For Day 3 I am going for a rock inspired look with some country style accents. I am loving this shirt by Sugar tees because it says Indio which is perfect since that's where I'm staying! It is also a muscle shirt which I love because it keeps me cool and gives off an edgy vibe. I paired it with high waisted jean shorts and this arrow jewelry from Kollectin! The shirt even has these berry accents which match my sunglasses. Rock on!

Girls Brunch in Palm Springs at the Brand New AC3 Restaurant in Hotel Paseo

On the final day of Stagecoach I started off the morning with a nutritious and tasty brunch at the AC3 restaurant at the Hotel Paseo in Palm Springs. This chic modern spot has a great menu full of delicious options and luckily I got to try a ton of them because I got invited to a girls media brunch where I had a great time meeting so many successful women in the media industry. Many of them were also covering Stagecoach and some were just food and lifestyle writers who were covering the opening of the restaurant. I got some great tips from the photographer sitting next to me so I was able to capture these gorgeous photos of the brunch for you guys!


I decided to order a shrimp salad and yogurt parfait because they both sounded super healthy and I wanted something sweet to top off my meal. The shrimp salad was amazing and definitely something I'd recommend. It was so filling too! I loved the seasoning they used and the little pieces of grapefruit in the salad that added a tropical twist to the dish. The yogurt parfait was perfect for dessert and was filled with fresh fruit and granola. It also could've been a meal on its own really. I loved hanging out with the other bloggers and reporters in this restaurant. We had a great table with a view of the popular Palm Springs shopping street El Paseo. The decorations in the restaurant were minimalist but colorful with some desert vibes. Afterwards I had a great time exploring more of the hotel Paseo as well. This boutique hotel had so many cute decorations including retro pictures of celebs who loved vacationing in Palm Springs as well as a fun outdoor back patio. I love this cool Cali sign! Pretty soon it was time to rush off to the festival but I would definitely reccomend this restaurant for anyone looking for great service and high quality flavor! Don't forget to check out my Day 3 post to see what I wore to the last day of the festival and more!

Boots On Stage x Chevy Stagecoach Pre-Party in the Desert

Today I headed over to the Chevy x Boots On Stage Pre-Party at an awesome estate in the desert. Before heading over to the second day of the festival I started off my day with a fun lakeside get together hosted by Chevy Trucks and Boots on Stage. The party was full of fun games and snacks as well as some great music on the stage getting everyone in a festival mood.


For truck fans there was the ultimate Chevy truck experience where guests could ride in their brand new 2018 Silverado and test out all the offroading features! A driver took guests on a daredevil ride across the desert that ended with a giant ramp the truck drove over. The whole experience looked like something out of a theme park! I enjoyed a lemonade under the cabanas they had set up while listening to the band and relaxing in the shade. Then I headed over to the lawn for games including a giant bowling set and cornhole beanbag toss.


There was also a special Levi's denim truck giving out custom Levi's Jean Vests that guests could have embroidered with their name or initials. I got mine with my signature SC initials and am so excited for my new statement piece! Throughout the afternoon several more celebrity guests continued to show up including Olivia Culpo and ... The party really got everyone in the Stagecoach mood with all their country themed activities down to even the smallest detail like these cute boot shaped drink cups!

I loved sitting by the scenic lake at this desert escape listening to the country classic by the Zach Brown Band "Toes in the Water Toes in the Sand"

Today, I'm wearing my favorite festival wear from Sugar t-shirts again going with this adorable summer number that says "we mermaid to be friends"! This shirt is great because it can be worn long or short. I chose to tie it up and paired it with my favorite pair of jean shorts from Free People. The lace on these shorts goes perfectly with the girly details on the shirt! I finished the look with some cowboy booties since it is Stagecoach and accessorized with these seaside themed Kollectin jewels. going with the mermaid theme, I chose this cute pearl ring and matching pearl and tassle necklace. Don't forget to shop my Kolelctin jewelry store for all the latest looks! When I wasn't at the festival I enjoyed living that mermaid life by the pool at my resort.

H2O Beauty Stagecoach Pre-Party at Zenyara

This morning I kicked off the first day of Stagecoach at the awesome H2O Beauty pre-party where tons of performers gave intimate shows and a sneak peak of what was to come later on during the festival. Several amazing brands also took part in the pre-festival celebration including...Fab Fit Fun, H2O Beauty, and more! It all took place at the stunning Zenyara resort where Gigi Hadid stayed for Coachella and where several other celebs have vacationed!

This place was absolutely gorgeous you guys! This little oasis in the desert is perfect for parties and even has a giant pool and private beach area! It was definitely hot but luckily H2O had us covered with their signature hydrating mist.

Staff came around spraying guests with the cooling mist all morning so we stayed photo ready for the entire party! It definitely made you feel like a star. They also had some amazing food for us to try including fresh fruit and avocado toast. I had a great time experiencing all the brands they had at the event and got my nails done for the festival later on! I also got my hair done at their braid bar which came out looking amazing.

I grabbed some sweet treats at the Chua Chocolate booth where they were giving out delicious chocolate candy. My favorite flavor was definitely the rasberry filling covered in sprinkles!


I loved my Survival Kit from FabFitFun also at the party! Go check out my video to see all the goodies included inside the kit here!

 After enjoying all the fun stops at the party I headed over to the stage for an up close look at the performances they had lined up. It was so cool to experience performances from bands like Temecula Road, Walker Hayes, Carley Pearce, Seth Ennis, Delta Rae, CB30, Ashley Campbell and Kelsea Ballerini up close hanging out on the beach! Check out my interview with Temecula Road in their trailor following their performance at this party here! 

I got to hear some great new music and loved all the fashion and beauty themed activities at this party plus I am loving my H2O Beauty giftbag! Their products are perfect for the desert because they are all about hydration. I can also see myself using a ton of this stuff anywhere though like their face cleanser and exfoliant. I tried it out and I love how refreshed it makes my face feel! You can definitely tell it is cleansing for sure.

I cant wait to rock out to some awesome music and do all the festival things! Check out my OOTD below! It's going to be a hot one so I'm going with shorts but keeping it country with my boots. I am loving my new festival wear by Sugar T-shirts, and today I'm feeling sassy in this fun "I speak French Fries" shirt from their collection. This shirt is perfect for the festival because it is flowy yet still has a shape and keeps me cool all day. I styled it with some jewelry from my favorite new jewelry app Kollectin! I went with this Fearless necklace because that's how I'm feeling in this awesome outfit! I wore this fun gold and turquoise bangle set because the Aztec patterns are perfect for some desert vibes and the colors compliment the rest of my look!

My Stagecoach Style: Arrival Day

Today I am arriving in Indio California to pick up my tickets for Stagecoach country music festival. California's biggest country music event! I am so excited to be covering the event this year because something you might not know about me is I am a huge country fan! Follow along on my blog and social media for all the latest updates from the festival plus some amazing pre-parties I've been invited to! My festival looks this year are all from one of my favorite brands, Sugar tee shirts. Their looks are perfect for partying in the desert because their shirts are fitted while still being comfortable and each one has a cute saying that really shows off my personality! Today I am wearing this fun pink tank top from Sugar that says "Stay weird" paired with my favorite arrow necklace from Kollectin jewelry. I am wearing this look because I can't wait to see one of my favorite singers, Kacey Musgraves perform her hit song "Follow your arrow wherever it points" later on this weekend. I paired it with some simple jean shorts so I can easily head out to the pool as soon as I get checked in. It's going to be a hot one but that's not stopping me!

Romeo and Juliet Couture Presents a Fresh Runway Show with Directives West

Check out these fresh spring looks from NYC based fashion label Romeo and Juliet couture. Their fashion show was full of trendy styles while still keeping true to their brand with girly details and feminine silhouettes. My favorite look is this floral skirt and ruffle top which can be worn as a street style outfit or dressed up for a professional spring office outfit. I am also loving the leopard print faux fur on this jacket since animal prints are definitely in this season. The graphic designs in the last look are so in and perfect for making a statement. Can't wait to see what's next from this brand!
