I LOVE LOVE LOVE Palm Springs. My fondest memories include being 16 and driving up and down, up and down and up and down the strip over spring break. So when invited for a weekend "OUT OF TOWN" I said
"YES, YES, YES"
I folded up my favorite Eres bikini plus four others for a two day trip because you never know what might happen and you DO NOT want to be caught without a fresh bikini.
Found my Seaton Pom Pom tunic...This pale pink goes with every bikini I have and always makes me look tanner then I am. LOVE IT.
Slid on my my new KJacques in Leopard
(new at Jill Roberts)
Made sure I had a full bottle of Maui Babe.
With only two days in the sun who has time for sunscreen? Oh gosh I hope my dermatologist does not read this.
Brought a stack of unread magazines.
(I love this cover. Provocative and smart. Barbara Kruger is genius)
Packed the full on 'Deluxe" turntable version of Scrabble...Who wants to be in the sun without Scrabble?
Then headed east into the dessert. After just 1 hour 25 minutes we hit...Paradise!
The OUTLET MALL!
Marni, YSL, Prada and Ralph Lauren (blue and black label) were great. Question? Why do I always trick myself into thinking that the $2500 YSL bag at Neiman Marcus will be $300 at the outlet mall? I am always disappointed but trust me I got over it very quickly...
On to dinner. There is such a great Thai restaurant on Palm Canyon. Thai Smile...yummy.
Great when you are so hungry from so much walking/shopping
Had a drink at the newly renovated Colony Palms Hotel. Martyn Lawrence-Bullard did a great job. The Moroccan flare is warm and sophisticated at the same time.
Next day was spent by the pool, laughing, playing games, pouring on "IT'S A 10" leave in conditioner (makes your hair soooo soft and smooth) and drinking while catching some much needed rays
Then to Matchbox for pizza. Prosciutto and olive's on a very thin crust. Sooo good.
Woke up for a great breakfast at Cheeky's on the way out of town. UNBELIEVABLY great. Fresh squeezed OJ, amazing steel cut oatmeal and something called "The Bacon flight". You get 5 differnt types of bacon...Smokehouse, applewood, jalapeno, maple and extra thick.
CRAZY good (we had two orders)
Then back on the 10 headed west. Palm Springs is so nostalgic for me. I think we are so lucky to have such a great vacation spot so close to home.
Oh and don't forget to stop in at Lavish Bath & Body for custom made body oils and scrubs. You get to choose your scent. I chose Vanilla/Gardenia...mmmmm good! I swear, the scrubs make your skin soft like a baby.
