We kicked off spring at the Nest with an influencer trip to Palm Springs with sunshine on our shoulders and our latest styles in tow. For this dreamy desert getaway, we checked into the iconic Sands Hotel Palm Springs, the colorful desert hotel known for its unmistakable charm and effortlessly chic, mid-century modern Palm Springs aesthetic.
The Ultimate Desert Escape
Joining us for this sun-soaked retreat were Bella Pringle (@isabellapaige_), Jaylee Clarke (@jayleeclarkee), and Lindsay Hoskins (@whimzylindzy). Poolside lounging, behind-the-scenes fashion shoot moments, and endless influencer style inspiration were all captured in one of the desert’s most photogenic destinations.
Spring Style, Desert Edition
Here, our Spring 2026 collection felt right at home. Designed for California’s warm-weather wandering, these were pieces made for desert getaway style with equal parts elevated and easy, blending resort wear with everyday versatility.
The stylish Sands group stepped out in styles like the PHOEBE ballet mule, a fresh update to the classic ballet flat that features ultra-soft leather, a feminine toe shape, and a leather-wrapped memory foam sole to keep up with every plan on the itinerary. Bella styled her peony Phoebes with a fun and flirty skirt and cutest crochet top.
The PETEY leather ballet brought a wear-everywhere ease with its elasticized, super soft leather that gently hugs the foot. Jaylee paired her flats in vanilla with an all-white outfit for an effortlessly on-trend, sun-soaked look.
For slightly dressier desert moments, the SWALLOW added a touch of polish with its softly pointed toe, elegant strap, and cushioned leather footbed. Lindsay wore her tomato pair with a printed dress for a perfect pop of color.
A Packing List Worth Repeating
For anyone planning their own escape, consider this a mini Palm Springs travel guide. Breezy silhouettes, easy layers, sun-washed tones, and of course comfortable, stylish shoes that you can wear from morning coffee to golden hour cocktails — when packing for a Palm Springs getaway, versatility (and a little bit of desert polish) is everything.
New in the Nest
This trip was more than just a brand trip. . . it was a celebration of what’s new in the Nest. A reminder that great style travels well, and that the right pair of shoes can carry you anywhere. . . from the Nest to Palm Springs and beyond.
