I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in Palm Springs shooting with Vici! We stayed at the Saguaro Saturday through Sunday and shot tons of looks for new festival season inspired collection! It was so amazing to not only put a face to Paulina, the amazing doll I’ve been working with for SO long now, but to also finally meet some of my FAVORITE bloggers in person! The Vici team is truly an amazing group. The women are not only so sweet and down to earth, but so loving, caring, and kind. It’s hard to come across females these days who you feel truly have your best interest at hand!
I arrived Saturday afternoon where we shot the first half of the looks for the weekend. We were pampered by a full glam squad and used our hotel as the primary setting – so you already know the looks were super bright and fun! After shooting, we freshened up and were thrown a CUTEEE dinner planned by the one and only Jenny (@forrestandj)! Funny story, she and I met a year ago while shooting with Anthro in Newport where she was a stylist at the time. We both were barely beginning our journey in our careers, me with blogging and her with her event planning business. Then fast forward a year and there we were, reunited, able to share all our year’s successes together! LOVE how the world works like that!
For day two, we took it out to the desert. I definitely loved the second day more as it was totally my jam, AND we got to wear the sickest floral head and body pieces made by Corie (@foxtail_florals whom also did the florals for our dinner!). All in all, it was such an amazing weekend. I was so blessed to had just come back from Napa with Anthropologie, totally not expecting to open up to and love yet another group of girls SO easily & quickly. Let’s be real, how often does that happen?! God has blessed me with so many new opportunities with my career this year and it is ONLY March! It’s been crazy hectic but a good crazy hectic – all things I have been able to wrap my head around. My goal for this year was to achieve more without doing more work and so far, I’ve been finding (for the most part) a good balance between knowing when to hustle and knowing when to slow it down.
Below are all the photos taken by Lauren Alexandra. Her work is AMAZING and she was such a doll to work with!
