After three years of living in LA, I have some exciting news to share with you! It’s official — David and I will be relocating to Palm Springs next month shortly after we get back from Cabo! We couldn’t be more excited to start a new chapter in the desert after spending a lot of time there for the past few weeks. Even though we’ll be moving into our new home during the hottest time of the year, we are stoked for a change of scenery and a bigger space. Getting around without traffic, finding a shoot location right when we walk out the door… it’s going to be heavenly!
Speaking of heavenly, how heavenly is this gown?! Just in time for the new season, I have teamed up with Lord & Taylor to share an ethereal Spring look with you guys, featuring this beautiful number by BCBG Maxazria. I actually saw this one in white some time last season and fell in love with the unique design. There’s nothing that screams SPRING more than this dreamy pastel pink color. The way the dress moves with the wind is simply breathtaking. I am a sucker for all things strappy so needless to say, this silhouette is a must-have for me. Lord & Taylor offers so many different brands and carries a plethora of styles to suit every taste. Since I am a major dress hoarder, I have been stocking up on many for the warmer coming months.
Now back to this dress… if the photos haven’t spoken for themselves enough, it’s a very versatile one. I could totally see this being worn out to a fancy date night or even as a bridesmaid dress. Coupled with the right accessories and heels, it is a super elegant piece — in and out of the desert 😉 The fit is pretty comfortable, though I couldn’t get away with not wearing a bra with this one. For reference, I got this in a size 0 and I’m a true 32B. The chest area is a bit loose on me, but it’s nothing that a little push-up bra can’t fix. The length is perfect with my go-to pair of nude heels. Since the dress has such stunning detailing, I personally love wearing it with minimalistic jewelry. With that said, I’ve stuck with my classic gold pieces to allow the dress to really be the star of the show!
The Palm Springs sunset is something we still have to get used to. These were taken at around 4 pm just right by the entrance of the Aerial Tramway on our way home from downtown Palm Springs. Unlike here in LA, we’ve noticed that the sun goes down incredibly quickly because the high mountains cover the sun completely once it hits a certain point. This is my first shoot during the golden hour in Palm Springs, and you can see how drastically the lighting changed from photo to photo. Luckily, my man knows how to work the camera and we were still able to pull it off 🙂

Thank you so much! Haha LA is getting old… it is overpopulated, always full of traffic, and since we work from home we would rather get a bigger space for less and have better quality of living. I’ll miss being close to the beach but at least we will have a pool 😉
So much exciting going on in your life right now babe! I’m so happy for you and David finding a place with less hassle and traffic and with beautiful locations right outside your front door! That sounds like the sun is setting really early over there, but like you said, the mountains play a part in that.
As for the dress, you’re right about everything else, but the true star in the pictures is still you. No way of getting around that fact! 🙂

Thanks Thomas! We are stoked for a year-round summer too LOL. The sun set pretty quickly the week we shot this set because it was before daylight savings too — went back to Palm Springs this week to take some measurements of our new home and we were able to get away with shooting much later — phew 🙂 hehe if you’re ever in the area, you definitely need to visit us!
What a beautiful dress and photos!!

First of all, how absolutely flawless is this gown & you look soo sooo beautiful, sweetie!! Secondly, congrats on the move!! Yaaayy!!! So excited for you! When I first read the news on your Insta, I knew exactly what you were feeling/going through. I moved countries (!!) 2.5 years ago and then had to move across the new country about 1,5 years ago. While we are still getting used to the new place, it’s important to remember to make/take the best of your current situation and location. I am sure you will LOVE Palm Springs for as long as you’re going to stay there. Yay to the new adventures!! And hope you’re having an amazing time in Cabo – we spend one week of our honeymoon there (another one in Vegas & NYC) – it was magical 🙂
