This past weekend, I had the exciting opportunity of getting all glammed up and heading out to Coachella on a sponsored trip with Herbal Essences & Socialstars by Crowdtap!

With my fellow #CoachellaHerbalista’s McKenna, Gabi & Elizabeth!

We were swept up by private drivers who brought us to Coachella and stayed in luxury Safari Tents with the ultimate glamping amenities like air conditioning, private restroom/showers, open bar, all day snacks, our own shuttles to/from and between the stages well as personal shoppers and VIP access to front row sections & the Artist Lounge where all the performers hang out between shows. It was definitely the best experience anyone could have for their first time to the music festival! Of course we were stocked up with Herbal Essences new body washes to keep us fresh and clean and smelling delicious along the way!

It was so much fun making new friends and getting to know the girls better like my roommate (or tentmate?), ever so sweet and inspiring GabiFresh, blond bombshell McKennaBleu & my fellow LA fashion blogger, Elizabeth Keene – I had a blast with these three! We saw some amazing shows including HAIM, Tom Odell, Bastille, Ellie Goulding, Outkast, Kid Cudi, Lorde, Solange, Pharrell, Skrillex, Nas, Calvin Harris & Lana Del Rey!

Thank you again, Herbal Essences & Socialstars by Crowdtap for having me! It was definitely an experience I’ll always remember & I’ll be reminded every time I use my Herbal Essences body washes 😉 ! I loved all the scents, by the way! My favorites would have to be Happy Go Lather & Honey I Smell Good!

Have you tried Herbal Essences Body Wash?

Marc Jacobs Daisy: Let The Sunshine In

Photos by Chris Dyer.

Marc Jacobs Daisy & Daisy Eau So Fresh fragrances make me feel like frolicking at the park so that’s exactly what I did 🙂 I adore how fresh and bright they both are. Daisy has such a warm, happy and charming scent while Daisy Eau So Fresh is more vibrant and whimsical. Wearing them instantly boosts my mood, transporting me to a fun summery picnic at the park without a care in the world!

Have you tried either scents? Which is your fave?

Music Festival Palm Springs What To Wear

Coachella Wanderlust

We spent this past weekend at Coachella attending a bunch of amazing parties (check out my instagram #paintingCOACHELLApink for fun photos of the festivities). While there, we visited my friend Sydne Summer’s Tide event at the BMF Music Lounge and of course had to take advantage of our coordinating outfits for a hippie chic photo op! We both wore Brahmin’s super cute Lexie bucket bag with maxi silhouettes so it was a Coachella-ready pairing and Sydne happen to have had an extra floral crown for me to rock which really coordinated perfectly with my skirt. It was so much fun party hopping along the way! Check out Sydne’s post on SydneStyle to see her outfit details, too!

I’m also excited to announce that I’ll be heading back out to Coachella tonight with Herbal Essence! This will be my very first time actually attending the music festival (and not just the parties) so I’m super stoked and SUPER NERVOUS! Have you been to Coachella or any similar music festivals? Follow along my trip this weekend on Instagram @HautePinkPretty!

Dinner at RivaBella

Last week, we had the pleasure of dining at RivaBella, a beautiful Italian restaurant by the Innovative Dining Group in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Luigi Fineo. After we were seated and placed our drink orders, in walks this pretty young thang 😉 my bestie Sheryl & her husband! The restaurant was packed & fully booked but they managed to squeeze together two smaller tables for the perfect spontaneous double date. It was the ideal situation since we wanted to try so many dishes!

Poached Lobster with ricotta, candied cashews & peach – fresh and light, the ricotta was a beautiful compliment.

Sea Bream Crudo with pink peppercorns, lemon & olive oil.

Grilled Whole Branzino with a salt duo & salmoriglio – by far our favorite dish of the night! The black salt was delicious and the perfect light seasoning to the branzino. Each of us would have happily ordered our own (next time!)

Prime Bone-In Rib Eye – wood-fired 20 oz rib eye with rosemary olive oil.

Shellfish Caciucco with lobster, Scallop, prawn, mussel & tomato, served with toasted ciabatta – delicous and unexpectedly light! Make sure you ask for extra bread to sop up all of the amazing sauce!

New Caledonian Prawns with fennel, cauliflower & pesto – lovely grilled flavor with just the right amount of seasoning.

Table-side house made vanilla ice cream sundae cart! The ice cream was light and tasted much more like birthday cake than vanilla and a zillion times amazing!

The Cronut dessert filled with custard (there was a much fancier & prettier name for this but it escapes me) – this was so decadent, we each savored every bite!

Blueberry Pie with cream cheese crust, typically served with vanilla gelato (we had it served on the side) – this was the perfect comfort dessert! The crust was perfectly fluffy and crisp while still rich and indulgent. Definitely a favorite, too!
