The Perfect President's Day ~ Palm Springs

It wasn't easy to figure out what to do with the upcoming 3-day weekend. All I knew was that 1). I needed some R&R 2). I wanted a girls weekend and 3). I couldn't go to far. So, after exploring a possible road trip through the Mexican wine country (which I'm still dying to do) and almost booking a camping trip in Big Sur. We've decided upon Palm Springs - with its close proximity to LA, its sunny heat in the dead of winter, its adorable and abundant hotel selection, and its mid century design and old Hollywood history - Palm Springs makes it the perfect Get Me Out of LA girls weekend. 

There’s something so therapeutic about desert,  its dry heat, plentiful drinks and slow pace is just something you can’t recreate anywhere else. Here is my list of "to-dos"for the weekend:

Catching some rays on a rope lounge chair at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club and soak up views of the San Jacinto Mountains (preferably with drink in hand).

Wear something bright & bomenian honor of Ms. Palm Springs aka Tory Burch.

Stay at the Riviera and eat breakfast in bed

then go for Brunch at Cheeky's

and finally, shopping at the at the Desert Hills Outlets and maybe a little hiking too.
