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.

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.

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.

New pjs (one of my favorite things to buy).  They are so light & soft, they feel like air. Perfect for spring.

THESE arrived today & I am so excited to debut them at Treasure Island Music Festival this weekend.  These are great cold-weather festival shoes.  It took a MONTH for them to arrive, but the quality is surprisingly good for a Target knockoff of Isabel Marant’s trendy wedge trainer.
