hammock heaven.

You know those Mondays when you aren't quite ready to roll out of bed and start the week?!?  Well, wouldn't it be amazing to get out of bed and head into the comfort of your living room, and plop down in your hammock?  Yes please.  I'd like an indoor hammock stat, and I think this one from Anthro is gorgeous!

hellloooo, sequins pants.

I'm sorry, but these are a complete necessity, right?!?  That price tag is not calling my name, but those white shiny sequins sure are.  Ekkkkkk, help me find a cheaper pair, pretty please.

vacation style.

So, it's not very often that I find myself trying to put together outfits for warmer weather.  But when I do, it's pretty fun.  Forgoing the daily layering that I find myself doing here in the city, is definitely a welcome departure.  Below are a few outfits that I wore during our time in the desert.  I ordered this plain black dress right before our trip and I'm so happy I did.  It's simple jersey, so it can easily be described as dressed down, but the scoop neckline and low back definitely gives it an edge...soooo me!  Oh and as you can see, I'm obsessed with these floral pants.  Go get yourself a pair stat.

palm springs.

hello, hello!  Well my husband and I are back after an amazing week long vacation in Palm Springs (ohhh and a much needed stop to squeeze my nephews and niece).  We had a wonderful time staying at the Ace (I think they may have the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in) and eating our way through the town.  I had a lot of friends email me while we were away asking me about our fave spots in the desert, so I thought I'd put together a little guide for you.  Just a few hotels that we love and some yummy joints we frequent while there on vacation.  Enjoy!

To stay:

Ace Hotel: As I said, quite possibly the most comfy beds we've ever stayed in.  It's definitely got a hipster vibe to it, so it's not for everyone, but the rooms are awesome and usually pretty reasonable rates.

The Parker: This is by far my favorite hotel. The gorgeous grounds (with endless paths), make you want to just wander around all afternoon. And of course the hotel decor (designed by one of my faves, Jonathan Adler) is amazing! Sometimes you can find online deals, but you really have to search.

Korakia: This is still on our list of hotels to stay at. Everyone I know who has stayed there, can't stop talking about how wonderful it is.

To eat:

Cheeky's: Love this place for breakfast or brunch.

Mr Parker's at The Parker: Soooooo good for dinner. And shhhhhh, we once saw Drew Barrymore there.

Citron at Viceroy: We've been here for dinner and loved it.

Birba: Awesome drinks and the most delicious pizza.

happy weekend.

YAY, it's the weekend and a long one at that.  Hope you are all spending time with those you love.  And hopefully wherever that might be, involves a little drink by the pool. xoxo!

dreamy dress.

Of course this dress is vintage (all of the beauties seem to be that way, right?)  Well, this dress might be impossible to find but I am determined to find something similar.  White and flowy with sequins or beads, yes please!  I'm on the hunt.

modern budget. 8.

The famous quote "the coldest winter I ever spent, was a summer in San Francisco" is not far from the truth.  As summer approaches, instead of grabbing our thin / light clothing, we are pretty much reaching for our jackets.  Not that I mind one bit (shhhhhh, I actually really like the cold weather).  So this outfit is inspired by our cold summers here in the city.  Lots of layers and of course a lip color with a pop.  And I'm finally wearing this jacket!  Thanks again Melanie for the pics.
