Weekend Snaps

Poolside brunch at the Purple Palm restaurant & bar.

This past weekend the beau and I made a quick trip to Palm Springs to visit my incredibly cool grandparents. We took them to lunch at The Parker, played their favorite dominos game Mexican Train and shared some unforgettable laughs. I fell in love with the boutique hotel we stayed at called the Colony Palms Hotel. It had that old school Palm Springs vibe but with an exotic spin. Here are some snaps from our impromptu weekend. Side note: I read my 91-year-old grandmother all the sweet comments everyone made on the picture I posted of her here and it was priceless to see her smile, blush a little and say, I'm famous! 
I couldn't get enough of the stylish patterns in our room, especially this headboard.
 The best banana cream pie I've ever had at Spencer's
 Ariel Gordon Love Knot Ring + Teddy Girl by Butter London
 I forgot how much I love rocking chairs after sitting in one of these for a bit.
My favorite part about the Colony Palms Hotel was the lush grounds with tons of private areas to relax, unwind and soak in the heat.
