We’re officially 1 week away from Coachella and I’m so excited for this year’s festival!! I can’t wait for a weekend full of amazing music, fashion, pool parties and friends :) I’m already scrambling to plan all my outfits, accessories, and make sure I get everything packed early! Every year I can say I feel more prepared than the last and I finally have a good handle on what to pack to survive the weekend. So whether you’re putting together your packing list for festival season or coachella, I wanted to share some of my MUST-HAVE items +tips for a weekend in the hot desert!

The desert is no joke when it comes to humidity and the sun..every year the temperatures hit over 100 degrees and you’ve got to protect your skin!! My #1 key to surviving the weekend is carrying a good sunscreen with a high SPF and making sure you re-apply every few hours! I love the supergoop SPF because it’s a SPRAY..yes..you just spritz it onto your face and voilaa..your skin is protected and your make-up stays smudge-free ;) Another item I love having with me is my fujifilm instant camera!! There are always so many memories I want to capture..and what better way than to have some fun polaroids to laugh at after all the craziness?
