In 'Pack With Me,' influencers and editors give us a rundown of their travel must-haves and a few travel hacks to go along with them. For this installment, Jasmine Tookes shared what essentials are in her suitcase for a trip to Palm Springs, CA.
Victoria's Secret model and Joja activewear co-founder Jasmine Tookes is one of the many celebrity faces to frequent Coachella in Palm Springs, CA, so it's no surprise she has a grasp on festival fashion. But Tookes, 33, lives in LA, so Palm Springs is a repeat destination on her travel list. She visits the desert oasis for casual weekend getaways, hitting up brunch hot spots like the Parker and Farm in the desert heat. While festival season trends range from decorative bows to fringe and cowboy boots to wild nail art, Tookes tells PS she prefers to keep her Palm Springs style classic and simple.
"Whenever I'm in Palm Springs it's all about relaxing," Tookes says. "Waking up and getting some sun by the pool is the perfect start to any Palm Springs morning. If I am there for the festival, I usually head there around 4 p.m. as the heat starts to go down. Listening to music during sunset is such a nice vibe when you are surrounded by all of your friends."
This season, Tookes styled VS's Dream Angels Wicked Corset Teddy with RŌARI's Stella Skirt at the CELSIUS Cosmic Desert Event for a flirty take on festival fashion. She accessorized with gold jewelry and her Saint Laurent sunglasses — one of the first Palm Springs essentials she mentioned when listing off the must haves in her suitcase. She still regards a white satin dress with a thin belt and flats as her favorite festival outfit of all time.
Of course, there are plenty more items she takes with her on a trip to Palm Springs, from a Sony camcorder for recording memories with friends to cult favorite beauty products like Rhode's Peptide Lip Treatment and face sunscreen.
Ahead, find out what to pack for Palm Springs, CA, according to Tookes.
