✨Any places calling your name? 🗺️ 🧳 He ✨Any places calling your name? 🗺️ 🧳 

Here’s what was waiting for me in Prague last summer:

 - Architecture that rivaled Paris 
-  Music wafting out of neighborhood windows 
- A gentle reminder to never judge a place before you’ve been 
- Unbelievable vintage shopping 🛍️ 
- A gentle reminder that the destination AND the journey are always worth it and that stripes are always a good idea
- New friends who made my heart smile 
- The reminder that I CAN do things on my own
- The lesson that you don’t know what you don’t know (I assumed Prague would be all about beer & gothic architecture — I was SO wrong
- Falling in love (again) with a new place is an incredible feeling & to treasure it

And, probably most important of all, to live in the moment, because it’s all we have 💛

To be added to the list of things that make Palm Springs homes so special:

- doors #psiloveyourhouse

And those are just the exterior delights / observed from driving by. 

Tell me a town with better curb appeal! I’ll wait…
ISO a divine design destination in which to have —or prevent! 🤞— a nervous breakdown? Fahhhbulous! Right this way, darrrrrling 👉🏼👇🏼

Meet PSYC — Palm Springs Yacht Club — the spa @parkerpalmsprings…where upon entering,  my eyes sprung out of my head, then proceeded to cha-cha, cartwheel & backflip! 👀 💃🏻🤸 

The iconic Slim Aarons photos! The blue-and-white striped cabanas and lounge chairs! Jonathan Adler’s cheeky-chic design twists were giving me life! 🤍💙

Not only were the spa services chakra-tingling (the floating sound bath & scalp massage…yes please, more please, thank you) but the sublime blue-and-white design was worth a visit alone. 

I’ll be back this September for Spa Month (have two words together ever sounded better?!), when all services will be 20% off (fair warning, my fellow procrastinators: spots fill up fast, so the sooner you book, the better). 

See you there?! 

Pssst…  @visitgreaterps rounded up all the best deals at spas & resorts across the desert on SpaMonthGPS.com, should you wish to have a tryst with not one but several spas this September. No gatekeeping (or judging) here 😉😉 

p.s. Now tell me…What’s your favorite design detail?
Oh what a feeling it is to fall in love again! 💚🤍

San Diego, I didn’t see you coming. Thank you  @sydnesummer for showing us the magic & charm of your new hometown. 

Our San Diego Faves:
Rancho Santa Fe { @theinnatrsf }
La Jolla { Honey }
Del Mar { Monarch & Dog Beach 🐶 }

Your turn…

Please share your favorite San Diego spots! 😘
