More stripes (I know!) for dinner at my favorite n More stripes (I know!) for dinner at my favorite new Palm Springs restaurant The Barn @sparrowslodge. Have you been? 👇🏼

I can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on this gem all these years because I thought it was “too rustic” for my style. Boy, was I wrong!

The John Dory dish was 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 and the Paloma perfectly mixed. Have been twice in one week, if that says anything. 

p.s. Sparrows is by the same owners of two more of my favorite Palm Springs restaurants. Can you name them? 💙🤍💙🤍

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:

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.

Your turn…

Please share your favorite San Diego spots! 😘
