desert destination
In honor of Coachella, I am finally getting around to a quickie post about my Palm Springs vacation a couple weeks ago. The desert really is one of my favorite places to unwind. It’s so magical, especially this time of year when the temps are engaging & the wildflowers are blooming.
Ace Hotel Swim Club tank, one of my favorite poolside scenes in ps
The Saguaro - tried out a new hotel this trip (my favorite is The Parker). I’d heard good things about the new(ish) Saguaro, which joins the Joie de Vivre family & the raging motel makeover trend…maybe it was spring break, but the pool scene was overrun with kiddos & marking out your pool chair real estate was super agro. They did graciously check us in considerably early, the poolside menu was tasty & the beds were super comf. They also offer a morning yoga class & bikes.
Pool essentials — SPF, sunnies, Panama hat, & marg. The vibrant colors on display at the hotel represent the local wildflowers.

Some desert-worthy nail art & polish (Wet n’ Wild ‘Sunny Side Up’, 99 cents!)
While we were in town, we also perused Villagefest, a weekly street fair. I picked up some cute earrings from a street vendor to remember the trip.
