It’s been a few years since gladiator sandals have registered in my mind as a thing I do but this merrily embellished, moderately heeled version seemed like a choice to wear simple summery pieces with. There’s a slight New Mexico gift shop quality to them that I really enjoy the challenge of toning down. Here’s yesterday at the festival because yes I think I have accidentally permanently relocated to Palm Springs.

Sunday’s look at Diesel’s takeover of Tally Horse Ranch in La Quinta. The perfectly beaten up belt was one of six that I bought from a vintage store by the Tribeca Grand last September, I’m set for life now and it’s a good feeling. I looped it through a tiny pair of Iro shorts and tucked in BCBG’s perforated tank to properly display the buckle. So glad I didn’t wear a dress so I could preserve some dignity while plummeting off a seesaw about five minutes after these shots were taken. The only thing that makes you feel even more nostalgic than mounting a seesaw in the first place.

Flower crowns were being made on the spot at the Lacoste party and now I’m obsessed with you, Cult Gaia. They were using real flowers at the event (head smelled perfect all night, face was tear stained over the wilted petals the next morning) but the fabric versions online seem almost as magical. Daisy version!

Friday’s festival look shot on the ol’ G12. Suffocating heat is so my happy place.

I got this Isabel Marant skirt in Paris – the loincloth vibe and minimal surface area were so perfect for Coachella. I’ll post the full look from day one next!
