Shades of Yellow

June 21st, 2010



Anthropologie Blouse, Mint Skirt, Madewell Belt, Marni Heels, J.Crew Necklace, Free People Sunglasses

When I pack for Palm Springs, there are hardly any neutrals in my suitcase.  I love to embrace the bright colors of the desert and dress accordingly in sunshiney yellows, vivid oranges with red lips at night.  The weather was hot and dry this weekend and I brought along some light blouses (here are some other options) as a chic alternative to the cotton cover-ups I lounged in by the pool.  I took a bunch of pictures of our beautiful stay that I’m still sorting through that I can’t wait to share tomorrow.

P.S. I want to wish a happy 30th anniversary to my parents who have been such wonderful examples of what true love and companionship truly is.
