R&R
Candela NYC Dress, Michael Kors Wedges, Vintage Aviators
It never ceases to amaze me what a couple days spent in the sun can do for my frame of mind. The Ace Hotel had a hip, retro vibe with a black and white photo booth in the lobby, shampoo that smelled of California tangelos and hammocks that lined the pool. Their ‘Facial’ cocktail, made of muddled mint with vodka, pineapple juice and cucumbers quickly became my go-to choice for a refreshing drink to counter the 82° heat. If you have any specific questions about the hotel, just leave them in the comment section and I’ll be happy to answer.
As a perfect end to my weekend, I found a pair of Miu Miu Naplak Patch Booties (for a fabulous price) at the Desert Hills Outlets that were sold out just about everywhere that I had previously checked. Though I’m typically one for neutral colored shoes (okay, besides these), I simply adore the unique combination of dusty rose, walnut, pink and nude patent leather with an unexpected zipper that runs down the side.

O my lord! For a moment there I thought you were Whitney Port! I’m not sure if you’ll take that as the compliment I meant it to be
And the “Facial” cocktail. I could probably down a jug of that.

I want to try this place out, PS is my happy place. I got married at The Horizon Hotel (www.TheHorizonHotel.com) last June, another great mod hotel.

I bought my FIRST designer dress there, DKNY, and I still have it. I was 15
Hotel looks lovely, saw it featured in InStyle a few days after I knew you were going. Such a GREAT bargain, eh?
PS love the miu miu colours. Love the dress. Miss the sun.

Verrryy cute, reminds me of when the girls all go to Mexico for the SATC movie!! :]

You look like Blake Lively in the hamock photo. Pretty!
Hey! I went to Desert Hills last year when I was flying for Singapore Airlines and it was SO SO great. The best shopping I’ve done anywhere in a long time, it would’ve been great if I’d known you then! And for the record, you’re a lovelier, and if possible, even more California than Blake Lively.
P/S: Love the blog!
add me to the list of people that want to know where did you get the dress or maybe a closeup of the dress
if i can see it up close i’d be able to sew the colorful ruffle to a tube dress i have
I’m heading to Palm Springs in a couple of weeks for my birthday weekend and have been stressing over what to wear! I’m two months pregnant and can’t seem to find anything!!
[...] since I saw Emily’s new Miu Miu Naplak Booties on Cupcakes and Cashmere last year, I have lusted over them. CupcakesandCashmere.com [...]
