Last weekend was my 24th birthday and I wanted to treat myself to a little mini vacation back to California. I’ll be flying solo for this trip, but I’ll end up being super busy catching up with friends, celebrating my belated birthday, and getting tattooed. For this trip, I’ll be flying with a carry-on, which means I have to be more conscious of what I’m packing.

After LA Fashion Week, I decided it was time to get away from the city and relax for the day. My boyfriend and I decided it'd be a good idea to go to the desert to check out the Super Bloom, so we ended up at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
Tall palm trees, rocky desert mountains, beautiful motorcycles, and vintage cars. These were what greeted me when I visited the Paradise Road Show in Palm Springs, CA
