My First Red Carpet in My Own Design 💚 A big My First Red Carpet in My Own Design 💚 

A big pinch-me moment: Last week I wore one of my Kelly Golightly Collection dresses on the @stepupwomensnetwork Inspiration Awards red carpet in LA alongside my incredible friends @iamdawnmccoy & @sarahjanemorristheactress — both of whom also wore the collection!!!

It was beyond special to celebrate empowering the next generation of women, while taking this leap myself. You’re never too old or too young to make your dreams come true. 

Forever thankful to them for including me! More photos coming soon…

The Kelly Golightly Collection of limited-edition caftans + dresses is officially on its way: designed in our beloved Palm Springs, made in Los Angeles, and created with you in mind. 🍾 

More details (and the official launch date!) coming very soon, but today @fredbaby13 & I just want to pause and say THANK YOU for letting us share this first and for cheering us on all these years. 

Your encouragement means everything — there is no Kelly Golightly Collection without you! And there is no Kelly Golightly without Fred Baby. 😍 And there is no inspiration without Palm Springs!

Female Founders Dinner hosted by @shopburu ✨ One Female Founders Dinner hosted by @shopburu ✨ One of those truly magical LA nights ✨

Morgan & Brett Hutchinson — the brilliant couple behind BURU — opened their beautiful home for an evening of conversation, connection, celebration, fabulous food… and a surprise private performance by the @aqualillies! And a surprise party crasher (see the end!) 👀 

I so admire what this duo has built — both personally and professionally — and felt honored to be among such powerhouse female founders under a starry early autumn sky. 💫 

I wore pieces from my Kelly Golightly x BURU collection — and it made my night to spot a fabulous woman gloriakellett wearing the pink cape I designed in a previous BURU collab. 💕

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 💛

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.
