SWEET STYLE. MODERN ARC
The boyfriend and I have a love for modern architecture, so on our way in to Palm Springs last weekend we stopped by the visitor center and picked up a map of noteworthy mid-century modern homes and buildings. Our last day in town we spent driving around, admiring all the vintage gems and imagining the Palm Springs life of the 50's and 60's. I borrowed this incredible vintage dress from my dear friend Kerry and it fit right in with the scenery...

SWEET STYLE. PALM SPRINGS BIRTHDAY
The night of Lilly's birthday party James and I had a lot of fun taking photos. It was quite a night, we frolicked in the orchard, ate delicious food, played bocce and to top it all off one of the guests put on a fire show. Yup, really.

SNAPSHOTS FROM THE KORAKIA
We are back from a delightful weekend in Palm Springs- To be honest we didn't want it to end. It was Miss Lilly's birthday, who you might remember from here, here and here. We all stayed on the Mediterranean side of the Korakia and insane amounts of fun and laughter ensued. The Korakia is romantic and relaxing. I loved roaming the property and photographing the little treasures around every corner. I embraced the Moroccan feel and wore a kaftan and a tie-dye turban to lounge by the pool...

STYLE ICON. CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG
Charlotte Gainsbourg is undeniably cool- Being the daughter of 60's "it couple" Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourge, she was pretty much born with style. She manages to balance her slightly tomboyish look with more feminine pieces and somehow seems to do it all effortlessly. It is no wonder she's been a muse for designers such as Balenciaga. This actress/singer even caught the eye of Beck, who produced and co-wrote Charlotte's critically acclaimed album IRM...

STYLE ICON. GRACE KELLY
Grace Kelly is America's fairy tale princess. She not only had perfectly elegant style, she was stunningly beautiful, a talented actress and to top it all off she became a real life princess. Pretty dreamy. Her name has almost become an adjective- "Oooh that dress is so Grace Kelly" {i.e. beautiful, classic, glamorous}. Women will always want to be like her because "Grace" never goes out of style...

SWEET STYLE. INDIAN WINTER
The boyfriend and I had quite an adventure filled Monday with our friends Phil and Afton. It started with a trip to the races at Santa Anita Park, something both James and I were excited to check out. We later got punch bowls at this amazingly kitsch tiki bar- Bahooka and ended the night playing trivia at The York.
The races were so fun. James even won $5 on the horse Indian Winter, ha. It was 88 degrees out so I had to dress accordingly. I ended up finding this old f21 skirt in my closet and tried to channel 1950s Italy. Afton looked adorable in her day at the races/menswear/Annie Hall inspired outfit. How much do you love her vintage shoes?!...
