Bits and Tips: Palm Springs

Colorful straw bags and gold sandals at Elizabeth & Prince 

I've been vacationing in Palm Springs since I was a wee little thing—barely walking. My parents loved the vibe, heat and all that came with it and now, so do I. Spending the recent Holiday at La Quinta Resort & Club was just what the doctor ordered. And while most things stay the same, I'm always discovering new places to eat, shop and explore. Here's some bits and tips from my recent visit
A margarita from the Adobe Grill—the best in my opinion.
Lounging by the pool in a J.Crew chambray top.
 Elizabeth & Princewhich just opened a new location in El Paseo!—and a clutch my sister and I were obsessing over in the store. 
Incredibly authentic chocolate, almond and plain croissants from Juliette's Bakery.


Other recent desert discoveries:
Sense
Sissy bingo at the Ace Hotel (every Monday night)
$6 breakfast burritos at La Quinta Resort
Spa Villas at the La Quinta Resort
Thrift store shopping in Palm Springs
Henry's Market
