everyone that sang was so good and the bars close at 1 there or we would have been there all night!
A lot of you Dm’d and asked for a less expensive, but similar romper. I looked everywhere and found a few that may work for you! I liked them here:
Day 4:
Kiini Swimsuits I Pool Floats by Funboy
Palm Print Jumpsuit I Hot Pink Sandals (40% off) I Cult Gaia Handbag I Ivory Beaded Earrings
White Maxi Dress I Turquoise Earrings I Straw Clutch
On Sunday we were all on the struggle bus. We didn’t leave the house until 4pm and that was to get lunch/dinner. We sat around by the pool all morning and drank a lot of gatorade and water!
We went to the Draughtsman down the street from our house to eat and it was pretty fun. They have tonsss of different beers and we all got different flights. After lunch/dinner we walked to a super cute ice cream shop! The ice cream melted as soon as we walked outside.
Day 4:
White Lace Romper (60% off!) I Cult Gaia Handbag I Pink Earrings
See more of the Saguaro shoot HERE
Burger Tee I Shorts I Adidas Neo Sneakers I Bric’s Luggage I Chloe Handbag
Monday was our last day but our flight wasn’t until 2 pm. We woke up early to pack and headed to the Saguaro Hotel. I lovedddd it! So bright and colorful and apparently they have tons of pool parties. You can see more of that shoot from yesterday’s post here!
