Although Palm Springs is only a two-hour drive away from home, I felt like I was in another world this past weekend. Palm Springs sprung me deep into spring, complete with poolside lounging, dress wearing (above in , below in , last pic in ), and sun basking. My sis and I hit vintage stores, furniture galleries, monumental Desert X exhibits, and a delicious off-the-beaten track vegan restaurant (Chef Tanya's Kitchen). We also gleaned some supermodel swimsuit cover-up tricks from fellow Parker Hotel guest Alessandra Ambrosio, who inspired us to tie our shirts around our waists like a sarong ( and ), and worked our gold necklace game (now I want this one by !) All in all, a fun re-charge for this long week ahead.
