Summer vacation is finally here! Heading up to British Columbia tomorrow for a week of relaxation and family fun. When I travel I like to be as comfortable and efficient as possible, so I thought I'd share my top travel essentials with you today, from luggage to what to wear on the plane. See you next week! xo
Palm Springs is one of my favorite places for a quick getaway and always guarantees beautiful sunny weather. This desert oasis is also home to some incredible restaurants and boutique hotels. I recently stayed at the Ace Hotel and enjoyed their fabulous pool and camp-like room.
For breakfast, I always head to Cheeky's, a popular spot so be prepared for the wait; but it's worth it.
Lunch requires less effort. The Ace Hotel's King's Highway is perfect for a fresh poolside lunch and refreshing cocktails. I also love Norma's because you can meander through The Parker's secret gardens afterwards.
For dinner, I love the Purple Palm or Mister Parkers.
For things to do, especially if you're obsessed with Mid-Century Modern homes like myself, be sure to check out The Modern Tour, led by Michael Stern, author of "Julius Shulman: Palm Springs," the seminal book about the architectural photographer.
Not sure what to pack? Here is some desert style inspiration...don't forget the SPF!
