Off to Palm Springs – the famed playground of Frank Sinatra, Sonny Bono and retired snow birds – this weekend for a girls birthday soiree. Some things I *wish* I was packing:
A vintage swimsuit that I saw on WhatIWore for lounging by the pool, rather IN the pool its going to be 101*…
i know i’m obsessed, i can’t stop looking for the perfect vintage inspired two piece.
a floppy funky beach hat to compliment:

some sunnies to shade out the blazing desert sun:
with this lovely handmade yellow flower beaded corsage by lisa:
And this for cocktails in the evening, post pool time:
with this great Forever21 find, that c scored yesterday:

where I am staying, the Viceroy Palm Springs: Famous past guests include Joan Crawford, Bing Crosby and Clark Gable

what should I read? I finished my book club selection for this month – do you have any good suggestions for me? please drop me a note or leave a comment below

it’s gonna be a hot one, oh yeah. hope you all have a lovely weekend.

sounds like fun…have a fabulous time!
Nice pad. Check out Korakia around the corner for next time. Try Cheeky’s for breakfast on Palm Canyon and take a early morning or dusk hike up behind the Palm Springs Museum. Enjoy!
Yes I think my bracelet would look great on your wrist
as for the perfect two piece? If you are well versed in the golden days of hollywood you would know who esther williams is. If not just wiki. But she has had her own swimsuit company for years and she makes custom 50’s swimsuits just like she wore in her movies. I believe its on her official site. Can’t get any more authentic than that!
