It’s been a heck of a year, and after a let-down of a summer, Labor Day Weekend—known to our French counterparts as La Fête du Travail, and celebrated in the motherland on May 1, just FYI—is the perfect excuse to get out of town.
Clocking in at a reasonable two hours on the road, Palm Springs is the perfect holiday weekend destination—if you can stand la chaleur, that is. Temps are known to hit the three digit mark, even in the fall months, but nothing that can’t be fixed with a little AC and a quick dip in la piscine.
Peep the packing list below for all the essentials—all linked to shop via LiketoKnow.it—and get ready for some serious fun in the soleil.
Bonnes vacances mes amies, and if you’re staying home this weekend, click here for a fabulous list of French-themed beach reads.
Le Bikini; Shein
With its ribbed texture and frilly ruching, an ivory two-piece is an instant classic.Sunscreen; Sun Bum
The award for the best-smelling suntan lotion always goes to SunBum in my opinion. That goes for the entire range of creams, sprays, lotions, and lip balms.An extra dark tan is the best way to make up for lost time spent indoors. This whipped mousse is quick to develop and easy to apply.
SPF Oil; Super Goop
For extra sun protection plus the sheen of a tanning oil, SuperGoop makes the perfect spray to keep skin glistening while protecting it from those harmful rays.Hand Cream; Victoria’s Secret Beauty
Regular hand washing can leave hands super dry. Keep them moisturized with this palm-print crème pour les mains from Victoria’s Secret Beauty.Bijoux; Shein
A cool-girl chain, like this one from Shein adds instant glam to any look—even poolside.Fragrance; Giorgio Beverly Hills
A little spritz of this eau de luxury scent will make you feel like you’re posted up Cabana style at the Beverly Hills Hotel.Hair Curling Wand; Foxy Bae
I love the tropical print on this Foxy Bae hair wand that creates perfect beach waves every time.
